Of course they didn't. But I get the feeling Betsey would have already committed if Flagg wasn't in the picture. The balancing act is why Dan Hurley gets the big bucks. He hasn't committed elsewhere yet.

This whole idea some people have that Betsey was at any point a lock is absolutely unsupported by any actual evidence. It's insane that it keeps getting repeated. Especially when the information that's actually out there points him away from UConn.

My opinion might not matter much to most, but NJHusky backed up what I said about this recruitment from the get go.

The only reason people felt good is because of the CT connection, but it’s really not an advantage.

Betsey has no great desire to come to UConn. The staff is doing their due diligence by reaching out to/recruiting a local guy. The only time there was really talk of UConn interest on his part was when there was whispers of Preston joining the staff.

You've been saying this for months. I don't understand why people don't get that. It really shouldn't be a surprise... he's always come across as ambivalent.

seems like a waste of time and resources at this point. we should not be doubling down on betsey it should be all hands on deck for ngongab and flagg. we need at least 1 of those 2.

Spreading too think with like 8 guys is too much, but these seem to be the 3 we’re actually pursuing, so no I don’t think it’s a waste.

Yeah I'm not really sure what the alternative is at this point. There's only 3 recruits we seem to still be after, and even if Betsey and Ngongba are longshots there's not really a recruit to reallocate that time too. There's only so much time to put into Flagg. I guess Edgecombe is the only other guy, but that's even more of a longshot

sounds like it will take A LOT of time and energy to make up ground with betsey at this point, time that would be better spent on ngongba, flagg and all the '25 guys, but if staff thinks it worthwhile than go for it.

You lose me when you say it's better spent on Ngongba. As an outsider we appear to be in a far better spot with Betsey. Ngongba just planned a bunch of visits and we didn't even get one. That's not exactly an encouraging sign he's coming here

i didnt realize that. i thought there was still hope for ngongba visit. also some bias there since 5* bigs are harder to land. but on the last page NJ hoops just said betsey never wanted to come here so that made it all seem like a waste of time that was potentially being compounded. guess it's flagg or bust to round out the class of 24...

Meh, that's like a 50-50 likelihood of The Boneyard these days.

Al Lewis was a basketball maven, and when he wasn't acting would find a coach who wanted scouting help (basketball staffs beyond a head coach barely existed in those days) and would go wherever he could to scout high school players or an upcoming opponent for a coach. Sort of a poor man's Bill Murray.

More proof that I'm older than dirt.

Maven. Great word. Shana Tova. It’s almost brisket time!


I used to go to Al’s restaurant in the city

Cincinnati I could see with the coaching connection. Alabama would be…a choice. If he doesn’t want to come here…next.

I can’t see scanning your choices and thinking, yes, Wes Miller is the star I want to hitch my wagon to.
