list of recruits on 1st night.

[Matrim55]

Jones is a monster. He looks like he's on a pogo stick, and has really impressive body control.

I can't believe how much talent is coming out of New England now after 2 "down" decades. If we get the best in the region, we'll be set for a long, long time.

 

[AstarIsBorn31]

And some more names I was just told about from their AAU coach:
2016:
SG Arkel Ager
PF Chris Baldwin
SG Saul Phiri

Will have a complete rundown of all the players and a little info on each tomorrow afternoon.

Agerrrrr in the housee... This list is ridiculous.. Ollie is spoiling us.... Cant wait to see some of these guys in the showcase at Albertus

Tyrique Jones is another CT. kid who is following Enoch's path from being on nobody's radar to being on everyone's very quickly. He holds offers from K State, Xavier, Texas Tech. Georgetown was in to watch him a couple of days ago, Indiana is interested and Cincinnati just offered today.....glad he will be at our First Night!

 

[Matrim55]

Yes he did a little while ago but from what I saw quickly no one has an updated profile on him.

Hey 3, when you get a chance can you add hometowns to the list of the recruits? Curious to see where we're drawing from.

 

[mauconnfan]

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

Are these the kids from Putnam in WesMass?

 

[azescobar]

3- you are killing it. Thanks a lot for the updates. This will definitely be a great night..planting seeds - Ollie is Jonnie Appleseed!

 

[donyell34]

Not only planting seeds but there growing like crazy. We'll have a ripe and healthy orchard for years.

 

[ctchamps]

At this rate they'll have to move the venue to the Rent. Seating is running out for the fans.

Just love that so many recruits are attending. I still feel that in 2 or 3 years, if UConn continues it's success, KO will win recruiting battles against the elite programs. The AAC argument against UConn will be debunked. And one of two things will happen. More and more top recruits will head to AAC teams to play against UConn making the AAC conference one of the premier bb conferences. Or one or more of the P5 (with ESPN's encouragement) will invite UConn to their conference to reduce competition.

Another visitor:
2018 PG Aaron Clarke who also goes to Roselle Catholic with Nazreon Reid who is also coming.

18 recruits by my count.

All these guys play for the MacDuffie School(MA). Going by Twitter handles(left to right), Unique Mclean, Kashaun Hicks, Jordy Idikayi, Jaylen Franklin, Carlos Gonzalez.

If you were wondering, yes, Brad Calipari is John Calipari's son.

 

[Kembacity]

This is insane, are we having a fire sale on recruiting or something!? And they'll hopefully be able to take them thru the new facility and show them the hardware.

Why is calipari allowed to come? honestly, get this rat out of there, if I hear about anything bad happening to the new facility, we need a coalition of the willing hunting that rat kid down!

Way I see it - kid knows who the winners really are. Why attend the pretenders when you can attend the contenders.

Gampel filling up nice?

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

It's pretty full people are still coming in though the whole right side is empty with reserved signs on it. I assume for recruits and what not.

 

[Walker11]

[BoatShow]

ESPN3 will show the whole event I think

 

[huskypantz]

Just logged in and the place looks packed. Lots of coaching lapses early - a lot to be worried about this year if this is a sign of things to come
