Leonard is who I wanted too but there's a note from a poster on the rivals board who has an in with the program that said that Leonard had his visit cancelled because his gpa was too low to get into the grad program. McKnight had some behavioral issues in the past, getting suspended at FGCU, and as far as Simmons I've never been a fan of him from watching Washington, maybe he'll do better in a different program but eh.

McKnight did take the college route rather than pro ball oversees for next year like I'd heard he would. He committed to Tennessee a couple of days ago.

No need to, sports are a world of nick names. Heck he is listed as a SG not shooting guard, Svi My works for me.

It's easy: Sheshefski.
You never even have to decide whether it's the first or last name, and you can spell it differently every time.
 
If you don't want this kid, you're crazy.

Agree we need a big, but when a top 10 talent comes around like that you do not say no.

For this reason alone, bring him on KO!
 
It'd be awesome to add a decent interior postgrad, or an immediately eligible transfer, but crazy as it sounds, next year's starting 5 is probably already taller than this years. Losing DD and TO and only adding Lubin means we're one man thinner down low, but Dan H. only gives up and inch to Giffey, and Purvis has 4 inches on Shabazz. Another year of team rebounding it is!

Here's Amore on UConn adding anyone for 2014 class:

Ollie said it's possible, but not likely, he will bring in another Class of 2014 player. He has scholarships available with Daniels leaving early and Leon Tolksdorf transferring, but wants to have room for 2015 recruits.

http://touch.courant.com/#section/2250/article/p2p-80198086/

Boneyard doesn't seem to believe what Kevin Ollie has said recently, so maybe this means there will be 2 more additions to the 2014 class.
Expand ...
Ollie has to walk a fine line here. Guys work hard in practice on the hope they will eventually start. If Ollie keeps bringing in 5th years, these guys don't develop or play. Lots of 5th years will be better than Kentan this year but Kentan can turn into an NBA player.

If Kentan is going to improve a 5th year player should not hurt his time unless he's not doing his summer work. I think we saw the importance of Lasan this year and the impact his experience and game brought to the table. If the addition brings the same then it needs to be done they aren't out to win 18 games and be sure a kid gets better, they're out to win 30 games and NC's………….
 
Kansas bound...now their backcourt is just as crowded as ours.

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk has decided to attend Kansas, according to his club in the Ukraine. Mykhailius is only 16 and will be at KU two years.

Jeff Borzello ‏@jeffborzello
Talking to an NBA scout about new Kansas commit Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. Compared him to Nik Stauskas, said he would be top 10 in 2015 & 2016.

I want Adams for than ant other recruit in this class. He just bleeds blue weather or not he knows that at this moment.

KU has been my biggest fear in this one. Never like 'Ville lurking, but the optimistic side of me is feeling it sway our way. No real info. from my last post to really support this though.

Better way to phrase the question, does this signing by KU fill the same minutes that would be carved out for Adams thereby balancing the minutes available knock at both schools?

If Louisville offered him I would fear them way more than I do Kansas, I would have to think that eventually he and his camp would come to the realization that KU's offense just isn't the right move for a backcourt player with his talent and abilities. Louisville offers the same type of freedom that KO does, plust backcourt minutes should ease up a bit with Jones leaving and Rozier possibly primed for a big year and early departure.

I agree. The last thing I want to see is an offer from Louisville.

One thing to look out for with Louisville, if that offer ever comes, is their recent hire of Kenny Johnson. He can recruit New England, as he was able to get Noah Vonleh to Indiana.

yea I am hoping they land Bryant Crawford, Johnson was his recruiter at IU and is now the pointman for Louisville on his recruitment. Getting him would certainly help things but I have no idea where he's at with his recruitment. The fact that they haven't offered Adams yet despite him going off is probably a good sign that they're in a good spot with Crawford.

That first line is funny. As I said in another post, it would really suck losing out to Kansas on a recruit from our backyard (and an area we've recruited from quite successfully in the past) whom both UCONN and KU are pursuing hard.
 
This kid is good, will eventually be a stud. Just wondering how much schooling he has at 16 in the Ukraine to get into KU?

Great get for them

All those Slavic kids are full fledged computer scientists by 16. PHDs by 20,
 
:)

I don't put too much faith in highlight films, but in looking at the film of this kid he is very athletic. And he apparently can hit the 3.

Should be a fun 2 years with the kid. :)
