Abdou Toure update from aaron torres

If it’s landrew sure otherwise Id prefer to see how the season goes and if we lose Mullins and Ball then we go after a transfer:
Demary / Mingo / Transfer / Stew / Transfer
Transfer / Furphy / Ross / Cloer / Reibe

I would hope Reibe is ready to start his sophomore year

Doesn’t matter to me if he starts as a sophomore or junior. Samson and Reed didn’t start until they were seniors.

You'd have to think it's a shoe-in. You don't bring in a McD AA 5 not to start by sophomore year.

A transfer always made more sense to replace Reed, right now we don't know if we need a starter in front of Reibe or a backup behind him

The point was that there has been talk of accepting 3 incoming freshman to match the 3 exits. I think people are missing that one of the exits is Reed so that 3rd commitment was a center. No center, no 3rd freshman. Just two -- with Mingo and Cloer being Option A.

He was a 4* in the 247 rankings and in the composite, but bringing in another C via the transfer portal provides flexibility whether Reibe lives up to the projections or not.

Except if you look at who we're recruiting and watching it doesn't match that logic. We're not recruiting any big men at this point other than Keita, and even that's a quiet recruitment. Even ignoring Reed we'll likely have more than 3 exits with Karaban, Smith, Ball, Mullins

At the point of the "taking 3" idea was first noted (early in the summer), UConn still had center prospects they were interested in.

And the taking 3 was based on Smith, AK, and Reed leaving so there are 3 rotation spots open. If Dan Hurley knows he is filling one rotation spot with a transfer, he now only has two opening in the rotation.

That's just not how it works, at all. Besides the fact that there's going to be more than 3 rotation spots opening up
