Shockingly, there was no preface. Just "hearing UCONN."

Was he watching our football game at the time? Maybe it's a simple misunderstanding.

 

[Leebo]

I'm no BY law expert

Just who are you, anyway? Are you "Number 1"? Or are you "no one"? The ambiguity is intriguing.

 

[Matrim55]

Friend of mine from the Cal athletic department just texted me "congratulations."

This should clear things up

I can't imagine what Ollie could do if UConn were in the P5. He is turning into an elite recruiter and bringing in multi-year guys.

We currently have the #2 recruiting class in the country for 2016. What more would he really be able to do in P5. He is crushing it as it is.

Well, you know we're not going to hold on to that high of a ranking, even if we get Vance, because there are still very high-ranking kids who will go to the usual suspects and we aren't in the running for any of them.

Yup.

But what really matters is the balance and diversity of this class. It may not be the "best" recruiting class in that it's not filled with surefire future NBAers, but it damn sure looks like the "right" recruiting class if the goal is to win games and play beautiful basketball.

Yea, Michigan State and Duke look like locks to be top 3 classes and I'm sure UK with slide their way in. With Jackson, this class will likely wind up somewhere around 5-9 (not counting Larrier).

 

[Huskyforlife]

We'd have the n.3 class with Vance, 4 without him. I'll take top 5 either way

 

[ctchamps]

I'm hearing he's coming to UConn. I have no sources. I wash my own car. Just wishful thinking and the sound of it keeps reverberating in my head. Vance is coming to UConn I hope, Vance is coming to UConn I hope, Vance is coming to UConn I hope!!!!!!

 

[alfonse]

The recycling guy told me Vance is a lock

 

[fatlucy]

...Come on! I waited fifteen minutes before I checked back.....back in ten...

 

[CallMeBruce]

Did I miss the comments from our resident experts or have they all been sufficiently badgered out of giving their opinion at this point.

@husky99 @Zionn @3uconn @CallMeBruce @tcf15 @Brochacho

At the risk of opening myself up for some abuse, the last thing I heard was a week or so ago, and the staff felt really good about his visit. The impression I got was that, if everything stays aboveboard, we're in really good shape. There was some concern that Cal might be involved with some $henanigans, though.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Heard same thing CallMeBruce. Think we are in great shape.

Hey, Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy s h it on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

 

[jleves]

Longest 20 minutes ever!

Don't let it die. #Team20Min

 

[8893]

So you're saying there's a chance that we'll know in 20 minutes, but we should take it with a grain of salt because recruiting is fluid.

In the meantime, take the wood chipper to the car wash.

 

[Zionn]

Outside of the thread we have in conversation section with a few of us and update I posted 10/4, I'll remain mum on this one.

That said - next will not leaving my lips anytime soon.

 

[Huskyforlife]

^bold prediction right here

What a tease.

Vance Jackson got the illustrious @UConnCompliance follow on Twitter.

This compliance feed is an enigma. It is following Vance and Hamidou, but not either of our summer commits.

 

[MadisonSquare Gordon]

This compliance feed is an enigma. It is following Vance and Hamidou, but not either of our summer commits.

At least that we know of, yet.

 

[azescobar]

Agreed w/the UConn Compliance Twitter handle being an enigma, but then again, I don't think it is any compliance violation to follow a recruit, so long as the University does not send any prohibited tweets. Crazy world we live in now.
