Only program he talks about the pitch being development, how we've developed bigs, and getting to the next level is UConn. Then he says his priority in choosing a school is development... Could be nothing, could be something.

But at the very least, it's clear that he has the same priorities that we do as a program and he's hearing what makes our program special.

I think people got pessimistic about this recruiting battle because the second official wasn’t made public for so long, but there’s obviously still a lot going on here. This staff’s teams are always bonded and tight with each other- it was clear in June, it’s even better now.

A little more effort from the OP on Ngongba’s name wouldn’t hurt.

His “k” response felt disrespectful as well.

 

[brihman]

He only tossed k back for that type of scoop? That’s Duke level entitlement right there

 

[fatlucy]

DOOMED!

 

[HuskyHawk]

He seems truly undecided. Visits will determine it most likely.

I always seem to find myself disappointed this isn't broadcast on TV or it's on FloSports.

Does anyone know if it will be broadcast on TV this wknd? We are the defending national champs with a roster capable of repeating.

We treat our program like a mid major and wonder why no power conference is interested.

First Night will air locally on WFSB and will stream for free on UConn+ (UConnPlus.tv).

EDIT: ESPN doesn't care about college hoops anymore other than filler content and doesn't give it the TLC it gives to the NFL and NBA so they don't do the whip around or dedicated First Night coverage they used to have. It also hurts that every one doesn't start on the same day anymore so it takes some of the buzz away when they used to do it. So it's a little bit of ESPN killing anything that isn't a sacred cow and NCAA being terrible at marketing itself.

You really think we treat our MBB & WBB programs like a mid-major?

Surprised there's no articles yet about what recruits are showing up for first night.

I've been pessimistic about this recruitment all summer but I'm having a good feeling as long as we get him to campus this weekend

Would have loved to see Nowell- there as well. Hoping he still makes the trip.

Both casual and mid-major, so sad...

Really surprising that we have won 5 titles. Boy are we lucky.

 

[KingAG]

Someone yell Cooper Flagg to stop by. I have the perfect pitch for him!! Haha

 

[CardiacAndre7]

1 uncommitted recruit is very underwhelming. Would think you could at least get a group of interested underclassmen to visit, First Night is a big recruiting piece for a lot of schools.
