UConn fans, your gut feelings on 5 * Precious Achiuwa.
If you believe the crystal ball predictions at 247 this recruitment is between UConn and Memphis. Don't necessarily believe that completely plus I think North Carolina is also supposed to be in there for this recruit. Currently achiuwa is on an official visit to Memphis. Had previously taken an unofficial visit during Memphis Madness. I'm beginning to believe with this recruit but I would like to hear another perspective ..especially from UConn fans or anyone else in the know. Thanks.

We lost him when UNC got involved a few months back. I still think Kansas and Memphis trail the Tarheels, unless Penny and company can sell him on this visit.

Maybe but among the last few crystal ball predictions that Memphis have gotten are from Jerry Meyer and Evan Daniels. No momentum, at least there, for the Tar Heels. But really I have no idea:-)

I think envy is a better description.
Jealousy: fear of someone taking something you have
Envy: wanting something someone else has

Precious has been very tight lipped. He also visited Western Kentucky for an unofficial (which was weird...). Who knows?

He comes from Nigeria ---- which may influence his respect or lack of for the so-called Blue Bloods. Granted I don't know how long he's been in the United States but his brother, God'sgift, played for St John's. You may recall him from the old Big East days. God'sgift is on the Memphis visit with his brother Precious.

That's a very good point.
Jealousy - Alex Lomax (well, actually we took him)
Envy- 26 NCAAs, 34 tournament wins, 3 Final 4s, top 10 recruiting class..... none of which WSU has
back on topic-
Precious/ Watford, doesn't matter to me which one- just get 1 of them
Quinones/ Rayjon Tucker - same deal, just get 1 of them
Hampton in late summer

The competition for their services is stiff, but hopefully ends in success for the good of the conference and the Tigers.

Line up of Hampton, Quinones or Tucker,Jeffries, Achiuwa, Wiseman would be nice.
It will be interesting in seeing the full rotation with Maurice, Thomas, Lomax, Harris, Wingett, Dandridge, Baugh, Boyce, Hardaway who are all going to be vying for minutes. Wondering if Dandridge and Baugh might redshirt this season would clear some of it up.

Western has been cheating in recruiting. Ending a few seasons ago with a top 10 class. This while playing in the c-usa with little coverage. Wouldn't surprise me if they "sign" him.

The irony here is that once Lomax transfers because he's not good enough to get playing time (at Memphis or WSU) then Memphis won't have any of these things either. (Except that ole recruiting victory)

If Precious doesn't end up at UConn it'll be because HuskyU absolutely did not make enough guarantees that he would end up there.
