Ngongba Visiting October 13th (First Night)

[gtcam]

Not every school does the little things like our staff.

You don't know that, in fact many of the players I coached in soccer had individualized perks at many lower level D1 and some D2 schools. It's not a hard thing to do. UConn men's BB staff is good, but they aren't heads above most others - it's not what you do it's what you say, and the UConn staff seems to be saying the right things to most of these kids.
Can't imagine what schools like Bama, Michigan, etc. (even Dook) do with unlimited from boosters.

Dream scenario is that this weekend goes so well he commits to the staff but they tell him to go take that Duke visit next weekend before announcing so he can bring Cooper back to Storrs with him.

The key here is showing how we have developed bigs. K State and Duke cannot compete in that area.

Would love that dream scenario and no one recruits better than Danny. But the thought of Patrick, AJ, and Cooper all together at Duke's First Night does concern me.

I feel Patrick, a true center, could be a lynchpin in getting Cooper here.

How on earth would you know what I know?

You seem pretty transparent.

Sanogo and Clingan are going to be the start of an awesome bigs pipeline. Like 2000s UConn.

Is Tom coaching the bigs? Whoever is taking the lead there is killing it.

Very happy with the two guys we have coming to First Night, quality over quantity.

I think it took Danny awhile to appreciate at our level how important (essential) it is to have great Bigs. He definitely gets it now after Adama changed the landscape.

It didn't take Hurley a while. Bigs were a priority from day 1. He spent a lot of recruiting capital on Kofi Cockburn and most thought he would be at Storrs, Hurley didn't do like Ollie and search out a 3 star big after he missed on Cockburn. Focus shifted to the 2020 class and Adama and Javonte Brown Ferguson were the commits. Bigs were always a priority.

Exactly, visit will be more special for the cousins. Could be by design. I think they will close patrick and have an exceptional class. I cooper joins will be number one class

About as likely as you being a 25-year-old Hawaiian organ donor

Really glad we got 30 minutes of Joe Zone instead of watching the team skills competition and dunk contest

It’s not what you do it’s what you say??? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that espoused as a strategy in my life.

Camerawork was terrible. They could have done coaches interviews while showing skills contest. They kept switching to close ups during three point shooting contest and couldn’t see if shots went in.

Totally, because you know some people that “had individualized perks” (I never said they didn’t) that means every staff is equally good at official visits and also all do the exact same things.

Also, everyone knows the legendary phrase “it’s not what you do, but what you say that matters” and that is exactly why UConn just won a chip.

We won because we said we would, not because we actually did?? What are you people talking about??

That is the fault of the technical director They call the camera shots. Bad understanding of how to broadcast a live event.

Wasn't there a stretch where we led the nation in blocks for 8 or 9/10 years in a row?

And make Duke spend money for nothing.

Was thinking the same thing. Absolutely terrible production value
