[Storrs South]

I think this may be more of a program relationship visit. I've heard no indication Edgecombe has interest.

 

[SgtPeps]

High school teammates with Jayden Ross

 

[aburks41]

Best coaching staff in the country

Perhaps VJ is more open to his other suitors after Duke took their third wing commitment of the class? Pretty sure before Kon committed the consensus was VJ to Duke?

 

[HuskyInfinity]

Praying some traction begins to resurface here, I so so badly and unhealthily want this kid a husky.

Certainly hope so!

 

[Huskyforlife]

Didn’t Ross say something like “you finally got that offer” once we offered Edgecombe? Always thought he might be into us after that, but obviously it didn’t seem to go anywhere until now.

Who have you heard he has interest in?

Who have you heard he has interest in?

That’s the thing, word is no one has stood out. Maybe why we have re-engaged?

 

[husky429]

Who have you heard he has interest in?

I don't know. Just not us. Hopefully that has changed, because the kid can ball.

 

[willie99]

Did anyone else read Vernon Giscombe?

 

[Huskybass]

Not only can this kid light it up, but he plays with great poise. Would be a fantastic piece to land.

 

[Dove]

No, I didn't.

The kid just recently blew up. No one has been on him. So why does everyone keep writing our chances off with him when we've been aware of him longer than anybody.

6 officials, none to UConn. Despite being less than 3 hours from Storrs.

I think recently blew up is kind of a reach, and ppl are probably writing our chances off because of him scheduling his officials and not including us

Obviously UConn saw him play because he was on the same high school team as Jayden Ross. He was ranked in the top 100 and then blew up over the spring and summer and rocketed into the top 10.

According to the link below UConn didn't offer him until July 1, 2023. Many other high majors offered him over the previous winter and spring, including St. John's, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Ohio St., Villanova, Miami, Indiana, Seton Hall, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Oklahoma St., Alabama, and Florida St. Duke and Baylor offered him shortly after UConn. Michigan and Kentucky offered in August and September.

On July 30 he gave a top 10 of Alabama, Baylor, Connecticut, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, St. John's, and NBA G League Ignite.

So far he's set up official visits to Florida (visited 9/16), Baylor, Michigan, Duke, Alabama and Florida St.

Still time for UConn to get him to visit. I doubt Kimani would have visited with him if there was no chance.

Ross's little brother is there too. Probably a better prospect than Jayden.

 

[Palatine]

6 officials, none to UConn. Despite being less than 3 hours from Storrs.

He may not need an official, he can come over on any Tuesday.

 

[husky429]

He may not need an official, he can come over on any Tuesday.

And he hasn't. Which says a bit about his interest in UConn to date.

 

[krinklecut]

Kimani should have checked in with the geniuses on the boneyard before wasting his time

 

[kansashusky]

And he hasn't. Which says a bit about his interest in UConn to date.

Totally understand, but staffs priority was Betsey, they thought they had a better shot, and now that he is probable to Cinci, makes sense we would push to VJ.
