Luguentz Dort

[King Husky]

247 just bumped him to 11th in the class of 2018, obviously making him a 5 star recruit. Let's hope Ricky has an in here.

Top 247 has him at #9. The composite has him at #68. Don't think I've ever seen such a discrepancy for a top 10 player, but there must be an explanation.

 

[Jaker]

Ricky and Rip should visit him and show him their rings.

 

[UCweCONN]

Kentucky's not after him so we have a chance.....Actually, Kentucky lets these schools burn up their recruiting budgets and beat each other up and then like the leader of a pride of lions comes in once the kill is made and eats first.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Haha sorry if I wasn't clear, what I meant was did you like it more when you got recruiting info second hand a la 99 or tcf, etc. Or now that you get it personally from your sources and you relay it to the rest of us.

Considering how wrong my source has been lately, I think I appreciate the other insiders on the board more.

You could say the other schools are cheetahs, who put in all the legwork making the kill, then get bullied off of it when they try to eat.

"Osse, meantime, listed Oregon, Michigan State, Arizona State, Miami, Illinois, Indiana, Florida and St. John’s as the schools working the hardest." I'd like to see us working the hardest for somebody. Maybe we are for Jalen Carey. If you're only working the hardest for one guy, you'd better get that guy.

 

[superjohn]

Scratch another one off the list that many were saying was one of our 3 or 4 priority recruits for 2018.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I thought we would be in this til the end. Another blow.

 

[scotty0330]

2018 looks like it's getting off to a great start

 

[Huskyforlife]

Someone defend this.

 

[Huskymagic]

The latest UCONN Tragicomedy continues.

We have supposedly great recruiters who are getting hammered by LSU, Providence, the Johnnies, and the Hall.

Providence, Miami, and Oregon lately have been on the rise with a few recruits we have lost out on.

 

[KingAG]

Someone defend this.

Defending "this" before you see who we get is just as stupid as casting aspersions on it before seeing who we obtain. Let the recruiting cycle play out before killing the staff. We are still in a seemingly good place with multiple 2018 recruits and could still be in it for dort. Recruiting is "fluid". One week we have no shot for sid Wilson the next we lead, the next we don't. Let this stuff play out first. You'd think this board would have learned its lesson by now

You got your wish, Ant to the rescue!

You would think so, but yet here you are.

To the rescue of what? What am I defending? If we end up with jalen Carey over dort I'm good. We weren't getting both..Now if we miss on both, have at it. But can we wait see what happens first? Thats unreasonable?

Plus it appears Carey is the one we really wanted anyways. We have prioritized him so I agree let's see it play out before we say doom for 2018

Eventually, even this one will realize that something's very, very wrong.

Until then, he'll just keep flailing and pretending that the problem is here.

Doubt it, he headlines the group that thinks the problems are all boneyard related.

I don't think any UConn fan is "hoping" for bad news. Before this off-season a lot of these same posters were very optimistic about the future. I just think this off-season has conditioned many here to expect the worst and in many cases complain about things that haven't even happened yet. I dont believe its intentional and I dont even blame them. But I prefer to let situations play out before making judgment. I dont cry about spilled milk before it spills that does nothing.

KO needs to personally be visiting every top recruit they're after in 18.

 

[Hi-Low]

Going to have to fight tooth & nail for a couple top 100 recruits in 2018....hope KO & Co are ready to get in the mud...they simply cannot come up empty.

I agree, the gloves need to come off , the admissions office needs to be the easy pass lane and Bunkey needs to be given some job at the University even if Dave Benedict needs to create one. We may not be able to control conference affiliation but I am tired of recruits not having a phenomenal time on their visits. No excuse for that! If you can pay KO $3M+ you can find $30k for Bunkey. Maybe we need to start a Bunkey endowment chair?

 

[Huskyforlife]

I kinda want Bunkey back so he stops coming up in every thread.

Please. A party animal like Bunk goes through 30k in liquor every friday night.
