If this was pre- NIL and all the portal movement I would agree. Now they can buy the players he wants/needs to quickly pull together a squad. He also has a pretty blank slate to fill the roster. Next year may be rough but for his year two he has zero excuses. His problem is that while his...

It's a bit different when it is literally the SM team at UConn bragging about it. They do a great job of promoting UConn, the teams and the players. Their video creations they put on Instagram of game highlights are usually great with non-TV angles. They deserve some recognition for what they do.

Agreed, that and if Cam was Hurley's alter ego, Proctor is Scheyer's - bland toast.

Duke has some pretty insane turnover this year. They are losing their top four scorers (Filipowski, McCain, Roach, Mitchell). Two of them to transfer. They retain five (Proctor) and six (Foster), eight (Stewart), nine (Power). Then they lose seven (Young) to graduation. They pretty much...

Hard to say from that but his FT numbers indicate he can’t but he did improve which is good. Sanogo was 0-1 from three through his sophomore year then went 19-52. So there is the possibility he just wasn’t allowed to shoot for Michigan. Sanogo did shoot better from the FT like through two...

I’d take him in the Joey C role.

Forgot that. Still fun system for him.

If he turns it around at all, him and Tominaga and the rest could be fun. They do love to bomb a three on that team

Ross was much lower for a lot of his senior year and jumped almost 50 spots in April last year in the composite. Not sure if he was not rated by a service, or he really just jumped that much in a few used in the composite.

Better than the topics about food IMO

No, he isn't but the fact he didn't start in high school has no bearing on that either.

That team is absurdly stacked though. 1, 13, 14, 16, 25, 80 in the class of 2024 nationally and a 7th man going to ODU.

Nope, that's on Craig, big gets the steal and should get the lob.

I think they are as high on Jason Green as UConn is on Stewart. If he pans out at the three/four they will have a capable starting five though the loss of Scheierman is still huge. They need something on the bench though. I don’t think they have anyone decent atm.

I tend to think about it like this: Napier - Diarra Newton Giffey - Roumoglou Karaban - Olander Clingan - Johnson 2 > 1

Perhaps he wants to play defense?

15 lbs to get up to what Oso weighed (guess and not easy with his body type) and stop reaching on defense and setting moving picks and he would be decent as a starter. Offensively he’s fine as a center. He makes good passes, cuts well, mostly sets good screens, and plays well on the PnR...

Castle would have “trouble” defending the best perimeter scorers from 99, 04 and 23. 99 and 23 were both quick trigger shooters who ran laps to get open around screens. Castle is a great defender but UConn never faced a guard who could catch and shoot as quickly as Rip/Hawk and both were...

Someone may disagree that this years NC team was better than last years NC team. lol. Jk.

Joey Cs biggest shortcoming was his body. If he was Hausens size he would have had a shot at the NBA. So if Hausen is a 6’4 Joey. Sign me up.

Agree but I just can't see him playing the three well defensively at all full time. I do think it's possible Flagg starts at the three, if you start Power. I however think they are more likely to start their new shiny SF/SG toys unless Power gets a lot stronger. That said, I can't see Stewart...

Used a good amount in parts of VA and the Carolina's from my experience.

Pope coached a very fun to watch BYU team, on offense. The defense on the other hand was wanting, IMO. It could be due to the quality of athlete he could get at BYU though. He should be able to recruit better at UK, but he is by no means Calipari when it comes to recruiting. I am really...

Ajou Ajou Deng not Majok. He wasn’t great but wasn’t horrible in limited minutes. His brother turned out to be a star though.

I can't see Power starting at the 3. He would be a mess defensively, though I guess with Flagg and Maluach behind him he has a lot of latitude. Stewart needs a lot of work to play the modern four, he is poor shooting for a center let alone a PF, even as a backup. Good rebounder though. I...

He would probably be the best returning big in the country (Dickinson is horrific defensively and Kalkbrenner showed some offense this year).

Cal was previously the Nets coach also with a similar win percentage in the NBA...hmmm. lol

Houston would be my non-UConn pick if healthy. They were probably better than Purdue in some ways (well basically anything not named Edey, to be clear I think Purdue would have beaten then because they couldn't stop/slow Edey without doubling) and have a lot returning, and they just have a good...

Forcing the backcourt was one I liked. And another wa castle stealing Smiths dump off pass to Edey.

I think Dan Hurley said he was in a box seat somewhere

He'll probably say if Purdue had gotten it's rightful #1 overall and worn white, they would have won.

Another thing that continues to surprise me is that Ollie is an NBA head coach.

I still find it a bit surreal that of all the players on this year and last year he is the most deserving to be on the wall, and he is.

I'm glad I bet on the repeat.
