VCU transfer Samir Doughty visiting tomorrow

[Huskyforlife]

We're at a point where when no smoke comes out of a visit, we can rationalize that as a good sign.

I can confirm that there is no hangman confirmed puzzles in this post. So far anyway.

Well at least we are spared of a week's worth of incessant speculation, worthless arguments, and player comparisons that ultimately lead to pages of tangent arguments.

These days no news is actually better than news

I heard from an inside source confefe

Covfefe?

Covfefe?

Not in the Boneyard.

To be fair, the most recent kid to commit to UConn was David Onuorah visited and I don't remember hearing anything about his visit

 

[UConnNick]

I would sign Charles Manson right now if he had a jump shot!

Maybe we could get Charlie on some sort of work/release program. At least he would be a little scary for our opponents. Would you really want to drive the lane against him? He might take it personally. We'd also enjoy the added benefit of having him as a guest lecturer in Criminology classes.

I could see that - based on the mindset of 95% of the academia they would welcome him with open arms

We should have a Vatican like recruiting chimney when if the white smoke comes out that means we landed the recruit. Hey it works for The Pope.

Imo no news is good news. Everyone that came here tweeted right away how much they loved it... then they don't commit. I'll take no news.

A school hosts you buys you dinner, etc.. Pretty hard to trash the rogram.

 

[Zionn]

Just committed to Auburn

"We don't need him anyway"

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I got tired of seeing the subject line saying "tomorrow," kinda like seeing Moretti referred to as "Italian kid."

When there's no effort to standardize on the year plus the word "Recruiting," I figure that the recruit won't choose UConn.

I also devalue highly confident/arrogant posts that contain improper syntax or apostrophes in words used to pluralize.

It simplifies things, and gives me a good alternative to being annoyed.

Just a couple of tips to make life less unpleasant sometimes.

I pitty the fool who still cares at this point. I've moved on to the 2018 class

 

[80shusky]

Never liked him anyway!

 

[pj]

Was worried about his character and effect on the locker room. He was a 2018 recruit. If we get Jalen Carey to go with Alterique and Vital, we'll be OK.

Losing out to lots of P5 schools. Conference and opponents DO matter.

Some bad P5 schools, too.

 

[TopDogs]

Honestly this doesn't bother me at all. It never felt like we were in it. Maybe because there was so little news on this one. I've moved on and am already looking at 2018.

 

[huskiesnyc]

Don't kid yourself this would have been a very nice get. Time to put 2017 to rest and hope the 2018 recruiting class is significantly better.

 

[djct1999]

This 2017 off season will prove to be an inflection point for the men's program. Either the staff will rebound nicely with a strong 2018 class or this will officially be the end of UConn basketball as we have grown to thoroughly enjoy over the past 25 plus years. Quite frankly, it could really go either way.

 

[scotty0330]

Hard to argue with that. There is no momentum heading into 2018....

 

[3rdbass]

How many days was his visit? He sure did choose fast after it? It seems like our recruiting is getting worst now. LOL!

Absolutely true.

Bruce Pearl

In the flimflam category of sales of shadiness ... including a propensity to turn in like shadowy characters ... a Pearl recruit is a tainted recruit.

I think this is it. On his UConn visit, they would have praised his basketball and showed him his fit on the court, but he was probably interrogated about the things that went wrong in VCU, his character issues, and expectations were set for him character-wise at UConn. At Auburn he was courted, period. He went where he'd be welcome even if he didn't or couldn't change.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Whose plan F?

 

[SouthBayHusky]

Absolutely true.

Why did it suddenly start to matter this year? Come on with the conference bro

There is momentum, the staff is in a great spot with a number of 2018 prospects. Samir doughty would have been a nice player to groom but this isn't the end of the world imo.
