Thank you for the update. I am really surprised to see so many PG's still on the board with only 1 PF and 1 C getting looks.

Those are just the updates I saw last week, not all of the recruits UConn's looking at.

It looks like the staff still wants a true PG in this class in addition to a big.

3, if we get 2 more commits, where is the scholarship going to come from? Maybe Tolksdorf is on track to graduate in 3 years?

One less PG recruit for UConn

From Zagsblog:
SMU continued its wave of recruiting success Tuesday when Sedrick Barefield, a 6-foot-2 point guard from Corona (CA) Centennial, verbally pledged to head coach Larry Brown and the Mustangs.
“For those who don’t know I have officially committed SMU,” he Tweeted.
Ranked No. 85 in the Class of 2015 by Rivals, Barefield also had offers from Boston College, San Diego State and UConn, according to Future150.com.

I have no clue whether or not Tolksdorf is on track to graduate in 3 or 4 years.

I would say it's much more likely that someone leaves early, Purvis or DHam, or a transfer, speculate on your own.

We haven't been after him for a long time. That game that I thought UConn may have been there to watch him, they weren't. His mom told me they hadn't heard from the staff in a while.

Thanks 3Conn.

What do you know about Noah Dickerson? I've not heard of him associated with UConn, though I don't know a lot about him, other than he seems to similar to Lubin in build, height & possible game, from what little I've read. Maybe a higher ranked Lubin? Interesting new name for the list...

We offered him a while back. However, I'm under the belief that we stopped recruiting him for sometime. It looks like they are now trying to get back into his recruitment. He's AAU teammates with Will Jackson so that could help some.

I'm planning on talking with him on Thursday.

So now Kansas has a PG. Jalen Adams is maybe running out of top landing spots.

I think upstater saw the name Larry Brown and had a 1985 flashback. Kansas has no recent commits.
