2020 Recruiting: Niels Lane offered

Definitely possible. But assuming 3 schollies.. 1 has to be a big. Other than that, there's no true positional needs. If I'm Hurley I'm just getting the 2 most talented players available regardless of position. Especially if they have unique skill sets on the wing like JAR, Jackson, and Lane do.

A big for sure. But I think too many people here aren’t understanding Hurley’s focus on defense. Look at our targets. Hurley wants to build a defensive juggernaut. That’s UConn’s legacy as much as anything. Leading the country in blocks for nearly a decade. Winning a NC in the most defensive title game ever in 2011.

Like it or not, that’s the identity he’s shaping.

Jalen Rose is his son, that’s it, that’s all you get.

His top big targets have not been great shot blockers--cliff and kofi. Seems to be targeting size more for rebounding. Still defense, just a little different system maybe.

They also may just have been the best available and interested kids. And happened to not be elite shotblockers. Who knows
