I choose the ignore button prudently. In his case it’s justified

Looking at 1 stat is never a good idea. Or at minimum you have to contextualize it. Cam didn't get THAT much better in a year, he just ended up in a better system. That's why the art of the scout is so key in the portal.

Yes rumor was everything he was running at Michigan was just too high level for everyone’s basketball IQ and that’s why it looked so bad, Howard was just too smart for the program…..
I wonder how many centers in the transfer portal wanted to go to UConn…and UConn chose Reed… I got to believe Wolf would have wanted to play for UConn ..most Israel’s have got to be UConn fans..with all the Israel players UConn has had over the years

I'm thinking having Yarin Hasson play 10 total minutes and score exactly 0 points isn't the calling card you'd think to potential recruits. Who was our last Israeli player before him?

I think the order was. Henefeld. If only he could have stayed and played another season. Katz - not a big contributor. Sheffer - a great addition. Uri Cohen Mintz - he didn’t play any meaningful minutes.
That’s off the top of my head so that may not be everyone.

Those guys played for UConn 10 and 15 years before these kids were even born.

Wolf is from Glencoe, Illinois. Just because someone is Jewish doesn't make them Israeli. Lol

Smart people/coaches know how to adjust to their personnel and make any necessary modifications or adaptations.
I didn’t know that.. I thought he was from Israel
And that's exactly what this staff does...When teams were daring AJ to shoot, they moved him to the dunker spot and ignited the run to 5...then this year they adjusted to personnel again. I fully expect next years offense will morph to fit the personnel again

Wolf is technically a dual citizen I believe (which may be more to do with allowing him to play for their national team).

Yeah I've seen that before. O.K. so I guess he is technically an Israeli. But he was born and grew up in Glencoe, IL. Not sure his parents are even from Israel.
While from Glencoe, Wolf’s Jewish background and heritage allow him to compete for Team Israel as a naturalized citizen.[16] In his first national-level competition, Wolf represented Israel at the 2023 FIBA U20 European Championship in Greece.[17][18][19][20] He averaged 17.7 points, a tournament-high 12.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game, leading Team Israel to a second place silver medal, and was recognized for his stellar play by being named to the all-tournament team.[21][22][23]
