Qudus Wahab Top 5

[WrenchFan69]

I was going to ask before you posted this, what's the likelihood that Bouknight and Gaffney will be on campus for Akok and Wahab?

I'd bet Bouknight will be at first night at least. Pretty short drive from MacDuffie

No worries, i'll be there. I. Am. The. Closer

I will answer this in a preemptive way. The fact that there will be recruiting stuff going on - can’t Chief go to First Night and report on what’s up?
The answer is NO. This is the night for the Casual Fan, kids and students who have never played the game. It’s their night and Chief gets out of the way.

Maybe someone with some inside knowledge can shed some light on this-
So sounds like Akok to UConn is possibly nearing reality.

1. What are the odds Akok and/or Wahab commits after their OV?
2. If Wahab commits, does that mean Kofi is not happening? Or would the staff still go after Kofi if Wahab commits?

My gut would be first one they can get (at the center position) is the only one they get because we are a little short at the wing/SF position for 2019.

Or is this just irrelevant because Wahab is still Pitt's to lose? It feels like we would absolutely have a shot at him given our recent recruiting pulls and the fact he will be visiting on First Night with Akok.

To answer question 1, Hurley’s close ratio is 100% as UCMBB coach (5/5). I would the odds here are pretty good!

Technically he is 5/6. Wong did not commit.

May be more to that story than meets the eye.

I think I am higher on Wahab than others, and the fact that he will more than likely commit before the start of the season is big for UConn. The coaches are looking to fill 4 of the 5 spots before the season, and then go big game hunting for Precious. They do not want to have to wait on multiple recruits as question marks because the season could be a struggle, and that can be tough to sell, and other blue bloods can come into play when they miss on targets.

Akok Akok and Wahab are both extremely loyal kids and when they commit, its over. I think originally Kofi was the plan A, but him moving to Oak Hill, and taking his time, the staff has focused in on Wahab more.

Don't think there is. Once Gaffney committed, that made our need for a PG recruit go way down, and Wong's interest in our program do the same since he would have another talented freshman to be fighting with for minutes.

You're right. 83% till pretty good!

It’s the Same as Barney Stinson’s

Basically, Chief means he's a man of enormous stature and by staying away he opens up several seats for the Casual Fans.

This is going to be a huge weekend - First Night optics aside.

I love First Night. And you said First Night is for people who have never played the game.
So I'd like to see how much you have played the game.

LOL - I did ok but have hung them up. I don’t think you would have wanted to play me in my day. It probably wouldn’t be s good idea from your perspective.

I would have taken my chances with this pretender. It’s unlikely that it would have been even remotely close.

Millions better than Chief? Unlikely.
