Assuming Castle leaves for the NBA, that leaves us with three open scholarships.

UConn has reached out to

McNeeley
Roach
Mahaney
Brea
Hausen (?)
Who else has UConn reached out to?

 

[uh-no]

we don't want roach. he plays hero ball WAYYYYY too often.

I like Roach’game and he definitely fills our need for 3rd ball handler. I like the idea that we turn the tide and dukes recruits start to go to Huskies.

For shooting, I prefer Brea > Hausen (BE guard) > Mahaney

Scheyer can't coach

Diarra?

 

[JRDBWK]

No Hassan on the grid?

 

[McLovin]

I think TCF said the other day that he doesn't count COVID seniors until they explicitly announce they are back. While Borges has hinted at it, I don't think Hass has put out an "official" statement yet he plans to return and use the extra year.

Hence why Hass isn't on the grid.

If Castle leaves and Diarra is back, do we have 2 open?

I believe so

 

[upstater]

I fully expect Samson to apply for a 5th redshirt year based on his injury.

We may have our centers for the next 2 years

Assuming Castle leaves and Karaban and Diarra stay, I'm thinking we're bringing in three.

Reed is the first.

I'm hoping McNeeley is the second.

That leaves the last spot for a guard, so one of Brea, Hausen, Mahaney, etc.

A Reed-McNeeley-Brea/Hausen haul would be amazing.

 

[Karmacop]

That would give us the following ten-man rotation:

PG: Diarra - Nowell
SG: Ball - Brea/Hausen/etc.
SF: Stewart - McNeeley
PF: Karaban - Ross
C: Johnson - Reed

With Singare, Abraham, and Roumoglou rounding out the bench.

I'd roll the ball out there with this squad.

 

[EBonz30]

I think Mahoney could be a nice get- I know he had a down year compared to his frosh year- but I think he has the skill & IQ to be a nice fit.

 

[navery12]

I fully expect Samson to apply for a 5th redshirt year based on his injury.

Neither of his injuries were season ending and he played more than 7 games anyway. He's not eligible for a medical redshirt

 

[Hi-Low]

I think biggest need is an experienced quality ball handler / shooter with decent size. Diarra / Nowell both in the 6 ft range, Ball 6' 3".... I think all 3 will have big roles next year. But a quality / experienced 6' 4"+ guard (like Brea) would be a big help.

 

[boog204]

Not to derail, but is there a reason TCF doesn't post here anymore?

Four open slots until Diarra and Karaban announce they’re coming back

Can you believe how Duke is losing their whole team just about? And they are going to be preseason top 5?

duke boards are in meltdow, with good reason. They are keeping 3/11 players....2 to the league, 1 out of eligibility, 5 transfers.

It should be an embarrassment to the program that they had 5 outgoing transfers (i think it actually might be 6 or 7, with oft not playing schutt and reeves leaving i think). Scheyer has said he intended to build a roster where people stick around, and has utterly failed at that.

Duke fan copium is that "times have changed".....how many outgoing transfers does uconn hvae? 0?

Something is rotten in durham...

 

[UConnSwag11]

So possibly Claude, McNeeley, Traore (nothing concrete) assuming Diarra is back and Karaban is gone. I think Karaban should go if he’s guaranteed $$$

No problem. The refs will work that much harder to get duke in the elite eight and fans will be happy.

This is what happens when you stockpile 5 stars and there’s not enough PT. I’ve preached this for years that PT is the what players crave the most and will leave without it. Hurley has been able to build rosters with depth, hope we keep our players.

@aburks41 said Claudes parents are mental. Pass

and yet ball, stewart, ross, and singare all are sticking around, while equivalently played players at duke are noping out. (hope i don't eat my words on this one...)

Oh and johnson despite being "recruited over" with reed.
