2026 Recruiting: Update on Qayden Samuels - Visiting This Weekend

[AntG168]

i don't think it's as much about being out of state as it is $$.

This is a weird year with NIL - lot's of pause from programs that need to find ways to distribute the load, so if one program decides to go all in on one player, they may just get them.

If UConn offered him equal money as Arkansas….he’d be a razor back.

I think that's the case.

She had already decided to transfer yet she was there with Azzi and others at NYC draft for Paige. Guessing she made friends for life and liked it here just didn’t work out basketball wise.

In that same thread as HuskyNan's comment another fan of the women's team said she wasn't that highly ranked as a recruit but Geno decided to take her to fill out the class. She was never expected to play much. She got some run in 2023-2024 because of all the injuries. I can't comment on any of that because I don't follow the women's team much.

Why in the world would we waste even a smidge of time on the kid if this were true?

Landrew was a football player, right? Likely more PF than SF and would be a beast in the weight room.

Just because someone played football doesn't mean you make them a PF. Bizarre comment. Have you watched him play at all?

We’ve been recruiting him for awhile. I’m sure when we first started he was appreciative and excited to have attention from the hometown school.

But as things start to pick up and it goes from offers to what he wants he could not want to come here when it comes to it.

Like Ant said a lot of CT kids simply just want to leave the state. Except for our 7’ loveable giants (DC and AD).
