No we aren't as far as I know.

This is the last tweet I could find about our involvement, from a roughly year ago

Feels like we shoulda stayed involved here.

23 pts. in first half. We desperately need shooting and we have all these shooters in our backyard. He would've been an easy recruitment to Storrs is we stayed on him at all. He still doesn't have many great offers...

He was down to Xavier, Penn St. and Syracuse last I saw. I full expect him to go to Xavier and torch us with his sister in the stands.

I get the sense UConn isn't really recruiting him. Not just because of what it says in this article. Class of 2023 shooting guard Reid Ducharme is starting to see his recruitment open up as he starts his junior season at Brewster Academy. Ducharme has good size, athleticism and spreads the...

Can he play UConn defense? I don't think we are ever going to see Hurley prioritize shooting over defense. Nor should he. It's one thing to have a great shooter that is a defensive liability on the bench.

Four seasons of flat out bad to lackluster shooting and zero tournament wins. You have to be able to shoot/score the ball to win against top competition.

Hurley can teach a less-than-stellar athlete to play adequate defense. The same can't be said of comfortably shooting the ball.

Looks like Xavier. From On3 . . .

 

[uconnever]

And if Miller wants him, I wanted him at UConn.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Chose Xavier. Between this news and indications that Estrella is now a Rick Barnes lean, must be meltdown city over at the Sadexcuse board.

He couldn’t teach Tyler Polley how to play defense.

He couldn’t teach Tyler Polley how to play defense.

Just like he couldn’t teach Bouk how to pass.

Why

 

[CL82]

I mean Syracuse is OK, but it’s no Xavier. Besides the kids probably want to play basketball in the US.

At this point, Syracuse is back to their fallback plan of hoping Jim and Julie have more children.

They’re handling it really well…..(joking)

Apparently a while ago he wanted to commit on his OV (June) & their staff pumped the brakes on it. Then went and performed well this summer, xavier got more aggressive with him & now Syracuse was outside looking in.

Believe the story or not, I do think it reinforces why when kids want to come here (like Ross) it’s important to lock them up. Especially if their potential is higher than their “current ranking”
