Precious Speaks on Recruiting!

[StepbackCity]

CE: What schools are really involved?
PA: It has been the same schools that everyone talks about with me, really. Kansas and UConn, you know. St. John’s and UCLA, along with a few others.

 

[AllAbout5]

So I’m guessing he’s narrowed it down to Kansas, UConn, St. John’s and UCLA because he pointed them out and not others. I could be wrong though

 

[B1GEast]

I don't think he ends up here.

 

[TitleTown]

I don't think he ends up here.

Me either, he is going to end up at a blue blood like Kansas or Kentucky.

 

[UConnKev]

You’re just the worst.

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

You’re just the worst.

I think it’s funny how he speaks as if it’s already written in stone.

 

[Robertelamin]

Pretty sure he was the guy that said the Red Sox were done in the World Series or was that someone else @nomar ?

 

[TitleTown]

You’re just the worst.

I'm the worst because I have a differing opinion? Thought this was a forum for discussing differing opinions?

 

[TitleTown]

I think it’s funny how he speaks as if it’s already written in stone.

Would it make you feel better if I wrote "I think"? Obviously, "I think" that way, I am the one that wrote it! Also, I guess the phrase "ends up" that I used was lost on you as well?

I have confidence that Hurley will do a great job of selling our Blueblood pedigree of the not so distant pass as well as Precious being one of a select group to bring UCONN back to prior elite status.

If we land Kofi w/current commits plus AG still dishing UConn could look pretty attractive to him.

It already does

It seems like you think forums are for being an optimistically blind homer.

I’m really not at all, feel free to go through my posts.

We’ve been a leader for Precious the entire year. You consider us out just because you’re afraid he won’t come here. And you do this in every recruiting thread. That’s soft as hell.

Just like Hami right? I think he won't come here because he is a 1 and done that wants to have as many eyes as possible on him, in the biggest games as possible. I hate coaches like the Squid as much as the next guy, but he creates a ton of buzz and exposure for his players. His track record can not be debated and I think that will be most appealing to Precious.

 

[KembaStepback]

It's great to be in the conversation. I hope we can land him. That'd be incredible.

My only issue with this assumption is that you don't know the kid. Maybe he wants to be a 1 and done, but maybe he thinks Hurley can really get the most out of him. You just don't know. No one does.

Wow you pick the biggest letdown in recent history and act like it’s the norm? You’re basically proving my point there, but anyway...

How about a couple weeks ago when you said us scouting Karim Coulibaly meant we were missing on all of of frontcourt targets? We got Akok a couple weeks later and it looks like one of KC/Wahab/Mitchell will end up here too. We never even offered Coulibaly and you threw in the towel right then and there.

Why TF would I have said that?

 

[goskis2018]

For those who have a better feel for how good these high school kids actually are would Precious Achiuwa walk in to our team next year as our best player, best defender, all conference player or just a sure fire starter?

 

[Mano]

The interview offered Precious little new information.

 

[Robertelamin]

Why TF would I have said that?

No I meant him, not you. You got on his case about it.

 

[AntG168]

Nothing he said in that interview should have worried us. Imo it’s us v Kansas. Now let’s rumble. Go get him Danny!!

Kentucky isn't even heavily recruiting him. What are you talking about???

I think you're supposed to say "Hope I'm wrong but . . . " That's how the pros do it. Although I think Tennspro has abandoned it.
