2025 Transfer Portal - UConn Interest Only

[UCfor3]

I highly doubt this is a legit source. Look at his picture.

It's literally a parody account for Kevin Keatts that pretends to be a plugged in source on player movement.

I really think Solo is the backup-backup PG. He can play some minutes there and Braylon probably needs some minutes at SG as he does not have ideal size to play SF.

Positional flexibility all over is what I think they will try to do. Unless they see Stew as a full time SF, we need a SF that is bigger than Mullins. Furphy perhaps if he's ready.

yeah, no

If he had potential to be the backup point he would've taken on that role when needed this season

I’m getting Aiden Mahaney vibes with Adams as a backup PG. He is a toothpick and was being pushed all around in the McDonald’s All American game. He is also not super athletic. I hope we can get a better athletic option in the portal to play the backup PG for us. I rather see Adams have a year of strengthening and seeing limited minutes in his first year. He isn’t on the same level as out other recruits from what I have seen and read.

 

[Scrutineer]

Does Hurley have any chance with, or interest in UNC transfer Ian Jackson?

He's supposed to be a lock for Pitino.

 

[444JR]

Def need a back up PG & C
I met solo ball in North Carolina during the tourney he’s actually 6’2

Mahaney must’ve been 5’11 listed at 6’3

Interesting. Spent some time talking with Rob Wright's family at the hotel the morning after the Baylor game. We were mostly commiserating about how bad the roads might be given the snow fall we woke up to. They were wondering about roads headed back to Delaware. He had a big contingent of family - really nice to talk to.

I have a feeling we get a one-year rental as a backup center.

A 4/5 type w 2yrs left would be nice

 

[rcarj]

Ideally a backup guard in the 2023-24 Hass role and a 6’8+ lunch pail carrying, hard hat wearing, front court depth piece + Alex Karaban.

PG Silas Demary Jr. 6’5
SG Solomon Ball 6’4
SF Jaylin Stewart 6’7
PF Alex Karaban 6’8
C Tarris Reed Jr 6’10

6. Braylon Mullins 6’5
7. Transfer Guard/Ball handler
8. Eric Reibe 7’0
9. Transfer 6’8+ 4/5
10. Jayden Ross 6’7
11. Darius Adams 6’5
12. Jacob Furphy 6’6

Ross will be higher than that, Reibe will be lower than that

I'm not sure if this is right thread, but I decided to ask ChatGPT what the average and median height of the top 50 most successful 2025 point guards is.

And the answer is ... 6'2"

Hard to believe would could end up with 2 of the top PG portal targets, but hey, it does seem like Hurley knows we needed to go hard.

The account that posted the Wright thing is a parody account, so I doubt there is any accuracy there. I did see a Baylor fan on Reddit accuse Hurley of "recruiting" Wright all year and offer 2 million. But, you know, Reddit.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Wright will be one of the best pgs in the sport next year. He’ll get a huge bag and a starting role wherever he goes

Make it happen

Let's not do this

in feet and inches, duh.

Avery Brown-Columbia - Would be a nice fit as backup PG if he's willing to come off the bench. Good size and ball handler(assists).. Pretty sure there was some casual UConn interest coming out of Northfield/MT Hermon

This is a very sensible option provided he doesnt expect a huge role. Would be a great dept piece

Yes.

Thinkin' his NIL "ask" would be affordable-not crazy

His shooting splits are very yucky

 

[Umami Zen]

Don't need him to shoot. He'll be surrounded by shooters .I doubt Columbia has/had shooters like UConn. Play tough D and distribute the ball when he's on the floor. Give Silas a rest once in awhile.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Umm...he did at times. Brought the ball up, started the offense.

 

[PNolanFan]

if he was a great shooter than he would want to be a starter

Every perimeter player needs to be able to hit shots if you want to be an elite team.

After watching Cryer and other point guards lead teams. Having a great PG is very important. We would have 2 like our past championship teams including 2024 which we basically had 3.

The NCAA tourney is all about PG play. We dont win back to back w/out TN. Period.

Kind of reminds me of when we sold out house....it had a smallish kitchen for the size of the house (built in '50s)....people were like, we love the house but if the kitchen was only a little bit bigger....my response was, If kitchen was bigger, the house would be 200k more...

You can't have your backup PG in today's market be A+ at everything...or he would be your starting PG..either because of PT or NIL!!
