2020 Recruiting: Niels Lane Visiting

[bendm]

Lane is planning an OV with us right

wow awesome. didnt see that coming after his unofficial lasted all of 2 hrs or so

 

[HuskyHawk]

Lane is planning an OV with us right after he visits Texas this next week. We are his last OV before he commits on October 8th. Down to UConn, Miami, Florida, and Texas. Providence is technically in his top 5 but that's as a courtesy for being on him from the beginning.

Is he still considered a heavy Florida lean? Seems he likes warm weather.

 

[Conquistador]

Feels like a Florida lean but who knows what can happen with a good visit

Agreed. Don’t read anything but Florida in his comments. When he mentions them, it just seems more personal.

Beautiful day in Storrs today.

Care to explain the significance of you posting this in both the Andre Jackson thread and the Niels Lane thread? Should we expect good news on both, or just one?

You are over thinking this - it was meant to be about recruiting in Storrs yesterday - not what thread I posted it in. Sorry if this cause confusion.

Am I wrong in thinking that Lane, Jackson and Richmond are all very athletic wings who project as elite defenders, but who aren’t great shooters?

Thanks for the clarification. I get the sense the Jackson visit went well, but I was surprised to see a vaguely optimistic post in the Lane thread as well.

That pretty much sums up Jackson but doesn’t capture the whole story with Lane and Kadary. Neither are as elite as Thomas offensively but both are very skilled and can play 1-3. They can get buckets in different ways.

We're only getting 2 of these 4 guys at most and any 2 can play together.

hopefully his last OV unless he pays PC a pity visit

from his dad- "Niels has a lot to think about. No one has eliminated themselves during the visits, as each school has done a great job with him. He’s processing everything and listing his pros and cons. Tough choice, but I don’t think he can go wrong with any of them. It’s probably going to come down to his ‘gut feeling.'"

cant help myself- but a class of lane, jackson, and cardwell would have ranked #30 this year which is great for that size. Only two 3-recruit classes would have ranked higher (texas and michigan st)

Hope his gut likes ice cream.

Would be nice if this is an indication they're not as confident as some have said.

The weather has been great the last couple weeks.

Knock it off or there'll be a smoking crater where your ego used to be.

Way too many threads getting derailed by this nonsense.

If Fishy is Chief and Chief is Fishy.

This is brilliant.

What is the point of locking threads

What is the point of locking threads

When the thread topic conversation is hijacked by the same arguments people have been having for months and months on different threads it clutters things and makes it an unpleasant environment.

And it camouflages pages of crap behind a reasonable sounding title. Sometimes the 'free association' nature of the Yard is hysterical but it does create a ton of crap. I think the mods do a reasonable job of balancing between the two.

I never knew great weather in Storrs was so controversial. As for out size ego, I never reveal my identity to anyone and most of my predictions I actually share privately with a handful of people.
What actually derides threads are BL’s exceedingly boring posts.

This board would be so much better if everyone ignored clowns who talk about themselves in the third person and pretend to have insider info about the team.

Anyway, Niels Lane seems good, and I'd love to have him on my favorite college basketball team, the University of Connecticut at Storrs Men's Basketball Huskie Boys.
