Recruits 2024

[ARIDE]

Can someone give me a recruiting update for 2024? Do we any other recruits in the mix? Seems very quiet.

 

[bendm]

nope. transfer portal or bust.

 

[NCHuskie919]

I wad hoping we'd still be in for Billy Richmond, but I'm thinking at this point it's portal or bust.

Fwiw, I wasn't impressed with his game.

According to Trilly we have big NIL money for portal

 

[Palatine]

I'm thinking we are going to need a number 5.

 

[krinklecut]

We’re all in on Joson Sanon, who is a likely 2024 reclass.

I don’t know anything about that but if we got Cam Spencer I imagine our budget is pretty good

Well we probably saved a lot when we took Cam and dropped out of the Timberlake bidding.

Probably increased our chances of a repeat as well. What a bargain.

I hope the coaches are looking at koby brea, plays for Dayton. 6-6 junior guard, leads nation with 53% from 3. Shoots 6 three per game making 3+. Was A10 6th man as a freshmen, has shot over 40% from 3 in his first two years. From NY. If he hits the portal this year I hope we are on him. Could be a great replacement for Cam.

Every single school in the country will be on him... they probably ARE on him, because that's just how it goes these days. If he shows and inkling of interest in UConn, our entire staff will have a flight booked by the next commercial break.

Named Kobe(y) and from NY = UConn to lose if he is portalling.

Ahmad Nowell scores 39 of his team's 58 in a close win

 

[donyell34]

Any info on Abraham?

 

[NJHoops]

Any info on Abraham?

He’s playing well, filling his role on an absolutely loaded team, one of the best in the country. His cousin is out after having foot surgery.

My god. One man team

I'm going to post my thoughts soon because I've watched 5 or so of his games.

But do you know if the staff is at all worried about his role on offense? He's clearly got a ln Andre-esque ceiling on defense, but lacks really any high-major offensive skillset right now.

I think he touches the ball once, maybe twice in this entire, extended highlight..

His teammates really look off him on offense because they know he isn't a threat to score. He's a junkyard dog out there, but without handles and passing like Andre, I could see it being tough for him to earn PT for a bit. Can't have non-factors on one end on a championship contender.

I think he is a poor man’s Nick Timberlake. Could be a good off the bench player

Haven't watched the game yet, but Bethea is a top-10 player in the class. Might be the best player Imhotep faces all season. Been saying it since April and I'm gonna say it now again: Ahmad is severely underrated.

Bethea had 19 in a loss. Ahmad with 34 in the win, in the biggest game of the year. Pretty obvious we got the right guy IMO.

Ahmad reminds me of Earl Kelley.

Imagine if he were actually that good? I hope.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Seems like he will rise up the rankings and be in the conversation for the McD's AA game. He looks that good.

Don't be so sure that he wont be clearly better than Kelley. Also, we've likely had quite a few who were better than Kelley over the past 35 years or so.

He is that good, we need to recruit some talent around him beyond the freshman
