Borges seems to think that one more scholarship will open up.....according to his article a few weeks ago " The Huskies are still beating down the recruiting path, looking to fill two spots. " No guess on who that 2nd scholly will be from, but someone would need to leave or go off scholly.
So let's take a look at what we know for names.... the 2019's :
C- Rick Issanza 7'1" /240 Bella Vista Prep, AZ, just visited
G- DeMarr Langford, 6' 4"/ 195, Putnam, CT ( reclassify). DH visited recently at PSA
SG- Nah’Shon Hyland, 6'3 /165, Wilmington, DE, recent Uconn offer, in home visit
PF- Precious Achiuwa 6'9 / 215, Montverde, FL, visited- UNC, Kansas, Memphis (no Uconn)
PF- Kareem Reid, 6'8" /210, Putnam, CT (reclassify), Borges claims VCU & New Mexico lead -
had recent visits to G-Webb & St. Bonnies- doesn't seem like a Uconn interest.
Transfers-
G- RJ Cole, 6’1”/ 185, Howard, in home + visiting May 24-26th, testing the NBA , has to sit a year
F-Joel Ntambwe, 6’9” /210, UNLV---- already visited, testing the NBA, has to sit a year
3 other Bigs who had Uconn mentions by Rivals, etc.-
C- Emmanuel Ugboh 6'11''/ 242, Iowa Western-- Uconn offer, committed to Tulsa
C- Khadim Sy, a 6'10"/ 240, Va Tech-Daytona State- Final 3- ECU, Ole Miss, Pitt
F- Andre Allen, 6’9” , Arizona Western - close to committing to AZ St., he prefers to stay in the West
So it seems like slim pickings or guys that have to sit a year for the 2 spots, am I missing anyone, grad transfer bigs ?
My guess for the "2" are RJ Cole (Aman's, Uconn's in good shape pick) and Issanza once the Precious "at one time flirtation" is finally over. Ntambwe might be nice but is DH really gonna use 2 ships ( him and Cole) on 2 guys who can't play next year ? ..... The X- factor in all of this could be a current Uconn guard leaving that comes out of nowhere..
