How many times can I like this post???

Adams never visited Louisville, he committed to UConn after getting an offer from Louisville.

Yeah,,,but other than getting his name wrong (Rose??? where did I get that come from?) and me being wrong about him visiting Louisville, every single thing that I said was correct. You can take that to the house.

I believe so.

Is he at cal this weekend?

Yes, he is there until tomorrow. Let's hope he gets out without any news and then makes a decision soon!

   @Beach1963Beach It is really good. I am just worried about Cuonzo and Cal as it is closer. I have spoken to Vance over the past 2 years

 

[Sonofabeach]

@Beach1963Beach he loves UCONN and KO plus the DHam connection is in our favor... Should know soon...

   @Beach1963Beach When I met him 2 years ago at first night after DHam committed he was in awe of UCON... so keep them positive vibes going

This is looking to be a tough one. Getting him out of California will be a minor miracle imo.

These are from OZ not sure why the images are not showing up

He's been quoted specifically saying that distance is not a factor in his recruitment.

Recruits play far from home all the time. Since he came here for First Night and just came again for an official visit, I'd say distance won't be a huge factor, but will likely factor in to some degree. How much, who knows?

Sometimes it's the family that wants the recruit to stay close to home, and if there are two programs where the interest is equal or close, proximity could be the domino that pushes the decision in that direction.

I have no idea what he and his family are thinking, but I have a feeling that one program will stand taller than the other where proximity won't be a factor. Let's hope that he likes some combination of KO, his staff, the program, the school, and/or the players more than what Cal has to offer.

He and his dad tend to tweet nice things about wherever they are or just have been, that it's so tough to get a good read on how this is going to go down.

Cuonzo Martin was a lousy player with an odd name. KO has got this.

I'm assuming you're joking about Cuonzo. UCONN really wanted him but he chose Perdue. He was a very goid, hard nosed player for Perdue. He would've been another Donny Marshall and fan favorite had he come to Storrs.

 

[Hugo]

You mean Purdue the university and not Perdue the chicken king. May not seem like a big deal, but I know a person who was fired for confusing the two. She updated a welcome sign in the lobby at my company the day we had a visiting professor from Purdue with a "welcome prof xxx from Perdue. She was fired that morning. Of course, the funny part was that we were a publishing house and the prof was one of our authors. Tough way to learn a lesson.

Yeah Cuonzo was one of those who seemed we had him almost locked at one time. Nice player, good guy too.

You certain it was the Perdue mistake that got her canned as opposed to calling him Prof triple xxx!!!! Of course it depends on what you publish.

Good reply, I never thought of it that way until I saw your comment. I started with prof "so and so", but changed it to xxx. Unintended double entendre on my part, but he was actually a prof in their school of business. But glad I could lighten the mood here and elicit a few chuckles.

KO doesn't do this on OVs does he? gives off a real desperate Blue Chips vibe... I know they 'show' the kits to prospective recruits, but a photo shoot with them donning it?

 

[kansashusky]

Gulp.

 

[BUHusky]

That picture aside, you have to like the fact that he left Berkeley without committing. Time for KO to seal the deal.

Nice pic. But wrong school
