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.
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
Relax. We should know better after the whole Timberlake/Spencer off-season of two years ago.
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.
You mean a tough as nails dawg, something we severely lack? Silas may offer some of that.
Kind of indicative of his year where he got stuck in his own head for the better part of the BE season.
Well I’d always defer to you and your deep understanding of what it’s like to decide between entering the NBA draft vs your senior year of high major d1 basketball
How many times can you find a winning lottery ticket? That was extremely fortuitous on both fronts…missing on Timber and Cam being avail.
Agree with Watts from Washington State- he also has really nice footwork around the basket. His one-handed wrist dunk is very cool looking too!
I get it, but it’s been 3 weeks. How long can you sit atop of the Acropolis and ponder the meaning of life until you start losing your own emotional momentum in wanting to come back? Meanwhile you leave that program in limbo. I get last year, testing the process. A majority of the thought process was likely squared away prior to the portal period.
You talking about this guy? He's on his own time.
AK went through the entire process a year ago of exploring the draft. It should be an easier decision this year compared to a year ago one would think from having gone through that experience.
RuffRuff is on one.
The only challenge is that obviously those players have the uncertainty of whether AK will be here or not hanging over the decision. Other landing spots might have less uncertainty for minutes. So it’s kind of a bit of a competitive disadvantage.
I get that, but we're also UConn. Guys are going to wait because it's a premier destination
What does that mean? That we are bringing him on campus for a visit?
UK is premier and what did that do for Lewis?
Alex and his family don't seem to be the kind that are trying to squeeze more NIL money out of UConn. I'm sure he made a decent amount last season and whatever UConn is offering for a 4th season is probably fair and acceptable. Whatever is going on with Alex's decision is fine with Hurley. I don't know why people on here get all upset he hasn't announced a decision. The staff know what is going on and I'm sure they're fine with it and are planning appropriately.
I read this post and who can doubt that it's 100% to troll you. What else could possibly explain it? Lean into it. You'll grow from the experience.
