    Glue Got Game

    I have. But it's also irrelevant. Our coach has said himself he needs to improve his defense. I'm just confused why you thought you could analyze this kids defensive abilities when he plays the same minutes as Andrew Freaking Hurley.

    Glue Got Game

    You haven't seen him play a meaningful second of basketball. His PT, like everyone's, is being earned in practice.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    I prefer Illinois, but anything will be fine. I think we have a Shannon-stopper in Castle.

    San Diego State Post Game Thread

    He's 19 years old and ripping the ball from grown men 20-30lbs heavier than him with ease.

    Glue Got Game

    His defense isn't good enough right now to earn real minutes. But I think if he develops that defensive IQ over the summer, he and Abraham will have a real battle to back up AK and Stewart next year.

    How to guard Jaedon leedee

    He had only 3 points and 1/6 shooting in the second half IIRC. It looked to me like we had Clingan/Johnson stay home and only help with a show instead of relying on the switch. Clearly it paid off.

    San Diego State Post Game Thread

    Castle was an absolute animal tonight. 16/11/2, and made every single shot at the rim. That hit he took at the rim would have killed me. He just tucked his chin and kept playing. Clingan had a bad first half. We got away from the forced post-up and he looked much better. WAY better on Ledee...

    It's obviously worked out for him... but PASS. No way is that good for the culture.

    Practice Gloves question

    Someone asked about it the other day and I posted this: The gloves make it harder to dribble because you can't feel with your fingertips. Then when you go back to no gloves, it feels way easier to dribble. Like these There's also things like heavy basketballs and basketballs with no grip you...

    OT: Gavin Griffiths Question

    I agree, but Griffiths is clearly a better player.

    NBA not enthralled with Zach Edney

    His name is Edey. Are we really supposed to take you seriously if you can't spell his name?

    UConn and the Transfer Portal

    No one said that. And it would be a lie if they did. We are contacting people in the portal (and before the portal) just like every other program in America. This is what our coaches are paid millions to do.

    UConn and the Transfer Portal

    Yup. I'd expect some of Diarra, Nowell and a big shooting guard at the 3 when Stewart sits. I'd be surprised if Nowell isn't playing more than 20mpg.

    UConn and the Transfer Portal

    On the surface I agree. I do wonder about his cultural fit. But our staff is careful about that, so I'm not concerned if we do offer.

    Idk if it was this thread or another, but that Rutgers insider on X (Richard Kent or something?) seemed to think he was Storrs-bound.

    2024 Recruiting: Riley Kugel top 4

    I like this offer. He looks like a Castle-lite to me. Good defender, shooting is promising. And okay (but not great) atost everything on offese. He entered the portal kess than 24 hours ago. For those thinking we aren't playing the transfer game and talking to guys before they enter... you're...

    OT: The Ringer: 2024 NBA Draft Guide

    The Athletic is a great resource. Vecenie's big board with all the analysis he puts out is better than you'll find anywhere. The Ringer sucks. Don't evem get their stats right.

    Boston Thursday Roll Call

    I moved my wife's office TV into the bathroom and the other into the bedroom. Haven't left either in 24 hours. Slept maybe 2. Watched a ton of old Bird, Magic, MJ games from back in the day. Way better than work, and I've got 13 sick days to burn by June 19.

    OT: John Calipari to return as Kentucky men's basketball coach

    Having a relevant coaching styl and philosophy is a fickle thing. The best stay flexible with the times. That's why Calhoun is a legendary coach and Cal will never be better than "very good."

    UConn and the Transfer Portal

    Abraham or the Greek will back up Karaban most likely IMO. And Ross is not a 2, or close to it. Griffiths slots in that role better in thos hypothetical.

    2024 Recruiting: Big Cliff Omoruyi enters portal

    Karaban isn't nearly the prospect Clingan is and will most likely be back in Storrs. He'll still declare and get feedback, but it's probably going to be round 2 at best. In which case he'll stay.

    No seats are bad seats when UConn is in the sweet-16 man. I'll be there in the nosebleeds too.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If DC wants to remain at UConn, Hurley should cut his scholarship. It is time for him to get his bread--he's earned it.
