T. Samuel on board...

[mauconnfan]

Wow good one.......was it a Juco or someone on the NIT team?

Murray Williams.........

Brandon Austin said on twitter he plays the point...does Samuel signing play into his decision?

It shouldn't, all Ollie would have to do is tell him to turn on a UConn game and see what Bazz and Boat are doing together as dual PGs, or show him video of Kemba & Bazz, and Kemba & AJ and on & on with our history. I know we still have Bazz and Boat here now but Boat could leave this year and if not he'll probably definitely be gone(along with Bazz) next year.

Trivia Time: Who was Jim Calhoun's 1st recruit?

Guessing: Tate?

If he wants to be a PG, I'd think learning from Napier/Boatright would be a blessing.

Or the HC himself. I'm not really sold on the idea of him being a PG, but if that is what KO is telling him, who better to learn from then a guy who played the position for 13 years in the NBA. Not trying to throw shade on LaFlauer/Cooley, but it should be a no brainer for Brandon where to go.

Agreed. Not many programs have HC's with recent long-term NBA experience playing the pg position. no reason why we can't run a 2 pg offense: TG/CS, KO/DS, RM/KeA, TB/BG.....we've had a pretty good history of running a 2 pg offense

Ollie, Hobbs and Ricky Moore are all available for any potential guard recruit whether a 1 or a 2. Not sure any college program can offer that level and depth of experience to a recruit. Add the recent success of AJ and Kemba and it seems like a no-brainer to me.

*you're

i wonder if he can spell APR. /sarcasm

Unfortunately, this is the era we live in. I used to write by hand. I learned cursive (still don't know why). How many kids today need to write by hand? They just hammer on their computer or iphone, or tablet, thus creating a lot of grammatical errors. It's a different world.

Can you sign a letter of intent with the specific provision that if coaches change you can change your mind also? Or is it called something else. Thought remembered a circumstance where player agreed to go to a school but had an out if coach changed before he enrolled.

No. These are not documents you can negotiate. It's a form letter with no outs.

I know plenty of old people who don't know how to use a computer that can't spell.

Calhoun's first recruit= Tex Spradling

 

[Stinger92860]

I don't think I've ever seen a recruit so happy to come here. It's awesome.

When I read your post, the first thing to come to mind was Jeff King....
