PF/C Juwan Durham (Signed LOI on 11/11)

[Stainmaster]

If you're just figuring this out I'm putting you at the head of the list!

I've known it for a while, but I figured this was an especially appropriate occasion to proclaim it.

 

[OkaForPrez]

I've always said, If Juwan to win a championship, you come to Uconn. Am I right?

The sirens signaling the demise of UConn basketball seem to grow more faint by the day.

 

[UConNation]

Man Alive! I popped into his recruiting thread to see where I should order pizza in CT and saw that he committed. This is absolutely friggin amazing! KO is the man!

Nice come back. We can probably sayJD is gold and we're fools gold.

 

[Stainmaster]

Perhaps we should be filling more recruiting threads with pizza discussion if this is what happens, no?

You will have years of writing young man!

 

[MilliniumPrince]

KO + Champions Center = TURN DOWN FOR WHAT!!?!?!? (no one over 45 will get that)

 

[ctchamps]

After what testiculo did for us I'm more into thinking the spotted dick was the mojo!

 

[Huskyforlife]

unbelievable! KO is the man
Quick, Jerry Meyer, change you pick back!

Some people act like he knows all, he literally changed his pick right after Durham's first tweet. It really shows those crystal ball guys usually don't have a clue either.

 

[bear]

Holy sh! t. KO so hot right now!!!!

 

[Mr. French]

Wow...I usually check the board many times thru the day just to see what's what, and it's been since yesterday...didn't expect to check it right at that moment, but glad I did...

KO is doing a great job of getting these kids to understand the appeal of a place like UConn. I feel like we've always gotten the right kids, generally, without regard to rankings, but it seems KO has been able to get "higher ranked" kids to buy into the program's virtues. It's a GREAT sign.

 

[David 76]

Great news! And I'll be happy to get home!

 

[ctchamps]

I'm not sure if statements like this will help or hurt your chances to get a roommate for Battle of Atlantis.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Holy sheet. Could care less about Gabriel anymore, love Durham and his potential. Ollie is absolutely crushing it!!!!

Exactly. Gabriel is an outstanding prospect, but they're very similar players, and going by composite, they're rated almost identically (Durham at 29, Gabriel at 31). I was really bummed to find out that wasn't happening, and this completely takes the sting off of that.

 

[UConNick]

Let's do some shots!!!!!!

Really though, unbelievable. Gabriel who?

 

[RipCity]

Jerry Meyer, ladies and gentlemen!

Huge power move by KO to get him to commit so fast. He's certainly found his stride.

 

[UConNick]

I knew something was up when he said he was cutting to 5. It meant that after seeing us, he had seen enough, and that we were near the top. Still though, a commitment is unbelievable.

 

[OkaForPrez]

I'm not sure if statements like this will help or hurt your chances to get a roommate for Battle of Atlantis.

If they are hurting me, I don't want to room with those people anyway.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

He clearly "had a great time" on his visit.

 

[Huskyforlife]

The "had a great time" could, however, indicate that he enjoyed himself. Maybe even that he had a great time. But maybe that's reading too much into it.

I'll eat crow now

 

[Silk31]

Wait what??!!!...

 

[ctchamps]

If they are hurting me, I don't want to room with those people anyway.

I'm with you on that one.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Just saw we beat Cuse out again

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Let's go!!! Guys, KO is on a tear.

No, he can't recruit. Duh.

 

[James]

unbelievable. after all the ruckus from his tweet lmao this is fantastic. thats two elite recruits in the fold for 2016.

 

[bturn]

what i like is AG plays with a similar type athlete/player (not same player) in Harry Giles. we now have a loooong and athletic team, with a leader point guard. AG, JA, Larrier, Durham/Diarra/Enoch. I mean.......

 

[I Bleed Blue]

unbelievable. after all the ruckus from his tweet lmao this is fantastic. thats two elite recruits in the fold for 2016.

And Diarra is rising

 

[tcf15]

247 updates their class rankings as commits happen. UConn has the #3 class right now.

 

[zls44]

I want it to be basketball season right now.
