If/when he commits, does this become the best class in UConn history?
For a three person class, Rudy Gay, AJ Price, and Antonio Kellogg is a freaking monster class (2004). Gay and Price were both huge players for us. As was the 2012 class of Drummond, Daniels, and Boatright.
Also, 2006's class with Stanley Robinson, Jerome Dyson, and Hasheem Thabeet--matched with Curtis Kelly, Doug Wiggins, Mandeldove, and Eaves was also really good.
06 was gigantic; Robinson and Kelly were both 5 stars, and Dyson and Wiggins were ~top75 iirc. Then you had the project bigs, where we went a very big 1 for 3.
Actually, just came across this 1991-1992 freshmen class preview in the VHS tapes I'm converting. This is a ridiculously large class, and good to hear about their rankings. Can't really find much about rankings from back in the day:
Pretty much the same exact guy 25 years later.Love KO in that!
Letting him down in person, I can respect that.His latest snap is coach Hobbs sitting in his living room!!!!!
So that was two 5 star players and three four star players. Yeah, that was a good class.Thabeet was ranked 64th in the RSCI. He was definitely raw, but not as big a project rankings wise as some people make him out to be.
This thread makes me feel really old. Well I am really old, but when recruits in classes from 10 years and more are listed it brings home how much time has passed and how well our program has been doing for a long time.06 was gigantic; Robinson and Kelly were both 5 stars, and Dyson and Wiggins were ~top75 iirc.

You're telling me; in 2006 I was still finishing 5th grade! And now, I'm an upperclassmen at this great school. I know it's probably nothing compared to when I'm older, but man. Time flies. I'd like to stop for a sec and just take it in. But I'll stop there. Don't want there to be another fleudy on the BY.This thread makes me feel really old.

A few days ago the crystal ball 247sports CBSSports.com had Vance a 50% chance going to UCONN. Yesterday they had Vance a 75% chance going to UCONN. This morning that has since moved to 80%. I hope that they are correct and that the 80% turns to 100% on Friday!

A word of advice: stop checking that thing daily. There are maybe two trustworthy "insiders" at that site.A few days ago the crystal ball 247sports CBSSports.com had Vance a 50% chance going to UCONN.
