Recruits at Arizona game

[Towney007]

Good lord, did anyone get a load of the list of recruits Hurley had at the game on Sunday?

DeMarr Langford
Hassan Diarra
Kareem Reid
Trey Hall
Dyondre Domingez
Casey Simmons
Tyler Whitney-Sidney
Richard Springs
Justin Champaignie
Julie Champaignie
Jaquan Carlos
Zed Key
Adrian Griffin
Nate Tabor
Jonathan Kuminga
Moussa Cisse
Andre Corbello

Cisse, Kuminga and Griffin are all top 10 guys, aren't they?

And Hurley has been selling the rebuild--get UCONN back to it's roots--thing on the recruiting trail.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Only need a few of those to make it happen...

 

[UconnU]

I believe Adrian Griffin is the son of the Adrian Griffin who played for Seton Hall in the 90s and the brother of Aubrey Griffin(UCONN women’s commit)!

 

[HuskylnSC]

That would make his sister a UConn signee. Very cool!

Older brother is a FR at Illinois.

Correct. Goes by AJ, pretty sure. Think I remember my aau team play against him couple years ago vaguely

This is my biggest thing, tbh.

I'm sure there'll be the odd national player we should kick tires on and really go for - but there's literally zero reason to leave the area if you don't have to. Playing closer to home will be a deciding factor more often than not, just on the simple law of averages. Sure - for every ten top recruits in the region, 2-3 will just wanna get up and out just because they do. But for most, it's a real pull.

That and there are just so many ****/four-year project guys who can develop up here. If we play our cards right, we're on every major recruits list in the region almost by default.

 

[UconnU]

Yep. What makes him super interesting(besides being a top 10 player in his class) is that his father played with Coach Hurley at Seton Hall. A kid to definitely keep an eye on!

My brother and I met Trey Hall on the way into the game. Super nice, respectful kid. He said Hurley is doing all the right things and mentioned that Akok, Bouknight and Gaffney are all really good people. He said Akok will be a huge addition to the team.

 

[Storrs South]

even in a loss, the crowd certainly delivered something memorable for them. The last two times i recall XL being that loud was Cincy 2016 or maybe have to go back to SMU 2015, but it's been some time. Georgetown 2016 was also good but didn't match Sunday.

Justin Champaignie
Julie Champaignie

Does Nevada corner the market on twins? Would Julian and Justin consider playing in college together? It appears they're fans of schools other than UConn - but maybe Sunday swayed them a bit...

It was an excellent atmosphere for them to witness for sure. The U of A fans annoyed the hell out of me but seeing a program of that caliber travel such a large group of fans had to say something to the recruits.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Interesting Tabor was there somewhat randomly then he signs up for an OV?

 

[Tex-Lager93]

He and his brother led their school to a State Championship last year / over Christ the King. Pretty cool.

Providence is loaded with young talent, mostly from the region if I recall correctly. Especially the big freshman guards. Saw Makai in the back of the huddle against BC and he looked lost.
If anyone watched the NM/NMSt. game you had to believe KO has been working with NM's coach on ball movement and shot selection. Brutal loss. Jackson made some nice three's but not much else and is not shooting free throws well. Have to wonder if he's thinking "why am I here?"

Are you a Tempurpedic salesman?

I'm going to go with a Bob-o-pedic. He seems like someone who shops at Bob's Discount Furniture.

Do you have a conversion van with Airbrushed art on the sides? @JMick can hook you up.

no one really *sleeps* on a waterbed

You do realize it's like the worst bed for the other thing, right? Absolutely terrible. You want some bounce...

Windowless van with a bag of candy by the back door.
