What a great get Bouknight would be

[Huskybass]

Stud shooting guard from day 1. If the dam breaks tomorrow with Bouknight leading the way, I will be thrilled. I feel good about this one in many ways.

People get hung up on rankings, but from what I've watched and read, Bouknight and Gaffney are legit. Would be over the moon to grab them.

Who else was really looking forward to seeing that post “Bouknight a Husky” this morning? With the in the know posters telling us it’s a done deal I will feel we’re doomed until it’s official.

Let's face it, our path back to greatness requires finding the diamonds in the rough. If Hurley can identify the grossly underrated kids like Calhoun did, we have a bright future.

Bouknight's underrated because he missed a few months with an injury – out of sight, out of mind – and Gaffney's underrated because he's physically weak (easily correctable).

Honestly think Bouk is a top 30 recruit in this class. His only real weakness is a bit of tunnel vision, and while he'll never be the type of guy who initiates the offense, I've little doubt Hurley will be able to get him to do a better job of sharing the ball (and understanding how to do so effectively).

Gaffney hits the gym and he goes from a ~130 ranked recruit to a ~50 ranked recruit, if not higher. Excellent speed and quickness, very good shooter, very good passer. Needs to work on some game management PG (mental) skills, but so do most 17 year olds.

I love this backcourt.

Great post Matrim55.
Staff decisively reading between the lines of the ranking services and finding the talent Hurley wants for this program and his style of play. I'll be thrilled to get these two terrific players in the backcourt.

I now have a blister from hitting the refresh button.

The coaching staff’s effort is really inspiring to Chief. As Coach Hurley says finishing second on recruits means nothing. I stand by my prediction!
Note: Now here come the usual pessimistic critics posting rebuttals. LOL

I just want to be able to tell my kids, "I was there when the dam broke".

Thanks. Chief keeps being optimistic. Some of these dudes would have better sources if they weren’t so negative all the time. God Bless.

Chief is pretty much the only reason I come here every day.

No doubt brother Bouknight is everything you look for in a 2 guard. As usual I was right on him before anyone, while everyone was focused on Lester Quinones.

PS: Bouk is as talented if not more so than any recruit we are close with and that includes Precious.

No he's not, Precious could step on an NBA court right now and not look at all out of place.

Not taking anything away from Bouknight.

I think you will have the last laugh Chief. I hope so.

I truly think Bouknight is better then Hamidou at this point in HS. Y’all agree?

 

[HawkHusky]

F5. F5. F5.

No, but that doesn’t take anything away from him. They are/were both terrific.

I said as soon as he unofficially visited that he'd be my favorite get this year fwiw

He certainly fills the team's biggest need - a scorer to replace Jalen. His commitment alone will enable Hurley to keep the on-court performance going into 2018-19. If we can add more top talent alongside him, the college bball world will know that UConn's back.

Ran into Josh Pastner today at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta Kiesha Lance Bottoms International Airport.

Bouknight to UCONN.
