Yes, he does. He doesn't tweet often though but he did make an allusion to the AG commitment last month.

Great news if true. KO is really doing well with Guards and Swing-men now. Just has to nail down the big men. Unfortunately that was a problem even in the Calhoun days. As long as some his under the radar bigs perform we will be fine.

What I meant were borderline top 25 like he is pulling in the back court and swing men. Neither SE or HD are rated super high. SE is just barely top 100 and HD is maybe top 150. I like them both but they aren't top rated bigs like the guards and swing men he is bringing in especially if the news of HD is true. I mean AG and HD, and JA are all top recruits.

Enoch is #46 on 247, #58 on Rivals, and #44 on Scout, with an RSCI composite ranking of #62. Best big we've gotten since Drummond.

Yeah but he isn't coming in with the expected impact of AG, JA or maybe HD(if he comes). Just saying he isn't DS. I have seen him play a few times and he seems to be a bigger Kelis Fisher at this stage of his game. It will be interesting if he will have a bigger impact.

what does any of that have to do with you being wrong about him being barely top 100?

Why is it that Enoch is nowhere to be found in ESPN's Top 100? I'm asking seriously. I spot checked a couple other people and their ESPN ranking roughly corresponds to where they slot in other services' lists.

That's a little different, likes where we stand but he didn't say he was coming like Diallo(or Gilbert before that).

He said "UConn will win this battle ... as long as it stays clean" - like @RipCity said though that was before he pulled in UNC/UK/other offers. I was just commenting on Ozzie's overall positivity - he's plugged in so if he likes where we stand/stood that's more than enough reason to be optimistic. No matter what though, this class is going to be full of talent.

I honestly have no idea - I think they had him as 98 or 99 at one point, but when they updated the rankings, he dropped out. It doesn't really make sense either, since, he's at least top 60 by all the other recruiting services and, like you said, you usually don't see such huge differences in the rankings.

I remember seeing the same thing with Chance Comanche when we were recruiting him. He was a consensus top 50 big everywhere else, but ESPN barely had him in the top 100. It will be interesting to see who it right.

It's weird, because one of ESPN's better/more respected recruiting analysts, Joel Francisco, called Enoch a top-50 recruit after he broke out at the Pangos Camp. Although, I think Enoch did get a thigh bruise or something before the July live periods and didn't play then, so that may be why ESPN doesn't have him ranked.

whats stranger is finklestein (sp) is a new england guy right who covers nepsac, and is one of their biggest writers over there. although him being out of the top100 isn't surprising, finklestein also runs NERR im pretty sure, has enoch 10 in new england below sharma.

6'10 7-4 wingpsan, 15&11 at st thomas more. somebody missed the boat.

Well I was remembering ESPN having him at the end of the top 100 and now out of it as another poster just mentioned. Either way he isn't as highly rated as the guards and SF's we having coming in. My point is he isn't an immediate impact player like a DHAM, JA, AG, or potential commit HD. He is no where in the ball park that AD was or DS is now. Though in Ollie's defense JC barely got these top bigs either.

Ozzie has plenty of credibility. As does the UConnMBB twitter account, which is not following any uncommitted high school recruits except for Hamidou Diallo.

Yes, Ozzie is very well connected to the program and KO. I always wonder though why he posts things on a message board. I figure they would shut him off if he broadcasted things. Tom Moore used to tell Dogmania and I recruiting stuff but we promised to never post anything he told us on the BY. And we never did.

I can't believe you just outed your source and your partner like that, savage.
 
I think the whole "as long as it stays clean" comment is the coaching staff still stinging from losing out on Stone when they thought they were at a really good place at one point.

He doesn't post much but it's certainly nice when he posts a nugget every once in awhile.

I think if he were posting stuff about recruiting strategy the staff would be more upset. What he posts now isn't really damaging.

He also likes us with Gabriel, so here's to hoping he's right on both. What a class that would be ... Gilbert, Diallo, Diarra, Gabriel.
Expand ...

Could be a really great recruiting class - but I would hate to be the play-by-play guy on a radiocast of those four guys all on the court at the same time, know I would end up with Giarra passing a rebound out to Dabriel for a breakaway.
