We have two ESPN Top 100 recruits committed already (Bouknight and Gaffney). Of the five recruits that the staff has invested a lot of time in and has a pretty good chance of landing, 4 of them are Top 100 recruits:

Precious - #9
Kofi - #31
Akok - #39
Tre - #80
Wahab - NR

If we land any of Precious/Kofi/Akok/Tre that would give us 3 Top 100 recruits, which is a big achievement given the fact we are coming off back to back losing seasons and Hurley has only been at UConn for roughly 7 months.

With 3 Top 100 recruits, a top tier grad-transfer, and a scholarship saved for 2020 that would be a great start to Hurley's first recruiting (2018 doesn't really count) class, and that seems to be the worst-case scenario of all of UConn's realistic scenarios for 2019. We could easily end up with 5 top 100 recruits in Hurley's first full recruiting class.

Also food for thought, as of today the rest of the 11 AAC teams have zero commits from ESPN's top 100... yes ZERO. Hopefully Penny can change that at Memphis. This makes what Hurley has done so far even that more commendable.
