As much as I would love to get him here, I am pretty sure that UConn
will find a way to open a spot for him.  I have also heard there is a
chance he goes the prep route next year.

McClain would be a great (and much needed get).  He is considered to be
7'0" so Al is probably right in that he is 6'11".  
 
This is the first kid that I can think of that can pick and choose where
he wants to go and may go to UC.  By pick and choose I look at the list
of teams that want him and they are all over the board.  If Mick can get
him to Cincinnati then it could provide some momentum and really help
out.  
 
His HS coach said that he needs playing time and I think that Cincinnati
could provide the most out of any team.

> From what I have heard, read, etc. etc. 6'11" Anthony McClain is a
definite possibility to join the Bearcats next season. UCONN has no
scholarships available the next 2 years, their current team has 8
freshman scholarships and 5 sophomore scholarships on it, talk about
unbalanced recruiting. They will have to have someone leave early for
the NBA (Thabeet?) or convince someone to transfer to have room for any
additions.
