Top booster I talk to says UConn staff thinks they have them

UConn staff thinks they have him ... Got it now!

That's not uncommon, where a staff feels they're in good but end up not, but I admit IF that happens again, it's gonna be deflating.

But I'm not there yet ... Lots of different information, they must feel good about what he's talking about.

I'm not up or down right now, but I'm def hoping this isn't the case.

If it goes St. John's then I'd have to think it was family pressure to push him that way. We will see.

Or an example of a really strong family bond. We'll see.

Yeah, I don't agree with the whole "bad look" thing. What do you realistically want the staff to do if a family is insistent on their child staying close to home? People are also forgetting St. John's has a pedigree in the area due to their history. They aren't some mid major.

In my opinion at least, the problem wouldn't be KO not being able to successfully overcome the family issue in making the sale - that sucks, but factors like that are out of our control no matter who you have in the HC's chair. The real red flags lie with the question of the staff being on a completely different page than the actual reality.

I'd imagine they would have been told otherwise at this point if he was going elsewhere. It is courteous to. Depends on when @husky99 got that info.

I'm told that the FiOS at the Wilson house is down, but they've called Verizon for the next available service call.

Announcement may be delayed by 45 days.

This has been the story all day. If he picks elsewhere, it will be a really bad look for the staff.

I don't buy this at all. It's a bad look for the kid or his family for lying to the staff. If the staff gave up because they thought they had him locked up or got the wrong impression, maybe it's a different story, but we don't think that's true in this case. In fact we've heard staff has been pushing even today. What more can they do but keep pushing despite being lied to?

I don't listen to anyone until the recruit commits. We've been burned too much and it could change until the announcement

Seriously. All the rumors are just for fun imo. End of the day, only the kid knows, and maybe family. Until he announces, it's up in the air. Every time.
