Message: [QUOTE="NJHoops, post: 3251261, member: 8779"] Just to clarify, I wasn’t chased away or run off... it’s a message board, not a mafia controlled neighborhood. Probably a flaw on my part, but I get overly frustrated with the disruption when someone constantly makes themself the focus when I really just want to read or talk about basketball (or pizza or vacations or pets or whatever else pops up). I worry this is what this is, but some people were kind enough to reach out with some nice words, so that’s what this is for. As for Lane, a UConn commitment would surprise almost everyone involved at this point. But, you recruit guys the right way, especially those from good programs and with teammates you also hope to have a chance with (Cliff, uphill battle that it is). With bigs, last year they targeted a handful who seemed like possible gets but kept the focus narrow because they didn’t want a project who never developed and were happy to go with talent over position. This year, they’re in a better position with known supporting players. These guys talk, and this staff tries to be open with all their targets directly and expect as much honesty as possible from the other side, too. [/QUOTE]
