OT: Isaiah Stewart commits to Washington

[UConnSwag11]

Burns cuse and GMac

 

[UconnU]

Mike Hopkins has been recruiting him for 5 years, relationships matter.

Cuse may increase activity with Wahab and Carrigan(top JUCO big)now, 2 players we are after.

Don't think we're after Carrigan now. However, Borges or someone mentioned Hurley going out on the JUCO recruiting trail sometime soon. Wonder if he'll get us back involved with Carrigan

 

[BackAftaThis]

I can get over missing on recruits but when you lose a top 5 local recruit because you kept a head coach longer than you should have and your coach in waiting lands him at his new job....yeesh

 

[Northbound]

SU fans thought thst since Girafd went to SU it was going to influence Stewart becsuee they play for the City Rocks, but that wasn’t ever going to happen. Hop was going to bring him the UW.

 

[Jholla2183]

How could SU not see this coming. Hop already got 2 city rocks kids on the roster. It wasn’t hard to believe he could sway Stewart too. Now he’s on the verge of landing Jaden McDaniels too. Cuse gonna kick themselves for letting boeheim control the terms

 

[HooperScooper]

Stewart on his commitment to Washington:

"I’m not your average recruit," he added. "I could have gone to another school and been just another one of those guys, but I feel like I’m special and I feel like I deserve to go out there and I feel like they deserve a top recruit. I’m going after Jaden McDaniels and we are trying to build something out there."

That's the type of attitude that's going to get Hurley a top 10 recruit. Someone who wants to leave a legacy as the guy who brought UConn back to prominence.

GMac is many things. Being a horrible recruiter is only one of them.

Boeheim and GMac may be the worst recruiting duo in college basketball.

They should send Devo out to recruit parents would be immediately impressed.

What exactly is happening with carrigan? Maybe I’m mistaken, but it seems like he could’ve been playing D1 college basketball for the last two years now and always seems on the verge of going somewhere, only to disappear from the news entirely

He has a record of fighting with teammates, criminal activity, poor academic performance, and getting kicked out of schools. He is a basketball talent but not a guy coaches want on their team.

Perfect fit for Boeheim.

 

[Storrs South]

This is a fun listen

 

[gtcam]

Stewart is really good but not as big physically (muscle and bulk) as I envisioned
His teammate Brooks is a pogo stick - love his game

Nothing gets Mom's attention like jumping on the dining room table.

Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha, that was great! Why on earth would they post that???

Can't wait til he's the next HC. I hope Boeheim pulls a Calhoun and sticks them with him.

You can start here, mentions him getting kicked out of Woodstock Academy for fighting with a teammate: Dimon Carrigan transfers to Eastern Florida State - The Boston Globe.

At that article's writing he was headed from Bunker Hill Community College to Eastern Florida State College, a JUCO. He's now at Odessa College, another JUCO.

Any "criminal activity?"

Huge pass.

Wow. UCONN fans seem to hate Syracuse. Why the hatred? I am guessing it is because they are in a better league and have a better future in the ACC but hatred usually means jealousy. I respect UCONN's National Championships and respected Calhoun but seems like things are a mess there now. At least Hurly has some passion and has gotten decent recruits but the ship seems to be sinking unless the next 3 years or so show a resurgence, which it might. As a CT native, I hope they stay relevant but don't seem to be now and now with news about the athletic program losing millions, seems ominous but not yet dire because of Hurley. And for the haters, this is not a hater comment...I just notice the vitriol toward the Orange seemingly for no reason.

Syracuse fans hate UConn too. Do you have an illogical rant to describe why they hate us?

And yet we still beat you this year.
