Samuels and Torre would be an amazing wing duo to build the class around. We'll also prob need another forward and big man. Liam is gone after this year and Mullins sounds more and more like a one and done after next year. I doubt Ball and Stew will still be here as seniors.

Guards:
Nowell (jr) / Adams (so)

Wings:
Ross (sr) / Furphy (so) / Torre (fr) / Samuels (fr)

Forwards:
Abe (jr) / ??? (fr)

Bigs:
Singare (sr) / Reibe (so) / ??? (fr)

I love Joe Torre as much as the next guy, but isn't he a little old to be a freshman?

This is a follow-up report on Abdou Toure, 2G, Notre Dame, West Haven. Saw his game today and he led the team to victory over Albany NY., Green Tech. Abdou was more focused on scoring up close today as he only took 5 shots from 3 pt. land. (He made 2)

What impressed me the most today was his willing and crafty passing. This game was close throughout, but ND pulled it out late.

Got a chance to chat with his personable Dad afterwards and he mentioned Kimani would be calling again soon. UCONN is definitely keeping close tabs on Toure. Dad seemed favorable when he spoke about our Huskies. I believe we have as good a chance as anyone. Did I speak to Abdou? Of course! More later.

3rd GF, not 3rd-grade. I'm pretty sure my 3rd-grade crush is dead. By contrast, my 3rd-girlfriend is still alive and well...and 9 years later that is still a rather terrifying prospect. That girl threw everything I owned out of a 3rd-story window except my mattress.

Sounds like you probably deserved it.

It was shortly after that performance that Alabama, a Final Four team last season, offered Toure. UConn has shown interest in Toure, 17, who has attended several games and said last summer that he has “been talking to them.” But the two-time defending national champions have yet to offer.

Well it’s one of three things: 1) they’re not going to offer, 2) they might offer depending how other recruits shake out or 3) waiting to offer is some strategy they think will make him more likely to commit (idk maybe they want to make a big deal on an official or something)

It seems hard to believe they have a plan that would involve not offering but it’s also hard for me to see the real benefit behind #3

But what the hell do I know

“I don’t have a favorite no more”? Guessing at one time it was UConn huh.

That could mean anything. He’s a kid after all. Also you have more leverage saying there’s no favorite. Why limit yourself in the NIL era?
 
Moral of the story is lock up young Pam Anderson before she gets the role on "Home Improvement" and gets the attention of celebs and rock stars.

In this scenario, we're Adam Levine.

It could, but the rumor was he loved UConn and the way he said it he had a favorite.

Option 1 and 2 makes people insanely uncomfortable for some reason.

As far as option 3 we don’t know what kind of conversations they’re having or what the staff envisions for the roster. Hurley doesn’t offer every top 25 kid. They could feel they’re in a good spot without the official offer.

Tin foil hat on here:

From what I heard Toure has never viewed staying in state as his number one choice. Staff may know that he just wants the offer for the look and don’t feel they have a good shot of landing him. Kid may just have his eyes ultimately elsewhere. We’ll see.

He said UConn before these other schools started showing interest. Maybe things have changed in his mind recently, but he wasn't trolling UConn before.

I’m not discounting that. I have on good authority as of a few months ago he didn’t want to stay in state. That may have changed. I’m no insider. I do know a few people in the New Haven County hoops scene. I also heard Tremont Waters wasn’t enthralled with playing at the state U and was more interested in the bag months before he committed. These New Haven County kids don’t view the state U the way we think they do. It’s a strange thing. All in all I know jack **** for certain. I just wouldn’t be shocked if he wants the offer for the look. We’ll see.

Tremont waters was looking for the bag before it was legal. The bag shouldnt be the problem.
