I like our chances, landing both Carlyle and Castle should be possible.

It's probably between Auburn and Connecticut.

And I think UConn is a legit threat. Told 247 his family lives in New York & it's his 2nd home.

They also have either close friends or family on the UCONN staff but I still think Auburn has a s shot. It’s much closer to his 1st home.

If there’s true adoration there, it’s hard to leave that. I’d be surprised, if the family is truly that in love with UC, that he ends up in Auburn. Wish the kid the best either way

UCONN fans are very confident and somehow UGA is also in the mix:

“For those wondering: Castle's teammate (#108 Marquavious Brown) just committed to UGA on 11/11 and is recruiting him hard to follow”

UGa is not a factor.

When do we really DON'T need to land this one?

True but since we didn't land N.Smith, JWalker, etc, there is some real need to land a potential 5-star recruit this time

Mabye it would also help landing Carlyle later on !

[AUreo 753]

Castle to UCONN most likely according to JLee

[ellitor 33,111]

Would be great to get him but not need to get him per se as others have thought. The 2023 class is loaded and a good number of them would love to come to AU.

Clemente, AU Rivals recruiting reporter, & 3 insiders still think AU so there's still hope.

“Connecticut: “My official visit went really well. I like the coaching staff and I could tell my parents did too. It is close to my second home in New York where my family is so I really like that too.”

Guessing that he goes to school in GA but his family all resides in the NE?

UCONN invited Stephon's grandma to his OV (he hadn't seen  her since Covid). His mom tweeted about it...they are all big UCONN fans now.

I think his parents live in GA but I am not 100% sure. He has extended family in NE.

I misread it initially and I’m guessing the other poster did too, but the tweeter is saying that UConn hosted HER mother, not his. So his grandmother

[AUreo 753]

I think we got out-recruited. Still hoping for a last minute change of heart. Connecticut is quite a distance from GA.

UCONN insider:

“UConn staff blew away SC and his family with an excellent pitch.. Was not expected by them.
If he comes north to Storrs. Not convenient to the family.”

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,687]

I don't imagine that article is factoring in the northern family being brought into the equation. I'm sure they did their own pitch (one is literally his mother's mother) in assuaging his direct family of those concerns. 

At least he's not a consensus 5 star, so this doesn't count towards that losing streak!
