March 2019, Precious Achiuwa adds MARYLAND to his Top 6!

Maryland is having issues with football overall and not sure how that will affect basketball, but I wouldn't worry about Maryland, for now.

Man is this true? Is the NCAA this big of a joke? If this happens, can't Hurley, Uconn, do anything? I am not as well informed about this as many of you are.I always figured the whole thing was corrupt, but what I am learning on the boneyard is just making me realize what a crap show this all is. Paying guys, going behind the back of programs that have signed someone. Unbelieveable.

Well I don’t think it becomes “tampering” until the kid enrolls at the school and starts attending classes. A Letter of Intent never really held any power; kids were just more committal last generation.

Under Armour money conquers all.

It was an honor code thing back in the day. Ain't no honor anymore either.
 
at this time, one has very little to do with the other.
UM has Under Armor and P5 exposure - that alone is worth a worry

I'm not going to underestimate Capel. He will get very good recruits to Pitt sooner or later, IMHO.

Pretty good read on what he's already done here.
Expand ...
Capel is a recruiting machine and will go toe to toe with the Squid, K, Self and all the heavy hitters
Dan Hurley may develop into that level of recruiter but he is not in their league by a long shot presently
Capel was a GREAT pick by Pitt to get top players to that program
Now game management is another story......................

Package deals almost never actually materialize but if there were a year for it to happen this would be a good year with 5 open scholarships

No package deals yes, however one intial signee can sometimes cause the dominoes to fall in the same direction if the recruiting coach knows how to capitalize on that. I hope Hurley is getting some pointers from Geno. The dominoes fell a couple times for the UConn women, particularly in 1997 when he signed Sue Bird, Tamika Williams (NPOY), Swin Cash (broke Pat Summit's heart), and Ashja Jones, can't remember for sure who he signed first though. I think it was Sue or Swin. Maybe someone on the Boneyard remembers.

Depends how much money is made available Caple is a well known pay-for-play guy. It's not his winning personality that's getting it done

wasn't there a "K" in that class as well? Known as the TASK force (with two Ss)
The K ended up not graduating with the others and was less prolific.

Had to stop playing, knee issues as I recall.

I’m not saying it wouldn’t be ideal, I’m just saying that this is clearly Chief just blowing smoke out of his ass. There’s not going to be a package deal in our class unless it’s Achiuwa and Quinones which looks totally unlikely. Nobody else we’ve offered has been considered a package by anyone.

If they're concentric rings of white smoke, Chief may be onto something.

Last two years as a head coach he was 13-18 and 14-18, so he was on the uptick.
 
This is good for him. He wants to be a 1 and done. Not many better places for that kind of exposure especially as the team's biggest star.
 
All the staff can do is keep stressing that he is a top priority by making all efforts to go see him. Looks like it’s gonna be a battle, but it’s great to know we are gonna be in the thick of it.
