Visitors for First Night

In Borges article recapping first night he named the 3 recruits we know attended but made reference that there were others as well. Anyone know who?

I’m assuming they would have announced it seeing as they announced a 2022 kid was attending.

Does anyone know if Akok and JG are still inactive?

JG inactive. Back in a week. He'll be 100% to start the year.

Akok back tomorrow. Only missed a practice or two. Small injuries.

Looking at shoulders and jaw lines, Polley looks to be as tall or slightly taller than Carlton and Akok, Whaley and Springs all about the same height (6'9"?).

To me it is the opposite as Carlton looks slightly taller than polley and is definitely taller at the shoulder level which means the most.

Moreso than any other sport, the college basketball season really sneaks up on you. I think it's because they've started having true practices in September. Am I the only person here that just realized we're less than three weeks away from the first real game?

You're definitely not the only one here that realizes the season is a couple weeks away. I have the schedule taped to my laptop for a couple weeks now. I haven't missed a radio or tv broadcast for a game including exhibitions since the mid 80's, there's only a few I haven't watched live in recent years because of the late starts in the AAC but usually watch them at 5 AM, gotta love DVR's

I could be wrong but I thought as I recall, Calhoun got involved with the recruiting of Marcus Camby very late, and Calipari already had him pretty much locked up for UMass. So it was not that big a disappointment for JC.

You are correct.

He looks a lot different than I remember.

I agree with not being a failure on the recruiting front but on the scouting in state talent, JC missed on a kid right out of Hartford that should have been pursued a bit more vigorously

Wouldn’t have mattered what JC did with MC since Squid was arriving with a Brinks truck right behind him!
 
Camby is by far the biggest miss we've ever had. He was the best player in the country, had he teamed up with Ray Allen we would have an extra championship or two and it probably could have been one of the best college basketball teams ever.

To JC's credit, before he came along UConn, missed out on a ton of in state talent, Rocket Rod Foster, John Pinone, Harold Jensen, Charles Smith, Soup Campbell, Chuck Alexinas (at first), Sly Williams, Michael Adams, Mike Gminski, John Bagley (who I knew btw). With the exception of course of Corny, Mike McKay, and Norman Bailey. IIRC Chris Smith was one of JC's first big in state recruits.

Usually recruits give an indication to the coaching staff they are considering other options. JC was blind sided by Curly’s decision.

We could not afford him

And in that same time period, Wes Matthews and John Garris.

Billy Curley to BC hurt

BC never beat us while Curley was there. He might have taken us to new heights in those years but he picked the local favorite. He's now the head coach at Emerson College.
