Mo Harkless update...

Harkless, by all accounts, can ball. I think he’s understandably scared by the potential logjam at the wing position (Roscoe, Giffey, Coombs-McDaniel, all of whom would potentially have a year or two of Big East play ahead Harkless). From our perspective, I’d love to see him push for playing time here as a freshman…the more talent, the better. But I can see why he would have to reconsider his choice.

That being said, I don’t know that South Kent being in Connecticut will have much effect on where he ends up.

The quotes from Harkless’ advisor in the Rivals story indicate to me that they are looking for something else (“UConn is still loving him but they have to bring in certain guys.”)

Gun to my head, I think Harkless heads elsewhere. That could change, but that’s my read at the moment.

it’s a mega elite prospect or someone from the same bloodline as Brandon Knight, I tend to wait until it’s official before getting excited or bummed out. Too much indecisiveness among high school kids.
