I'm curious which one said "UConn sucks"??
I chilled with Khairi Fortt (Cincinnati Bengals LB) a former four star player when he was being recruited by UConn a couple years ago. I was pitching him to play for UConn and he literally laughed in my face and said UConn sucks. Just last week Wilkins chilled with my cousins friend and also laughed when UConn was mentioned. That's the mentality of theses 3/4 star kids, they really get big headed when they get offers from BC, Pitt, Penn State, Ohio State, Note Damn etc.
Yes we have Newsome, Stewart, Boyle, Thomas, but the truth is Boyle was committed to BC (who by the way steals CT top players almost every year) before he committed to us because of coaching changes at BC; Graham committed to Florida before transferring here and was also a BC commit before he committed to FL ; Newsome as talented as he is was only offered by UConn and UMass according to rivals, so its obvious who his choice was going to be. Who knows who he would have chosen if P5 schools like FL or Ohio State would of offered. Noel Thomas only P5 offer was Rutgers.
I just wish that these top CT players give UConn a chance instead of leaving to the likes of Ohio State because of they're brand, instead they should help build a bigger brand here at UConn. Look at all the top recruits of this year in CT not one chose UConn:
Christian Wilkins - has a top 4 of Stanford, Penn State, Notre Damn, and Ohio State
Chris Clark - Michigan commit
Jarvis Miller - Penn State commit
Zach Allen - Northwestern commit
Anthony Palazzolo - BC commit
Anthony Guidice - Syracuse commit
Evan Adams - Syracuse commit
William Harris - BC commit
Brandon Ginnetti - Syracuse commit
Brandon Feamster - Duke commit
Sharrieff Grice - BC commit
Quentin Harris - Duke commit
