He favorited this:
Who said he was going to get a class full of 5 stars?
We don't need 5 stars to be good again. We need guys who stick around. Not one and dones.
Go back and look at all the posts about Lecque and a number of other highly rated kids. People were getting giddy a week or two ago.
I’m still gitty about Lecque and a number of other recruits. But no one thinks we’ll bat .1000 and get all of themGo back and look at all the posts about Lecque and a number of other highly rated kids. People were getting giddy a week or two ago.
Tough and smart, reminds me of that guy Florida had when we played them in 2014---Scottie Wilbekin
No one thought we were going to become Kentucky. If this kid commits it doesn't stop us from signing other 4* and 5* guys in '18 or beyond.Go back and look at all the posts about Lecque and a number of other highly rated kids. People were getting giddy a week or two ago.
He’s a troll. See comment aboveNo one thought we were going to become Kentucky. If this kid commits it doesn't stop us from signing other 4* and 5* guys in '18 or beyond.
Kentucky gets a bunch of 5 * every year. They struggle, get better towards the end of the season and then get knocked out of the tournament. Because at that point they are all thinking about the draft and playing for themselves to impress NBA scouts. Calapari is basically running an NBA farm team. I say the hell with these guys who have no intention of staying. If one wants to come ok, take him. But I think recruiting should be aimed at building a team. We have consistantly beat Kentucky when we were good, and did it with guys who were on paper not the level of recruits Kentucky was putting on the floor. I'll take a veteran TEAM with solid players any day over a team with rookies more concerned about themselves than anything else. Just my opinion, based on what I see every year.Giddy is the right word. Drunk with excitement. ie not reality.
If there's seven different 5* guys with interest, we might get one. That's where the excitement comes from. So everybody gets excited about all of them just because.
But classes of 5-stars we will not have.

I do. I have so much trust in Hurley I not only believe we will get all the recruits we go after, I also believe we might get some highly rated recruits we don't go after. This staff is that good. Our future is that bright!I’m still gitty about Lecque and a number of other recruits. But no one thinks we’ll bat .1000 and get all of them
How it's still up is mind bogglingThis post sucks
This kid is so hateable. We need him
you've been two-timing us? Thomas... you have a lot of splaining to doWill be doing something similar to this over on the UConn rivals site: StorrsCentral.com - UConn Men's Basketball Recruiting: 2019 Recruit Tracker
It's behind a paywall right now, but you can check the 2018 one I did for an idea of what it will look like (haven't updated this one in a while): StorrsCentral.com - UConn Men's Basketball Recruiting: 2018 Recruit Tracker
2019 will look something like this for all kids offered (the dates are linked to the tweets with the corresponding information):

If this kid went to Cuse or Duke, he'd be a top 5 all-time hated I think. White kid with swagger that mean-mugs all the time? That said if he comes here I'll love itDamn. Hateable kids only go to Cuse or Duke.
Yes. It's not an infrequent occurrence hereAre you guys taking the original poster's word, "complexion", literally? .
Well if it was meant literally Mick, there's no place for it here. I'm removing my like...never thought of it being literal. Thought we were all way beyond these thoughts, never mind remarks!Yes. It's not an infrequent occurrence here

Yes, true in general, but on this message board it's really disappointing.Assuming the worst of people should be the rule of thumb on the internet.
