Important thing here is that he has no other visits scheduled. You know how our program works, in a little over a month we’ll be practicing getting ready for our euro trip. Hurley is going to press for a commitment on the visit.

McNeeley is a traditional small forward. Brea is a big shooting guard. I think they can coexist.

I don’t think we’re targeting him but your scouting report is off, the kid is a lights out 3 point shooter and I liked his defense.

He’s Irish…..

I still think we’re a bigger 6’4+ dynamic shooting guard short. Hurley would describe him as a “winning player”.

They’re similar in the sense they both have freakishly long arms for their stout build.

I don’t like that Cal showed up there. I’m afraid he made Liam a large $ offer(say $1.5 million) that we can’t come close to matching(Dauster reporting we can offer 750k). I do think money matters to some degree here. Single mother, sole proprietor of a startup.

Boooo. Keep letting us dream about the Diarra, Roach, Nowell point guard super trio.

Off topic. But shout out to Barstool sports. The amount of positive media that site has given us is probably worth tens of millions.

I like that he does a bit of everything. What took our offense to the next level this year was that the off ball movement guard was a triple threat coming off a screen/pin down, whereas Hawkins was pretty much just a shooter.

Seems like a good culture fit. Perfect body for setting screens. Something we do a lot of. Glad he’s aboard.

I kind of feel bad for these coaches in league. The league this year was as good as it had been in the past 5 years. We have the most well coached league in the country, and we had a lot of familiar faces still around. We just made them all look far worse than they were and it hurt the league in...

Do we know why he was coming off the bench? Strange that you get a mid-major bench guy basically getting his pick of high major school to transfer to.

If we’re going to go smaller at the 1 and 5 I’d like to have some height at the 2 and 3. Brea and McNeeley would be perfect.

The football portal scene is wild. Hurley would be losing his mind.

He has all the talent in the world. But he needs to get to a place where he’s more sure of what he’s supposed to be doing on the court in the sets. Hass, Cam, TNew, etc were much more assertive. Ball caught the ball and hesitated which threw off the timing of the plays.

This is becoming a bit of a trend where we recruit players whose mothers were D1 college basketball players. Clingan, Castle, Flagg, McNeeley…

It’s nice seeing Clay Travis giving us some love. Only took two consecutive run away Championships to do it.

It’s going to dry up a bit as soon as there’s any sort of economic downturn, this isn’t sustainable.

At that size with those efficiency numbers I wonder why his usage was so low.

maybe since he’s already gotten his bag he’s ready to focus on basketball? Idk tho, father situation seems weird. Maybe Hurley knows him. We definitely have a spot for a 2 guard.

The real question is who’s going to be #2 in CBB.

I believe he’s friends with Ahmad Nowell. Philly/Camden hoops legends. Active on each others socials. He has the quickest first step I think I’ve ever seen.

For the love of everything holy please god do not let this kid get drafted by the Charlotte Bobcats.

No, if he’s guaranteed ours hold on the offer, make him earn it, for his own well being. Offer him next year.

PG: Hass, Nowell SG: Ball, Portal, Portal Wing: Stewart/McNeeley(?), Ross PF: AK, Stewart, Abraham C: Johnson, Reed(?) Surprising amount of carryover assuming all our kids come back. We have one player at each position who has started or gotten a lot of minutes. Most teams are seeing heavier...

What’s fascinating about his shot is that the ball rarely touches rim on his makes. He makes a higher % of swishes than anyone else from this class I’ve watched.

Neptune is in a tough spot, the school is telling him he needs to win now in year 3, at the same time he’s losing his entire team and all the Wright holdovers and there’s no evidence that he can coach at this level.

McNeeley holds offers from every school in the country man, he’s a day one starter everywhere, Team USA starter. He’d slide right into the 3, now an offensive weakness becomes a strength, teams sagged off of Castle all year! He shoots 50% from. 3 vs the best competition. The spacing will be much...

Does anyone have data on where we ranked historically on shot quality? Have to think we broke some kind of record.

The fact he would attend it guarantees he’s coming here. Every big man we’ve been linked to thus far has been a physical broad shouldered guy. I suspect Danny views physicality as an area of weakness. Z doesn’t fit the mold. I think Z follows Cal to Arkansas $$$$

This is true but there are so many risks associated with bringing in a kid who’s had bad parenting, rough upbringing. It’s easier to teach kids the basketball stuff than it is to teach them all the requisite work ethic, communication skills, self motivation, coping skills, etc, that has to come...

This is very true. Howard is good at attracting talent but not good at coaching or developing. He’d probably be a stud here.

Alex Karaban is the one player that I think is most difficult to replace. He’s the smartest kid on the team, a real leader, extension of the coaching staff on the floor, the one performing most actions in sets, ability to stretch the defense from the 4 spot. As long as we keep Danny Luke and...

He bulked up/filled out a lot over the last year. If you watch his tape from 2022 he’s leaner and appears to be more fluid and agile. But now he’s become a much more efficient player. His defense will be fine at this level bc he’ll have such good positional size on the perimeter, and he’s...
