Is is too early to start a "UConn Baseball 2024" Thread. Projected roster, transfers in and out.

Love this pic. Five championships and 5 superstars

Someday he will learn to coach

The 4 guard transfers have been huge throughout the season. Each with high points and low points, but all saw meaningful time. They each had to make a decision about challenging themselves as players at a top level school vs. guaranteed time with a lateral move or step down. Joey C, Alleyne...

Two double doubles off the bench with a projected significant contributor (Johnson) still injured. This team can win convincingly with 2 or more star players having off nights. Four subs (Jackson, Clingnan, Cal, and Diarra) outscored the starters. A level of depth that is rare in the transfer...

Mora’s best hire. He has built a cohesive o-line that has helped a true freshman QB mature. Top notch run blocking w/ opposing teams knowing what is coming. UConn threw the ball more today and gave up 0 sacks. When you talk about increasing the assistant’s salaries Sammis is first on my list

This was posted in the Diarra commit thread, but I thought it deserved its own. Just an amazing blast from the past.

Rudy recently moved into the top 100 scorers in NBA history. Currently at number 99 having moved past Elton Brand at 100. Not sure how many years he has left, but he could pass some impressive players with a couple more years at 10+ per game.

ugh!!

Need to continue the urgency to scheduling and get the 2021 schedule cemented in place and out to the public. That would do a ton for public perception (ticket purchases) and recruiting of the 2021 class any beyond. Additionally it would make a TV deal more tangible. Now is the time to get home...

It is amazing how mediocre Duke is when they only have 3 first round draft picks playing vs. 4.

I say no. Will do a variety of shots but can’t stand Tequila.........or gin

Summer league game on NBA Tv

They are bumping the minimum salary to $35k plus housing and insurance. Will be interesting to see if others follow Bazley down this path.

Why the angst about our three previous commits? Unless Hurley saw them as great fits in his system why should he lock up 3 scholarships for 4 years. It is all part of a coaching change. UConn hoops has not been part of a conventional coaching change in decades. Decommits and re-evaluation of...

...put a nail in Syracuse's tournament hopes. Always a pleasurable sight. BC has disected the zone with great efficiency.

Just check out Rick Barnes and Tennessee. Hired in 2015 and put together 2 recruiting classes that are literally a bunch of 3 stars. Projected as a 3 seed. Barnes has a desk on the floor of the gym and spends virtually no time in his office. He coaches and teaches. Amazing to watch them...

Syracuse - 45 RPI, 51 Kenpom - now in 10th place in the ACC. Best wins Louisville, Miami, Buffalo?? Providence - 47 RPI, 69 Kenpom. Followed up win against Nova with losses to Butler (away) and Seton Hall (home). 6th in BE so may get a bid based on conference reputation. BE is truly a 4...

Maybe he had it all together in his younger days, but for the last decade he had some brutal play-by play calls. His ACC basketball work and UNC/Duke infatuation was also very unappealing. Sadly, EPSN took him off the ACC and assigned him to the old BE for a few years. Mike Patrick has no...

He is the only one that could convince Ollie to walk away quietly without it costing the program millions. Calhoun can't feel good about watching what he built over decades being torn down in a few years. Although Ollie was his choice, will his pride in UConn get him to take action?

Jerry Kill has resigned as Rutger's OC due to health reasons. If Diaco would have taken AD Dave's recommendation and hired Kill as UConn's OC Diaco would likely have stayed as HC. We can thank Diaco for his stubborness and egotistical stand against AD Dave's idea. Kill would have put in his...

With no word from the ethics board, does Corey’s contract w/ UConn end soon. What is the stud of this crazy situation?

Beat Oregon and UConn gets #2 Michigan St. (assuming they beat DePaul). That would give UConn games against currently ranked opponents as follows: #2 MSU, #3 Arizona, #5 Villanova, #6 Wichita St (twice), #12 Cincinnati (twice). Need to find a way to win a couple of those games, but the SOS...

He is getting 33 minutes per game at USF averaging 12.3 ppg, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in their first 3 games. He is shooting 56% from the field and has actually made a few 3 pointers. 3-4 or 75% on 3's. There is no stat for # of dribbles per foot.

Jeremy Lamb has taken to the starting role in Charlotte and is averaging 17 pts 5 reb and 30+ minutes per game so far this season. He had his best game last night with 20/6/7. The fact that he is getting the minutes means that he has upped his defensive game also.

10-12 or 83% in the first 4 games after making 16-20 (80%) in the pre-season vs 38% for his career.

Wins will come, but at least I can enjoy the game and be proud of what is on the field.

My argument is that it is easier to change and refine a defense than change and refine an offense. UConn has it's most productive offense in years and it seems to be growing and evolving from game-to-game. I would much rather have that than the inept offense we witnessed over the last 3 years...

OK, find a way to beat UVA on the road and there is a chance that UConn could be 3-0 after getting ECU at home for the 3rd game on Sunday 9/24. The Sunday game makes a short week going to SMU which will be brutal. Assume best case after 4 weeks of 3-1, ok with 2-2. It is a crap shoot after...

Hamilton has started out as a model of consistency. He has scored 14 points and had 9 rebounds in each of the first three games. Shooting almost 60% from the field and over 40% on 3s.

Davidson over VCU St. Joes over St. Bonaventure Seton Hall over Butler Creighton over Providence Oregon st. vs USC is essentially a do or die game for both as they are bith bubble teams

Suspended for a game for criticizing his coaches on Twitter. Tweet said he will play out this year then transfer. I know I am being very K-tuckish but Hayes is from Brooklyyn, was recruited to ND by Diaco, and was "stunned by Diaco departure" but still stuck w/ ND. He is a true sophomore so...

UConn moved up to #88 with the close road loss to Missouri. Now ahead of: Washington St (90), Wake (94), Rutgers (96), Colorado (103), Vandy (111) and Kansas (123)

2013-14 in AAC- louisville is reigning NCAA champion, goes 29-5 w/ losses to Memphis (2), Cincy, Kentucky, and UNC. All were ranked when the beat Louisville. Louisville also wins AAC tourney and are ranked #5 in the country. They are a #4 seed in the tourney. 2014-2015 in ACC - Louisville...
