2023 Recruiting: Stephon Castle

[husky429]

Still Hearing uconn.... time will tell.

Can't feel bad about this one even if Auburn or UGA made a late push for the commit. Our staff clearly went above and beyond to get this commitment.

If this works out, what a pull. I don’t think he’s getting as much attention as he should since ESPN not evaluating him has his composite low, Castle is a legitimate top 40 player.

I am fully behind Dauster being a new Yard insider.

But remember Rob, we are simple people here. A is worth a thousand words.

Time, as in 9 hours?

Every recruiting service I've seen has him in the 25-30 range except ESPN. Reasonable chance he ends up a 5*, especially considering his rapid improvement recently.

I love Dan Hurley. Give Kimani a blank check and keep him here forever

Mrs Hurley might have something to say about your 1st statement

 

[HooperScooper]

I could be wrong, but I think an article mentioned that his family has a second home in NY that they spend time at.

I don't think that is what it said. His immediate family is from New York and he still has relatives (including his grandmother) in the New York area so he was saying because of that his second home is New York.

He added that he liked how Hurley “handled everything, how he coaches, how passionate he is. I love that about him. And it’s close to where most of my family is, in New York. That’s good, too.”

I don't know who this "Rob" guy thinks he is, but he needs to understand that we already have a board insider named Chief and the Boneyard isn't big enough for the both of them.

Maybe Rob could get Chief as a guest? I am sure the Chief's schedule is super busy so it might just be a pipe dream.

Word i hear is the staff feels really good about how this has gone....
Obviously take with a grain of salt.
I am not on the staff, not related to castle, or zag (for you hooper)

I think there's a calm confidence.

There is. I think we get him but no yet at this point.

 

[Dogman69]

Things can always change in recruiting, but I will say this: He did his interviews with national outlets Wednesday. Have a blessed Friday

Thank you for your service.

 

[Watchdog]

there’s tons of local ‘23 talent but it would be a solid national statement to pull this kid out of Georgia. Would love to see the good guys pull this one out tonight at 5

Lots of great players have come out of GA and the numbers seem to be increasing. We had Ricky and Jeremy, but there's been a ten year drought and it ends today.

Tease... Saw @Matrim55 and a wink but then I was forced to go back and read your post for context!

Andre will be in the house tonight. I hope he gets a great UConn welcome from the fans. Who says UConn doesn't do Bigs?

Thank you for posting this. Although I've heard of this incident many times, I never took the time to seek out the original thread. Reading it was a delight. It definitely belongs in the Cringe Hall of Fame.

IMO, that thread contains the greatest Fishy post of all time, followed closely by the "Cow Dick, Texas" one.

Wow, that was an amazing read! Always fun to learn BY history.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Oh my god, Chief's performance in that thread is so much worse than I remember.

 

[uconngb]

Nah, keep him where he is. He is far more useful politicking for local athlete of the week polls.

well done.....got an out loud laugh from me on that one

Did ClockShop ever get his proper due for making that all possible?? If there is a Boneyard HOF, he should get induction just for finding that gem
