2022 Recruiting: Donald Hand Jr. Update

[UConn2SF]

According to the write-up this Virginia-area CG is currently being prioritized by UConn, Louisville, Virginia Tech, VCU, ODU, Clemson, NC State, Maryland, and LSU. Pretty cool connection between his father and Kevin Freeman, as former teammates at Paterson Catholic H.S. Feel very confident with KFree taking the lead here.

When did we fall out of the Corey Floyd Jr. sweepstakes? We were deeply involved as I recall?

Yes, for two seasons. Thomas and Freeman were class of '96 and Hand Sr. was class of '98. Hand Jr. stated in the article that Freeman is still a close family friend to the Hand's and he speaks to him nearly on a daily basis.

Don't disagree with your targets.. How tall are JW/CF?? My recollection is that they were more CG/SG size than W size.. Could be wrong..And of course they could add an inch or two before landing on campus(if we're lucky) like Hawkins..Looks promising on Hand with the KFree connection..

You're a blast at parties, aren't you?

First thing I thought of, too.

Don’t think we’ve fallen out, we’re pretty heavily involved. He released a top 7 and then got a Nova offer. It might be down to us and Nova.

Maybe it was Tim Thomerson.............

How tall are JW/CF??

around 6'3 and 6'4, respectively, but given that floyd seems like priority 1, would we really pass on a borderline 5* like justice cause he's an inch or two shorter than a bigger wing like cam whitemore currently outside the top 100? doesnt look like a strong class for big wings in our region. there's cam whitmore and tyrell ward and that might be it

247 has Justice Williams listed at 6-3 and Floyd at 6-4. For comparison, they list Hand at 6-5.

Love what you did there

Floyd is closer to 6’2 than 6’4 tbh.

 

[bendm]

Floyd is closer to 6’2 than 6’4 tbh.

maybe so. 247 says 6'4 so i was going off that, but would it change the calculus? would floyd disqualify us from getting justice? if there were elite 6'6 wings we could target i'd understand but there just arent any in the north atlantic region, at least none we've offered

Despite all these CovID distractions, the staff is working hard on 2022 targets, and The Chief is cheering them on.
