"Kevin Ollie says #UConn has antennae up on 13th scholarship, but could go to a walk-on."

Borges does a follow up on his blog:
Ollie on Brimah, Sam Cassell, Jr., recruiting...

Nice thanks man.

Ollie was quoted as saying something along the lines of he waiting for a 7 footer to parachute down from heaven.

So I would have to assume they are keeping tabs on a 7 footer who might be looking for a home. Might be an interesting couple of months to follow

Ollie was being sarcastic. I'm not sure how anyone reads that and thinks otherwise.

(on whether UConn has definite plans for its 13th scholarship)

“Not yet. Hopefully a 7-footer parachutes down, and I’ll be right there to catch him. But I don’t know if that’s gonna happen. I look up all the time, hopefully he’s coming down soon. But if he doens’t come down, we’ll have that extra scholarship, and I’ll look at possibly a walk-on filling it. But it’s still open, there are still some activities around there. We’ve still got our antennae up, like always, checking and seeing what’s happening through the wire. So if you all hear something, make sure you put it on your Twitter account, OK?”

In my OP.. all that Borges had out was his twitter blurb............seems like he was just playin' with KO's quotes... until he finally did his blog....that I posted after..

 

[KhalidShockedTheWorld]

I took it as sarcasm. I don't think any more scholarships need to be used.

Coach was messing around for sure but don't get it twisted if we can get a legit big this class(7footer) we will pull that trigger!

 

[the Blades]

I guess the squid found that 7 footer who fell from the sky. LOL !
