Big shout out to Zags. Repping UCONN hard on the blog. Recruits in the tri-state area taking notice.

Hurley clearly thinks we have a solid chance at Precious and is dedicating a ton of resources to pursue him. Hopefully we come out on the right side of this one. Polley and Wilson have shown to be a long way off from starter quality on a good team and Precious would fill that gap immediately.

I know Zionn nexted him, so he must have heard something from someone but the way Hurley and co. continue to recruit Achiuwa is the way you eventually get a commitment. Some kids it won't matter with and some kids it matters a ton to.

Montverde against Oak Hill on ESPNU right now

Kofi is #31?

Kofi is #31?

yup

 

[Robertelamin]

yup

I knew he was big but I didn’t think he was that big.

man amongst boys

This isn’t sour grapes, as I do think Cockburn is a talented player, but he is incredibly stationary. I know he will get into better shape- and his height alone will always be a disruption on defense- but he’s getting outreboundwd by guards in this game. Precious is a dynamic player.

Caught a few minutes of the game.. WOW is all I can say about Precious. Kid is unreal. Runs the floor so well, super athletic. I could see him thriving at the free throw line against the zone and then just running the court so well in hurleys up tempo fast break. Impressed.

Cade Cunningham has been very impressive in this game. Class of 2020

Good lord, Kofi looks awful. He has the mobility of a turtle.

 

[Jaybo]

this one is going to hurt.

He looks like he should be on one of the mid 2000’s Pitt teams.

Why do I feel like the truth will end up being somewhere in the middle?

He was saying this ones going to hurt when(if) Achiuwa commits else where.

Man, Precious is a very good player who can handle the ball, shoot and plays defense. He can be excellent at the next level.

Kofi is a nice player but is a little to heavy and needs to lose about 20 pounds or so

 

[Zionn]

Don’t get too excited despite effort - still fighting uphill battle.

 

[blackuc]

Kimani was at the game. Staff is working hard

if there is a fight to be had, then there is a battle to be won

 

[gtcam]

He may just go pro but it may come to Memphis, St Johns and UConn

 

[Zionn]

UNC interest/spotlight a real factor


Yes - a chance but still give low %

Trust me when Is say I hope I’m wrong and will post if tide turns

I don’t think anyone thought this would be easy. It has just been clear that UConn is in the hunt and has been the whole time.

This was never a “next”... he may still end up at UNC but Hurley and Co are not recruiting him hard for giggles. They believe they have a solid chance to land him.
