Wow this announcement date came out of nowhere. One could say that he was deceptively quick in doing so.

Maybe he knows he played like bum so cashing in on a D1 high major offer while he can.

Because Dan Hurley couldn't get him - now the kid is a dog - LOL - a while ago most everyone here was singing the praises
I've seen enough film to know he can play
I heard he did not shine in a few AAU tournaments but sometimes kids go through the ups and downs
If he declared UConn - he is unreal and it's Dan Hurley magic
The kid is heading P5, Rutgers, but P5
There's other fish in the pond that Dan Hurley can get and I hope/pray he gets a few nice ones - UConn needs them
This one won't be the first or last to look in another direction.

“Dan Hurley couldn’t get him.”

Yup. That was 100% exactly what happened. put the full court press on and got beat out by Rutgers. :rolleyes:

I dunno, this seems kinda tame for the BY. If we had any inclination he was coming here this thread would be at 17 pages by now and 6 of those pages would probably be about anywhere from the kid liking/retweeting stuff some weirdos tweet at him to what his nickname will be here.

I hope he chooses Northwestern, claims it's the 3rd best university for. combining academics and basketball, and sparks debate from partisans who favor Vanderbilt.

Ha. Well he couldn't get into Stanford, that's for sure.
 
Outside of the Dukes/Kentuckys/Etc Staying around home seems to be a trend with these 18/19 kids. Hopefully that trend continues as NY/NE is loaded with talent, CT alone has 3 kids in the ESPN top 100 for 2019.
 
UConnStats said:
I agree, but I’m kind of surprised at how few PGs Hurley has offered. He has only offered Kira Lewis, Anthony Harris, and Rocket Watts for 2019. Maybe Kyle Sturdivant will get an offer, but hopefully this means he’s feeling confident in his ability to land Watts or Lewis. Harris has only been decent in EYBL play.

Sounds like they're keeping tabs on Al-Amir Dawes, too.

I am looking forward to gtcam's posts after every UConn loss. :rolleyes:

It will be a pleasure vs yours and a few others after last years losses I promise.

I mean like it or not he makes a good point. When KO lost a kid he wanted he was killed, some because of his own doing I know, but still "he can't close" was the theme. I hope Danny backed off as some suspect because we should win that one if not. It would be no different than the kid who went to RU who KO and the staff wanted last year, we should not lose to Pikiell even though he's a good guy.

By no means is this kid a must get and it seems this new staff has the blanket out so let's be patient. But if they wanted him no reason to say "that's okay we'll get the next one."No reason to panic either but it's okay to ask.

KO didn’t always get criticized like that. It was after yr 4 when everything was a disaster. It was after multiple recruiting losses that the staff thought they had locked up. Dan Hurley has been on the job for a couple months and hasn’t even had the time to lose a recruit he prioritized. The comparison is dumb and doesn’t fit. Gtcam and the KO fan club are taking every chance they get to say, “but if that was KO....” and it’s getting pathetic/annoying

Not as annoying as the last 3 years I can tell you that so don't read my replies then because you annoy me with this reply.

The "KO can't close" criticism started pretty early, particularly before he landed the Durham/Jackson/Gilbert class.

I wasn’t referring to you in the annoying/pathetic group, but if the truth annoys you then there isn’t much I can do. KO earned his criticism, Dan Hurley hasn’t

It started well after 2 months on the job lmfao. The KO can’t close criticism started when KO wasn’t closing on recruit after recruit. He earned it.
 
Self-discovery: I'm generally ignorant about recruiting except for what I read here, it doesn't particularly bother me, and I'm generally content to accept things with curiosity and patience.

I'm also thankful that the coaching staff is recruiting for 2019 and beyond prior to the end of the fall signing period and the beginning of next season's games. That's their job.

By contrast, I can afford to have better things to do, including not bickering with fellow posters on 2018-19 or recruiting or displaying confidence in predictions on things that will soon enough come to pass on their own. I haven't even planted my garden yet or biked much or done beach yoga or, and the NBA season just started for me this week and I'm liking seeing how the Celtics can be quite likably good without Hayward & Irving.

Wherever Mulcahy ends up, he still kind of reminds me of Michael Cera.

At some point KO has to become a banned word here. People bickering about him ruins so many threads.

He'll be talked about a lot this year because of the comparative contrast with the new coach. You're always going to discuss how things progress or regress from one year to the next. And with a different coach, those comps are naturally heightened. It is what it is.

As far as Ollie's platitudes, that was about #43 on the list of things I was worried about, so idk there...

Besides the awesome contributors for hoops recruiting on the BY, what are the best places to read up on recruits, specifically ours?
 
Whatever. I'm not interested in dwelling on early commits. There is too much time left, too many players we can still get. If our list of recruits stinks next Spring, then it will be worth complaining about.

We've reached the point where people are complaining about the people who complained two years ago and are trying to spin it against Hurley in some odd way.

Nah, I think you've just reached the point where you don't like being reminded of your own double-standard, which is understandable.

No I'm sick of people like you being intellectually dishonest
