2022 Transfer Offer Thread

[Hey Adrien!]

Good morning,

I've made a spreadsheet of the stats of the transfers we've currently expressed interest in. I'll keep it updated throughout the spring/summer if you'd want it to be pinned. Here's the link.

Thanks, and by “we,” you mean Dan Hurley, or we experts on the BY?

As always thanks

Nice, I feel like the high APG guys bring something we need to change the culture of the team. The calculus on how this blends with BE athleticism/speed/strength + 3pt shooting is the key for the coaching staff to figure out.

Oh we on the Boneyard have offered a lot more guys than this.

Nice - can you add a column for primary position (ie, PG, CG, C)?

Tripp Doherty followed Newton on IG and twitter today. Looks to be first transfer he has followed on any platform.

Transfer portal works just like real job hunting works.

Connections like previously being in the same league with a guy or having played him before and therefore Hurley being 1) familiar with the kid already and 2) being a close colleague of his just fired college coach, the one that recruited Newton originally, can really facilitate this kind of thing. Look at Carlton to Houston/Sampson last year.

Having a mid-major up-transfer PG get to 1st team all conference this past season and having had a lottery pick guard the year before also helps.

Clearing the deck of PGs with transfers out could look like trouble to some, but could also be seen by some players as literally making a runway for them. Especially when it's not a transfer epidemic, but localized at specifically their position.

Luke Murray also follows Shannon, though I think that's an old one and not since he's announced he's transferring

I saw that too. I think it is new actually.

The favorite boy band is key stat. Based on this Shannon should be a priority.

And this is how 'GoFundMe' became popular.

If you can do half as good a job that @huskymedic, @Exit 4, and the masochists do on the Football board on this, this thread will be awesome. Thanks for doing it.

 

[ElmCity40th]

Newton is my guy and I ain’t never seen him dribble or shoot lol, but I’m a Jodeci dude

 

[olehead]

Give me Shannon and hope we can scoop Xavier decommit Tyrell Ward. We need to bring some dudes into this program to offset Hurley's strstegic gaps. Tired of watching us nut up when the going gets tough.

Ward is a nova type player too.

Great fit

I’m still hoping Claude Desmond decommits too.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Thanks for this. It’s too much to keep straight otherwise.

who wants to be the starting PG on this UConn team? Seems like a question that should draw interest from ballers in the portal. if not...

Wondering how we get the good offense when we stress defense.

I was thinking more of the "we're bluebloods" conversation, actually. If Dook or NC or UK needed a starting PG, I'm pretty sure they'd have their pick of the "late signing period". Yet there are people here who would argue UConn as bluebloods, who have also decided that Sool and Gaffney leaving are signs of the downfall of the program. The drama is incredible.

Because guys who can't defend don't have pro careers, or even much success in college.

Please hold, I have a Ricky Moore and Emeka Okafor on line 2

UConn was 58th in team scoring defense this year. Villanova was 19th. Houston was 3rd. Sasser was averaging 17..7 ppg before getting injured. Edwards averaged >15. We know all about Gillespie.

Guys that can’t shoot have even less chance.

 

[awfuldan]

Starting to really want Newton. Gonzaga involvement is scary though, with their reputation for successfully taking transfers. Hard to be too disappointed if he ends up there I guess.

Sorry, wrong coach.

 

[bendm]

i like that Davis is from the Bronx. bad 3 pt shooter but he can score and obviously creates for others with those 5.5 apg.

Murray unfollowed Shannon already lol
