2025 Transfer Portal - UConn Interest Only

Realistically there's 3 guys there out of the rotation, we're not playing 12 guys. The transfer C and Ross are the easy cuts, after that I'm not sure

Assumed he’s most likely odd man out Don’t think Ross is coming back to not play

Does Brown walk on water? No. Could there be better portal prospects at reserve PG still available or about to announce portal entry? Of course. At what price? Don't know for us as we await two returnee decisions and look at filling our roster. How many open spots will be filled? Don't know. Doubt if Dan carries 15 players but who knows.

What I do think is accurate. Spreading our NIL resources across our roster needs and satisfying returning players is challenging and critical to what our roster looks like next year. It is hard for me to see Robert Wright jumping at the chance to sit on the bench behind Silas and be happy. Would love to be wrong on that.

Robert Wright is starting anywhere he goes. That kid can ball.

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.

So... that's the one thing that DID NOT happen

Intersting. He shot 35% from 3 and 50% over all. Strong player for sure. Not sure where he fits in as he looks more like a 2 guard than a 1 guard. He is only 6'3" though 225 lbs. Only has averaged around 2 assists and 2 turnovers per game which isn’t great. Didn’t play for Minnesota this past year with a foot injury. I don’t really see the fit.

He definitely has a man's body. Is he quick enough to guard people at this level?

No clue, he hasn't played in a year with a foot injury last Fall. He would be in year 7 in college.

Just a hunch, but it feels like we reached out and would maybe back off him now that Ross is returning. Same role (different body types, but same role). He’s definitely not a point guard - assist to TO ratio is below 1.0.

The same skill set and experience as a 1 or a 4 coming off the bench would be a better fit if a guy like that is out there.

Hassan Diarra didn’t have a great assist to TO ratio at A&M (even though they had different roles).

Would love this guy as an extra ballhandler off the bench at the 1.

Dude has been a starter at three different schools in the same conference. That's impressive.
 
Regardless of Alex staying or leaving, still need a solid big who can play tje 4/5 for 15-20 mpg.

Can't go in to the season with Alex or Stew being the second biggest guy on the roster.

Now we're cookin'. Probably one of the better "6th-man" PGs left in the portal (if he'll come and play that role for us here).

Dig it.

Small guard at 6'0, but he is versatile enough to be a pure PG (14th highest assist rate in the nation, 2.5 A:TO), but shoots well enough from deep (39%) to play off ball and is also capable at getting to the rim (347th highest FTRate nationally). He can be the backup PG and also play alongside Demary. If Demary even gets hurt, Smith would easily slot in as the starting PG.

23-24 MAC defensive player of the year. Guy is built like a tank.

you are not joking. I looked him up on ESPN expecting to see that he was a power forward as his height wasn't listed on the Twitter announcement and then saw he is 6,3 guard.
