Super production of the kid! I'm thrilled UConn is his dream school.

 

[3uconn]

Yes 4 kids are expected right now to my knowledge.

 

[superjohn]

I also hope we are all over '17 Jordan Hardwick, he is going to blow up bigtime.

This kid is beyond a keeper...

 

[UConn3432]

i'm sure more will end up coming, but that seems like a pretty low number with 2 days to go.

 

[Clockshop]

looks like VJ King also. 5 star sf

That's awesome.

 

[3uconn]

Not too surprised to see King coming. All I can say is we are after him very hard.

Nice!
VJ King is a big time prospect. This is a very good sign. Obviously, Waters is big too, but he seems to be very Pro UConn already. I'd be surprised if Waters went elsewhere, similar to Drummond & Enoch. I'd like to see Jermaine Samuels there too... Let them see the Dual Championship Banners being unveiled... then a tour of the new Champions Center.

 

[husky99]

King and water are big time recruits

 

[UconnU]

VJ King is as big as they come. Offers from every elite program. Would be a major major land.

 

[UCweCONN]

We've gotta pack the place for 1st Night and impress those recruits.

 

[UConn17]

Wasn't there a rumor a couple weeks ago that Jayson Tatum may visit as well?

 

[3uconn]

There was. However, as of now he's not going to be here. Things can change though.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

I don't want Tremont at UConn... I NEED Tremont at UConn

 

[UconnU]

I don't want Tremont at UConn... I NEED Tremont at UConn

13 PPG as a Frosh at South Kent playing against the best competition in the country, a lot of D1 post grad players, is INSANE. We need to land this kid.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Won't see two banners being revealed at once at any other school; I imagine the place is going to be going crazy

 

[superjohn]

For those of us out-of-staters who can't make it, the telecast will be on ESPN3.

 

[uconnbill]

ESPNU will also be showing it along with a few other schools.

 

[UChusky916]

Like many in the thread I'm sold on Waters after only a youtube video. Kid looks like a stud in the making.

 

[3uconn]

Wenyen Gabriel will be there.

 

[UconnU]

 

[UconnU]

Wenyen Gabriel will be there.

any idea if we're involved with Bruce Brown? top 50 combo guard from Vermont we should be all over...

 

[tcf15]

“@AdamZagoria: 6-8 2016 PF Tyrique Jones of Vermont Academy will also be at UConn's Midnight Madness”

 

[AstarIsBorn31]

“@AdamZagoria: 6-8 2016 PF Tyrique Jones of Vermont Academy will also be at UConn's Midnight Madness”

Jones is a monster athlete this list is getting better and better.. Cant wait, wouldve liked to see Arkel Ager and Jared Wilson Frame from CT attend too...

 

[husky99]

Add 2017 SF Jermaine Samuels to this list of visitors tomorrow night for First Night. List now up to eight recruits.

He's 1b on my personal want list for 2017 after Waters.

 

[superjohn]

http://www.newenglandrecruitingreport.com/ Check out the video with Jermaine Samuels, kid is unbelievably well spoken for a 15 year old.

 

[3uconn]

Full updated list so far:
Jalen Adams, Steven Enoch, Jermaine Samuels, V.J. King, Tyrique Jones, Wenyen Gabriel, Tremont Waters, Makai Ashton-Langford, and Nate Pierre-Louis.

 

[JLock819]

Sign me up for Waters and Samuels ASAP.

 

[superjohn]

Sign me up for Waters and Samuels ASAP.

Agreed, no recruits are a must but these two are as close as it comes. They are local and have a very uncommon skill level and maturity for their age, they are also UConn fans.

 

[UconnU]

He's 1b on my personal want list for 2017 after Waters.

Mine too.. Whats crazy is at 6'7 he has the ability to play guard. With his super tight handle.

 

[EricSD]

That's just a crazy list! 8 kids, and only 2 of them are committed already. 6 potential recruits. Just wow. And half of those names are new to me. I can't say enough how incredibly impressed I am with Ollie and his team. Remarkable and spectacular don't seem effusive enough...

 

[3uconn]

Another recruit I was just told that will be here, 2016 C Samuel Japheth-Mathias. Moved to the U.S. about a month ago and is at Vermont Academy. Coach Hobbs was there yesterday to watch him and a few others including Tyrique Jones who will also be here. Was quoted recently saying he likes UConn, UNC, and Kentucky.

Samuel is someone who we could be hearing a lot about in the next year or so. I've been told he's been very impressive so far.

With Samuel there are now 10 expected visitors for tomorrow night.

“I like UConn, North Carolina, and Kentucky because they play smart basketball and it’s good for exposure,” [Japhet-Mathias] said.

 

[3uconn]

And was just told of two more visitors that the staff watched the other day. 2016 PF Mamadou Diarra and 2017 SG Hamidou Diallo.

 

[3uconn]

Borges reporting today's 2018 offeree Nazreon Reid will be here as well.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

All we need is a last minute visitor from Wisconsin...but I shouldn't be greedy.

A cross between Napier and Boatright.
