2023 Recruiting: Scotty Middleton, "I want coaches who aren't going to tell me what I want to hear"

[kansashusky]

Sounds like Danny to me.

[Brochacho]

Would Corey Brewer be a fair non-UConn comp?

 

[M.S.G.]

Corey Brewer was taller and longer I believe. I don't think that's a super inaccurate comp though.

 

[Banta55]

Sounds like Danny to me.

Is Kansas actively recruiting him?

 

[QuickDraw]

if it's between us and the Hall I think he's going to be a Husky with the commits we have he knows we will be serious contenders

 

[kansashusky]

Is Kansas actively recruiting him?

The word is he is their plan c. It will be telling to see if he visits them before peach jam. I don’t think he does.

 

[MDHuskFan]

A freshman class of Castle, Solo, Ross & Middleton (if committed) would be INSANE.

Not to mention a sophomore class of Clingan, Karaban, and Floyd.

 

[UconnU]

What?

 

[t8per]

Unrelated, but I get unnecessarily annoyed whenever I remember that Corey Floyd transferred

 

[Huskyforlife]

Gotta give this kid credit for the quiet recruitment. Doesn’t seem like anyone has the inside here.

I just pretend he never came here

 

[CallMeBruce]

Gotta give this kid credit for the quiet recruitment. Doesn’t seem like anyone has the inside here.

It's pretty wild that a top-40 kid announced he was committing this week and he has 0 predictions on 247 or Rivals.

 

[aburks41]

This dude has been early on a lot of commitments and transfers. Pretty good sign if he’s tweeting that

 

[ToolzieFan]

Unrelated, but I get unnecessarily annoyed whenever I remember that Corey Floyd transferred

Yeah, but then I remember we got Newton, Alleyne, Diarra, and Calcaterra, with Castle, Ball, and Ross on the way, and then I get less annoyed.

I know I’m being a Debbie downer, but anyone who’s kept up with this recruitment could infer this conclusion. I don’t think he knows anything for sure.

 

[husky99]

Hearing uconn.

 

[Bazz4A]

Would be a fantastic addition to the class! Playing around with the 247 class calculator, adding Middleton would give us right around the #10 class in the country, if all current rankings remained the same.

UConn is 2nd without him currently and 4th on Rivals…

Thought we were already at #2...

Or are you playing asking with the score including Middleton compared across the what score is typically included in the top 10 each year

I think that's what he did. Can't complain about a top ten class, but that should be worse case scenario when updated rankings come out. I feel like every recruit committed is due for a nice bump up

Yes that’s what I did

His twitter account was the one who said to keep an eye on Newton and Alleyne before it was even public that we were connected to them. He clearly has some sort of inside info that is well connected. I trust him

Newton and Ramey*

No he didn’t. It was Newton and Ramey and there had already been a tweet about us reaching out to Newton when he said it, just not Ramey. Ramey had been followed by a bunch of UConn players on IG too

 

[husky429]

I don't know about 4thecycle, but I do know that there are some very respected "insiders" on this board (not Chief) who are just reading the tea leaves and actually have 0 inside info. It isn't that hard...a turtle could have noticed Middleton has a good shot of coming here at this point.

The reality is that this staff is uber locked down when it comes to recruiting info... very little comes out. As it should be. And when I do hear things, I'm only giving it to a select few people via DM because the hoard of turdburglars on this board freaks out any time they hear bad news, or a kid changes their mind.

 

[marti3td]

He is ranked #18 on ESPN. This would be a hugeeeee get!

Fwiw ESPN rankings are like asking a random stranger his thoughts on HS players at a Hooters bar.

Still though, would be a solid get
