Rocket Man!

Pumped we offered. He went off in EYBL session 1.

Stats: The Family Detroit (@TheFamily_BBall) - 2018 NIKE EYBL - Roster - #3 - Rocket Watts - G

He’s from Detroit so UM and MSU will be all over him. 2019 is really thin at PG so I doubt they’ll be the only big programs in play. He could end up a 5*

Always more impressive when they perform well against EYBL competition.

Sounds like the guitarist from a band who opened for the Eagles in the late 70s.

interesting that the last few offers have been midwest guys, when hurley specifically said he was going to focus on the bo-wash northeastern corridor. wonder if it's kenya hunter's recruiting connections from minnesota?

Offering a bunch of top 100 kids who you like, regardless of where they're from or if they've shown interest in the program, is pretty standard is it not? Kansas State offers like every top 300 kid.

Glad to see we are going after some athletic lead guards to eventually take the reins (hopefully) from Gilbert. I like Mulcahy, a lot actually, but he seems more like a complimentary, glue guy more than a guy who will "lead" a team.

He said he was “blessed to receive an offer from University of UConn” hopefully someone tells him the school’s actual name if he commits here.

Oh, shut up.

Who cares?

The important thing is that we might get a kid named Rocket. We need that.

I really like how busy this coaching staff is identifying and reaching out to these players. Very confident that UConn will have a succession of terrific classes coming in, one after the other. The recruiting strengths and work ethic of these four coaches is impressive. It speaks to great coordination between themselves and the opportunity they must know they each have to be part of something special. Championship basketball is being reestablished in Storrs Connecticut. Makes me want to break out clapping. Yeeha man.

UConn on the Rise!

If we miss out on "Rocket" who is a super target...I hope we spread our wings just a little and target Rejean "Boogie" Ellis out of Cali. "Boogie" is the real deal.

Anyways really love this offer. I think "Boogie" will be outside our target area. Keep an eye out for this kid though.

I am starting to feel pretty bullish with our efforts also.

Is he as cool as this dude?

I distinctly remember Taliek Brown announcing his intention to join the UConn University Huskies. Worked out OK.

I like UCONN better for branding purposes than the "University of Connecticut".

Wait...

We're recruiting Kim Jong Un???

As for his decision: Well I think it's gonna be a long long time

He’s no Rocket Richard, that’s for sure.

Has he got a big sidekick named Groot?

Someone who could plant himself in the paint.

What an incredulous statement!

Kids typically sign in the fall of their senior year correct?
