Trey Patterson to announce June 18th

[RollBlobXU]

One issue with the rankings is class size. For example, Wojo has had the following class ranking: 18, 74, 108, 59, 22, 12,105, 7 (avg. 50th). The 108 class in 2018 was 1 scholarship and it went to Joey Hauser, a top 50 recruit. Roster balance skews the numbers over the short term, for example Hurley had to rebuild the roster when he took over, thus the ability to offer playing time at a storied program rejoining the Big East is an easier sell than backing up Markus Howard. Now UConn has a very deep team this year and it will be interesting to see the recruits Hurley can bring in with less playing time to go around. I suspect Xavier will be a victim of their own success this year (the '21 recruiting class), the past two classes were very strong, now in 2021 we don't have much immediate playing time to offer. Lastly, transfers should probably be accounted for in some capacity as transferring has become omnipresent.

This is a fun discussion and happy to have UConn joining the BE. We desperately needed a team that can win in March, the NBE has been carried by 'Nova with many programs underachieving in the tournament. Cough cough, Cooley, Wojo and McDermott.

So you had to use logic to crush our hopes?

well, I guess if he was so sure he was headed to Villanova he would have been born this week instead

It's all about wins and losses @PChoops. That hasn't started yet. All I can say is the majority of fans on the Boneyard are excited about DH, the direction of the program and the staff's ability to recruit. It's all conjecture now but I promise you that the UConn fan base is ready to support our team. Good things are happening in Storrs.

If we can't use the rankings, then how do we evaluate who the better recruiter is?

The ones who choose UConn are better.

If UConn is good, it's good for college basketball and the conference. I'm interested to see how you guys play against Butler and Creighton.

That old PC board got pretty crazy 15-20 years ago. Then there was the UMess board during the years that Calhoun "was scared to play Calipari".

Absolutely how could I forget the UMass board alexd

 

[Rocktheworld]

the NBE

Welcome, friend

 

[The Viking]

Gotta give props to PChoops, he can take it. cant wait for the BE to start again.

Zero doubt that recruits are only able to see Boeheim's forehead and above during a Zoom as he spends half the time muted.

 

[Waquoit]

It's hilarious the lengths you go to to avoid complimenting Dan Hurley

He was holding out hope that DH would never land a big man. Now that he's brought in Sanogo, the guy is bereft. He has nothing.

 

[M.S.G.]

Keep reading that he's a Nova lean, Danny has 2 weeks to make up the ground!

There's another reason for that. They do not want recruits parents to see JBs finger up to his knuckle in his snout.

 

[HuskyInfinity]

Wouldn’t recruiting Patterson be in direct opposition to Nova getting Longino too? I think I would prefer the latter tbh.

Nova will have 4 or 5 scholarships open like us so could definitely take both. Hopefully we get one though

Completely different positions. If anything it would help to secure Longino. Talent likes to follow talent

longino is a SG and patterson is a combo forward. i could see Nova sweeping diggins, longino, and patterson.

No Longino is a big guard, Patterson plays in the paint.

FWIW only three crystal ball picks are in for Patterson. And there's a new feature now for people making selections to indicate the confidence in their pick (10 being very confident) - the three picks have a confidence rating of 6, 6, 7 respectively. Jerry Meyer was a 6.
