Local prep coaches weigh in on UConn's status in recruiting world
Tremont Waters chose LSU over UConn, Georgetown. |
It started back in January, when Hamidou Diallo chose Kentucky over the Huskies. It continued on as one UConn target after another opted for different programs, most notably Sidney Wilson picking St. John's a couple of weeks ago.
Add it all to Makai Ashton-Langford backing out of his commitment, three players (Steve Enoch, Vance Jackson and Juwan Durham) bolting the program and ... well, the optics aren't good.
So I called around to some New England-based prep and AAU coaches to see what the perception of UConn is these days. Here's some of what they had to say.
JASON SMITH, Brewster Academy head coach:
"It's still definitely one of the premier programs in the country. Coach Ollie is tremendous, and I think they made a fantastic hire. Coach (Raphael) Chillious is one of my closest friends in the business, one of the coaches I communicate with most frequently."
"I know they've had some hiccups the last month or two, but that's part of how recruiting goes in cycles."
The 'Top Five' is now down to 'Top Three' |
JERE QUINN, St. Thomas More head coach:
*** Meanwhile, UConn is still heavily interested in Class of 2018 point guard Luguentz Dort from Canada. Chillious saw him drop 36 points against 22 Feet Academy (S.C.) while still at Washington to see Mamadou Diarra (not the UConn kid, the kid that recently committed to Cincinnati). The Huskies are still inquiring about the score-first point guard, but Louisville likes him a lot, too, as does Florida and old friend Andre LaFleur at UNLV, among others.
*** And add this name to UConn's recruiting interests: Brycen Goodine, a 6-foot-4, Class of 2019 combo guard from New Bedford, Massachusetts. He preps at St. Andrew's, and comes from good stock: his mom played at Providence, and his dad, Jonathan DePina, was a guard at UMass.
DePina also was a mentor to a young kid from Roxbury by the name of Shabazz Napier.

I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.
