Best of luck AK.

all bark, no bite and a lot of dollars in this lineup.

Don't believe Rylan Griffin has committed yet, but I believe they were the favorite to land him as well. Pretty nice and shiny haul in the portal for Self. Believe I read we are the favorites to land McNeeley at this time. DOOOOMED.

Don't disagree with you, Cam and Newton and Hass was an experienced backcourt trio. Hass, Ball, and Ross isn't very experienced and, as much as I like ball, he doesn't feel like he has much playmaking chops at this point in his development. Electric scorer and athlete for sure, but in my eyes...

I think we add two more. Potential for more if one of the sophomores transfers out.

I wouldn’t hate it tbh, I like the idea of having another facilitator on the floor. We are clearly targeting a wing and a shooter, but some more experience at point would be beneficial in my eyes if you miss out on Liam, Koby or hausen.

I agree, as good as McNeeley is, I think Stewie and ball would start and he’d be a 6-7th man. Curious to hear what everyone thinks on adding a shooter like brea/hausen or someone who is more combo guard/facilitator. This would be even if you assume McNeeley comes, still think an experienced...

Look at the locked on Uconn video I posted in the Liam McNeeley thread

States McNeeley is expected to visit next week per his sources at rivals, scroll to about 8:50

Hot off the presses...

Interesting. Don’t remember this name or visit at all being linked to us. It’s a connection.

Don’t disagree, It seems hausen wants us, would imagine we have a lot of foundation to lay with this guy.

Feels like it’s him or Hausen.

Not to rain on your parade, but I’m hearing providence has just as good a chance as anyone

I may need to bring out my trigonometry notes from HS. I think he can be an impactful defender in the NBA from day 1, he certainly has upward growth to maximize his ability to defend at the next level. On O, he has good hands but limited moves to go to, many times in the tournament we saw...

He was a stalwart on d and on the glass. He definitely needed (and still needs) to refine his offensive game outside of catching lobs and dump offs, ImO.

Take this with a grain of salt, but he nailed all 5 starters.

Good free throw rates tend to indicate potential for improvement from bad to mediocre three point shooters. I don’t see how we could reasonably use SJ as a 3pt threat in any capacity.

I’d go under just wheat

Reed/SJ center rotation with a schmearing of Youssef minutes.

high 20's wins. Fizzle out at a sweet 16 appearance. Mediocre coaching will be their demise.

where have we been connected to reed?

Does anyone see a 1+done? I think he's at least a 2 year guy.

Yes - probably won't be an NBA caliber defender that quickly. But what he lacks in defensive prowess, he makes up for in shooting and shot making.

I view him more as a jumbo 2 or wing. More slashing ability and athleticism than AK.

Question for people in the know - viewing practices is a big part of the recruiting process for us, How would it work with these transfers we're after and with McNeeley? Presumably there won't be any practices to view for quite a while. Perhaps i'm missing something

Yeah, it will take capital raising efforts. Where are all the billionaire UConn alum! Does anyone know if there’s a cap on NIL?

I'm hoping as part of Hurley's contract negotiation he asks Benedict to max out the NIL they can offer players.

I’d take mcneeley in a heart beat. Not sure what we’re talking about, he’s an elite hs talent that we always complain we don’t get.

Come on brah, If you've watched any of Hurley's recent podcast appearances you see Hurley discussing his vulnerable side (if that's what you're looking for). He's just intense on the court. You sound like a Purdue fan.

from what i've seen, we haven't had much of a link to either. But also we haven't had a real link to guys who have listed us in their top 4, 5, 6. We may end up landing guys we aren't even speculating about right now. I think I saw May was a blackout period where transfers couldn't be...

One might say we are a royal blue blood

Christ, Essandoko committed to our friends at providence*

Christ essandoko to our friends at providence.

you don't think he'd be undersized for a 5? I guess his game is more centeresque and I'd have a hard time seeing him play along side a samson or a more traditional center.
