Where do we go from here?

Why are you offended by a question that’s on everyone’s minds? It’s fun to discuss what might potentially be our next moves. It’s crazy that expressing mild disappointment about anything on this board gets you labeled as hater or non believer.
I'm pretty confident that I am part of everyone and I know with absolute certainty that it is not on my mind.

What is on my mind is excitement for the upcoming season and a ton of curiosity about how quickly our incoming freshman can develop.

Well I can tell you you’re wrong cause you clicked on the thread. So now what?

It's just way premature. We've got a good team. Hurley landed two solid recruits. Losing out on guys we weren't expected to get doesn't change anything.

I clicked on the thread initially to see if I had missed an announcement from on of our targets officially committing elsewhere. I responded to the op, talking him off the ledge, as there is quite a bit to be happy about with this program.

If you want to wallow in misery, slighty more than half a year removed from watching our team cut down the nets feel free. I can think of better things to occupy my mind.

Flagg sure. A hometown kid and then the cousin of a current commit who we stalked this summer?

Most of the threads are talking about recruiting lol. There’s not much to talk about for this season until it starts

Thats essentially what this thread is. Who are we going after next?

Now I’m wallowing in misery? Engaging with people here is such a waste of time.

What’s premature? The thread is asking what we think is coming next, it’s not like they demanded some immediate retribution for missing on the recruits. It’s just meant for discussion on a topic “most” of us care about. It’s not that deep.
 
Emeka Okafor in April or May. Charlie Villanueva in June. Shabazz Napier in April. It usually works out for us. Not worried in the least.
Khalid el Amin and either Rip or Donyell were also late in the year, wasn't Rip the Dairy Bar recruit?

I'm with you, these reactions are odd.
 
Tough couple days on the old cruiting trail.

I don’t think we have any other offers out to 24s.

Do we pivot to purely 25s and then portal?

This sure stings right now, but I know this will only motivate this staff.
Do you understand how many recruits we`ve missed out on in the last 25 years and we still have 5 titles? I learned a long time ago to not get too worked up over who doesnt come here and spend my time and energy on who does. I remember in 2010 how that recruiting class got dogged for basically being a class that was a bunch of guys we settled for because we missed out on the bigger names. Remember we got "the other Lamb"? Yeah, turns out that class turned to to be our most successful class by winning two national titles.

Retaining Samson for 24-25 is going to be very important, I suspect. Samson and Singare should be fine at center, but if he's gone, woo boy. We should be pretty good at 3/4.

Diarra? (X) / Nowell
Ball / X
Ross / Abraham
Stew / Roumoglou? (X)
Samson / Singare

Definitely feels like we're a 2/3 light in the recruiting ranks. It's hard to get quality transfers in as backups and our starters are probably going to be set (though maybe 1 of the freshmen underachieves and we'll transfer recruit over them). We'd also need another guard if Diarra doesnt take his 5th year (or doesnt improve).

Sanon reclass is probably best case scenario, but those are always hit or miss.

I would love it if like a VJ Edgecome went to Duke and we could steal away someone like Darren Harris if he de-committed (former teammate of Abraham). Maybe we can get back in with Jahki Howard. His recruitment seems to be still spinning along.
College hoops will. All for regular reshuffling of the deck between players leaving and NIL. Offer most kids a million or two and they would go to Bangladesh U.

I don’t think understand the point of recruiting threads lol. It’s to speculate on who will come
UConn. At this point we don’t have anyone to settle on because we haven’t offered anyone else in the class which is why I posed the question. Go yell at a cloud.

Stressing about 2024-25 is premature. Maybe it’s the phrase “where do we go from here”. Sounds helpless to me, something you’d say when you can’t see a way out of some predicament. It will work out.

I get that, but no one's tone has been that strong. It's mostly "crap, that's not ideal, these were our main targets" and then "where do we start to pivot towards?" and I hadn't seen many overreactions that would warrant words like stressing or wallowing or even the word you've used twice, premature.

Filling the class of 2024 and then moving to the top targets of 2025 is here, it's not premature at all. Discussing it certainly isn't.

But alas, we should be talking about the actual topic, which was kind of his point.

I think you’re injecting a lot into the statement. “Where do we go from here?” means what it says. What’s the plan after missing on our 2024 targets

Not yelling and have no problem with what you were saying. I was making my own point. Dont be so sensitive.

Stressing about UConn basketball takes up about 65% of my daily brain power! But nobody is that stressed, it’s just a conversation on a message board, I don’t think anyone said we’re doomed?

where do we go from here? What do we do?

In fairness, your post about Cincinnati’s recruiting relative to ours was embarrassing.

It's tough to recruit guys after losing Jalen Gaffney and Rahsool Diggins. These guys talk.

This post makes absolutely zero sense.
 
Get Dylan Harper on campus for the banner unveiling.
