2023 Recruiting: Taylor Bol Bowen

[Chief00]

I'd prefer he go through the whole recruiting process and make sure Storrs is 100% the right place for him, personally.

I just want him to commit to UConn when he wants to.

We r off to a great start but don’t enjoy Kentucky being in the mix.

He doesn't sound like the type of kid looking for snake oil.......

We've also been associated with

#5 Mackenzie Mgbako
#12 Simeon Wilcher
#17 Justin Edwards
#32 Jeremy Fears
#36 Isaiah Miranda
#52 TJ Powers
#54 Scotty Middleton

Reid Ducharme not on there. Neither is Castle.

On some really great talent early this year.

I like the idea of Bowen and Griffiths, but who among these will be the shifty guards we've always won with? Wilcher? Who else?

He's already here. Aren't we talking about kids currently being recruited?

Castle

Very nice kid, good to see him talking up Coach Smith.

Great pipeline to continue to cultivate. They have treated UConn well over the years.

You asked about who's going to be the great leader to win a championship over the next few years. I don't see that being a young player so no that player is likely already on the roster

Diggins?

This is the TBB thread and Sool is one of our recruiting ambassadors.

Not exactly. Dan Hurley just learned of these players by reading the fan board Syracusefan.com. He is just now starting to build a relationship with them.

You know Dan. He lets others do the hard work of recruiting and he swoops in at the end to close the deal. .
[sarcasm]

Someone actually said that. Hard to tell if they were serious or not.

Oh I thought the strategy was that Dan Hurley leaks to journalists that kids are leaning to UConn, which works as some sort of Inception-like method of making those kids commit. Sounded totally legit when I read it on the Cuse board.

I'd imagine so. He visited twice this summer and had nothing but effusive praise for UConn. And he didn't sound like the kind of kid who was giving out b.s.

Coach Smith is really a great guy.

Agreed, but of course recruiting is 24/7.

Agreed, but of course recruiting is 24/7.

Agreed. Recruiting is fluid, grain of salt, and all that.

 

[Chief00]

Agreed. Recruiting is fluid, grain of salt, and all that.

With the image/merchandising $ angle and OTE, there are new variables with unknown consequences that will be playing out. Therefore, even less certainty than usual, but thus far UConn has been pretty stable. Once players get inage/merchandising income track records then schools will use that in their recruiting narrative and it will get real interesting.

TBB is on record as saying he's not looking for official visits at this time.. Maybe he likes the idea of playing with AK and Griffiths and DC??
