Louisville was a mess. That may have had something to do with it.

That would be a good way to heat up a rivalry quickly

A target, I would imagine.
Bit of a walking turnover, but does some good things as well. Hopefully we can do better.

Agreed - not saying he's a perfect fit but likely we at least put him on our short to medium list.

Appleby did zero in the sec tournament game I went too. played little in crunch time. Maybe it was an off night, but didn’t seem to have a discernible strength. I think he was likely losing minutes and floridas guards were bad, not UF caliber.
I like the videos on the VMI guy or a similar quick guy and then a bigger guard like that can really score Newton, etc. Locke as third guard would be ideal. Prob not likely but one can wish.

Indianapolis born and bred Dre Davis just hit the portal. Another player from Louisville.
If I'm Matta, I'm all over him. Modest numbers: 7.4p, 3r, 50.7 2p%, but a physical, 6'5 220 wing who would be a solid pick up for a squad that has had underwhelming recruiting classes under Jordan.
According to VC, Davis wasn't offered by Butler, which is really surprising, since he was a top-125 prospect.
Three years of eligibility left.
FWIW, he was recruited by Luke Murray.

i wouldn't, but im not looking for a school switcher, 8th year stinko player who has 1 year left on the clock. it feels like we're looking for a barco lounger with cup holders and full dining seat service somewhere in the bleachers.
not likely to happen, unless we get that weird, one off chair with plenty of space around it cuz of the stadium design, which can be really great iffn it's a hot and sweltering day at the ballpark, and all u want to do is chillax, spread out, chomp some chow, and let the world slowly drift by on a delightful summer afternoon, with nothing on ur mind but wondering iffn that wasp buzzing around will sting the outfielder, or the cotton candy dude.

SHOOTING COMBO GUARD ALERT
Clemson's Al-Amir Dawes, 6'2 182 with two years of eligibility remaining. From Newark.
11.3p, 2.8r, 2.3a, 1.6 to, 0.9s. 42.2 2p%, 39.8 3p% (70% shot attempts are from three) and 84.7 ft%.
Not a true PG, per se, but with his shooting abilities, he would stretch the floor perfectly for Jackson, Hawkins, etc to attack the rim and Sanogo to do his thing in the post. Lots of kick out potential with Dawes.
I'd be very happy if we get him.

We ended up with Gaffney over Dawes and Wong the first time around. Rumor on here was he wanted to come to UConn but we took Gaffney instead. Hope we're involved here and correct that decision.

Can any insiders @husky99 @Zionn @NJHoops @Matrim55 @Hurleyman216 gives us some insight on why the staff seemingly hasn't been publicly connected to anyone yet? Do they not like anyone in the portal right now? Prioritizing Europe or international kids first?

I was told about Dawes’ impending departure late in the season from a Clemson grad assistant who shared some rough stories about Brownell being real, real old school.We ended up with Gaffney over Dawes and Wong the first time around. Rumor on here was he wanted to come to UConn but we took Gaffney instead. Hope we're involved here and correct that decision.

I only saw them once for a few mins after that - he didn’t stand out, but looked a little thicker than I expected. Not much to add, just that 1000% he won’t be going back to Clemson And obv has been a reliable shooter there.

Not an insider, but I am assuming UConn wants it quiet. There is no reason to be publicly linked to a transfer. When you hear UConn's involvement, it should be if said player is on a visit.

always interesting to take a trip down memory lane with this stuff...We ended up with Gaffney over Dawes and Wong the first time around. Rumor on here was he wanted to come to UConn but we took Gaffney instead. Hope we're involved here and correct that decision.

This staff is locked down on the recruiting front. Very little news gets out unless someone has a connection to the family or their AAU team. Literally... nothing.

Looks like a big combo/SG with some ability to pass the ball. Georgia kid. Might be hard to keep him out of the SEC.

No overlap, Dawes was a freshman in college the one year Sanogo was there/Johnson's 1st year there

Little surprised ppl aren't more intrigued by the St. Peter's kids. That's a tourney proven pg with Banks and a shooter with Edert. Both a little undersized but held up defensively against the Kentucky's of the world. We are loaded with jersey city connections with the Hurleys. Think they are both just destined for seton hall?

He'd be a good Martin replacement. The .604 2P% is insane though. This guy knows how to finish
