UConn among 4 schools prioritizing Jaiden Delaire

[huskiesouth]

I don't know man, I love UConn for it's athletics and academics, but if I'm a school-head and a great athlete and Yale says come on down I'm going. Future NBA or private sector business you're all set.

I applied to Yale out of high school. Really really wanted to go. Interviewed with a local bank president. Big office, perfect suit, totally intimidated. Little kid from Wolcott. Got tripped up on a trick question about drugs (pot) of which I had zero experience (1972). Prolly got labeled immature, pass.

Ended up at RPI which worked out.

At least you were kinda near Riccitellos.

Gotta have this one...he’s a special talent that checks so many boxes for us. It would be absolutely best case if he’s an early commit and then we start going big game hunting with Achiuwa and Cockburn

The fresh prince of delaire needs to be a Husky.

Delaire Up There

(I was going to photoshop a poster from the movie but then I realized there was no way to do that without looking super racist.)

Delaire Force One

 

[UC313]

This board will be delaire-ious with joy if signed.

Why drive a Mercedes when you drive a Bentley. Forget Yale go to Williams.

Forget it. It's the grad school that matters - unless ur of the top 0.5%

If this kid goes to Duke I will actually vomit

NE6 vs New Heights is going to be a must watch when they meet this season. We are essentially recruiting both of their entire starting lineups.

If he got an offer, it would make the most sense given his interests. EOD, we rank a fair bit lower as a destination anyways.

 

[superjohn]

We're in really good but want to close this out soon, he's very good.

You can vomit. If he goes to Duke I’ll puke.

Don’t Want De air Jordan and Cockburn really badly.

This guy and Mulcahy are the must gets for this class. We can’t lose elite Northeast talent anymore. Give me Mulcahy, Delaire and 2 of: Lecque, Quinones, Achiuwa, Akok, and Cockburn.

 

[dennismenace]

It's pretty simple, if he wants an NBA career UConn is his best choice. If not and wants to work in something like finance then maybe Stanford or Yale will be right for him.

Or get a BS/MBA in Finance/or Accounting over four years while in college, possibly Europe if not NBA for BB. Uconn business degrees highly respected in the business world. Or graduate in three years and get MBA in Ivy league in the off season. Pretty bright future possibilities!

 

[dennismenace]

Thats not even remotely true nowadays as long as you perform you will get NBA looks.

Uconn's reputation under JC according to one scout: "When you come from Uconn you are NBA ready." Hopefully we will return to that reputation under Hurley.

100% of people on the board would sign up for that. That's a Top 10 class.

No way Lecque comes here tho.

Agree to a point. But I think a class of Mulcahy, Quinones, Delaire, and Akok is a 100% realistic class.

Hes going to be a Husky if those are really his final four. Hes not going to play across the country. Where is Vanderbilt anyway? Yale can take care of his academics but likely not do much for his basketball career. Uconn ftw!

 

[Ewekon]

Vandy is a great school and is in Nashville. Fun town. SEC school.

Storrs is funner.

What’s a Vandy?

If you're not scared of Vandy it's because you haven't been paying attention. They have a top 5 class coming in, it's an elite academic school and Nashville is one of the best cities in the US.

I still think we get Delaire. But man we're gonna have to work for it.

 

[Paesano]

Vandy's coach had better pay attention to the attention the FBI is giving college sports.

It's the South, Jake. No place for a Yankee.
