2021 Recruiting: Samson Johnson to UConn

[Chef Adrien]

This is great news, but we do not want another scholarship to open for 2021-2022. In a perfect world, we make a national title run with a core around a junior year Bouknight - who then departs for a top 5 NBA Draft selection. Let Clingan stay in his current class.

 

[Palatine]

Very nice. That puts a bow on the class.

6-10 with a 7-5/7-6 wingspan.

He shot 67 percent from the field, scoring often on dunks and in the paint, while shooting 37 percent (13-of-35) from deep.

In a perfect year, Bouknight lights the world on fire enough in 20-21 that it would be stupid for him not to leave.

Welcome to UConn young man.

Samson, we are Delilahed to have you on board.

Really?

 

[Mr. French]

I'm just wondering if Hurley can recruit at this level ...

Apparently not. SU fans are unimpressed and very not mad about our currently #4 ranked haul.

 

[Watchdog]

Welcome Samson. You're joining a great class at a great program and everyone, and I mean everyone, is really excited.
And, you did an excellent job on your announcement posting, especially your thanks to your parents and the others who have helped your growth as a person and player. Your parents must be really proud of you.

 

[Watchdog]

Nice to see that all three assistants had a hand in recruiting this class.................imagine if we had four!

Delilah cut Samson's hair stealing his strength. We don't want that here. No thank you.

They’re having a bad day, cut them some slack. They just lost out to Penn State for their 183 ranked center target

 

[Pudge]

Wow didn’t know he was from Togo. Must be the first player we’ve ever had from there, no?

did you say Toga?

think Jimmer Fredette learned to play basketball there

 

[Matrim55]

better take it easy @Matrim55 that is about to be BY brown noise

Not when I do it.

Those who know, know.

 

[Watchdog]

The poop dam has broken

Now the cleanup..............

 

[Watchdog]

Pretty sure Olander is originally from there.

Does that mean two more championships while he's here?

Time to update the assistants' hauls:

Tom - Jackson, Diggins, Akok
Kimani - Sanogo, Bouknight, Gaffney, Springs, Johnson
Kenya - Hawkins, Javonte Brown Ferguson

All 3 of the staff members were primary on a 2021 top 100 recruit. Incredible.

[Umami Zen]

A side benefit of successfully recruiting Sanogo/Samson is solidifying a meaningful relationship with Coach Chavannes.. Great building block for future classes of recruits in Storrs.

Honest question...how long can we realistically expect this staff to stay intact? With the success they’ve had recruiting I’m sure there will be head coaching options thrown their way in the not too distant future, right?

Who knows, but Kimani is gonna kill it when he gets his chance. Dudes been a killer since he got here.

So smart, yes - I love it. At the end of the day, the goal is always the number of NBA players and not NCAA championships...the kings of what could have been! Ah! To dream of such aspirations...

If Bouk stays through his Junior year, he might have his name in the rafters. If he doesn't, well...he doesn't. I root for team success, not individual success. Great play shines through regardless of who put the ball in the basket. It probably doesn't matter though, either way, it's likely the season is cut short and the NBA is still a mess headed into 2021, so it's quite likely we get Bouk through Junior year, almost by default.

The tropical rains came as predicted and burst the dam wide open.
