2023 Recruiting: Stephon Castle

[djct1999]

Regardless of what happens with his recruitment, using the OV to help a kid see his grandma for the first time is 2 years is a really respectable thing to do. I'm sure it meant the world to this family.

Pure quality by the staff. Doesn't get better than that.

@Matrim55 or @BFieldHusky news would really help me get through this weekend

I had kind of written him off b/c Auburn's going HAM for this kid, but apparently the staff knocked it out of the park with this visit. Really good shape here.

Seems to me that Quan is the type of mother that will excel here. Love her energy.

Like Kemba’s Mom. She was/is awesome!

Our staff does such a good job with things like this….first class organization!!

 

[Mister P]

I like the Jersey.
Bouknights success and name recognition is paying dividends.

 

[UconnU]

Wow. Staff going all in on this one.

 

[BGesus4]

What we need to do is start a boneyard fund to keep Kimani here as long as possible

 

[Husky Alien]

Staff is right on top of things.

 

[Umami Zen]

The staff/Kimani rolled out the red carpet and showed some creativity on the OV. You can't ask for anything more.

SC. What you goin' to do?

 

[Chief00]

Kimani did a great job.

Creativity with a purpose. UConn is family. Hurley would do anything for every one of the kids on his team.

 

[Chief00]

This will be a real barometer of the current state of the KO /UConn relationship. Are things on the mend or will he try to buy OTE’s home town guy to spite UConn. This kid definitely has a future pro look. Good size and body for a young gun.

Looks like they're bowling tonight based on Akok's story

Peep the hat

Sounds like the staff did everything they possibly could to make this kid and his family understand what UConn basketball is all about. Excellent job would love to have this young man be a part of the Huskies family!

Absolutely - there's never any guarantees with recruiting, and who knows what will happen with this kid. But the bottom line is no one can second guess the thought and effort this staff is putting into this, and can't ask for much more than that. It has and will continue to yield results - let's hope Stephon is part of that

With the last staff, if we didn't get a kid we knew it could be about effort (and sometimes was). With this staff, if a kid goes elsewhere it's just because we weren't the right fit for them. I can live with that

He’s pointing straight at me. Has to be a good sign for UConn.

 

[Husky Alien]

Auburn and OSU scare me here. Thouh we did pull out the red carpet for him.

 

[BGesus4]

I like the timing of the announcement. Would obviously be a massive addition if the staff can pull it off. When I watch his tape, his and wilchers games look very comparable. No idea how ESPN could not have him ranked.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Seems like a lot of local teams, us & OState. Any insight what the OState connection is? Or is there one?

 

[444JR]

Stephon Castle and Isaiah Miranda to start off the 2023 class sounds amazing. Size, Athleticism, and Potential off the charts

 

[Husky Alien]

He’s pointing straight at me. Has to be a good sign for UConn.

Not only that. Our mascot logo is right above his head and he is pointing at us. Lol!
