Dakari Johnson would be a huge get. I didn't know we were recruiting him. He's a 6 '10 center and ranked #12 on ESPN

 

[husky99]

Long long long long shot... we seem late to the race alot...

Can't hit a homer without taking a swing.

 

[husky99]

True, but the strike zone seems larger lately

 

[kelde1wd]

Also very true. Trying to stay optimistic.

Can't hit a homer without taking a swing.

lets hope for an intentional walk

Any big looking for instant gratification has an opportunity now. Guards are pretty loaded so up front is where the opportunity lies. Dakari is local too, would love to pull a Deandre.

We could definitely use some interior beef

 

[uconNYC]

We'll have a very solid team next year, so I would really go for a bigman that can come in right away and clean the glass.

It doesn't have to be a "C' per se but at least a PF who has beef, can move people and is a solid rebounder..........we can work with who we have to fill in the center position..........

Maybe Kentan gets stronger, simply gets better and comes in as a solid player who knows he has a year....??

I believe Dakari is a long shot for us because of how late we are joining but here is a breakdown of the schools he is currently looking at from his mother

http://zagsblog.com/articles/dakari-johnsons-mother-breaks-down-his-six-schools/

The most interesting thing is they are looking for some serious playing time for him. All the schools she goes through she is talking about how they have or could have someone in the Center position already. They are also looking for a school that can develop bigs. Seeing we have 'unlimited' playing time on the table for him and because he is pretty local we do have a chance. He is also willing to take his time and choose the best option.

 

[husky99]

Long long long shot

Long long long shot

The only thing helping is that he is a spring recruit so there is time.

 

[TheChamps990411]

he wants to go somewhere hes "needed". there arent many more programs that need him than us. him at C,nolan at PF and DD at SF would be a very good young frontline.

I said this earlier. I think we have a good shot if Ollie can recruit him really hard.

This is what I asked today:
@B_WRecruiting: @KYCS_Recruiting is is true that UConn made contact with Dakari Johnson lately?
This is what I was told:
@KYCS_Recruiting: @B_WRecruiting That may be possible, but he is supposedly only considering Florida, Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio State and Syracuse
@KYCS_Recruiting: @B_WRecruiting It is possible for him to consider UConn. He does not have a so called "set list."
