Look forward to many updates in the coming weeks as reporters have much more access to players now and leaders and cut lists will emerge.

3uconn, who do you think we have a real shot with from that list...

thanks for the recruiting work

I think we got a shot with all but Terrell. Think we have moved on from him but I could be wrong.

I would say what Burnsbros23 said. I think the Purvis transfer could seriously hurt our chances with Terrell if Purvis can't become a true PG. That may hurt us with Malik-Abu if they are serious about being a package. For 2015 and 2016 it's still way to early to tell what will really happen.

I was just going to post this. It was all after Jerry Meyer saying that Daniel Hamilton isn't saying that he will definitely attend school at UTEP with his brother. Now much more open.

Smart decision on his part.

Interesting no 4s or 5s on the list. Is the staff feeling pretty confident with Nolan, Facey and Brimah?

Malik Abu is a PF, I think this is just what has transpired within the past week. They're still after Black, Gant(both 4s) and Chukwu(5).

Chukwu, Gant, Abu, Black and Diagne all play at the 4 or 5. I'm sure there are more.

I'd say the coaching staff is confident with those 3. Nolan and Facey have the athletic skills to be good, they just need to add a little bulk. Brimah appears to be more of a project.
I think that Uconn's priority should be to sign an elite PG. Samuel may end up being very good but there is a reason that he only recently cracked the top 100.

The good news is Kevin Ollie just snuck in the top 100 his senior year and he couldn't shoot when he got there either - so he knows what it's like!!.....don't count this young man out!!
