Looks like UConn is back on his list (he originally cut it to Arizona, Texas & Indiana):


More on why he expanded his list: http://www.insidethehall.com/2015/09/10/deron-davis-talks-iu-in-home-visit/

Indiana has remained involved in his recruitment for more than three years now and was among a list of three schools he announced near the end of July that also included Arizona and Texas. Davis said on Thursday that he’s also now considering Arkansas, Mississippi State and UConn.

“The three schools I added, they’re all going to be on TV a lot and the relationships I’ve built with those coaches, along with the first three, are very special,” he explained. “Each one of those schools can help develop me and take me to where I want to go.”

The next step following the in-home visits with all six schools will be figuring out a final five and then scheduling official visits.

Davis told peegs.com he has added Oklahoma State, UConn and Mississippi State to his list that already included Arizona, Indiana and Texas.

After the Indiana in-home, Davis will have in-homes with Arizona, Oklahoma State, UConn, Texas and Arkansas, Fisher said.

"He kind of jumped the gun when he cut it to just three," Fisher said. "We wanted to give people a chance to come in and talk to him and see what he wants to do with his five (official) visits. The top of his list isn't going to change much."

Davis' main three schools are Arizona, Indiana and Texas.

Davis said he felt cutting his list to three happened too quickly.

"I just thought I was rushing too much," Davis said. "The three other schools had been there for a long time as well as my main three. I had a good relationship with all three of those other coaching staffs."
 
Not sure how legit this is...

Buzz around the adidas All-American camp on Long Island, in July, was that UConn head coach Kevin Ollie had begun to make a serious impression on Davis, his family, and his mentors within his AAU program. Some were shocked when they were reportedly left off his list, but they could be considered a dark horse for his signature here.

The signing of Dunham and the presence of Enoch on the roster doesn't concern him?
I can see that point and not saying he will sign but the flip side is..... Did the presence of 4 and 5 star players Willie Cauley-Stein, Alex Poythress, Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, Dakari Johnson and Marcus Lee. on Kentucky's roster....concern and stop 4 and 5 stars Karl-Anthony Town, Trey Lyles, Tyler Ulis and Devin Booker from signing with UK ? Maybe good players just want to play everyday with good players. And who leaves early this spring will probably be the biggest factor. I could possibly see 3 and if that happens Uconn still needs a SG or combo too.

I don't think it's rocket science for these guys to take inventory of what bodies are and will be on the roster......but UConn needs to refocus on getting Brown or Ogiabu and nail down depth at the 5.

Well unless they're at Kentucky and then suddenly they can't count... but then again they've learned to count a little differently( like in envelops) at UK or when it comes to Calamari.....
Also true with those 2 since they're 2017's...which gives more time for attrition .... not a 2016 like Davis.
