2023 Recruiting: Staff Visits

[superjohn]

I think zionn nexted him.

Almost positive he never did. If that's the case though he should tell the staff and Simeon.

Wilcher? Didn’t see that and it wasn’t in the thread dedicated to him. But could’ve missed it.

You're right, he was referring to Starling before he cut his list. My bad.

Where did you see the "don't hold your breath" comment? I've never necessarily felt great about Wilcher, but don't ever remember reading anything negative about our chances. Could've missed it.

I was making a joke about kansashusky saying UConn doesn't get top 10 guys. And Wilcher is a top 10 recruit. His original "don't hold your breath" comment was about Martas Buzelis but I won't forget that comment and when Hurley signs his first top 10 recruit I will bring it up again.

We have a way better chance with Wilcher than we do with Matas.

But this is far from breaking our way.

 

[Mooch82]

Got it. Yeah I'm not holding my breath on Buzelis either, but I'm OK with that as long as we get TBB.

I REALLY want a stud PG in this class...either Wilcher or Castle would be amazing.

We were never getting Buzelis, I think he was taking umbrage with you saying we don't land top 10 players.

 

[kansashusky]

He literally said "why not us" and how is that arguable? Our last top ten kid came a decade and two coaches ago.

 

[superjohn]

He literally said "why not us"

And you responded because we don't land top 10 players.

That's not the reason Buzelis isn't coming here and he's not even a top 10 player at this juncture, he's rated below Bowen.

No next from me.......on this one........

They did their due diligence on Matas, meaning you’re a great player who’s close by so we’re going to reach out and come to watch you, but we know you’re ultimately looking for something else.

Anyone watch Him play? Can Simeon be a point guard first, or is he more of a combo who can pitch in with ball handling? At 6-3, it would seem that pg would be his path to the NBA.

Where does NE stand with point guards?

He's an awesome passer. He isn't a superb ballhandler, but passable if I recall. It was last winter amd I was mostly paying attention to Corey... so I could be wronf

Want to extrapolate on what "looking for something else means"?

Nothing scandalous… a program that’s more recently put guys in the pro ranks, plus he has no real ties to the northeast that he wants to maintain. He’ll likely be a Duke, Kentucky, etc. guy if he can unless something major changes.
