This board remains the best at evaluating talent.

And I am sure after watching him play your first thought was damn, what’s he doing at uri? He should be at Kentucky!

I haven’t given up on Nolley, Sango, or Mac. El-Amin wouldn’t be the worst option, either. We lad just have to play small.

Honestly, as much as I was hoping for another impact player, I think our team is a tournament team as it is. If Martin can play, then I feel really good. So even if we only had a bench player or even a project, I’ll be happy with the roster.

I suspect we see another big wave at the end of May if/when the transfer rule passes and more options are out there

I think that if there is no combine, a bunch of players who declared for the draft might decide to return to school. Some of them might enter the transfer portal, although I wouldn't expect too much of that. However, players who realized they are farther down the depth chart because of returning players might explore other options. Between that and the potential transfer rule change, I think other options will emerge.

Committed to Kentucky.
Glad he wasn’t good enough to play here.

To be fair Kentucky is absolutely hurting for bodies.

I like the kid as a rj type sit and train transfer. But he’s still more of a flier than the other transfers we have been targeting

But he had Oregon in his final three and is playing for a school who has 1 returning player. Doesn’t matter if he is good or a fit, he passes the boneyard test regardless. He has a eligibility and is in the portal, that’s enough for the boneyard!

The boneyard is the best. Guy who isn’t good enough to get our last scholarship ends up committing to probably the most difficult school to get a scholarship from.

You would think a certain poster wouldn't show his face in this thread and yet here he still is.

Nice strawman, bro. Why were all of these P5 coaches too dumb to listen to you?
 
Easy for UK to take a risk on this kid when they reload with an entire roster of 5* recruits every year. We don’t have that luxury..yet

The Steph Curry Effect

Steph blew up at Davidson
Seth transferee up to Duke

Seth Curry averaged 20ppg his freshman year. They’re not really comparable..

if anything, a better analogy would be Jaylen Adams and Brendan Adams
 
As someone who has been on the Boneyard thru multiple iterations there are some posters here that are a joke. We all know who they are. As I said earlier, let’s see who recruits Toppin and how his career develops. As a lifelong (1964) UConn fan, I’ve seen a lot of players and this kid has potential. The fact that he played limited minutes as a Fr at URI is no reason to say he’s not good enough for UConn. Maybe not a fit is another thing.

Obviously. The fact you believe Kentucky, in their current state and their affiliation with Nike , proves anything tells me all I need to know.

Noted. He is good but not might be a fit. Let’s wait to see how he pans out before we post judgement but let’s go ahead and post judgement on those who don’t think he is good. Got it. With all do respect, you are all over the place.
