If it's outside shooting that UConn lacks, well then everyone will just need to work on it.

Larrier, Enoch from the elbow, Durham, Gilbert, Adams, etc., 500 shot a day.

KO is answering the questions people raised about the staff's ability to build recruiting contacts. It took a little time, that's understandable, but now by all appearances we're tight with Mass Rivals, tight with PSA...that's a lot of prospects on a regular basis.

KO has a plan, he always has a plan. And since he's a very smart guy, the plan is usually pretty good.

Indeed. That said, I want to see how we do with Expressions Elite's new gang:





Pretty sure we haven't landed one of their kids since Olander. I'd love, love love to get Waters & Samuels.

Bear in mind that I know absolutely zip about recruiting, but aren't we out of the Waters sweepstakes?

On 247 composite, they have Makai (#41) just above Tremont (#43) in the rankings, with Makai listed at 100% for UConn and Tremont 66% UConn. Are these rankings way out of date in regard to Waters, at least? Waters was not listed with a Dook offer. Stamford was the other school with a percentage. I would love to see Waters come to UConn...why not take both if Waters has an interest? They seem to complement each other in their style of play, but they would be quite small.
 
For some reason I had thought Waters committed to Siberia. I must have been thinking of someone else far less intelligent.

It looks like he has his heart set on Duke, who haven't offered (and probably won't). We'd be sloppy seconds.

I'm not sure we're still on him - or Samuels - like we were at this time last year. But I haven't heard anything explicit about us not recruiting them, either.

I will say this: the presence of Gilbert probably doesn't help us re: Waters, and the presence of Larrier and hopefully Jackson & Diallo will hurt us re: Samuels.
 
The rumor on Waters is that he has no interest in UConn, and, barring a Duke offer, will end up at Stanford.

I'd love to nab Tremont, Samuels, and Richards out of there. Not going to happen, but I can dream!

To be fair, he would be coming in with Jalen Adams and Alterique on the team with neither being a senior. I'd say point guard wouldn't be the most pressing need for Uconn when Tremont makes his decision. With that said, if Adams blows up and leaves early, I'm sure that'll change the landscape of his recruitment.
 
Awesome that he's coming to First Night. Hopefully this neon/blacklight thing they're doing this year will look impressive and leave an impression.

When is a reclassification decision made? Is that still a possibility? We have 2 schollys left for 2016, yes? Would love it to be Jackson and Diallo. Although Diallo in 2017 would be a year better.

He could wait until May to reclassify if he wanted to. There's really no timetable on it right now.

From Dom:

Shooting guard Hamidou Diallo, a teammate of Diarra at Putnam Science Academy, who could really complete what is already considered a top five recruiting class, will decide whether to play as a post grad in 2017 or reclassify to 2016. He figures to be among the notable recruits on hand for First Night. Other guests will probably be younger prospects, but this is a moment to show them what UConn basketball is all about. Adams and Enoch were once First Night guests; who’s next?

I get this and don't really disagree. But one thing we've seen from KO so far is that when he really bonds with a kid - Omar, Facey, Hamilton, Adams - he gets him, and keeps him even when the Louisvilles, Syracuses and UCLAs of the world get involved.

We should all remember that Adams only committed after Louisville offered, so for some kids, it's important to have a few particular invites to the prom before you go with the date you knew you were taking all along.

Let's hope that's what's happening with Diallo.

Actually what happened with Jalen was Louisville offered late and he was miffed. Not saying we wouldn't have signed him anyway but Louisville was too late to the dance.
