Who's still in play?

[Jaybo]

After taking a look at the top 100 uncommitted recruits in 18,im seeing very few that I can see realistically committing here.most sights predict them committing eles where.my question is WHO?

 

[huskyinfl]

Probably more grad transfers

 

[Jaybo]

I really don't see KO landing Carey or reddish. And who's the akinjo kid? And how long have we been on him?

Have a good season and wait for the spring crop of decommits.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Guards: Jalen Carey, James Akinjo, Michael Devoe, maybe Eric Ayala
Wings: Cam Reddish, Landers Nolley, Isaiah Mucius, Iggy Brazdeikas
Bigs: Simi Shittu, Emmanuel Dowuona maybe, Dimon Carrigan

That wings list is legit . Still plenty of combinations that would leave us very happy about 2018. Gotta keep grinding

I think our best chances are Carey, Akinjo, Devoe, Nolley, and maybe Mucius/Carrigan.

People are freaking out about Mathis, but it's totally conceivable that he could have been as low as 8th on our "biggest wants" list

 

[husky429]

All but Shittu and Reddish are realistic. Imo

 

[Jaybo]

I thought he had a higher possibility of committing than most.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Cross Carey, Mucius, and especially Reddish/Shittu off that list now.

 

[uconnbill]

People are freaking out because UConn lost a recruit to the bottom dwelling Rutgers. That should and I mean never happen.

 

[Jaybo]

Cross Carey, Mucius, and especially Reddish/Shittu off that list now.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Stainmaster]

Cross Carey, Mucius, and especially Reddish/Shittu off that list now.

Why not all of them?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Why not all of them?

The rest we have a chance in of getting.

We all agree this is a bad loss for our program and the tide needs to turn with a commitment from a Top 100 recruit (several, in fact) sooner rather than later.

That having been said, you do realize that we have lost a "prioritized" recruit to Rutgers not that long ago... Point guard Myles Mack commits to Rutgers - Myles Mack, ranked #83 in the 2011 rankings.

That would also be the same year we lost Mo Harkless, #37 in the rankings, to St. John's... after he had already gone so far as to verbally commit to us.

I mention these actual historical events because when the words "never" are thrown around... they actually already have happened. And amazingly, though many on this board want to have amnesia about these things, they even happened to arguably the greatest coach in men's college basketball of the last quarter century... And no, I am not comparing KO's current situation to Coach Calhoun. Just pointing out a couple of historical facts.

the best recruiting job for KO for 2018 would be recruit and Keep Adams and Larrier

I think people are freaking out because losing your 8th best target to Rutgers says a lot about your chances of getting one or more guys in your top-7.

 

[AntG168]

Cross Carey, Mucius, and especially Reddish/Shittu off that list now.

Crossing Carey and mucius of the list is extremely pessimistic. We are still very much in play with both by all reports.

 

[UCweCONN]

Cross Ayala off that list too because, well, he isn't very good.

His best recruiting job would be to get them picked in the first round of the 2018 NBA draft.

Eric Ayala, top 75 ranked guard in 2018 with offers from Arizona, Oregon, Ohio State, OKST, Maryland, Xavier, Miami, Indiana, Nova, Cincy, Creighton, among many others, isn't very good?

I saw your subject title and had to wonder....a coach or a player?

If intended to be funny it's not working too well.

This is a case of rankings not always matching reality. I've seen him play three times in person and felt he's a solid mid-major. He isn't great at anything in particular and weak in a few areas. He wouldn't even have been on UCONN's radar but now that we're a mid-major, no one is off our radar.
