Tre Mitchell official visit

[Mooch82]

So does anyone have a consensus here? After Gaffney and Bouknight, there was the sentiment that they would commit in the following couple days. Not the case here?

We were the clear leaders for Bouknight and Gaffney at the time of their visits. Not the case here; in fact, we were clearly not the leader going into the visit (ND). Big difference.

It is encouraging that he hasn't committed to ND yet, though. My feeling is that we feel really good about Akok, and will push for a commitment on the visit this weekend or a couple days after. We'll then try to wrap up one of Wahab, Mitchell or Cockburn. Cockburn still seems to remain the first choice but hasn't been willing to pull the trigger yet or even schedule a visit (although we're apparently pushing for a visit later this month), so we stepped up the pursuit of Wahab and Mitchell to not only put the pressure on Cockburn, but as backup plans in case Cockburn shuns us for one of the big guns. Ultimately, we'll probably take the first of the three to commit...one in the hand better than two in the bush.

Reading is funDAMental.
Please re-read my posts. Not only did Chief predict the September dam break but specifically Gaffney and Bauknight before they announced.

In all fairness there were a couple other posters predicting bouknight and gaffney I believe before you did.

And the whole dam breaking thing in September is just logical. A month that has a bunch of official visits during a very strong signing period.

Chief did no such thing, but claims he did because he has a pathological hunger for the undying adoration of the masses.

You are incorrect even in your safe space.

The people who believe Chief actually has specific inside information are the same people who believe in psychics and astrology.

You're not wrong, but he's too insane to change. The rest of you, though, are supposedly the normal humans who are capable of not feeding the insanity. Hence, you are more guilty.

I'm not really a Chief basher. He can be funny and at times he sheds some light. I more often go for humor not anger with Chief.
Just saying that w/o any bashers, Chief and his fluffers ( real ones and jokers) take up a lot of space and detail many threads.

Chief I have to say this. We now know KO wasn't the greatest of coaches and fell short of expectations. But I have no doubt at all they taught Steve Enoch how and when to hedge, when to help and everything else. 2 years later he was dreadful on D (and couldn't finish on O). I hope the year off taught him something about hard work because between himself and KO he learned nothing, and to add more I guess none of his HS or prep coaches bothered either? I mean sometimes kids just don't get it, there's a better chance he doesn't get a lot better than he does. Hope he does ok but let's be honest he didn't work too hard to make himself better either. Change sometimes is a good thing hopefully for his sake it is because it was a rather unimpressive 2 years at UConn for a kid full of potential.

This. We were not dealing with a kid who hadn't learned the subtleties of how college coaches wanted them to play D. We were dealing with a kid who would have been yelled at by his teammates in a pickup game where nobody was playing real D for not playing enough D.

I have nothing against the young man. I'd love to see him succeed. But let's not pretend the primary reason he sucked while here was because the coaches were incapable of instructing anyone to even a minimal level.

Honestly the thing that gets me the most mad at Chief00 is that he speaks in the 3rd person. It's sooo annoying. Just speak normally. Id have way more respect.

You throw far too many tantrums whenever people challenge or criticize you to credibly accuse others of dwelling in safe spaces.

Agreed. I don’t have a major problem with Chief, I enjoy a good portion of his posts. I just don’t think he had inner circle knowledge with KO’s staff and don’t think he knows any more than the rest of now. He’s taken some educated guesses recently that proved to come true, it’s as simple as that.

He is closer to an insider than I am!

Some learn slower than others - God Bless. Read the Dam Break thread and these other posts.

Yes, you heard these things from Boneyard posters.

See all above posts on our first two commitments. Stain you are looking silly.

 

[Chief00]

Uh D'D'Oh?!?!?!?!?! Chief making a Tre Mitchell prediction, and proving to all the casual fans that he is connected?

What a power move.

These posts are a response to Stain’s comment that Chief did not call the first two commitments. Nothing to do with Mitchell.

 

[Stainmaster]

You either make vague claims that don’t pertain to the specific predictions you say you made after the fact, or you regurgitate what other posters and journalists have already told us. Perhaps you should take a cue from them and ease up on the constant demand for validation. Your constant search for participation trophies sends a bad message to the younger generation.

I watched three complete games while Steve was in prep and what we saw at UConn was how he played in those games. He was poorly motivated when it came to defense. In one game he was yanked quickly and sat out for the remainder of the half because of poor defense.

Some players can be motivated with a new coach/coaching style. Others can’t.

We watched year after year Thabeet rebounding a ball bring it down to his waist and get stripped. That was under a hall of fame coach. Carleton rarely does this. What does that imply. Nothing other than when we are upset with someone we point out all their failures and dismiss their accomplishments. We do the opposite when we like someone.

I would be thrilled with a class of Gaffney, Bouknight, Akok, and Wahab(I think Mitchell goes to ND and I am not very confident on Cockburn). Add Achiuwa to that group and I will personally build the Dan Hurley statue outside of Gampel!

It would have been so much more on point if the last sentence read "KembaStepback would have way more respect."

My friend is Karl Hobbs nephew. He said Hobbs told him Enoch just couldn’t the defensive concepts. The staff worked hard with him but he couldn’t catch on.
