I can say first hand the money being thrown around by aome programs is staggering. He will get a bag and it will be for more than we thought possible. I know a starting pg at a P6 school who wasn’t even in the portal just get poached by another P6 school offering 3x the amount he currently is...

Would love to see him at Fairfield!

It’s rare for things in life to work out this well. During this years run I often thought of Steph’s parents and how amazing it must of felt watching this dream play out. He came in as a five star and played like a kid fighting for minutes. It was remarkable watching not just Steph but his...

He is as much a special person as he is an athlete. To completely buy in and put the team first, not relying on his stats, is beyond rare. There aren’t many like him. Can’t wait to cheer for Stephon for many years in the league!

Patience. I hear the backlog at Tipton edits is 10 miles long.

When it comes to college basketball free agency, this place and who some of us want gets weird.

Yes, the Wagner’s assumed he would go to Kentucky and be one and done. Things didn’t quite pan out that way. I am not suggesting there is any ill will and surely he can end up at Arkansas, but I just heard people talk as if it isn’t a certainty.

Not necessarily. Prevailing thoughts are he regressed under Cal. He arrived at Kentucky assuming he was one and done.

Uconn rarely gets guys like Boogie. We don't overpay.

Jaylen has all the tools. To me, he never felt fully confident this year. It seemed that he was alwasy thinking out there and trying hard not to make mistakes. In some ways, that held him back. He showed glimpses and looked spectacular in those moments. Wih a year under his belt and full summer...

So let me guess, you have three kids, all born in Jan with a fourth potentially on the way? Kudos to you. My wife hates sports.

So the last two years Danny and the staff hit grand slams in the portal. Why? They didn’t go for the most talent. Instead, they chose the best pieces for our system and culture. You can debate all you want. Fact is, at this point, questioning this staff is idiotic and a waste of time.

I guarantee anyone negative on Tarris never even saw him play. I actually think he would be a key contributor next year. He has that much potential.

Alex is a unique case. I really believe he set a floor in where he will be drafted. So there is upside in coming back draft wise. I also know how much his parents value education. To be able to graduate in three years and if nil matches a two way deal, it may make sense for Alex to return to...

Works for me.

Been saying this for two days. In person, Tarris is far more impressive than just looking at his stats. He has the chance to be extremly good in this system.

Man, so thankful Marc went to UConn. This guy is an absolute rockstar behind the scenes.

What a week! Congrats Adama!

He may be more athletic than people are giving him credit for. He is very good.

i would be very excited if we get him. he is way better than the box score says. michigan was a total dumpster fire. saw him live and i walked away very impressed at that time.

What an amazing two year run!!!! Congratulations to Donovan for all the good still to come!

Also, you can’t just look at the box score. If so, they would assume Donovan gave up 37 and was largely ineffective.

It’s clear those who aren’t excited haven’t seen him play. He could be Jeff Adrien type warrior for this team. Don’t let the mess at Michigan fool you. This kid can ball.

I think Tarris got caught up in the mess at Michigan. I saw him in person at the start of the big ten season and obviously,without knowing what the future may hold, walked away very impressed. He is big, strong, athletic as hell. With this staff, he has the potential to be an absolute beast.

Luke Murray somewhere probably: challenge accepted!

Calling all the boneyard social media savants…..has the staff started following anyone in the portal recently?

This wasn’t a good hire, it was a safe hire. Barnhart had no choice. They couldnt afford the humiliation of being rejected again.

It’s called back channels. It couldn’t become public until next week but I am certain they knew whether Billy Donovan was interested. He wasn’t.

Mark Pope is a very good coach. This is a horrible hire for Kentucky. Regardless of how you define success, it will never be considered enough by the fan base. It’s like writing a love story, expecting George Clooney to be the lead and getting Paul giamatti instead.

Kansas will pitch what it does best: offer excessive nil. UConn will pitch what we do best: build champions and develop pros. I think Liam’s choice will tell us all what we need to know.

This 100%. Danny wasn’t raised with money as a lone motivating factor. He saw his Dad for atleast 15 years turn down more lucrative deals to coach college. Every single year. But Bob was loyal to Jersey City, to the boys and girls club, and St. Anthony’s. That was greater than money. Fast...

He is a great coach. I don't see him as a fit at Kentucky. This is a stretch.

I saw Reed a few times in person this year. Very active and a hell of a player. I would love for him to come to UConn.

I know we shouldnt speculate but could you imagine how confused they would be if Andre Johnson jr transferred there.

Exactly. How was our turnout in St. Pete in 1999? I also think being so close the first two weekends didn’t help. If you attended those games, it already got expensive and then flights to phoenix were outrageous. Point is, I just feel this time around was more a confluence of events than a...
