Precious Achiuwa generic update

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Well you know how expensive Kofi is these days.

Kraft Kofi?

 

[auror]

Just curious, who has Chief been wrong on?

A couple of surprises in store today.

In the Kofi thread. Which you later tried to spin into predicting a Wilson suspension which happened 2 days later and changed it to "1 good, 1 bad" surprise. But still never came through on the good part.

UCLA board saying that the Precious camp reached out to UCLA after Mick was hired. They expect him to take one of his remaining OV's there.

I too would like a vacation in Los Angeles.

 

[rayrayfor3]

the way this recruitment has been precious to UCLA makes so much sense because it makes absolutely zero sense

 

[Austin316]

Welp... time to hit the ole dusty trail.

River flooding warning in Glastonbury, Rocky Hill, Cromwell, Portland and Wethersfield today...

Precious is taking an official to Memphis on Monday.

If we don't get an official in the next couple weeks, I would say time for the good guys to wave the white flag.

Not what you wanna see

Not what you wanna see

Would that be his fifth and final OV?

 

[kansashusky]

Would that be his fifth and final OV?

Kansas, North Carolina, and now Memphis. I believe its just his third.

 

[tcf15]

Would that be his fifth and final OV?

3rd

 

[campcalhoun2009]

Would that be his fifth and final OV?

Only Third by my count (UNC, Kansas earlier)

With this visit, and whispers coming out that he's most likely going to OV to UCLA (unless he commits today/soon after this Memphis visit). That really only leaves one to grab for the good guys.

 

[KingAG]

I guess the positive of this news is he would consider playing in the AAC

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Oh I’m gonna puke

 

[Exit 4]

3rd

I was thinking UCLA (rumored) was already number 4. Okay - so that leaves room for UCLA and UConn to round it out.

 

[navery12]

Half this board seems to want him at Memphis as much as UConn. So good news I guess?

 

[lange10]

Visits UConn for his 5th OV in May and commits days after. Confir_ed

 

[Son of Robert]

He's saving that last one for us, just looking at his options, knows our coaching staff, gonna come in with #5 and commit.

That's probably a Top 5 class, really would make us contenders.

Amen dogs.

Rather be the last visit... still worried though.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Hopefully he has a date with the staff already. Might want us to be last because of familiarity?

 

[CL82]

Doomed.

 

[UConn Dan]

April showers bring UConn confirmed in May Achiuwas

It's just odd we haven't heard anything since Ntwambe visit with only 1 scholarship left to fill. Makes me wonder if the staff knows something about PA.

 

[cap10dingus]

The longer Precious takes to tell us no the worse off we are if we are holding our breath for him. IMO go see him in person explain to him for the millionth time why we want him, why he's a good fit, and what we bring to the table for him. Then ask him to schedule an official visit. If he says no or he's not ready, stop trying......it's really that simple. At this stage in the game after all the time and effort we've put in it's a yes or a no. We might not be NC and Duke but we deserve respect as a top tier institution and if those are our expectations we should demand it from everyone around the program. Coffee is for closers Mr. Hurley! Don't let Precious torpedo our last scholarship! At the end of the day this kid is at best a 2 year player, we land one of our B options that is here for 4 years the impact could be greater, as much as I want him.
