2021 Recruiting: Rahsool Diggins Commits to UConn

[HooperScooper]

Rahsool Diggins called UConn head coach Dan Hurley and assistant Tom Moore on Thursday night and told them he wanted to FaceTime on Friday morning with a very important message.

Hurley and Moore probably hadn’t imagined just how early Diggins was going to call. But at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, he informed the coaches that he would be committing to UConn. Then he continued on his way to a workout.

“He’s a gym rat,” Diggins’ high school coach, John Mosco, told Hearst Connecticut Media. “He wants to get better.”

You nailed it.

And the NBA argument won't be valid much longer (Bouk).

Hurley and staff are building something really special.

Huskymania. The remix.

 

[Palatine]

Not for nothing, but that is 100% correct. The staff was already doing a good job on the recruiting trail, but once the Big East move was announced, they just took it to another level...and everybody in the business has noticed this.

To be fair, we had a nationally rated top 5 recruiting class in the AAC. We're not at that level yet. But if you want to wet yourself with joy, feel free.

Welcome Rahsool!
Thanks for picking us. You won't be disappointed.

What a great pitch to a pg

Calhoun had been a coach for about 25 years before he was recruiting at this level. Hurley is on track for a Hall of Fame career.

Well, he is able to recruit at this level because he’s at UConn. JC built UConn. Hurley is renovating the building. Not really a fair comparison.

The Athletic article says he wanted to commit a few weeks ago, but his dad made him wait. Again, doesn’t sound like Nova picked Brizzi over him, which makes this even sweeter.

Although he had been wanting to commit sooner, his father told him to wait a few weeks to make sure it wasn’t just an emotional decision. UConn kept checking in, which closed the deal, Rahsool Diggins Sr. said.

Rothstein's quote: "Huskies are recruiting like it's the mid 90's". I absolutely love that.

Where is the dislike button when you need it? Fantastic job by Hurley and staff - let’s keep 2016 out of this...we’ve turned a new page.

Ok let’s not get crazy. JC was at Northeastern then took over a UConn team who lived in the cellar of the Big East with little recruiting power. UConns name is here because of JC and Hurley’s taking full advantage of what the program is and was. Great job but not happening without JC and it wasn’t close to 25 years for him to build it.

Nonetheless this staff is getting it done, very exciting to see who’s next.

I don't think anyone said that

Oh yes they did, one of the dunces just showed his face.

Congratulations to the staff. More to come!
Chief has been preaching -trust in the grind to our beloved Casual Fans, who want the instant First Night type gratification. But, that’s not competitive basketball. Good daily habits and a mindset of focused shared goals. It’s more than a catchy slogan, it’s a way of life. It can be lots of fun too! .

Thanks, Chief.

To be fair you cherry picked the one class that didn’t completely suck during our AAC time. Every (not most...EVERY) recruit has mentioned the Big East being an enormous factor. That’s factual and can’t be be spun by any chicken who can’t admit they were wrong and wants to die on the embarrassing AAC vs Big East hill.

Anyway welcome Mr Diggins. We are fortunate to be back in a situation where we can actually recruit and land guys if your caliber.

You keep saying that, but...

Getting is kid from Philly is rare but a kid from Philly who went to a Catholic HS
away from Nova is amazing .
Great teams start with great guards

 

[StllH8L8ner]

But the Big East wasn’t going to help recruitment!

Well I mean our new guys won't get to taste the fierce competition brought by such basketball powerhouses as ECU and Tulane but hopefully they'll find the strength to deal with it.

 

[tcf15]

Also @Palatine make up your damn mind.

December 15, 2017:

We had a top ten recruiting class in the country last year in the same conference.

Please explain.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Happy for him and his family. He made a great choice and Hurley got himself another talented piece of the puzzle.
