Hope we get 30 good minutes of Clingan playing 1v1 and 10 minutes of Slamson/help from Diarra and Spencer's quick hands. SJ has given us really good minutes recently, he's a crazy efficient weapon in both transition and the half court.
I'm not refuting this with any inside info, but Omoruyi hasn't officially entered the portal yet. Also I don't get why grad transfers wouldn't just wait until the regular portal window closes - Cam increased his market value and was able to get a sense of how competitive his suitors rosters...
Cliff Omoruyi reportedly will be entering the portal. Staff wanted him bad out of high school but ended up with Sanogo reclassing instead. Pike will be under pressure to win big next year with 2 top 5 recruits.
Unconfirmed buzz on the St John's board about Des Claude too, but Xavier is still...
Maluach turns 18 in September. Flagg turns 18 in December. Consider me very skeptical that two of the youngest players in the class are going to form a dominant front court next season. They are both obviously great prospects.
Give me a 4th or 5th year transfer center instead, chip on the...
Less contact than Elmarko Jackson's game-saving "steal" where he hacked Diarra literally above the elbow. Refs should be replaced by AI drones and converted into biofuel.
I love being vindicated in less than 24 hours by a multi-billion dollar franchise. I hope Jordan uses the increased reps to improve his shooting efficiency (38%) and defense.
To the people telling him that he's a Top 3 rookie and just being victimized by a secret anti-UConn conspiracy - you are...
Shooting guards CJ McCollum and Trey Murphy III are both top 10 NBA SGs in Player Efficiency rating right now. Brandon Ingram and Naji Marshall both top 20 at SF. Even Dyson Daniels is ahead of Hawkins in PER.
I'm not ripping Hawkins - I think he's gonna be a great NBA player - but you people...
You guys need to actually watch the NBA. Pelicans have multiple big strong guards that can shoot and/or defend better than Hawkins at this point. Hawkins played big minutes early because most of those guys were injured and shot 36% from 3. Save your outrage for something more worthwhile -...
IMO don't bother antagonizing the Friar fans. UConn winning another National Championship combined with Cooley abandoning one of his best teams in March then leaving for Georgetown did immense psychic damage to them.
UConn athletics is literally the most discussed topic on Friar Talk - 31...
A spot to discuss the former Huskies fighting for roster spots and rotation minutes on NBA teams right now.
- Jeremy Lamb is back with the Kings with a non-guaranteed/training camp deal...
The UConn mood was pretty gloomy last Summer after the NMSU upset and when neither Cole nor Martin returned for their fifth year. Almost nobody thought we were a top 25 team entering 2022-23 other than Borges and you could even say Hurley was on a warming seat.
In retrospect, the injuries to...
I hadn't seen any mention of this until Isaiah shared a post on his IG story. Same league as Niels Giffey, now playing for Bayern Munich. Heidelberg looks like its 90 minutes from the US Army base with 23,000 Americans in Stuttgart. Nice landing spot for Isaiah next season...
“[I’m] working on my shooting, playing off the ball – I think next year I’ll play on the ball and off the ball,” Newton said. “Having a great point guard come in next season, it’ll be like an NBA system, honestly… I feel like we can both play on and off the ball, we’re not both ball dominant but...
Nice to hear that Danny infers a connection between our January struggles and his incident with a certain high-stepping ref… because I would like to win the Big East next year, please.
If I were really petty I would dig up some of those tweets from PC fans about their program surpassing UConn with their 3 tournament wins in 12 years and a BE title won by not having to play against the top teams due to Covid cancellations. But it would appear that a higher power is punishing...
I’m genuinely shocked how arrogant this mediocre coach is acting… at this point Providence making him a top-paid coach would be the most cucked move imaginable. His pretty good team collapsed because of him.
Getting thumbs down for mild criticism of Andre? I expect more from a Junior captain who talks about NBA aspirations.
2 points, 5 fouls, 5 turnovers, yet another arrogant technical foul for trash talking while giving up 19 on 7-9 shooting to Javan Johnson.
I don't believe in ripping or...
I don't know what else to say about the refs. I guess we know what happens when you call Jeff A a "fūčcing clown" 5 times on national TV. They look out for their own. Hard to win a 40 minute game when you are getting whistled for slight contact on one end, and elbowed in the face on the other...
