I didn’t know it, but it made that video perfect. I downloaded it. I guess I’m only responding to you because, opinion on the song aside, the video overall is 30 seconds of pure cinema.

The 2 most important frosh left. I’m so excited for these guys to be the next UConn wings. I first thought this was going to be a rant against people supplanting them in the lineup with transfers. Glad to see it’s an ACTUSL opportunity to meet them.

If we get all 3…I think we’re the best team in America again. If AK returns there’s zero question in my mind. PS this is nuts - I said from the start my ideal would be all 3 if they buy in to what Coach is selling…if not, I think Mahaney and McNeeley are best duo but I’ll take any combo with...

Cam Spencer and Jordan Hawkins but in an NBA body, I guess that works for me.

Getting to this late….LETS GOOOOOO I’ve been wanting this kid to get involved with us since before he committed to IU, this is DANG exciting!!!!!

Post/Handle Well done, sir!

When his voice cracks and he makes the wrench symbol w his hand, I’d kill someone in that moment if he told me to.

This is so great! I actually am trying to find the video of Hurley yelling that to our guys - it gets me geeked and wanting to coach someone up! Lol

Jordan, Alonzo/LJ w/ the Hornets, Donyell. Then I shifted up to Ray, Penny, Glen Rice, Iverson, El-Amin. Any smooth 2s and shooters I’m way into. BG too. Matter of fact, in ‘96 no one touched Ray and MJ for me, but Kerry Kittles was another guy I LOVED. I’ve had plenty of favorites over the...

I need that video. Can’t find it.

I hate when basketball players who can jump super high dunk the ball

I get that - I’m closer to rooting for him than I’ve been since I can remember. And I like Arkansas, I got the ‘94 retro shorts for when they win I’ll claim fandom. But I can’t root for him.

That is weird, so weird I probably wont do it.

Agreed. Especially if the guys commit given those discussions.

I think Ball is between 20-25 so maybe drop a few mins from a guy or two there but I overall agree they can work with an 8-9 man rotation of guys who are bought in between 15-30 minutes per game.

Honestly, the roles / minutes are my only concerns. If Hurley and staff tell Mahaney his role, and he commits, I’m happy. I think him getting between 20-25 minutes is reasonably, starting or 6th man or whatever.

I agree. Koby Brea entered the portal. Please please Coach Hurley

Gottlieb is mostly a moron. I didn’t like JJ as a Dukie but not sure I see the comparison as an analyst. I know one thing, I’d take Doug at the FT line down 2. Ice in his veins.

Thank you sir. Brea is not committing if McNeeley does, by his choice OR the coaches…just my guess. We need another handler and passer, Mahaney happens to also be able to shoot and do a little of everything.

Love this - I said awhile back I wanted him and McNeeley with a big, I’d be REALLY happy with that group, so would you.

Kid better not just order a salad. He’ll be off the list unless he’s packin’ an artery.

I said just off the top of my head in another thread I think we’d be a top 5 team if we keep AK, add LM and any other contributing level guard.

(Mike Breen voice) BANG!

Is this kid at IMG?

I want McNeeley, AK and a guard. If I had to choose any available somewhat realistic guard, I’d say Traore and Mahaney would top my list. Diarra, Nowell, Traore/Mahaney McNeeley, Ball, Ross, Stewart, Karaban, Abraham Reed, Johnson, Singare I think we’re a top 5 team there.

That is the pitch…

That’s a great point. Hurley and co. know how to pitch this thing. He’s going to have the best coaching staff and best pitch men telling him how he can maximize his potential and getting the red carpet treatment from the top basketball program in the world.

This has me geeked. I looked from afar when he was committed to IU thinking “why, son, why?!” And now it’s all coming together. I can’t imagine they, as a family, don’t see how perfectly this makes sense. Gotta stay pessimistic though until it happens, for mojo.

It seems to me the more people watch him play, the more people are getting excited.

I’m with you on his point guard skill set. It’s what makes his projection intriguing. He’s got a Jimmy Butler type body and mentality but should grow into a great distributor and pick and roll maestro.

4 women's 6 men’s, I believe.

Meh, better looking.

He certainly is more aligned as a player with Butler, just his size, defensive ability and offensive strengths align with Brown also, IMO. It’s not to say he plays LIKE him, but he projects as a similar type of player to me, if that makes sense.

That will depend on a ton of things I don’t know or can’t know yet, but he definitely has the potential. He’s projected first round 2025, he’s got league size and can shoot at a really high level. A good season could easily have him upper first round. Don’t know his priorities though.

Guaranteed that would be me, bad equilibrium and some tailgating would have me spinning.
