Fremont Waters' top 7. No UVA or Stanford, which is interesting.

This is INCREDIBLY good news for us. If Duke & UK land Green and Young (which I think they will), we have to be considered heavy favorites for Tremont.
 
Honestly I can't believe providence wasn't all over this kid, not even in the top 7.
 
I remember when one of the 247 guys, believe it was meyer, said stanford was going to be tough to beat because tremont is a good student and wants a challenging academic experience. This was before duke offered him, but stanford has not been heard from since they offered.
 
Coaching change likely did not help Stanford. Haase could end up being a good coach for them but that switch has to make Palo Alto look less enticing. Gtown and Indiana are interesting since I have not heard them linked to him all that much. Nice to see he gave the nod to his hometown school, Yale.

I'm tempering my expectation here. Trae Young was supposed to be a package with porter and i don't see any way he doesnt play for his step father or father at UW. I know these things fizzle out all the time, but those two have been playing together for awhile so the bond seems tight. Waters may be option C for duke or UK but I think this is the scenario that takes him out of consideration for us.
 
Is it just me or is the 2017 class coming together much slower than the 2016 one. I remember last year on Independence Day we got the AG commit at which point we already had Mamadou. 2017 hasn't had a commit yet well into mid summer, granted about 90% of the top 100 still seems in-committed.

We also have a big class for 2016. I wouldn't expect us to pull in five recruits for '17.

Exactly. I think we ultimately pick up 3 recruits in 17, possibly 4. As I've said we need 2 of MAL, Waters, Beatty, and Diallo. Then we also need a big man.

One thing I'll never forget is when AJ Price said Waters was the best player he ever played against in the Pro AM last year. That's quite a statement and Waters was only 16/17 when he said that.

I would temper expectations of course always with recruiting. However I doubt Trae Young picks UW over Duke or Kentucky. Those two schools end up getting Green and Young. I agree Porter goes to UW. I'm sure they didn't hire the relative because he was the most qualified person in D1 basketball. Package deals fizzle out much more often than they actually work it seems like.

Speaking of guards what is the story with Trevon Duval? He is a 5* who holds offers from a lot of major programs but none from Duke or Kentucky. I haven't seen us connected to him a lot even though we offered.

Give KO a break - adjusting to life after Bunk - he's trying and making some inroads - Bunk had a lot of sizzle that needs replacing but in different ways.

think there might be concern he could be another potential academic casualty like terrance ferguson and head overseas. Duval spent one year at API which has ties to Prime prep.

Thanks @tcf15 I just saw a tweet from one of the bloggers that UCLA may be the leader with Duval. Don't they already have like 15 guards this year and next?

Could be wrong but I believe we'll have 5 open schollies for next years team. I'd certainly prefer to use at least 4, if not all, on '17 guys.

Correct, assuming no late freshman add or reclass.

Was Bunkey also recruiting for all the other schools as well? Because the majority of top 100 recruits haven't committed anywhere yet. Or maybe the other schools just respect him so much that they're all waiting to give us some time to adjust to life after Bunkey

Bunky was so good he could recruit everyone to everywhere. He was the most interesting recruiter in the world.

What we can say is that UConn is in a Bunk funk! I hope this horrible comedy is just killing things.
