OT- Kasongo To Oregon

[3uconn]

@Corey_Rivals513: Being told by a close source that Ray Kasongo has committed to Oregon.

 

[Matrim55]

Good - means we still have a schollie for Robinson or Colson.

 

[The Viking]

His sleazy coach must be proud.

 

[JLock819]

Happy with Lubin. Next.

 

[UConnCountry]

Thats a mistake on his part. Best of luck to him...in Europe

 

[BearJWS]

Discouraging.... Sounds like too many of these kids are listening to the wrong people & not following their instinct. Why would he be gushing over UConn & then picking Oregon. It's got to be the AAU coach getting some $$$ from Nike, to bring this kid in locally for some excitement.

Cold spell continues for recruiting.

One guy we get recently no one has ever heard of.

Kind of bizarre that he pretended UConn was the leader the morning he commits to Oregon. Not a good look, IMO.

I will never get bent out of shape over a teenager's decision, and this is certainly no exception. But I won't be rooting for him to succeed at Oregon, either.

 

[The Viking]

Maybe it's cuz I'm getting old but if ray puts up 20 in a game in his fresh year and makes ESPN highlights, I won't even remember who the hell he was.
Next.

Congrats to Oregon, ray is a terrific player. Wish we had him...

@DaveBorges: #UConn loses out on Ray Kasongo. Better news could be coming by the end of this week for Huskies.

Cassell...

 

[3rdbass]

Who here doesn't think our conference is starting to hurt on us the recruiting front. It sucks!

 

[Jaybo]

I hate him! I hate Canada! And I hope he's gets deported or he passed some Canadian high school test and red shirts a year.

 

[superjohn]

Seriously WTF is going on? He is friending Ollie on twitter yesterday, retweeting UConn stuff non stop. We have insider posters saying everything is pointing to him going to UConn, there is an article earlier today where Kasongo says he is heavily leaning towards UConn. Is Nike money being funneled to Ro Russel? There should be absolutely no reason to choose Oregon over UConn, reminds me of Purvis and many others, this will not work out for Kasongo. Feel badly for the kid but he should have listened to his heart not outside influences.

Sore loser.

 

[Fishy]

Good lord, we're getting whipped like a rented mule on the recruiting trail.

Ollie needs to hire a recruiter in the worst way - ten toes in is great but those ten toes have to be talented or this s---will go off the rails fast.

 

[Rico444]

Wouldn't be upset about this is he didn't string UConn along so much.

 

[3rdbass]

I guess this is the last time we will hear Ray Kasongo's name again as he goes into the black hole of Oregon basketball. Makes no sense!

 

[caw]

I find it interesting he hasn't tweeted anything.

 

[PAHusky]

Doesn't matter. With Rock on board Kasongo was superfluous. Time to focus on closing out with Cassell and Robinson. Next

 

[The Viking]

The sad thing is we aren't even losing these kids to monsters. PC? NC State? Oregon? VCU?

It's not even the blue bloods that are beating us.

@ReggieRankin: "I got along great with the Oregon players and coach Dana Altman. It was the best fit for me" Ray Kasongo

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

Have fun being mediocre

Cassell...

Hope this is true. Lets be honest...as awesome as it would have been to get Kasango, Cassell is the more important recruit at this point.
