Precious Achiuwa Visiting

[UconnU]

When these players come here on unofficials can they play pickup with the team? I remember Drummond playing some pick up ball with the team when he visited.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Idk about the team, but he may be able to shoot some with a Kevin Ollie now

Terrance Clark has played a ton of pickup with the team.

New article about Precious today on 247, but it’s VIP.

Anyone have access?

Interview is with Achiuwa's mentor/coach. Says Achiuwa is just starting to focus on recruiting and since he wasn't really interested in it beforehand, some schools might not have pursued him as much. Says that he is wide open right now and starting to get interest from UCLA, UNC, Florida and Florida State. Probably looking at more visits after July live period and a decision in the fall.

On the UConn visit: “It was really good. They have a tremendous staff. You can tell they have a plan. They aren’t just talking about things, they laid out their plan of what they are trying to do.”

Agreed. Long way to go. Hopefully we keep our foot on the gas.

He probably just wants to visit mutiple schools like every recruit.

idk i think he's considered a booster because he's donating $10million to the university.

 

[Wordbomar]

I didn’t want to watch it cause I didn’t want to get my hopes up if I don’t know too much of what I’m missing out on.

I watched it. And now I want him damnit.

"Trying to do"

That part I don't like. Could mean "when they pull it together in a few years I might have committed".

Won't be that much. #settlealready

I think you are reading to much into it

 

[Ewekon]

I hope so. What the last couple years have done I guess.

 

[Zionn]

We were never going to get a commitment off this visit. Still firmly in lead.

 

[Purple Stein]

Mentally preparing myself to be Hamidou'd

Hamidou got Hamidou'd in the draft!

I love you

 

[TitleTown]

Don't expect commitment is imminent w/. this particular trip, but very good sign. Very much in driver's seat on this one.

Riiiiiiggggghhhhhhhhhhttttt.

His SF and perimeter skills are reallyimproving. A year ago he was a 4. Now I'd call him a 3/4. Still not a great, great handle or anything, and his shot sucks, but it's improving vrry quickly. Can't wait to see what he looks like in another year at UConn

Whenever I hear a kid say "I'm just waiting to see if I hear from or get an offer from (school A)" I now think he either wants a higher profile offer so he can build his self esteem higher than it is currently or he has no self esteem so he needs affirmation.
Remember Ray Allen's comment about visiting Kentucky and being taken to Pitino's restaurant where there was a banner welcoming him strung across the entry (or inside)? He said it turned him off because it seemed patronizing. That's the type player we want, but maybe in this day and age they don't exist.

While he was here, knucklehead. Usually pleanty of color commentary on 'ooh-ahh' over aluns / NCs / etc, not to mention ice cream bar and the cows, etc perceptions. Or did he fly under the BY radar?
