Sometimes coaches are 99.9% certain a recruit is coming, and then they receive a shock surprise. So, even coaches are known to have false expectations.

NewNothing has turned!!

It is called recruiting. Other schools are allowed to recruit whom they want when they want. Just like we are.

But best of luck to the others in this one

If I had more time on my hands, I would find the permalink. Someone else asked him on the other board and posted his response here, it wasn't me.
 
You have plenty of time on your hands.

Im not all that familiar with Ozzie. I know that he is right most of the time but does anyone know if he has ever been wrong about recruits in the past?

I think it's safe to say Waters has no interest in UConn.

It also doesn't sound like UConn has been going as hard after him since we signed Gilbert.

U r setting yourself up for disappointment if u think anyone is infallible. He is right a lot but no one gets them 100%.
 
I've always pointed out that JC and staff once popped a champagne cork to celebrate landing their top target, Bill Curley. Only to have him change his mind and commit to BC the next day. Even the insidiest of insiders can be wrong.

It worked out ok for us - since getting Curley probably means no spot for Donyell Marshall the next year.
 
Kentucky officially offered Diallo today. Finkelstein just tweeted it. Going to be even better now when he commits here and we beat out K and Cal

When I think of recruiting misses and Boneyard hysteria I think of Brandon Bass.
 
Everyone might as well stop recruiting Waters right now. He's Duke bound, no question about it.

Someone posted a while back that he hates the BY due to the criticism his friend KO receives, hence why he stays away.

Without having seen the other site, I'd be very surprised if criticism of our head coach is confined to this board.
 
We were pretty early in on hamidou, similar to Adams I'll be disappointed if we don't land him. KO has recruited the heck out of him since he was ranked 50-100, I mean last year he was quoted as essentially saying uconn was leading his recruitment.

Other site is more tame, not a lot of people standing on their soapbox preaching about coaching/ x&os. Not to say KO has never deserved criticism, i'll be the first one to support him attending some coaching clinics to help him coach offense...
 
The UK rivals folks are certain they're gonna get Diallo, so let's pack up shop.

We're also larger in size, hence there's going to be more people expressing any given point of view.

We've been early on so many others in the past and we were their early favorites too. They're kids, change their minds. If he wants to be a Husky he will, if he wants to fall for the UK BS he will. We have no control but KO will find the right guy no matter how it turns, that's the good news.

yeah thats probably the case , though i've seen some smaller sized message boards have some nut jobs posting.
 
Looks like Thornton will probably end up in Kansas, has Miami in his final four list, so much for wanting to go closer to home out west. Wish we had contacted him in the least, a pure point would go a long way with our roster in '17.
 
Waters has now been offered by Duke, Kentucky and Kansas. Find it strange that he is ranked around 50 overall and 70 something by Scout.

Only reason he's ranked that low is because of his height. Kid'n play.
