I really hope we get Larrier as he seems like a good get.

Also, I want to keep the NYC pipeline going (Gibbs, Diarra, etc.)

Is Larrier a legit 6'8 or more like a stretched out 6'6? I don't know and am asking those who have seen him in person and know what his true height is.

What was Larrier ranked coming out of high school in the final 2014 ranking?

Thanks.

Larrier is from NYC too, so that helps the pipeline. By all accounts he is a legitimate 6'8. He was 34th in the 247sports composite rankings and tied for 39th in the RSCI rankings, so Larrier was essentially a consensus top 40 recruit for 2014.

Measured 6'7" in shoes at both the LeBron and Durant camps. 6'10" wingspan, though.
 
Now that Larrier will be joining, does this help with King?

Doubtful it helps since they technically play the same position. But if Ollie and co. can convince him that they'd excel playing together, it might not hurt their chances either.

I'd still bet on King landing at Louisville, but the pressure's off now that they have Larrier on board.
 
We still need multiple wings in this class IMO. I expect DHam to have the type of year that will put him in position to go pro, lose Calhoun and DHam and we still need more than just Larrier. Plus while I don't think Purvis is a great NBA prospect, if he has a good year he might feel compelled to take that leap as a former top 20 recruit 4 years removed from HS.

Just get him on campus and see what happens. UL has Mitchell and Adel at the 2/3 in 2015 class and are trying to get Rowan to come in also. I don't think ULs depth is much different than UConns at the 2/3 if Hamilton leaves early.
 
This tweet (referring to the Golden State lineup) came to mind after reading the last couple posts:



In today's game a lot of teams in college and the nba don't play the traditional lineups of the past. There was nothing traditional about our 2014 line up. Larrier and King will be able to play together no problem.

I hope Jalen is on campus this weekend for his visit. They definitely formed a friendship on First Night that has continued through social media. His presence could only help us.

I think just adding talent brings in more talent. I think kids are starting to look at these stacked teams out here and realize they can be apart of them anywhere. And that a stacked team gets more national media attention. If we add Larrier, and that could be intriguing to King, and others that are teetering between Uconn and other schools.

That's addition by addition. We only do addition by subtraction around here.
 
BUMP. He's visiting today, why are we not talking about him? Where's our creepers?

Even though we have Larrier on-board for 2016, I still think they can co-exist in the back court. Let's hope for no car trouble. Maybe KO can stay hot and we can gain some ground on UL.
 
If VJ King has a problem with Terry Larrier being at UConn, I don't see how he'd be okay with Deng Adel at Louisville. Adding Larrier essentially put us at level playing field with Louisville in terms of available playing time.

yo dudes keepsalivating over players, why; olywould only bring in 1 real recruit in his tenure to date named dham and the more minutes this man play the more he is exposed

history teaches much about future; do you understand such a concept, oh thats right, yo never matriculate storrs so yo would not know jack jones from chamberlain

Check out this gem from the first page of this thread, only four months old. Obviously this poster was deranged by my how times have changed.
 
VJ King is going to have playing time anywhere he goes. It would take a log jam like Kentucky's last year for his potential minutes to suffer. 5-star top 15 recruits play wherever they go.
 
King's OK, but I would prefer he tells us no, and we instead get two better recruits. Now that's what I call "Addition by Subtraction!?"

Pretty significant to get the kid to campus. Many likely thought Louisville would have gotten his commit before even stepping foot in storrs. I guess it is game on now.
 
I still think Hamilton stays for his junior year but I'd love to see VJ King in a UConn jersey. He could be the next Caron Butler.

I do like machine guns, you might be on to something. :rolleyes:

Take a chill pill Limbo, I love BBW.... .. maybe VJ does to!?!
 
I'm about 28 fingers deep in JW Blue but they all seem like Miss America next to some of the beautiful young women I escorted home from Ted's back in the day.

I miss them all in their own special way.

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back to Storrs and tell our enemies that they may take our conference, but they'll never take... OUR CHAMPIONSHIPS!!
 
what schools has he visited already and what schools if any does he still have left to visit?
