Class of 2017 PG Makai Ashton-Langford Transfer from Providence to BC

[UnderHisOwnPower]

Taurean would need to have the single greatest year to year improvement in program history to become decent at defense

Billy Celuck is better defensively than Taurean will ever be. No joke.

It'd be nice to sneak MAL away late, but I still think he chooses Providence.

A little early to say that. Yes, Thompson was dreadful this year. But a lot of sophs improve If they want to.

"Makai Ashton-Langford, a high four-star guard out of the New England region, backed off his commitment to UConn, asking the Huskies' staff for his release.

Now back on the market, Ashton-Langford becomes one of the top available prospects in the 2017 class. Before Ashton-Langford committed to UConn in the fall, others such as Syracuse, Kansas and Louisville were in the hunt. Each has landed a guard since then, though KU has remained in pursuit of point guards this spring; it would likely ramp attention back up with the Brewster Academy guard. Syracuse could do just the same, and Duke could follow suit.

However, for the Providence fans out there, it would seem like Ed Cooley’s program might be the likely landing spot for Ashton-Langford. The Friars were in his final two the first time around, and given that they would absolutely love to add a point guard this spring and already developed rapport with Ashton-Langford and his camp, it looks like they are in strong position here for the top-50 guard."

Likes Lville a lot too.

JB, Red, G-Mac... Bueller?

Sounds like we're focusing on Ayala. Hard to imagine a scenario in which we get MAL.

 

[cuseguy]

Staff is on the clock. Absolutely crucial they land a quality PG and a shooter for next year. Not one of the two -- but both. They can kiss the year goodbye if not.

So we wait.

Not that I ever did have the warm fuzzy feeling that we would land ayala like some on here seem to have but with the new offer from Oregon we better be pursuing all the best available options to us...dang it it ticks me off that we only recruit our certain areas but now we have to worry about the likes of Oregon etc recruiting our guys. Hopefully the all eggs in one basket thing we learned from and we are aggressive in trying to get someone like MAL

how could that strategy possibly not work?

Some of these elite level kids will get upwards of 15 offers - doesn't mean there is interest on the other side. Kevin Ollie offers pretty much everyone.

Ah but we want the full court press on Tucker while he is on campus don't we? All coaches on deck for that.

Tucker comes into town tomorrow. We should be able to get to NH tonight and back to Syracuse in time for Tucker tomorrow morning/afternoon whenever he gets there. It's like a 6 hour drive or 2 hour flight.

JB, Red, G-Mac... Bueller?

Syracuse will have a presence there.

No. We will have a coach at Brewster.

 

[Cusesky8214]

That is good news

 

[HoustonCuse]

No. We will have a coach at Brewster.

I was being sarcastic but glad to hear it confirmed.

 

[Cuse'91]

No. We will have a coach at Brewster.

I'm going to take a wild guess that he isn't 72 years old... Sending assistants up against head coaches is getting kinda old...

 

[HoustonCuse]

Glad we can find a way to complain about absolutely every single thing. Even imagined stuff. My god.

Hey, maybe he's no Calipari, but Cooley can recruit. It's not like NH is that far away, would like to see some of this renewed energy from our HC that I've been hearing so much about...

Id say this weekend Jimmy is excused from traveling dont ya think?

Where do you want him? I will let you decide. At Syracuse with Jordan tucker or at Brewster with kids that won't be making their decision any time soon?
