UConn has finally started to recruit Achiuwa. We have a crystal ball pick already thanks to coach Kimani. 5* SF from St Benedict’s playing for New Heights.
In general, I wouldn't want to recruit one and done players, but Achiuwa could be one of those go-to guys in '19 that helps return this team to dominance.
Precious, Wilson and Polley make up a talented group of 6'7 wings.
Dan's a man with a plan. Feels like he's working off his "build a program" checklist.Damn, Dan Hurley is a busy man. Love it!

1) Assess strengths and weakness and pick out narrative that promotes program.
2) Promote that narrative in media.
3) Choose targeted recruited area.
4) Assemble quality coaching staff with connections in targeted recruiting area.
5) Assess strengths and weaknesses of existing players and recruits particularly as they fit into preferred vision for team and program.
6) Recruit existing players and existing commits that fit plan, if any.
7) Assess available 2018 talent pool and recruit to fill immediate holes. Where no four year player is available, plug holes with grad transfers.
8) Start building desired team with 2019 player.
The guy is just checking these off one after another.

Hurley can recruit all the 1 and dones he wants if he thinks we can get one or two of them. It's not like we are ever going to turn into Duke or Kentucky where we are going to be able to start four 1 and dones. If we are lucky, we can maybe get one every once in a while, which does far more good than harm.In general, I wouldn't want to recruit one and done players, but Achiuwa could be one of those go-to guys in '19 that helps return this team to dominance.

Yeah I think this is correct. If we get a one-and-done every four years or so I'd be pretty happy with that as it'd restock our NBA ranks and almost certainly help the on-court product here.Hurley can recruit all the 1 and dones he wants if he thinks we can get one or two of them.

Watching New Heights this season will be fun, we're essentially recruiting their entire starting lineup.

Nope we haven’t actually had contact with him to our knowledge. Today was the first time we’ve been linked to Achiuwa too.We haven’t been linked to him? There was all sorts of speculation on this site once Young got hired.
