    UConn (only) Recruiting (only) Speculation

    ...other 4's we have a decent chance for as well. Beyond a very good 4, I'm not sure if one more is critical or not, but we are still pursuing a wing I believe, but our chances for that might be better in 2026 along with maybe the big O. I also think we are at a point where everyone on the...

    Recently Watched Movies 2024

    Nah. There is literally nothing about this movie that aligns with any current event or the political factions as they are IRL, seemingly intentionally so. How on earth in a US civil war do the journalists imagine they are the "good guys". That is enough to wave me off any interest in seeing...

    2022 Andre Jackson

    Castle had the quickness to stay in front of his man, the length to bother smaller guards on drives, or post ups, and an uncanny ability to stay on the floor and not go for shot fakes, like at all, ever. Guys would drive or attempt to post up in the lane and make move after move and everytime...

    USC #1 & #2

    ...a freshman coming off an ACL, but they have Bueckers who will be an early favorite for POY and bring in the #1 recruit in Strong to help on the wing. Texas is looking rock solid on paper but Madison Booker will have to adjust to playing off ball after a brilliant year as a freshman point...

    Doc pulls Andre

    Andre got a raw deal with the coaching change from someone who believed in defensive players to someone who wants his guards/wings driving and shooting.

    2024 Recruiting: One more potential add?

    Luka doncic is big enough to play PF too but that doesn’t mean he is one, he’s an PG and Ross is a wing. And Im not 100% sold on stew as our starting PF to begin with.

    UConn roster - 2024 and beyond ...

    ...to plan 2, 3 and 4 moves ahead. We know that Geno is still looking to add another player for this coming season. Chances are it will be a tall wing or a post and possibly be a junior with two years left of eligibility. If that happens then we have a filled roster. This brings us to the...

    2024-2025 Ceiling

    ...I think our ceiling decreases dramatically if he doesn't break out. I'd argue he's the next guy for the Andre/Castle role, even though each guy approaches it differently. We don't have a ton of options to guard athletic scoring wings. He'll also probably handle third ball handler...

    2024 Recruiting: One more potential add?

    ...because that's what this roster is. Basically what i'm saying is that this season there wont really be a SF & PF, there will be 2 guards and 2 wings. There may even be times when we go 1 "guard" and 3 wings if Liam has a secure enough handle, although i don't expect this a lot....but who...

    2024 Recruiting: One more potential add?

    It’s not ideal but he fills the role of floor spacer when Alex is on the bench. I also think he might simply beat out Abraham with his experience. Plus you can always move Stewart down to the 4 defensively and have Ross play the guard/wing role offensively.

    2022 Andre Jackson

    Liam McNeeley on the wing but he’ll be much more involved in set plays than Steph. I’m not sold there will be that much of a drop off in defense either. Castle‘s biggest asset was his size and build, something Liam also has. Castle wasn’t known as a lock down defender coming out either. Defense...

    Three-Peat: Mainly a bet on the coaching staff

    We don’t have the proven returning players that we did last year. Clingan Karaban and Newton all were big players their first year. If Karaban doesn’t return we’re banking on a big jump out of Stewart, Ball and Diarra.

    The South is where it's at.. Certain Food Lions here have a Chicken Wing Bar open from 11-7 :) Maybe 6-7 different types of wings..PLUS Tater Tots and Mozzerella Sticks.

    Three-Peat: Mainly a bet on the coaching staff

    ...may have reloaded with higher rated portal guys, one thing many (if any) other teams don’t have is stock pile of homegrown talent waiting in the wings to step into large roles, including returning 4 of 5 players from last years top 5 recruiting class. With or without Karaban, next years...

    Three-Peat: Mainly a bet on the coaching staff

    Gary Parrish is a piece of crap. He picked Purdue as a better team than us in the Final Four. And we are picked 4th in the rankings for next year. To that I say good.

    2024 Recruiting: One more potential add?

    Even with no Karaban we're 3 deep at basically every spot. I guess the 1 and 2 has a decent amount of overlap but 80 minutes is already a bit tight for those 4 guys PG: Diarra, Nowell, Mahaney SG: Mahaney, Ball, Diarra SF: McNeeley, Stewart, Ross PF: Stewart, Abraham, McNeeley C: Johnson, Reed...

    2024 Recruiting: One more potential add?

    From my POV we are set everywhere. 2 Deep+ at guard. Seems like we have 45 wing players, and 2.5ish deep at Center.

    Three-Peat: Mainly a bet on the coaching staff

    ...the Huskies — especially with the way Dan Hurley and his staff have remade the roster in the three weeks since they cut nets in Arizona following a 75-60 victory over Purdue in the national championship game. Aidan Mahaney is the latest addition. The 6-foot-3 transfer from Saint Mary's...

    ...can contribute and Ross has a higher ceiling. If we didn't bring in McNeeley and lost AK. He might've have been able to be a contributor on the wing. But that wasn't the case. He entered the portal but can technical come back if we don't fill the last scholarship. Seems like he portaled...

    Koby Brea entered the portal. Please please Coach Hurley

    Brea seems like a fine player for the Joey Calcaterra role, but we needed a starting-caliber SG who can do more than that (so that we weren't just handing the spot to a guy in Solomon Ball who basically didn't play the second half of the year). Once we got Mahaney, we had a high enough floor at...

    Projected Starting Line Up

    ...Stewart Johnson Mahaney off the bench as the first guard. Nowell next. Some three guard lineups unless Ross or Abraham prove they can play backup at the 3/4, I do think one emerges as a solid backup. This coaching staff does very well with wing players. Center backup is obviously Hoss.

    Projected Starting Line Up

    Starters…Mahaney, Ball, Stewart, Karaban, Johnson Diarra the main guard off the bench, McNeeley the main wing off the bench, Reed the main big off the bench Spot minutes for Nowell, Ross, Abraham

    ...base, his legs are big for a basketball player. He probably needs to improve his lateral quickness defensively and he has an average to short wingspan for his size but he's well put together for a high school player and he gets up pretty damn well. He's not just a three point shooter or a...

    ...and higher volume Stewart - was close to picking him. He played well down the stretch and his development will be very important for our wing/frontcourt, especially if he's the starting 4 Samson - feels like he is what he is, and just needs to work on the fundamentals (defense, rebounding...

    I don't see it that way. It means no more additions, but it doesn't necessarily mean Karaban is gone. All in all, I respect this decision as it is the best move to increase the odds to minimize who on our roster hits the portal.

    Who is the more athletic guy?

    Aidan Mahaney COMMITS to UConn (Merged)

    I feel like McNeeley and Stewart should be swapped. You would want the more athletic guy on the wing, no? Also, I would be pretty surprised if Mahaney doesn't start over Ball.
