Is this the big that played at a prep here in CT at one point? If he's one in the same, then I always found in strange that the mutual interest wasn't stronger. It seemed that he cooled on UConn early, though it seemed that UConn didn't pursue him as hard as one would think since he was as regional talent. Now I'm wondering if they had some major concerns about his academics or character.
Please note that I'm not trying to start any rumors. I have no idea what went on during his recruitment, but I wonder if they felt there were risks and had a wait and see at best while SU was willing to go all in early. If he's the one I'm thinking about he committed to the Cuse pretty early on in the process.
