Teammate of Corey's in HSIf we actually have a shot with him this could be a massive class... Wilcher, Bowen, Griffiths, Ducharme, etc. I also wonder if the staff decided to punt on a ball handler for 2022 and go all in on Wilcher for 2023. Ideally RJ would stay another year if that is the case.
Just curious...did any interesting, influential friends respond to Simeon's post? (I don't know all the handles).
For a moment, I entered that alternative reality and envisioned 2 new nattys during his UConn career. A feeling I could live with, BTW.
Let's make it happen
Laurence Fishburne and Bill Murray and Gampel, let’s do it. Nearly had Kobe too.Wow I didn’t know his dad is Laurence Fishburne pretty cool
The jerseys are pure excellence, one of the best in the country. The visiting recruits always don these when they get these photos taken, so the staff clearly knows they are incredible. Make it happen!Make this the primary uniform
I'll bet Bill could get Laurence to crack a smile.Laurence Fishburne and Bill Murray and Gampel, let’s do it. Nearly had Kobe too.

I think that’s true. UConn is the brand synonymous with our basketball programs (thanks to Calhoun and geno), whereas “Connecticut” is more genericMy conspiracy theory is that the school very much wants to be branded as “UConn” as opposed to “Connecticut”
Just in case this isn’t sarcasm, he’s not. That’s not Lawrence in the picture but it does look like a doppelgänger. According to Rivals his dad’s name is Sergio.Wow I didn’t know his dad is Laurence Fishburne pretty cool
I'm not even sure this is a conspiracy theory, the school explicitly said this during the rebrandingMy conspiracy theory is that the school very much wants to be branded as “UConn” as opposed to “Connecticut”
I don't know how old @Guapo is but it was only 8 years ago when they did this. I guess if he's less than 20 he may not remember.I'm not even sure this is a conspiracy theory, the school explicitly said this during the rebranding
BummerJust in case this isn’t sarcasm, he’s not. That’s not Lawrence in the picture but it does look like a doppelgänger. According to Rivals his dad’s name is Sergio.

To say the least, recruiting has picked up slightly under Hurley…kid is the 6th ranked prospect in his class. Rudy Gay was the 6th ranked prospect in his class.

If nothing else, good to see top-50 talent in our backyard hyping him up in UConn gear

Seems like he had a pretty poor summer though…Lemond as a 22 reclass is starting to look really attractive
