I'm not saying it's impossible for UConn to ever find a 5 star PG, but this is a thread about next year's starting lineup. Where do you suggest we find this player with the majority of recruits already committed?
Except Martin can’t shoot or score.
So needing at least 2 new starters ie a PG and W doesn’t constitute rebuilding?
And another Hawkins
Cole is going to start at PG as Gaffney is a 2 guard who can backup at point in limited minutes. We better get a transfer that can shoot and start or hopefully Hawkins is as good as advertised. I don't want to see cole and gaffney as our starting guards especially with Jackson starting. Who is going to score? Lol
no reason why we'll hear about a rebuild then. as of next year all 13 guys will be hurleys
Don't insult John Gwynn like that!
Rahsool Diggins is the 46th ranked prospect in his class and the number 9 PG in the country. You’re aware he’s coming into the program right? He’s the future.
That’s a line up that scores 50 game with no outside threat. Going to be a tough year unless we find a 2 and/or 3 that can shoot lights out from 3.
frankly i dont see hurley bringing in a starting quality SG with hawkins on the way. that's an incredibly hard sell to make. i'm sure hawkins was sold on the idea of stepping into bouk's starting spot so what's the sales pitch for a transfer that would have to compete with a top 10 SG? i've never understood how UK can get two 5 stars that play the same position to commit together but we arent UK.
We’re going to grind teams down until Hawkins is ready to start and score.
I can assure you that Hurley never tells his recruits that they will slide into someone’s starting spot their freshman year. Each of his freshman has to earn a starting spot, that’s the Hurley way. Very unlikely we ever see a freshman start from day 1 with Hurley at the helm.
I assume that is the case, but I don’t think that’s going to win a lot of games for us. It might work early in the season against lower level competition but it’s not going to produce enough points against sizable teams that just pack the key and dare us to shoot from outside.
i didnt say anything about day 1 but everyone expects hawkins to start at some point his freshman season, just like bouk did. that can be true without being explicitly promised. but youre ignoring the bigger point. when hawkins committed there wasnt another starting worthy SG on the roster so that's quite a rug puller if hurley can somehow add one this summer. that's a different circumstance than diggins and samson realizing cole and sanogo would be ahead of them on the depth chart.
