Perkins is probably thinking meh when told he's coming off the bench. but then again this is the boneyard, where everybody believes recruits don't care about the rotation. FYI TS is not a Craig Austrie level contributer, much higher cieling.

Assuming Boat leaves, I figure Omar and Purvis will both be starters, leaving one more open spot for a guard/wing. Don't want to get ahead of myself too much here but there's an opportunity to start here if Perkins does come here. Either way there would be plenty of time available.

see now i like Kanses and their fans. why duke and Kentucky fans cant be like you guys makes me wondor

Haha we think the same about Duke and Kentucky. I think the coach is a huge reflection on the program and Bill Self and KO are two of the best in the business.
 
Yeah I'm not trying to sound like Perkins is overrated. it's just somebody earlier mentioned we won't have a lead guard in two years when both TS and RP sitting there waiting. and to people who think its blasphemous to consider TS as good as Perkins in two years you must be new to this.

I am a huge fan of ko. But how do you know he is one of the best in the business after one season.. yes a great 1st season.

You know who else was a low 5-star recruit who came in to play through a rotation? A guy named Kemba Hudley Walker.

Things worked out OK for him.
 
Assuming Boat is gone after this year, Perkins (or a guy like Perkins) is a must-have.

Here's what our lineup would ideally look like to start 2014, with minutes in parentheses. I also assume DD is gone after this year. Black and Chukwu are stand-ins for our next 3/4 wing forward (like DD) and big man, respectively. I don't actually expect to land all of these guys, but you can use them at least as placeholders.

1 - Perkins (25); Samuel (10); Purvis (5)
2- Purvis (25); OC (15)
3- OC (15); Hamilton (25)
4- Black (25); Facey (10); Tolksdorf (5)
5- Facey (15); Chukwu (20); Brimah (5)

Without a guy like Perkins, you're forcing either Samuel to play starter's minutes or Purvis to handle the ball 30 minutes a game. Not good.

You have no idea what either Samuel or Purvis will look like in a UConn uniform, you make some of the weirdest statements sometimes. Also, where is Nolan?
 
I expect us to bring in at least 4 or 5 recruits in, including Hamilton. We have no clue how it's going to turn out right now but they will play big amounts of time most likely. I don't think a player like Perkins is coming in to play behind another player.

I think Leon is 100% going to earn 15-18 min a game as a floor-spacer and a banger. He has the frame and game to be a unique weapon in stretches

And worked out OK for us too! 2 FF and a NC!

Josh's dad:
"He's been to UCLA (visited the campus with Rashad), Gonzaga, we were actually going to go to UCONN this week, we are going to know by the end of the day today if he can go to that," said Perkins. "There is such a short window of time to get in visits and to get to the camps before this dead period hits.

"If you don't get to these schools by the third of July you hit a dead period for an entire month. So he's trying to get to UCONN and Kentucky, so if he doesn't get that in this week we'll go to those places the first week of August.

This article is from today, but I don't know when the interview was done. So when his dad says that they should know by the end of today whether or not they are visiting UConn this week, I'm not sure if he is referring to today. But looks like we will know for sure soon.
 
So just for clarification, we can host kids with no issue now but the staff can't hit the road until July 1, correct?

Earlier the better because I hope UK holds out for Mudiay. I like UConn's chances a lot better with UK/squid out of the picture.

Lots of tweets from perk saying things like "I'm nobody's second option". "I don't beg for anything". "A lot of people are in for a rude awakening". All those tea leaves suggest to me that UK is not in a strong position. Add to that the quote about Ollie recruiting him harder than any player he has to date and it adds up that the attention counts and Ollie recognizes this and is pouring it on.
 
Heard that no visit was scheduled, but UConn will try to get him on campus in August for an official visit.

Lots of speculation in this thread. Here's my two cents:

Perkins will not come to UConn. I think we're too late in the race. Also, and more importantly, Purvis and Samuel will dominate the guard spot in 2 years. Samuel will fit in great with Purvis, Calhoun, and Hamilton. All great scorers and Samuel just has to do what he does best, distribute.

I have been told this as well. However, one of my main sources is asking Ollie today whether or not the visit was scheduled.

This announcement date does not affect Kentucky's recruitment of Perkins at all. They have said they are evaluating Perkins in July and from there they will decide whether or not to offer him. Then to the fact that he doesn't want to play second fiddle to another elite PG is not entirely true. He has said that he can play with Emmanuel Mudiay (Kentucky's top PG recruit).
