2021 Recruiting: Rocket Watts rumor

[Huskyhoops25]

To Mississippi State

Watts to Mississippi State?! That’s shocking!

Is there an equivalent player we can go after? Do we have a shot at Missile Amps?

Or perhaps Warhead Ohms?

Hard pass on Amps. All speed, no power.

Watts recruitment has been odd from a few sources. Sounds like he gets real close to committing and then jumps to another school....

 

[CL82]

Or perhaps Warhead Ohms?

Mortar Volts?

This is fun! We need to go after Artillery Coulombs!

When I initially saw his name, I figured it would be a quick process and pretty out in the open. It has been as far from either as possible. Very odd and one where I’d be very interested to know the behind the scenes details.

I hear he can be a little shellfish.

He really takes charge of the team, though

Really? I didn’t know. It’s so hard to stay current with all the recruiting news.

Makes sense...... Creighton fans were tweeting last week about how they were 100% sure they were gonna land him

 

[Storrs South]

 

[husky99]

I was 95% sure a month ago from 3 sources

UConn 95%? It seemed to be that way but it also seemed maybe our staff cooled on him?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Mississippi State RAKING the transfer portal: Brooks, Jeffries, Watts, Moore...all significant players from good programs.

Yes

Starksville is such a remote dump.

Was talking with a friend about Ole Miss and Miss St campuses a few days ago while talking college baseball. There is absolutely nothing around Starksville.

Yep. Windham, Manchester, Ashford, Willington. Who could ask for more.

Hey, those towns have the same names as the towns surrounding UCo... wait, what?

Rural Connecticut and rural Mississippi are two totally different experiences.

You realize that before Calhoun proved people wrong, lots of people asked what good players want to be stuck in Storrs and wanted UConn to quit the BE. Just sayin.

He used it as a tool in some instances. Kids like Kevin Ollie moved to place safer and less stressful and violent than any they'd ever been in. Not every kid will want that, but Storrs is a quiet oasis if that's what you're looking for. I'm not sure Starksville provides quite the same thing. I've heard Oxford is nice though.

I would find this post more credible if it had been done in the third person

 

[CL82]

Or perhaps Warhead Ohms?

For what it’s worth, I would totally want to recruit a kid named Warhead Ohms.

How about wide-body Joules "The Bunker Buster" Jones !!!

 

[storrsroars]

I'm taking this in a completely different direction and focusing on Courgette Bonham from the UK.

Is this the name of a prospect? Nothing came up when I googled.

No, it's an obscure reference joke that only Dennis Miller could be proud of.

A foodie who enjoys classic rock will get it.
