PF Tyler Polley (UConn Offer)

[UConnSwag11]

well, like many hs players, his game is not yet totally developed and physically he probably has some muscle to add.

like the majority of 17-18 year old kids coming out of high school?

yes. that's basically what i said. "like many hs players."

Polley as stated by James is the game of a 3 playing a 4. For Polley we are 5-0 in 'Crystal Ball' picks since Aug. (no picks for other schools since 2015). We also have 1 on the 12th when we and Pitt visited him that could have come from feedback from his camp then. Could we think we have a good enough shot at Wilkes to hold a Polley commitment off until Wilkes' official visit Nov 3? Is there really a tactful way to do that? How do you recruit a kid like Polley hard as your second choice? I can't wrap my head around a kid wanting to be your second choice. On an 'impact' basis Kris Wilkes would project as the better recruit, but, Polley is an excellent player in his own right that I for one would e thrilled with. Bird in the hand or roll the dice?

Was there a subliminal thought that went with this recruits name and your last statement?

They should want a couple elite players, even 1-n-done to make a 2017 FF/NC run. Polley seems like the same as Vance Jackson.

Would like Bamba and Diallo obviously like everyone else.

In my mind DJ Harvey and Diallo can both be big 2G (their pro positions), or play the 3G/Wing/SF in college, and Polley as stated by James is the game of a 3 playing a 4. I don't see a Polley commitment as having any bearing on Diallo/Harvey as far as being overlapping players. On the other hand, it would seem to be a total overlap to Kris Wilkes. Having a solid possibility with a top player like Wilkes in the near future, when a lesser player at the same position, like Polley, is ready to commit to you now, is a part of recruiting that I wish I had more insight into. For Polley we are 5-0 in 'Crystal Ball' picks since Aug. (no picks for other schools since 2015). We have 3 picks in the last week and 1 yesterday after the TN visit (if it happened as scheduled). We also have 1 on the 12th when we and Pitt visited him that could have come from feedback from his camp then.

Saw this one coming. Lock up Hami and we're good.

Ollie has it going again now. If we can top it off with Bamba or Diallo it would be another incredible class.

 

[MadisonSquare Gordon]

Great news. When can we help him with his hashtags (e.g., #huskeynation)?

 

[Yankees32123]

Gimme Diallo & Bamba and #5 on the side.

 

[JSM1970]

I hope this means they can focus on key 2017 players Diallo & Bamba, I think Polley and Carlton will take time.

Great news. When can we help him with his hashtags (e.g., #huskeynation)?

He reminds me of Obi Enechionyia of Temple too just looking at the video.
