THE KASONGO THREAD - 10/4 and beyond

[Calhoun's Court]

I will defend myself when it's all set and done whichever way it occurs.

IMO you don't need to defend yourself.

Just keep doing what you do.

I appreciate all the insight and news.

I enjoy your stuff! You have your act together! Between you, and tcf, ace boon, caw and several others, I've felt this forum has gone through a big upgrade! You will go far in life!

Hey, don't change a thing! I'm not on Twitter or follow the recruits every statement. However, it's obvious you put a lot of work into what your report here. Many of us live for your updates & articles. It makes a lot of us old men happy. LOL Maybe someday, we'll be reading your stories on some of those "Big Boy" sites!


PS - I still don't believe you're 16 though!

I'll add in 99, into that statement....

Don't let cranky people get under your skin- they will always be around and you have to just ignore them and carry on.

Your posts are the most interesting thing about this process outside of a post that says "_______" just committed to UCONN.

Has more ink ever been spilled over a kid ranked this low before?

 

[uconnforlife]

Imagine what this board would be like if this happened with Abu

 

[upstater]

I think this kid is only ranked low because of the probability of this happening to anyone who went after him.

People are reacting based on his reported play against higher ranking bigs! They were excited about Colson who did also did well but were concerned his height would be a liability on defense.

No one should be hating on others here that are relaying info like 3 does. It keeps the interest level high during the offseason, especially all the recruiting news. The lesson learned is that predictions and crystal balls are stupid when they involve decisions being made by high schools kids. Keep reporting all the great news regarding visits, camps, aau statistics, etc. I think we all enjoy reading that kind of stuf, and it's the reason why I check this forum everyday. Let the recruits make their decisions. We'll all know soon enough. Keep up the good work.

Since this has become a music thread, here is my view....

 

[huskymedic]

c k Corey Evans -- btw who the c k is Corey Evans?

The DudeofWVA's roundball cousin...

It really is bizarre. All this hype and we don't even know if the kid can play.

Originally I thought UConn's compliance department should be on top of the Phase1 program but when someone posted that some kids from that program got clearance and some didn't I realized that there is no way of evaluating if the kid has the academic requirement until he completes his schooling.

The somewhat ironic thing about the people attacking @3uconn is that they are basing their bashing about the Kasongo news off of tweets from some wannabe coach and Zags both are basically twitter nuts also.

Not saying UConn gets Kasongo, but it's a fun irony.

 

[jslack03]

@AdamZagoria: So it sounds like UConn is out for @RayKasongo32 ...could end up at Oregon but unclear for the moment


@RayKasongo32: @adamzagoria smh not true ...

 

[uconnforlife]

Kasongo just tweeted that Zags was wrong and then deleted the tweet a minute later......I give up

 

[upstater]

I'm glad Ollie put the hammer down.

A couple hours. That's it.

You guys gotta admit...this is kind of entertaining.

[UConNick]

WTF x100000

 

[3uconn]

I'm telling you guys this right now, I just talked with Kasongo and he said he talked to coach 10 minutes ago and the reports of UConn not recruiting him anymore are completely FALSE. Check my twitter for more updates. Thanks for doubting me guys!

Are the Phase1 guys TRYING to drive Kasongo to UConn? If they're the source of that rumor, what are they trying to accomplish?
