That was pretty cool. He had a good time doing it.

Well, when he said the University of....... I ruled out VCU and thought it was us since it is Virginia Commonwealth University.
 
I wonder if he actually had the other shirts in the bag given how indecisive he was being.
 
Serious question, have we ever gotten a recruit who did one of these press conference things?

Afraid of Daniel Hamilton and not getting many minutes I bet. Seems like a nice kid though, good luck to him.

Yeah. That must be it.

Oh well like everyone I had my hopes high when he said University first. Looks like we will strike out on our top wings for '15.
 
We aren't getting any of the kids today and will have to wait until next week. UConn recruiting is always very strange and agonizing.
 
The potential positive here is that he chose VCU... because Jones already verbally committed to UConn.

The more I think about it, this wouldn't shock me. All along, Jones and his camp was steadfast in a spring time announcement. A sudden, shocking bump makes no sense. UNLV would still be there this spring...........just sayin.
 
Oh well. That was a letdown. It's Jones or bust. Hopefully Jones picks UConn tomorrow and the Mack thing turns out to be UConn telling Mack that Jones pulled the trigger for them before he did. Maybe wishful thinking. For any VCU fans that might come here, I'm not implying that this is the case due to some UConn superiority complex. It's more wishful thinking on my part that UConn doesn't end up striking out on all their targeted wings, which might turn out to be the case.

If that ends up happening, then that IMO is a huge disappointment coming off an NC and the unveiling of our new hoops practice facility. It certainly looked like KO was killing it on the recruiting circuit this past summer. If we end up landing Jones and/or Stone, then I'd say KO murdered it on the recruiting front. Let's see what happens next.

With all this said. This is pretty much how it's always been even under JC. Lots of swings and misses. The signing of a few under-the-radar recruits who turn out to be better than many of the plan-A, B and even C recruits. And then they go about their business of winning National Championships beating the snot out of teams that are laden with a slew of burger-AAs. I can live with that. It would be nice though to see us win more of these Plan-A recruiting battles.

So will UConn. Jones is our last wing target.
 
So, do VCU fans give the staff credit for landing Mack, or do they pat themselves on the back for a job well done with their Twitter outreach?

Not if UConn forced Jones's hand. You can say that now, but we both have no idea what happened to have Jones make such a drastic switch in his stance. Maybe UConn wasn't going to be there in the spring.

Fans. Always the fans.

Afraid is a poor choice of words. But Hamilton's presence was a significant deterrent, from my understanding. Larrier is much more likely to play the 4 at VCU than Hamilton is here.

It's just as likely that UNLV told him they were looking elsewhere if he didn't commit in the fall. Who is this mystery wing we're recruiting that would have taken Jones spot?

Incidentally, Tim Fontenault (sports guy at the DC) insists that the staff told him they only have one more open scholarship for next year, which seems weird, since it would mean that they've already guaranteed a scholarship to Amilo for next season.
 
Did his 10 year brother make that highlight video? Maybe windows movie maker is the height of technology in South Carolina.

I don't know, was it "always" the case that Calhoun was losing kids to mid-majors when they were in the Big East? He was losing them to Duke, or Kentucky, but schools like VCU? And was Mack even a plan-A?
