If this kid is perceived to have anywhere close to the talents of Wemby, what are the chances he pulls out of the draft? Many NBA franchises select players based on potential. Now with that said him being the Italian Wemby might be a lot of hyperbole and he needs a lot of time to develop. Is...

Wow that kid can really finish!

I thought I saw him in video game and movie the other day and he didn't look all that tall to me. If we don't land him maybe he has a brother named Mario that we can get. Sorry, I couldn't resist😁

FWIW, UConn has moved up to number 12 in 247's transfer program ranking after adding Nils to our list. Totally unrelated to that, and not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but I find it interesting that his first name is NILs. I'm not sure why I found that amusing.

FWIW, I've always found the McDonald's All-American roster a bit political. It just seems that some programs always get their higher rated recruits in that game, while recruits from other programs sometimes get omitted. And even the rankings of certain recruits get elevated based on what program...

Let me add, does anyone really know what our or any other program's NIL is? If you take a look at the 247 top 100 transfers, the talent is widely distributed. 4 of the top 10 and 5 of the top 50 are still available, (though at least one of those top 10 might stay in the draft), so it's...

For the most part, I'm okay with it, but having to listening to the talking heads arguing what programs outside the top 76 should have made the field will be insufferable.

Why don't we just say he's a poor man's Spencer and then see what we actually got once we finally get to see him play. I do agree, that he has a more all around game than Joey Buckets.

Well put! He sounds like a hard worker and team first type of player. The fact that he put up really good numbers after 2 years of getting little PT and then coming here says a lot about who he is. I'm not comparing him to Cam, but I have a feeling he's gonna be much better than many realize...

Hurley and his staff are killing it! Welcome to the Basketball Capital of the World, Nils.

What did ownership and Breslow do to improve this franchise the past few years, especially after last season? While other top franchises were spending money to improve or retain their top players, other than trading for Crochet, the talent has been leaking out. Who on this team, other than...

Considering our primary and most effective 5 this past season was Reed listed at 6-11 and we did just fine against all those teams and might have beaten UM with better officiating, we'll probably be okay. Though I do wish we were and maybe still can add a 7 footer who could give us a few solid...

Oh well. Let's see how much they develop him. He's got a lot of interesting skills for a player his size. I wish we were able to add him in addition to OG, but there's only so much money and PT to go around.

I think they could play any combo of 2 of OG, Hines and Chol at the same time depending the matchup, especially Chol who can attack off the dribble. Did you see Chol's handle?

It's just a prediction, but there might be something there. I still want him. He brings a different dimension to the 4 & 5 from what Giltay and Hines bring. But with the addition of OG, not sure if we have or want to spend the NIL to get him, plus he might not like the PT opportunity with...
