What is UConn's recruiting philosophy that produced highly-ranked 2022 class?

[HooperScooper]

Article from Dave Borges. A bunch of recruiting information.

And when the staff really wants a player, when Hurley & Co. envision a guy as a perfect fit for their program, and they get him on campus for an official visit and give him a taste of the program’s culture? More often than not, that player commits. Just ask James Bouknight. Or Andre Jackson. Or Clingan, Karaban and Corey Floyd, Jr., who currently comprise UConn’s 2022 recruiting class, ranked No. 3 in the nation by 247Sports.

What is UConn’s recruiting philosophy that produced highly-ranked 2022 class? Dan Hurley aims high

A look at UConn men’s basketball’s recruiting philosophy that’s worked so well this...

Is it just me or did that article essentially say nothing?
Hurley locks in on guys? Absolutely no insight whatsoever.

It's the equivalent of saying the key to winning is outscoring your opponent.

It isn't rocket surgery. Have a good eye for talent and fit, make and maintain connections, and work hard. And not be in the AAC.

Is this something like skeet shooting fish in a barrel?

Also some information on Starling in the article. Nothing new though.

There appears to be one shooter/scorer the Huskies covet that is still standing: JJ Starling, a 6-4 guard from New York who plays out of La Lumiere School in Indiana.

Starling visited UConn in the spring, along with Maryland, Alabama and Syracuse. He visited Stanford more recently and appears to be lining up visits with Duke, Northwestern and Notre Dame.

Certainly, the UConn staff would love to get him back on campus this fall. It appears the Huskies are in for a tough recruiting battle with four or five other schools, and whenever Duke enters the picture, even with Coach K’s impending retirement, that makes things even more difficult (See: Filipowski, Kyle).

Yeah, pretty much. Slow news week I guess. Lol

Somewhere in this town?

Surprised there’s no mention of our key strategy: feeding false info to recruiting sites to create momentum which brainwashes kids to commit.

Seems to me it's along the lines of: Be realistic in who you target, target players that fit your plan and be able explain to a recruit why he will thrive in your program. Give examples of other players who have grown as part of your team, that your program can be a path to success. And walk your talk along the way as the team continues to get better.

He must not be a Syracuse grad.
