I think they can coexist, diarra would likely have the most secure minutes on the team if he returns. Im more concerned about a guy like ball feeling like he’s getting squeezed for minutes.

Thanks for your input, Fishy. Always appreciated. You seem like a real smart guy yourself.

Booooo rush your decision and come to UConn.

Good point?

And rich schnyderite and Steve Stratton. I haven’t actually seen the Shaw one on the site, but I saw it posted here somewhere

He must be intrigued by the prospect of his 6mpg by the end of next season at dook

Fishing around for more NIL?

I remember guarding Jose Juan Barea at Northeastern. No idea who he was, he was short for a D1 player (i'm 5'11, he's maybe 5'8 ot 9). Suffice it to say I was thoroughly cooked like an overdone steak at capital grille that day. Great to compete against D1 guys though to truly appreciate the...

Can't have two non shooters on the court, Samson at the four would require Reed or Singare also on the floor. This would be a weak offensive lineup to say the least and I would expect there are 0 minutes any of those two are on the court together over the course of next season. Multiple...

Wowwww brea/Mahaney package deal?

Agree and that's why it should be part of the pitch to retain Hass and recruit Mahaney. Our offense was the best in the country with multiple facilitators.

Maybe he doesn't play 30 minutes, he'll play 22-24 in order to give ample minutes to other guards in the rotation.

Me too. But it’s a reality of portal life these days

Don’t think we should assume AK is back with the latest rankings and mock drafts that have come out. Feels like an Andre situation.

No, I thought I remember a bunch of pictures posted to IG and Twitter while Flagg was here. Perhaps it was after he left and I'm misremembering.

The visit seems like it's been pretty quiet.

Ugonna Onyeso from UK hitting the protal..

Agree 100%, I was just saying I ruffled some feathers saying I liked the idea of recruiting a combo guard with facilitation skills to play over Solo. I still like his outlook, but he's a scorer through and through. Hoping he can still play 20ish minutes even if we hit on 2 more guys.

We did have good rebounding guards. I don't think we can reasonably expect Samson to come close to Clingan's rebounding numbers, Especially if he continues to be a hedge defender rather than play drop coverage. Maybe Reed can slide into the drop/best rebounder on the team role. But to your...

Agree - I'm just saying that is the most glaring weakness at a quick glance to that hypothetical roster. Clingan was a luxury on the glass, so we might need to expect some regression in that regard even if we do add another big.

Rebounding

I like the idea of adding both. Have to imagine part of the pitch would be for heavy minutes for Mahaney, which would likely leave Solo coming off the bench. It's a point of contention on this board whether Solo is ready to start.

Kembuckets you’re a doofus. Disregard

So he’s visiting UConn and VA. He’s already visited creighton. Has already visited or will eventually visit Florida Kentucky and USC? The post reads like he’s visiting these schools But these other ones are the schools he’s actually considering.

Was just going to ask this. Any word on the vibes mom is getting?

Have to imagine duke and Kansas aren’t looking great with all the experience and talented depth they have on the perimeter. Kentucky building from the ground up with a ton of NIL seems like a tough team for us to beat out for Brea.

Is he? That’s weird.

My concern level for Michigan is about as high as my concern level was for Purdue…not high.

Don’t think he’s released a “heard from” list with 25 schools yet.

Also experience. I’d be surprised if Samson didn’t start.

FWIW, locked on zags (Gonzaga) posted a video about Traore as a prospective commit a month ago. Perhaps they made first contact.

We don't have real traction or you don't like the fit? Something else?

Do we know how seriously he is considering us? He wouldn't be able to make any NIL in the states, correct?

Entire starting 5 in the top 50 according to this big board, including Karaban at 33. https://theathletic.com/5382764/2024/04/19/nba-draft-big-board-stephon-castle-donovan-clingan-connecticut/?source=user_shared_article
