2020 Recruiting: Cliff Omoruyi unofficial visit today

[Matrim55]

@Zionn, @BFieldHusky, @superjohn, @Chief00 and @CallMeBruce

AFAIK the only one who's never been wrong is Zionn.

Also, @UConnStats & @husky429 both have connections (JuCo & AAU I believe – though I may be mixing up UConnStats with someone else).

Don't get excited. Info I have is real but rare.

Ie. People in the ny lightning program have said cliff is begging for kentucky interest and not getting it.

Lock up Dylan Cardwell on his visit or the Canadian Jevonte Brown Ferguson. Kansas already offered this kid and he's 2021, but may reclass. Just sayin, Kansas seems to always have a keen eye for bigs. Waiting around til spring doesn't seem like a good strategy.

 

[formerlurker]

Chief expects two commitments by 10/15.

Will they be considered as the 2 surprises you predicted in February?

 

[MattMang23]

I’m not gonna quote the posts that grill other schools for paying guys because there are far too many. But chillllll. I know we wanna call out a bunch of other programs, but we haven’t exactly been clean ourselves, even if we haven’t been hammered for it publically. To keep a level playing field, we just need to be innovative enough to do it again without being caught (if we aren’t doing it already).

I’m not a current “insider” by any stretch, but I have enough info on mid-2000s UConn. We weren’t angels.

@husky429 had the Jackson stuff on the nose all spring and summer... just didn’t post it on the main board for our own good. That’ll happen when you’re a stud upcoming coach yourself!

not my game though! Keep killin it folks

 

[brihman]

Bruce will always be legendary for sniping Sterling Gibbs in my book. I’d add @NJHusky too, who’s great here and has a link with the Hurley family, from what I can infer.

Shame 99 doesn’t post anymore and 3 got run off years ago.

Too bad about 3 - whatever happened to him?

 

[Wordbomar]

@NJHoops seems like they have really good connections too

If only this were so. Zionn has gone to a really shortened version of predictions ever since he and the former Louisville AD both were under the impression that UConn to the ACC had already "been inked." I have no doubt that Zionn and indeed the entire UConn AD and coaches once believed the ink was indelible. Unfortunately, our friends up at BC made sure the ink used was the disappearing kind.

As long as you're not referring to the perfectly legal arrangement between UConn and the Baltimore Ballers, I'll take your word for it.

That’s why he may wait for Spring and maybe something opens up at UK.

That was Springs and RJ. On 2/5 I mentioned Springs publicly.

@Burnsbros23 coaches AAU as well I believe

 

[intlzncster]

Had a lot of personal stuff going there for awhile. Had no time or desire to post.

Around that time or after took the usual flack for some info and didn't feel like bothering anymore.

Dunno now though.

Hmm. I asked this same question back in April and you claimed Akok as one of the "surprises".

Joel Ntambwe (UNLV Transfer)

Sid could easily be starting at the 3 if his jumper is more consistent, which I don't think is out of the realm of possibility. His On man defense needs to get a ton better too.

[Chief00]

Ok - you are going back to last year now. LOL Wasn’t Akok a December guy and enrolled in the second semester.

 

[MattMang23]

As long as you're not referring to the perfectly legal arrangement between UConn and the Baltimore Ballers, I'll take your word for it.

Nothing to do with that.

 

[Scrutiner]

You better be right Chief. You post that with so much certainty so I gotta believe. If you're wrong sir you lose all urinal privileges for a year.

You mean his credibility will be flushed?

 

[Scrutiner]

It's Vandy, Georgia, or UConn. If his family cares about his future basketball career, they know the best choice...

Hard to see any way a kid passes up playing for Tom Crean.

 

[Scrutiner]

Cardwell has dropped in the ranking, anyone know why?

UConn is on his short list.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave...

 

[Burnsbros23]

I do Indeed. Actually have two high major kids out of bloom high school Keeshawn Williams and Martice Mitchell. UConn seems to be more east coast focused under Hurley.

Also coach Juco at what I’m hoping will be a preseason top 15 team in the country. Send a kid to Oklahoma from last years team who I think Is a pro. Exchanged emails with the staff about him I think.

BC and ESPN

No we weren't. But what top program was/is? Dirty is relative. To some, its not dirty to pay players. Whats dirty is to pretend its not happening, or your program isn't doing it.

Quick question, did Carmelo choose Syracuse on tradition alone?

 

[aburks41]

Not ideal..
