Thanks 3! How serious are Simon and Jackson about The Conn? I've had a couple people tell me the distance might be an issue.

Simon I know he and his family are fans of UConn. So with him I don't think distance will be a big factor. With Jackson, I'm not sure.

Nice, any news on Bennie Boatright?

Nothing recent. I'll check and let you know if I find anything.

Thanks man. I know Uconn is in on a lot of players from Cali. Anything on Devin Watson if he's still interested?

Pretty sure it's Boatwright, which is going to wreak havoc on this board as long as the current Boat is still here.

The staff is no longer interested in him to my knowledge.

Good call on the spelling, my bad

3/ what's your feeling on Jalen (pg), Jeter, & Govan? Who does Ollie want to add next with Prince? Also saw a tweet the UConn & UMass were ramping up talks with Swift? True or False on our part?

2015 should be a big class in size, and hopefully high quality. Say we don't fill the final scholarship this class and we automatically lose Napier, Kromah, Giffey, and Olander that's 5 open scholarships. Ali already has one so four are left.

From there the staff definitely wants to add a PG, big, and a wing. Jalen Adams right now is looking like the top PG target. Ollie is on him hard right now. We have a really good shot at him. With Chase Jeter it's really early. However, with Ollie watching him twice in three weeks is telling. Jeter is likely becoming a big target. As for Govan, we are also after him pretty hard. We also have a a really good shot at him.

With Swift, I am continually being told UConn has no interest in him. I'm not believing that tweet at all.

I think you jumped a class. With Hamilton, Cassell Jr. , and Lubin coming in that's already 3 of those scholarships used. If UConn doesn't use the 4th this year, then they would have 3 for next year and one is going to Prince Ali so that is 2 left.

Wow, yeah that was horrible. So yea we have one then lose Boat and Daniels automatically. That gives us 3. In that case the staff wants to definitely add a PG and a big. However, I was told they also wanted to add a wing after they got a PG and big. So maybe they are thinking someone leaves early or something. I don't really want to speculate about that though because there are so many possibilities.

I can't imagine Tolksdorf sticking around all 4 years. That might open one up along with somebody leaving early.

Your line of thought isn't off-base, but as a general matter of board conduct, that isn't something we speculate about around here.

 

[TheConnRules]

Ok no more speculating on this topic. Just let it play out and see what happens.

Kids usually don't leave in their 4th year and turn down a 50 G scholarship.

Who are you talking about Tolksdorf? He's a sophomore
