Well having them for a visit is the correct direction to go in, right? I feel like maybe your post should have been "I HOPE we snatch up these local kids". "wish" makes it sound like the staff isn't trying to and you need to pray to your lord heyzeus to make it happen
 
Would you rather have Tyrique Jones or Mamadou Diarra? Both are CT kids (Jones now at Vermont) and would bring similar play to Storrs. From everything we've heard and read they both love UConn

EDIT: did not know Putnam boarded students. Diarra native of Queens.

Diarra is not a CT kid...I hate to use highlight video to evaluate players but I lean towards Diarra.

Video is a legit method of evaluation as long as a chair is not on the court.

Lol. This is 247's "bio" on Diarra:

"Mamadou Diarra is a 7-0, 235-pound Center (BK) from Putnam, CT."

So he's 6'8, 215 at the top of the page, 7'0, 235 at the bottom, and 6'9, 195 on DraftExpress (likely most accurate).
We need more up-to-date scouting and info on him.

We'll take the extra large version. ;^)

We lost him once, if we were even on him?!There's a ton of talent in CT and MA and surrounding areas.uconn should be the school of choice for these kids not Pitt! Bc? Hell no! Providence? God no!!!! I know I'd rather have a top 25 kid from California but uconn should be turning local talent down befor they go eles where not compete with nc state and vcu for it.

I just want the most talented kids. Doesn't matter if they're from Mars.
 
i dont follow recruiting that well but am i wrong in thinking he is on park with guys like chieck diallo? ..i heard his name a few times and am thinking he is up there in terms of rankings? ...he would be a good get in case brimah leaves after this year

He's not on par with Diallo in terms of rankings. He's an up-and-comer though.
 
makes you wonder what the hell is on the vcu campus or what kind of under the table deals they are putting forth to keep being mentioned in recruits ...has vcu ever done anything?

Agreed. They're both African big men with ties to the NY area, but Diallo is definitely way ahead of him at this point in time.
 
Whats great about this thread is the lack of diarrhea jokes.
