2022 Transfer Offer Thread

[HuskyHawk]

Was just trying to make wordplay lol, I have no idea about him.

Ahh ok. When I saw his post, I thought "ok, unheralded CG with some size, this is exactly what we'd want on the bench this year", kind of a future potential Vital.

 

[Samoo]

Well I doubt Solo Ball would be a pure point.

I once knew a guy with that problem.

Rumor has it that Hitler only had one.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Another transfer we offered will be off the board today:

The most ideal fit would be a ballhandler with multiple years of eligibility who might come off the bench next season but compete for a starting job in the future. The staff appears close to getting such a player on campus for a visit.

This staff loves mystery players.

Solo Ball

Analytics huh? Many sports trending that way not a fan but we will see. I kinda hope the coaching staff can watch a kid a few times and figure it out but I get it, just another option or view of a kid’s strengths/weaknesses.

Solo Ball

The quote is specifically about transfers and was published post Ball visit.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Pulled this from the Analytics article. Seems about right to me.

With Newton and Alleyne in tow along with returnees Jordan Hawkins and Andre Jackson, the most ideal fit might be a ballhandler with multiple years of eligibility who might come off the bench next season but compete for a starting job in the future. The staff appears close to getting such a player or two on campus for a visit.

UConn is also considering Class of 2022 high school recruits and/or international players. Junior college players aren’t a focus right now, but not entirely out of the question.

What transfers are we currently recruiting?

What transfers are we currently recruiting?

In top 5 for Femi Odukale, he has been radio silent on his recruitment since dropping that top 5 a couple weeks ago that included UConn. Think he made a visit to URI a couple weeks ago.

They were recruiting Rudi Williams, but appears that recruitment has cooled since getting Alleyne so I would consider that out.

They reached out to Courtney Ramey as well but after he played at PIT and getting Newton and Alleyne it appears UConn is out.

Dexter Dennis is out there as well but he appears to be headed elsewhere since his recruitment has been pretty public with no mention of UConn recently.

Basically it's either Femi (which I think would be a great get for reasons previously cited), or it's a player we have yet to hear about at this point like a Max Jones at DII Tampa since I saw some people tweeting about him last week. Haven't seen anything official but I wonder if he is one of the guys being talked about.

People have also discussed on here about Hassan Diarra given his brother is on that staff and he's from the area. No clue if staff is interested but the only other name from Jones that seems to be getting thrown around without anything official attached to it.

VILLANOVA STATUS. Every eligible returning player and recruit except Bryan Antoiine is returning for 2022-2023.

They are very much interested in Diarra.

Moore is their best player and won’t return next year most likely. That does though provide opportunity for Whitmore to step up

Some of those names couldn’t even find minutes on a team desperate for more answers in the FF with a huge injury. But whatever they’ll be ok no doubt.
