[superjohn]

Great news. Does anyone know what other recruits we are involved with for this class? Another big would be nice.

 

[scrappy2.0]

All in all Nolan Evans and Calhoun is a good class IMHO. Love athletic lefty big guys. Hes going to get some nice PT.

considering no post season, scholly reductions, and "will he or won't he be back" comments, i'd say i agree 100%.

i'm going to check 2night and see if i can find anything. i will post if i find anything. hopefully chev or burns or 1 of those guys that follows the bball side more has something. 1 more guy(big guy) would be perfect. it would give us enough to be .500 or better next year. it would also leave 2 ships untouched. plus the ncaa is in year 3 of 3 so next year we would have those 3 plus evans. so we can have a class of 4 with kuran being 1 of the focus kids. i think dukes would be a good idea as well as a 3rd guard. it gives him time to develope and its jsut quality local depth as oposed to some 1 that will leave after 2 years to go close to home for pt, austire type i see in dukes. then find 2 more guys and were rolling....

I say save the scholarship, unless we get Opbeka i don't think there is anything else left in this class. Save one for a stud down the road.

Maybe ol' Jimmy knows what he's doing guys. Maybe he knows better than the rest of us.

If I had to bet on Jimmy or the Boneyard, I'm with Jimmy.

that's funny - i just hope he gets the kid to play at a high enough level to contribute next year so we can win a few games...

I aim high

did I mention maybe a few other people could watch him play in the NBA and wonder what if?

 

[johnhuskies95]

Dukes is the best player on CBC and he's starting to get some high major offers. He's only about 5-11 and not very athletic but he's super skilled and a smart kid.

I hope we offer him.

Per Dave Telep,

UConn's not done. Still looking for maybe a combo forward. Philip Nolan committed today and that's an excellent hit for May 3.

I don't know beans about Nolan other than he is one Hilton-unit tall, is ranked like Hilton and he even looks like Hilton.

If he plays like Hilton, we are happy.

Any kid committing now ranks in the most popular ever. He sees the opportunity for sure.

good looks didn't see it, but i figured some 1 had to put it up so i just dropped it here.

What a poorly written article. How can a reporter editorialize like that when he didn't even know who the kid was a few hours ago?

Also, the 5 high schools in 4 years thing is stupid. It's really 3 high schools in 4 years. Just because he said he was going somewhere doesn't mean he actually attended the school.

 

[Dann]

botto line is that he had issues and for us to be ok with that and take him with our current situation means that hes cleared to play this fall by the ncaa.

Him and his teammate Smith both seem interesting. Not to hijack this thread.

"The Huskies are desperate for front court help after three key members of post duo — Alex Oriakhi (transfer to Missouri), Andre Drummond (NBA Draft), Michael Bradley (transfer to Western Kentucky) and Roscoe Smith (released from scholarship) have bolted the team after last year's first-round NCAA loss."

Trying to decipher what the beginning of the sentence means. After three key members of post due. Am I just completely misreading this or does it not make sense? Especially when he goes on to list 4 players.

Kid is the next Patrick Ewing.
