Living here in Louisville and listening to the local ppl talk IU and possibley uk because of there depth at pg and of corse ricks son are most likely landing spots for him. And as someone who's had the chance to watch him at Ballard an are nightly news highlights I can see this kid being a 5 star recruit by time it's said and done. I just hope uconn get a vist.

It will be interesting to see the dominoes fall among the PGs in this class:


Joseph: SU, PC, WVU

Perkins: UConn, UK, Gonzaga, UCLA, Minnesota

McLaughlin: USC, UCLA, San Diego State , Indiana, Gonzaga, UConn, Kansas and UNLV

Mudiay: Arizona, Baylor, Kentucky, N.C. State, SMU, Kansas, Louisville, Oklahoma State, St. John’s and Texas.

Jones: Baylor, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Ohio State

Newton: Syracuse, UCLA, Minnesota, Miami, Texas A&M and Oregon

Snider: ???
Ulis:???
Zabo:???
Exum:???

“Right now I’m looking at point guard schools,” he added. “I like UConn’s history and background of point guards. I like IU a lot. Tom Crean’s a good coach.”

"I really don't know yet when I'll commit," Snider said. "I'm just looking at my options. UCONN wants me to visit in September, and Indiana is setting up a visit in August before school starts."

Surprised Indiana is not on this list.

not gonna pretend to be a scout or a recruiting guru, and highlight videos aren't the true judge of talent, but I went thru about 5 vids now that he's on our radar and his game just looks ordinary. in the words of Cam'ron, he's got a basic game. with guys ranked where he is you expect more to jump out at you on tape.

Thought the same. He's not terribly athletic but seems to have a pretty mature game.

I watched a bunch of videos and do agree that when watching him he doesn't scream future NBA player. However, he has a really good overall game. What stood out to me was his ball handling. Didn't ever seem out of control. He also shot the ball very well and could finish around the rim with both hands. Also, I never saw a dunk in any of his videos.

Sounds a lot like Shabazz

Here he talks about his recruitment and planning visits:

Hopefully if he goes to USC or UCLA then they'll be out of the running for Perkins and McLaughlin

More of the opposite. There's like a 1% chance that Snider commits before Perkins and possibly McLaughlin. So if on wig them commit to UCLA or USC it will most likely put UConn in a better spot with Snider.

I'm good with no dunks.......I like basketball players and he looks like one........solid at everything he supposed to be as a PG!! Would welcome him with open arms if he were first to commit

I'll be fine with any of the 3 haha

Anyone know who we are most likely to get of these three (if any)? Or is it still completely in the air?

I'd bet it's a long shot on any of them really. But that's just me.

One of them.........know more in 20 minutes!

I doubt we get any of them to be honest. I think it will take a couple of years for high level recruits to see how the new conference plays out before they pledge UCONN{exception Hamilton} despite the recruiting of KO.

8 posts and this one is so positive!! ....nice

It's encouraging that USC and UCLA are still recruiting point guards. Maybe there's a glimmer of hope that we steal one of the west coast kids.

I don't understand the pessimism, we're most likely gonna get an official visit from all 3 guys, who are all considering very similar schools, so I like to think that it is likely that we get at least 1.

I can sum up the pessimism for you with 3 letters my friend, AAC.

During KOs first year recruiting in the AAC he has pulled in 2 5 star recruits and it's not even mid August yet, there is no evidence that the AAC will be detrimental to recruiting.
