Class of 2022 C Donovan Clingan (CT) Offered

[0.2 YNdeeR]

Some Hurley-homer trolling the recruitment. They're like green flies at a picnic.

Is the white claw ad underneath at all indicative of how meth balls are predicted?

 

[GooseMutt]

Uconn would be a ridiculous choice given his talent

Someone has a pair to suggest this but they ain’t crystal

 

[JackBauer44]

Not for nothing - but Hurley is known for pumping “news” to the recruiting sites to try and create momentum.

Is he known for it, or is suspected that he does? Just clarifying.

Personally I have only heard the part about him drumming up hype for recruits on this board. He does have a cordial relationship with many of the national CBB analysts but not so much with the recruiting guys. One example is when Jake Weingarten (and others) reported that Dylan Cardwell was on UConn’s campus for a visit which actually had been cancelled. They looked like absolute fools. If Hurley was using these guys, he would definitely let them know of information that affected their credibility.

I’ve worked with numerous college basketball coaches who have very interesting stories about him. I’ll leave it at that.

DC coming in at #51 in updated ESPN rankings

That's how I interpreted it.

 

[Bulldog04]

I do know one thing. He will not be choosing SU. No matter how much the staff works, they are always chasing. This has been the case since day 1 unfortunately. Would be great to have a big man finally, but it won’t be him. Sorry gang

This is one of the most ridiculous takes I keep hearing over and over. Very embarrassing that some people in our fanbase use this as an excuse and actually believe it’s a thing…

JackBauer44 doesn’t make stuff up. If you choose not to believe it, that’s up to you.

Who are you?

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not.

But it’s not about credibility or anything. It’s about using common sense a 10 year old would have to figure out this makes no logical sense at all.

 

[Syracuslove]

Who are you?

A fan just like you? Or are we in different social classes?

I guess there’s no fooling you. So, you can’t conceive of someone manipulating the media to create a narrative? Never been done? You’d have to be an 8 year old to believe it couldn’t be true.

So just want to get this down in words. You’re saying recruits commit to UConn because Hurley lies to media and says they really like the school and will commit soon. In turn, that brainwashes the recruit into thinking they actually like the school (and forget about the fact that the coach is lying) and then they commit.

Or maybe they just don’t want to play in a college zone defense and an offense that doesn’t let the center touch the ball.

But you’re right, the first one has gotta be the reason they’re beating us for recruits…

Wow, is that how you interpreted that?

 

[Cusesky8214]

I think syracuslove got lost on the way to the boneyard.

 

[Syracuslove]

Yes actually, but please explain it to me like I’m 8 years old, I must be missing something

Ok, free your mind. Someone passes along information to these people with balls made of crystal. They then pass it along to the general public in the form of a prediction, based on that information. The mass public sees that prediction and begins to talk about it. Maybe we call it a buzz. Articles are written, message boards light up, basically a narrative has been established, true or not. Now, this can’t make someone choose that school. But, maybe it influences another recruit. Or, maybe it discourages a school from recruiting him. Psychologically maybe it clears the path. Like I said previously, choose to believe this tactic happens or not, I don’t care. But, don’t be so thick as to believe it couldn’t possibly happen. Especially when it was presented by a very credible poster.

So essentially everything I just said, just worded differently to try to make it not seem completely illogical (but really it’s just a smokescreen

Whatever, you guys can believe whatever nutty theories you guys want. Just keep in mind how ridiculous it sounds to people not usually surrounded by this nonsense everyday
