2025 Transfer Portal - UConn Interest Only

Good size, can drive, shoot and post up. He can actually play the PF in our system and be pretty effective on offense. I didn’t see anything on defense though. Can he block shots and keep his man in front of him? He looks like a 3-4 but with a nice offensive game from either spot.

This guy likes his defense and likens Watts to Dillon Brooks. Watts is on a visit to Texas Tech right now.

I guess this all depends on Karaban's decision whether we persue.
 
Let's see if we can get him to Storrs for a visit. Alex holds the cards.

Watts is quite a unique player and would love to have him here, but not keeping my hopes up.

Watts was split between the 4 and the 3 at Washington State, but also was the team's main backup PG, playing 25% of their PG minutes.

What’s not to like. I love the versatility. This is the kind of player you build rosters around, strong Swiss Army knives. Love AK, but he’s the antithesis of versatile. He’s easy to plan for.

Or maybe Alex waits another week and we miss the Watts train along with every other 3/4 that’s been available

It’s getting borderline absurd at this point, in particular after that cryptic IG post he put up a week ago. It’s three weeks post our last game, you’d think some of these things would have been thought out prior to end of season. I’m honestly not sure what is taking so long.

I'm sure part of it has to do with the CBB phenomenon that shares its name with the soccer/football term for zero.

That being said, I am sure the staff have reached out to 3/4 players they are interested in and have explained the situation. That doesn't mean that we haven't/aren't going to lose really good potential portal additions in the meantime, but I doubt the staff is just doing nothing as far as expressing interest to 3/4 players. It's likely been done on the DL.

Maybe because it's a really difficult decision. And the coaching staff is talking to him every day, so even if we're in the dark they're not. If he's saying he's leaning towards leaving they can and I'm sure have been reaching out to guys in the portal. They're not going to be blindsided by his decision

No need to worry - if Alex departs there'll be a handful of guys that reach out to us to fill that opening. One will be selected, his name will be in the portal (maybe as do not contact), and presto/a few days later we'll have our 4-man. That's the new reality.

It’s not Aaron Rodgers level hemming and hawing but it’s starting to approach that. I get it’s a big decision, but hopefully it’s made very soon.

He doesn't seem like he'd move cross-country, but what do I know - being that he's a big body that plays with versatility throughout the forward spots, he's almost perfect for our needs next year.

Dude looks like a Tech type player.

You mean a tough as nails dawg, something we severely lack? Silas may offer some of that.

Also don’t think the presto thing is ideal - no two players are alike and the more we wait the more options pass. I like options, nor restrictions. Let’s go already.

Kind of indicative of his year where he got stuck in his own head for the better part of the BE season.
 
If at the time AK committed here we were told he would be a starter, averaging close to 30 minutes a game, on two national championship teams we would have been thrilled.

If he feels he needs an additional week, two weeks, whatever to decide, he's earned that privilege.
