In the latest example of how crazy the world of college basketball recruiting -- and the coverage of it -- can be, it appears UConn may not have lost out on a recruit it seemed to have lost out on after all. At least not yet.

Multiple reports Wednesday night stated that Ray Kasongo, a power forward out of Canada, committed to Oregon. Kasongo, who was down to the Huskies and Ducks, said he "got along great with the Oregon players and Coach Dana Altman," according to Reggie Rankin.

However, in the early hours of Thursday morning came this tweet from Kasongo:

I am still undecided, and haven't made a commitment yet. I need more time to think about this and will decide where I go later on this week.

So, it appears Kasongo's recruitment is still up in the air, and he could wind up in Storrs after all. Let's all give the kid some room to breathe and make a decision, OK?

Meanwhile, another power forward, Bonzie Colson, Jr., has crossed UConn of his list. According to his prep coach, Mike Hart, at St. Andrew's School, Colson is down to Florida State and Notre Dame. He'll likely decide this weekend. Colson was slated to make an official visit to Storrs on Oct. 11, but obviously now that won't be happening.

A tinge of recruiting news as UConn picks up the pieces following Abdul Malik Abu's commitment to NC State:

*** It appears Bonzie Colson's visit to UConn on Oct. 11 will be an unofficial one. Why? Because it's a simple, two-hour drive from St. Andrew's School in Barrington, R.I. (my hometown) to Storrs. Might as well save your officials for visits that involve plan flights and overnight stays.

Colson will also take an unofficial to Temple shortly after the UConn visit.

He's leaving his fifth and final official visit open. As it stands, he's already visited Pitt, will be at Florida State this weekend, Notre Dame at the end of the month and Miami on Oct. 4-6.

St. Andrew's coach Mike Hart says Colson is still "wide-open" in his recruitment. Glen Miller was at St. Andrew's on Monday.

*** UConn will be making an in-home visit with Paul White on Wednesday. White is slated for an official visit Sept. 27-29.

*** The Huskies are also still on for an in-home with Devin Robinson on Sept. 17. Robinson is slated for an official on Oct. 18-20, meaning he'll be at UConn's First Night festivities.

*** According to Adam Zagoria at SNY.tv, JUCO guard Jeff Newberry is slated to visit UConn in the next week or two.

*** According to Josh Gershon at FOX Sports/Scout.com, Kevin Ollie checked out Los Angeles's Chance Comanche, a Class of 2015, 6-10 center, on Monday.

Bonzie Colson, Jr., a 6-foot-6 (or so) Class of 2014 power forward out of St. Andrew’s in Barrington, R.I., took an unofficial visit to UConn today.

He’s somewhat of an under-the-radar recruit, though his name is familiar to me because his father was a standout forward at URI while I was there in the late-80’s/early-90’s. In fact, Bonzie Colson, Sr., helped lead the Rams to the Sweet 16 in 1988, knocking off Missouri and Syracuse before being edged by a point by Duke in one of the best runs in school history. (Colson, Jr. also visited URI this afternoon. He said he'll make an unofficial to Georgetown this summer while at Kevin Durant's camp).

As for Colson, Jr., we mentioned him near the bottom of this recruiting post a few months ago. 

Here's what the kid had to say about his visit:

"I definitely did (enjoy it), the campus is nice. They know I'm an under-sized four, there's not really a right position for me. They said they'd make plays for me and I'll adapt to their offense pretty well, because they'll play four out, one in."

Colson, Jr. added that he's a "post player, very aggressive. I like doing the little things that other players don't like to do -- dive on the floor for loose balls. I bring a lot of effort and energy to the game."

Here’s what St. Andrew’s coach Mike Hart has to say about him:

“He’s kind of an old-fashioned, throwback type guy. He’s not going to ‘wow’ you when you see him play. The ‘wow’ factor isn’t there. You’re not going to see the big body, the unbelievable quickness. What he does is, he’s deceptively athletic and quick, and he knows how to play basketball and score in a lot of different ways.”

Hart said Colson, Jr., is “just a shade under 6-6”, but is very long and his body is still developing.

“He’s shooting the ball better from outside now,” Hart said, “but his game right now is definitely from 15 feet and in.”

Hart said he reminds him of Jeff Adrien, but not because he’s a physical banger like Adrien was.

“You walk in the gym, you’re like, ‘Aw, come on.’ He’s not a prototypical, high-Division 1 power forward. Physically, he’s not that. He’s very Jeff Adrien-like: an under-height power forward that just develops in college and is able to score in a lot of different ways.”

Colson said he "wasn't sure" if UConn actually offered him today. He said UConn, Pitt, Notre Dame, Iowa State, Florida State, Minnesota, Butler, Miami, Stanford, GWU, URI, Fairfield, Quinnipiac, Virginia Tech, Arkansas and Alabama are among the schools showing interest. His father, now the director of admissions at UMass-Dartmouth, coached under Al Skinner at URI and BC and under ex-URI coach Tom Penders at George Washington.

“He’s got a terrific family, a great support system,” Hart noted.

The coach was also happy to learn recently that the lone St. Andrew’s product to play at UConn, Tony Robertson, recently graduated. As for any potential future Huskies now at St. Andrew’s, Hart mentioned Terrell Brown, a rising 6-8 Class of 2016 center. UConn hasn’t expressed much interest yet.

“But they will,” Hart promised.
