What I've been told on Brown is that the staff is talking with him and waiting to hear from him about whether he will move up to 2015 or stay in 2016. At that point they will decide to either make him a major target (2015) or stay on him as a plan B to some bigger names (2016).

Not questioning your sources but this is probably someones opinion vs. what the coaching staff has discussed. If not than the staff needs to tighten up who they speak with because this would turn off most recruits.

Funny but recruiting fears diminish when the team does well and resurfaces when team struggles. We spin things a lot based on this.

A few years back there were women's posters questioning Geno's recruiting ability/philosophy when the team didn't make it to the final 4 three years in a row. 2005, 06 and 07. Only made it to the sweet sixteen and then elite 8 twice. The extent of the criticism was on par with what you read here this season.

Problem may not be with recruiting as much as it is with fans.

What do I have to do to get punched in the head?
 
Fishy said:
This is the Boneyard.

There are no punches to the head here because I am a gentlemen.

A briefly-paralyzing punch to the throat cleanses your sins.

I have way too many to be cleansed by that tepid act. But I'll take your advice and try to go for the full ass approach. Can't have too many half assed people in the Boneyard. Dilutes the absurdity.

A) thanks
B) that's kind of disappointing
C) Who are the bigger names we'd be targeting?

The clearinghouse will tell the tale with Brown.

Despite the noise, if he wants to commit for either year, they'll take him.

Yeah, I didn't buy that nonsense about making him wait. If a top-50ish guy wants to commit, you take him. We're not Kentucky.
 
Not saying we wouldn't take him. Saying he isn't plan A next year. Plan A is very likely Tyus Battle who, at this point on their careers, is a better player. Similar to any position any other year the staff has their pecking order as to who they want at each postion.

If he comes to 2015 he's the guy as is Carter right now.

We're dead with Battle.

Not happening.

If Smith or Hardnett commit today, do they accept and stop recruiting Carter?
Expand ...
Carter is the main guy of the three for sure and will be visiting in the next few weeks from who I talked to very close to Carter. We can afford to have Smith and Hardnett hold off to them and would likely have them hold off a commitment. It quite sure about Smith but I'm under the belief that Hardnett's offer is contingent on not getting Carter. Tcf15 talked about this in another thread after Hardnett's offer was announced.
 
What about Marcus Lovett? I read something where getting qualified might be a concern, I know St. J0hn's has been after him. I want Carter and Brown and they seem like the best bet, I just don't see Smith and Hardnett as UConn level players.
 
So they're gonna stop recruiting Brown if he's not a 2015 recruit?

Seems like a strange recruiting strategy.

I don't think Lovett is a viable option - after cutting Cosby loose today, watch for Illinois there.

Not sure I have a preference past that....maybe these guys aren't what we expected going in, but at this stage, it's any port in a storm.

Hardnett has offers from Georgetown, Cal, Memphis and Wichita State, to name four. That doesn't scream "future star," but it definitely doesn't scream "future scrub," either.

Smith has offers from Texas A&M (their recruiting class is top 5), Memphis, Xavier, Wichita State and Clemson. Again... not a future star, but not a future scrub.

I think we're going to have to get used to going down our list for the guys who fill out our recruiting classes, and trusting in the program to turn these guys into contributors by year 3.

I really want this kid in a UConn jersey. Again, not saying he'll be anything close to as good as Westbrook but his style of play reminds me of him. He is really athletic and brings a football style to the court, kid is a gamer.

At this point we should offer and take what ever fish jumps on the boat first. Or we can do what we did this year and continue to eat scholarships.

Just watched these. He looks good. He's got Swag. I know they're highlight reals, but the thing that worries me just a little, and I def would still want him, is I didnt see any jumpers in either reel. We need someone who can space the floor.
 
Good to hear. Seems like KO's making all three kids a real priority.

Have we heard anything more on Brown reclassing? Or whether SJM will stay as a '17, or is more likely to reclass to '16?

Not sure why Ollie is wasting his time. New England kids don't count.
Expand ...

Shouldn't they already be locked up now? A program of UCONN's stature shouldn't even need New England kids to come to games. The end is nigh...
 
any update on this kid? he went off for 25 today against Tilton.

Can this kid shoot? Every shot was a lay up against rather lazy defense. Looks a lot like Sam Jr. Can't see where he is an improvement over Purvis. Can he shoot beyond two feet from the rim? A shooting guard has to be able to shoot the three ball. Traci Carter looks better. Can't see why Ollie would not play Adams as 2 with Carter or TSam at point. Add Purvis, TSam. Haven't even seen a pull up ten footer. Any other tapes?

You're the worst.
