Nobody is guaranteeing anything. I heard a couple days ago Brendan Adams was gonna commit here, but so far it seems he’s checking his options more thoroughly than we expected. Recruiting is fluid, grain of salt, etc.
Yeah just look at the last few years. The staff thought we had guys locked up and then they went elsewhere.
 
Fake news this was a rumor started by boneyarders I have yet to see anything suggesting that this is true other than that they follow each other on twitter. If thats all it took to get packaged players half of the 2018 class would be committed to the same school.
You get three dislikes for this post. For the use of Fake news. For not knowing BFieldHusky and his record. For needing a source outside the Boneyard.

Spend less time looking elsewhere. Read more here.
 
It's not a lie. One media guy I know from CT, another plugged in donor. Not a done deal with lecque but were closing
Great news. But did you hear it from them first or the Boneyard. Better say Boneyard.

My source (who covers the eybl for ny/nj) told me that I was the first person to bring that scenario to him. This wouldn’t be the case if it was as BFieldHusky said that “ALOT” of sources were reporting this. News travels fast on the curcuit, especially this type of news. So stop spreading fake news and lying about “ALOT” of sources.

I don’t get it ... so you’re assuming your one source is correct, but others shouldn’t think multiple of their sources are ?

Sounds like their sources are more closely tied to UConn as well, so this whole post is confusing.

I don’t know either way, but people sounding confident that it’s being discussed is more than welcome to me.

Questioning sources is one thing, but you said they’re flat out lying. That’s pretty bold.
 
Meh all of this recruiting stuff is just getting hopes up lol. Some people here are confident we are getting Lecque & Silverio for '18. That's basically it, just like it always is. We haven't gotten a next yet from Zionn so I'll hold out hope until then.

Currently hiding, but vigilant...

Those packaged deals rarely work out and from the school's perspective they usually only want one of the players. The #2 kid can likely get more PT somewhere else.
 
Smiling Hurley next to your posts always bolsters my confidence.

That picture doesn't give me confidence. If the guy's already pulled his hair out, can we count on him to avoid heart disease?

the boneyard had Hurley to UConn before anyone else.
And Akinjo to decommit (yes I'm patting myself on the back there).

Fwiw I've heard Lecque since the day after Hurley officially became our coach. I haven't heard it's part of a package deal, but it's pretty easy to connect some dots and cross some fingers.

But in general @BFieldHusky has a great track record with this stuff. As do a few other folks who are bullish on our chances with Lecque.
 
If Lecque is demanding Silverio as part of a package, let's hope it doesn't turn out like Lebron demanding that Miami draft Shabazz........and then leaving.

And, based on all the things we've heard about Hurley not being one to take shortcuts, would he really take a package deal which included a three star for a "likely" one and done?

Having said that, if the coaches believe in him I'm all for it, but Smith looks really good too and if he doesn't come with demands for a spot for someone in his posse I like him better.

I don't see Hurley going for a package deal unless he also likes Silverio. You can't let the inmates run the prison.

If Lecque reclassifies to 2018 I think its good. There are two things we need to do relatively early in the Hurley era, and that's to establish UConn as a NCAA-caliber team, and put some Huskies in the pros. Having Lecque next year is having a potential first round pick as insurance for Adams if he leaves, or for AG if he hurts his shoulder again. He'd add some buzz around the squad too. We've got 13 scholarships, if scholarship 13 goes to a 4 year player who may never amount to much then so be it.

And there's no way we'd agree to taking Silverio if we didn't see some sort of potential. There's nothing wrong with having a shooter as your fifth guard

I don't see the big deal of having a marginal player come along in a package. If he develops then we've gotten a second player in the package. If he doesn't earn time, he'll probably want to transfer to some place he can play, and if the NCAA passes the no-sit-out rule, he'll be able to do that at no cost. Meanwhile Lecque will not only help next year's team, but build stature back to the program and help re-establish a NYC pipeline. As long as you can honestly say to the second player that you think he has potential and you can develop him into a player, go ahead and extend the offer.
 
Lecque might not even be one and done, so who knows?

Completely agree and think that's the case. Hurley recruited Silverio at URI and he took an unofficial visit to campus. Either way, if Silerio is what it takes to lock down Lecque it is an absolute no brainer.
 
He stated somewhere that that’s his goal

Fair, I'm just saying, circumstances change. If it doesn't look like you'll go first round or something...

Boneyard: "We need shooters and stars!"
Hurley: "I present you a 5-star combo guard and a 4-year 3-point specialist."
Boneyard: "Boo!"

We're morans.

Looks like Lecque is Jelly Fam. Him and Cole Anthony are both rockin the #JamFam hashtag on social media.

Would be awesome to land Lecque for 2018 and parlay that into landing Anthony for 2019

Oddly enough, Jelly Fam and Jam Fam are two separate things: Similar to the Jelly Fam movement, Jam Fam was created by high flying dunkers like Zion Williamson and Cole Anthony as a way of life, a new culture. In contrast to the Jelly though, Jam Fam emphasises on mean high flying dunks, the type to get you killed.
