(2024) - Liam McNeeley to UConn

[JSHoosier 20,177]

Let's get McNeeley on board and hopefully it'll help with Queen and/or Fland. A top 15 recruit would be great to add.

Just need him to announce already haha will be much easier to relax once we get the first one on the board

It's just a matter of time, hopefully minutes not hours or days.

Don't like that - don't like that one bit.

@Chris007 who finally paid the ransom?  Seems like we haven't heard from you in long time.

That doesn't mean Liam has to listen or take the visit if his mind is already made up.

I wish it was some amazing story but really it's just a combo of work being busy with students coming back, a family vacation to Hawaii, and having a senior in high school playing his last year of tennis. Which he had 22 matches in 29 days. But hopefully in the next week or two things will slow down.

Because you have been gone so long you must definitively tell us who will be in the ‘24 class and when they will commit to make up for the lack of posts

I'm saying we will get Liam because I think he has expressed that to the staff, I think that really helps with Queen, and if we get him, then we Boogie. For the fall those are the only 3 possibilities. I'm hoping for all 3 but 2 would be a success. If we just get Liam, then we have some work to do in the spring or with the portal.

Good for you.  Hopefully the Hawaii vacation was prior to the devasting fire and I hope your senior has a fantastic end to his high school tennis career.

Yes, we got home a week or two before the fires.

Not questioning what you are saying, but asking 'why?' What is the advantage of making a secret committment? I can see a few days or a week to set-up some kind of announcement or reveal (although not my thing.) But beyond that....what am I missing?

I think your correct he told the coaches he's going to be a Hoosier, now just waiting to set up his commitment video or however he's going to do it.

Anything can happen in recruiting as you know.   He wouldn’t be the first kid to tell a  staff he was committing and then not follow through.     Happens more than people realize.   Off the top of my head Ledlum from this last  transfer cycle did it to the IU staff.   Way back when Richardson that went to Cuse told Crean he was committing on his visit and ended up at Cuse.

No that was a different class.   Richardson was one of ius top target for 2016.   Staff was super confident after the visit because he told them he was going  to go to IU.

Just looked at this further...to jog my brain. 

Definitely didn't help that he was in attendance at the carrier dome, to witness them beating us 69-52.

Hope you enjoyed the vacation, Hawaii is wonderful. Now use that prep period to provide us with valuable insider information! No more lacking Chris. 

In all seriousness, hope your son is doing well and glad to hear that you're staying busy before IUBB starts.
