Precious Achiuwa update 4/23

[UofCT]

Dam seal comment was a joke about some thinking Kofi may change plans. We may/will add to '19 class but won't be PA.

Chief's positive outlook > Zionn's negative outlook

Chief's positive outlook > Zionn's negative outlook

Think of it as an outlook based in reality

 

[KembaStepback]

I realized it was a joke, but I meant it more along the lines of Precious. I don't see any way we don't fill that last scholarship.

Speaking of reality, do you have any insight for who are targeting as a big for 19 that's realistic? Manuel?

Just admit that when we got a crystal ball a few weeks ago you got worried that your original prediction would be wrong.

Zion is pretty unflappable.

Here we go shooting the messenger because we don't like the message.

UNC fans are blowing up his Memphis post.....

 

[Huskyfan4evr]

Off the Kansas recruiting update yesterday.
“There have been many top schools involved in his recruitment, but it seems as if the frontrunners are Connecticut and Memphis. The Huskies have been the favorite for a long time, but Penny Hardaway and the Tigers have made a late push that gives them a chance to get him.
Kansas isn’t 100% out of it, but he might be the most unlikely to join the Jayhawks out of the five players on this list. “

Does this Kansas insider have any credibility?

Yep

I’m hearing the same thing I’ve heard for the past few weeks. We are NOT the favorite, but are also not out of the running. I know that’s kind of a pointless update but that’s where it seems like we’re at.

 

[johnhuskies95]

I think our only/best chance here is to have a Lance Stephenson situation where the top schools get sick of waiting on him and we're the ones left with a scholarship available.

 

[ARIDE]

he is not coming to Ct...Hurleys recruiting dictates this..trying yet people to reclass..we r out ...let it go..

I don’t think are chances are good at all, but how does trying to get a SG to reclassify signify we’re out?

I think he is going for a throw it at the wall and see what sticks approach

 

[Chief00]

Working hard to make it happen - feels like the horse rounding the track gaining momentum on the outside and passing a few horses as we near the leader

 

[Hoops91]

Unless you’re from the area, why would you take Memphis over UCONN?? Memphis is a dump..Dont give me Penny Hardaway is a master recruiter. Doesn’t make sense, if it was comes down to those 2 schools I like our chances. How many championships has Memphis won, what’s the tradition there? Now if it’s UCONN against UNC or Kansas, that’s a different story.

 

[Chief00]

The other thing I will add is Precious has a lot of familiarity with our staff and our proximity to NYC. It may not be sexy and familiarity can cut both ways, as it did with GM with PSA. However, it also wins out in the end in probably half of college decisions.

Are you hearing that there is a favorite?

I never understand the "close to home" argument. I'm sure it's split, but quite a bit of kids surely want nothing more than to get the heck out of wherever they're from

Hey Chief! When you're online there's a little green turd falling out of your underwear.

That’s why I said about 1/2 the time. I know my son wanted to go to Cali, then TX, then FL but ended up going to college in CT. So it’s a process and you have to let them work through it with only occasional guidance. There’s valid reasons for going far away or staying close to home. It’s an individual decision.
