Montez Mathis

[4in16]

Then why wouldn't he go to VA tech?

Allergic to sweat stains?

 

[Paesano]

Just having fun. I didn't hear a damn thing.

 

[RichZ]

Rutgers Al and the other one are going to be yelling and clapping!

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

There's been talk of Montez and Jalen Carey wanting to play together. Wonder if that comes into play here.

 

[Storrs South]

Go take a look at his most recent follows on twitter

All Ru in the crystal ball

At the beginning of the week I was feeling positive about this and now 4 days later I would be surprised if he came here.

 

[JSM1970]

Rutty picking up a bunch more picks in last hour or 2, 5 new Rutty picks. No UConn picks since 8/1. Now 60-40 UConn, was 100% 3 days ago

I'd be pleasantly surprised m if UConn gets him at this point

 

[nashusky109]

These guys love teasing us

 

[HuskyNationJE]

Went from 91% on the Crystal Ball this morning to 50/50.

So the crystal ball is swinging Rutgers way but he's following the whole UConn team plus a bunch of UConn legends. Anyone know if he follows Rutgers players? Recruiting is weird.

A couple but not nearly as many and certainly not many all at once

He follows Geo Baker but I think he has been for a while. The UConn follows are brand new. Gun to my head if I had to choose between having the crystal ball in our favor or having him follow our entire team on twitter the night before commiting I'd probably take the latter.

I hate recruiting. Why do I pay attention to these things.

Entire team and almost every legend that he would have remembered.

Since I'm bored at work I scrolled through real quick and his UConn follows seem to be KO, Men's Hoops account, Tyler Polley, Josh Carlton, Kemba, Eric Cobb, Coach Chill, Villanueva, Rip, Shabazz, Caron, Rudy, Jalen, Alterique, Mamadou, J Lamb, Emeka, Larrier, and Ricky. On the other hand I saw Geo Baker and a Rutgers assistant coach as Rutgers follows. Yada yada peak boneyard but it would seem weird to follow all those UConn players if he was going to play at Rutgers. Maybe it's just because Hobbs coached half of them so they obviously count as Rutgers players too.

 

[aceboon]

How recent are all the UConn twitter follows?

 

[intlzncster]

There he is...

 

[reddevilhusky]

How recent are all the UConn twitter follows?

A lot of them are from today. Some like Coach Chill were already there but a large portion are very recent.

This would be a new low-water mark.

 

[BaZZnBOAT]

This recruiting battle has been one of the oddest. 247 aside, which is just a big jerk fest for Slater and co., he's been pretty interested in both sides. The following the entire team thing though is notable imo. Why do that if the NEXT DAY you are going to say you're going elsewhere. Of course, we don't know for sure until tomorrow. Let's see.

Uhhhhhhh yeah this is pretty significant in my opinion.

Misdirection. Recruiting can get weird.

That's a good point... Just seems pointless to go to that length. Who knows.

whats weird is that someone would choose Rutgers over UConn. That's weird. Call me crazy, but this weirdness needs to end one way or another.

Yup, kids LOVE the drama of it these days. 2017 is all about getting attention by any means necessary.

 

[WinnersCircle]

Pretty sure a similar crystal ball run happened for Louisville with Vital last year. If one top guy flips they all flip.

I was just going to say. If you're a college recruit trying to build suspense, is there an easier move than to start following a bunch of players from a school you're not going to? If I have a kid who plays major D-1 ball, I will make him do this.
