It's about Karaban. It's Super Bowl worthy stuff in the UConn private chat.

What’d he say? Trillys UConn info isn’t great, he’s been quite a few times with UConn related things.

Ouch... want this kid

The kid is really good and would be great in UConn's system, but I think the Huskies are already pretty stacked at the 2 and 3 positions so I wonder if the staff reached out but didn't pursue him that hard or he just wasn't interested in UConn. They have other more pressing needs so not a big deal.

The following schools have checked in on Tyler Cochran (@captaintc23) he tells TPR: USF Rhode Island UConn New Mexico College of Charleston


Tyler Cochran 6'3 225. Older player [2 years at Northern Illinois, 1 year at Ball State, 2 years at Toledo, transferred to Minnesota but never played after off-season foot surgery]. His last year at Toledo he was Second Team All MAC and the Co-Defensive Player of the Year. He averaged 14 ppg, 6 boards, 2 assists. Based on his list of other schools seems like hopefully we could get him here as a role player. Personally, I love the idea of a bigger, defensive, veteran guard as an option off the bench.

Cochran to URI. Love this pickup:

He does. Have to say I am pretty impressed with what he has done in creating three completely different teams in three straight years. Upgraded talent each year, with barely a holdover year-to-year.

Their 8 man rotation right now is a good fit on paper with Zuby, Hopkins, Mitchell and Prey up front and Jackson, Sanon, Sellers and Darling in the backcourt.

That should be a top 3 team. I do like how UConn potentially matches up though.

At this point how you see them matching up on paper by position? Just curious as a SJU fan. This years SJU team entirely different from last years. Can’t even scout last year for both teams. Curious on breakdown?

There was a lot of pearl-clutching when he didn't commit to UConn. Lamentations about Hurley tragically not being able to get/retain high-level local talent.

Turns out maybe we knew what we were looking at and made a shrewd recruiting decision. Didn't deter Donovan from coming here.

I'm not so sure about this interpretation of events. Sometimes it's a fortuitous recruiting miss, and the player doesn't live up to their billing. :cough: Timberlake :cough:

I don't think that's the case here though, IIRC we backed off pretty early which is why posters were upset

That's possible. It's also possible the disinterest was mutual. I had a source in the Griffiths camp at the time and I don't think he gelled with Luke for whatever reason. It happens.
 
Head scratcher- Stumbled on a SportsGrid article predicting landing spots for Top 35 remaining uncommitted portal entrants. Has Desmond Claude at#7-- Prediction-UConn.. I just don't see it. Article released in last 5 hours or so.

I heard he was leaning to Florida with UNC have an outside shot.

Yeah, I have seen nothing potentially tieing him to UConn, and not sure he doesn't still hold a grudge for not recruiting him out of HS. Regardless, I can't see Hurley looking at him after we picked up Demary and Smith.
 
Any word on Tyler Betsey? Local kid, top 40 recruit a year ago, went to Cincy. Connecticut Gatorade Player of The Year two years in a row. Has been in the portal for a few weeks and is still unsigned. He's 6'8" 225lb.

Just surprised with Tyler being a local, highly ranked, talented kid that there's no buzz whatsoever.
