Terry Larrier to Choose Between UConn and VCU

[djct1999]

Objectively speaking, how any highly touted recruit picks VCU over UConn is beyond me.

 

[MCNPA]

Everything I've heard, Larrier wants to go south and not stay up north. I think it will be VCU, but just a hunch. And fwiw, VCU a favorite along with St. Louis to be in Big East in another year so I don't think current conference affiliation will matter much.

 

[aceboon]

I just do not get what is so appealing about VCU. You never play on TV, you play in an even worse league than the AAC. Your coach was not in the league for several years. VCU has no notable NBA alum, and UConn is closer to home.

I just do not get it.

Larrier has no desire to be close to NY, he cut St Johns for that very reason

 

[upstater]

Larry Sanders is a very nice player. Wouldn't be ashamed if he was a UConn alum.

 

[James]

maybe he's attracted to living in the DMV area. Thing is Richmond ain't college park or DC. this is definitely a head scratcher. What is so fun about 'havoc'? It's an unrealistic defense if faced by elite guards...

 

[mcs333]

Hopefully KO has one last chance to sell UCONN to TL and his family. Ten toes in!!

 

[seanmc94]

I've heard from multiple outlets that TL has been vcus to lose for a while

That is the word. Uconn needs to get an official visit

Exactly right. SJU didn't even recruit him because his people made it clear he wanted to go south. I'm sure Uconn is as in this one as any northern school will get. It's just that all signs point to VCU and leaving the northeast.

What kid would pass up a chance to play at Tulane and Tulsa?

I don't get it.

Just a thought here...if he loves VCU this much, why not just announce he is going there this weekend? Why even consider Uconn at this point?

We're not getting an official...his AAU coach basically confirmed as much. Gotta throw all the eggs in the D-Rob basket now.

 

[husky99]

Coaches can ask

You hearing anything from the UCONN side?

Just a buildup! Once someone commits they are old history. Just look at the thread dissing KO"s recruiting because no one recently committed. DHam is old news.

We are in the "what's in it for me, I want it yesterday, and if it ain't recent it's worthless" period of human history.

I don't get it.

As opposed to Fordham and URI?

Just curious, where did you see his AAU coach confirm UConn isn't getting another visit?

 

[3uconn]

I've been told its closer than people think between UConn and VCU. That's one of the main reasons why he didn't commit on his official at VCU.

 

[husky99]

also hearing it is not a done deal.

 

[tentoes4rings]

I agree that he had every opportunity to commit this weekend but chose not to for some reason. He may not have his mind made up and wants to talk to his family about it. The more time that elapses, the more I like our chances. Paging Kemba Walker.

 

[aceboon]

Shaka is a great coach, and he obviously has more of a track record than KO, but I don't see how playing in a trapping D and launching 3s on offense is the best system for preparing you for the next level.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

He took an official to VCU but only an unofficial to Uconn.

Isn't that because he needs a plane ticket to go to Richmond? "Unofficial" versus "official" doesn't have anything to do with the seriousness of the kid's interest.

 

[BFieldHusky]

also hearing it is not a done deal.

Getting him back on campus this upcoming weekend would be huge. Hope it's being discussed.

@GiveNGobball

3h​

Just confirmed that Terry Larrier is down to VCU and UConn. Decision is coming soon per his AAU coach. @NYPost_Brazille reported it first.

I assumed "decision coming soon" to mean there would be no more visits, but I suppose I could be wrong.

To a New York City kid, Rose Hill is just fine and URI is scads better than the crapple we're forced to serve.
