We still NEED another big.

Yeah, his name is Michael Chandler.  He wants to be here.  Provided the idiots in Indy clear him.

The more I think about it I still believe Chris O is headed for stj, Felix is his best friend and they are inseparable. Felix's LOI is signed im sure this is weighing heavy on Chris's mind and at the same time if his mind was so made up why hasn't he just committed to cincy already? Obekpa an chandler would be epic

I wish you were right.  But from all I've heard and a number of others, its not happening.

Lol, gotta play the slow music sometimes. Otherwise we'd have nuthing but pessimism and percussion.

Granted, but then why no bullets in the chamber? What's he waiting for?

Kevin Ollie seen giving Nolan a haircut at JFK last Sunday!

Still love our class, but losing Nolan obviously puts us in a percarious situation to land that elusive big.  Unless Chille's gut is right about Obekpa, Chandler's fate is out of our hands (for now).  If Chandler falls to qualify, agree with the sentiment that we should not waste a ship on a poor big substitute (Raffington), and hope Sanchez/GG can adequately fill the 4/5 spot.

21st ranked center, we have been holding one schollie for Chandler, we probably asked him to wait
and see if he doesn't qualify or go to prep for a year.  Honestly, we have bigger fish to fry, keep
in mind , Dele was ranked higher if I remember correctly.

From Hartford Courant, Guess HS coach not in the decision process. Shady!

Crazy.

This is perplexing

I dont know how Calhoun does it. Gets the Centers to sign late in the season that knowbody knows hes even recruiting.

“@AmoreCourant: just spoke to phillip nolan: "I see uconn as a great opportunity. if I work hard, there are minute available" #UConnmen”

Guess he intended to play and not prep all along.

So his HS coach was shocked as well! Interesting, especially as Ucon was involved.

Nolan notes UConn edging out SJU

He pays them. A lot.

Much as I hate Uconn, it sounds like Nolan was driven by who could guarantee him the most minutes, and Calhoun made him an offer he couldn't refuse.  Of course, I wouldn't trust Calhoun as far as I could throw him, but Nolan apparently bought in.  Wish him well.

Bizarro land!

“@KevinRDuffy: Phil Nolan said he's never met Calhoun or Kevin Ollie. Will meet them for first time when he visits campus Sunday.”

one of the craziest recruiting things I've heard
