2023 Recruiting: Scotty Middleton, "I want coaches who aren't going to tell me what I want to hear"

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Where is Providence??

In Rhode Island.

Would Corey Brewer be a fair non-UConn comp?

Great comp … damn near perfect

 

[HungryHu5ky]

Corey Brewer was taller and longer I believe. I don't think that's a super inaccurate comp though.

It’s actually a perfect comp to the tee

So I now seen a few people who believe Middleton is going to Seton Hall because of the offers to Carr and Williams. @husky99 still hearing UConn or has this turned?

Ohio State has been Slater’s prediction for months. His mentor is apparently a big fan. I think Scotty wanted Kansas if they wanted him.


There are too many variables in recruiting to say that one school should never beat out another for a recruit. The players themselves click with different people or have all kinds of different things they want or value. You can’t think like a fan.

yikes to reaching out to plan B the week plan A is supposed to decide

An offer is not the first time staffs reach out to players. They have all kinds of contact and feedback before it gets to that point,

sure i would hope plan B would have heard from staff more than once before they might become plan A

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

We can have more than one player on the wing. Ideally, there will be a few.

Heard yesterday uconn still seriously in the running. And obviously these new offers are not great news

 

[Mooch82]

Decent chance he hasn't made a decision yet based on this new, delayed timeline. Staff may be just hedging their bets here with the new offers.

On Monday morning you heard it's UConn and a day later you heard UConn is still seriously in the running?

Heard sunday it was a uconn done deal

I don’t think Kansas would offer if they felt his shooting was sub par.

I don't think it is a delayed timeline, I think the OSU poster was saying Zags either mischaracterized or just misunderstood the timeline or maybe just got bad info. If he does drop an announcement date today (or tomorrow) on instagram as OSU insider noted, we will know for sure but believe that is what he was saying specifically.

Staff may be making offers to push him to commit by showing him we have options. Leverage.

maybe staff wanted to offer coen and stewart before peach jam? are they playing in it?

if they arent plan Bs that would mean we're looking at a potential 5 or 6 man class for '23 which would not be a surprise based on who we could lose:
castle, ball, ross, middleton, coen/stewart, singare?

 

[husky99]

That usually does not work with top 50 kids

[Huskyforlife]

I feel like Coen could be unrelated to Middleton considering he’s friends with Castles family. We could theoretically take both.

Have you heard anything specific changed since Monday or, as we say, is it just ~fluid~

 

[HooperScooper]

Seems FLUID

So take everything we hear with a grain of salt.

Not really. Heard over the weekend it was a done deal and this morning i heard we are seriously in the running

Maybe one of our competitors came courting with a bigger, fatter NIL bag on Monday?

The boneyard is freaking out because we offered a couple of other guys. That’s due diligence. There’s almost no reason to believe somethings changed. Husky Paranoia
