Acaden Lewis decommits from KY

We’re hoping to bring in a transfer PG that will contribute more than Adams and Adams is higher ranked than Lewis. We have no use for Lewis. Period the end.

Adam’s not a pg. He may play the point. He MAY play the point. He is not a pg. Do you understand that we went through a year with one PG and it did not go well. You get that, right?

Well Acaden Lewis just became available and is a top ranked Freshmen PG. Who is to say if UConn doesn’t get Smith that they don’t pivot to Lewis. Do you know personally know what Hurley and his staff wants? I doubt it. I’m just saying it is an inteeresting option for a player that UConn was interest in at one time. Well if we get Smith on the weekend it is a mute point. I will agree on that.

You're missing the point repeatedly. Lewis does not want to be a backup, it's why he's left Kentucky
 
Also I think in terms of NIL freshman have less value than transfers. You can pay as much or more for top 40 freshman and you're not going to get the production from them.

We had two PGs - one was a four star freshman who couldn’t provide immediate help. Every player is different - maybe Lewis is more ready on day one. But if we can get an experienced guy in that role, we are less likely to be in the same situation

You don’t like the guy I’m sure? I don’t really care for him but thought it was interesting that he talked about it. I wish there were better weekly UConn podcasts out there but unfortunately it seems just to be Zanetto who does it too much.

Don't like him at all. I'm sure he's trying his best, but he's just not very good. It's a bit of the format but with a daily podcast he just has to make up rumors to have something to talk about

Yeah his worst one and why i just listen to it for entertainment value is we were definitely Big 12 bound. He fell flat on his face with that one and lost all of his credibility for me. Normally he is good though when he has knowledgable guests on his show.

He’s a CG that means he can play EITHER G spot. It also has little to do with what I’m saying. We need to bring in a reliable backup transfer PG not another frosh

Did you watch the games? You feel it important to reiterate the roster to me? I do not feel it important to debate this obvious point. We had ONE usable pg all year.

Is that best St Johns can show? Two silver balls propped up? Probably for regular season and conference tournament championship.

Pitino is slime I came to that conclusion when I found myself rooting for the Razorbacks and Calipari in the Dance:confused:
Expand ...
Yes and have been through this and we have a faction here that roots for them based on them strengthening the BE. Now we have his son at Xavier and may the best teams prevail but I have always disliked St. John’s and particularly their fans who were planning parade routes when they got bounced in the round of 32.
If you heard the media down there leading up to that you would have thought that Pitino had already built a dynasty there. Good job but hard to like him and them.

Their St John’s bb forum now claims UConn is their arch rival. Funny, nobody mentioned that to us. I would tell them your team needs to be relevant more than once every 40 years. Also, talking crap on they are the team to beat this year. I still consider Syracuse to be a bigger rival than the Johnies.

The next few years with Pitino there I think St. John’s is definitely more of a rival than Syracuse. Let’s enjoy this, St. John’s looks to be back and UConn never went anywhere. Should be fun. On paper both teams look very good.

More of a rival going forward since the Orange left the BE years ago, but we’ve had a greater history with them than St John’s

I'm thinking it may be a good idea for St John's fans and PC fans to get together and form their own rivalry. Each views their team as our rival while we barely notice their existence. They'll each get a rival (hell, they can call the trophy the Pitino table cloth) and we can rid ourselves of a couple on nuisances.

We have kind of rotated our biggest rivals. Kittles’ Nova, then Iverson’s Georgetown, then Cuse, then Ron Artest’s St. John’s, then probably Pitt for a good 8 years with some Cuse mixed in, then Louisville, then Cincy, then ourselves, then Nova, then Marquette, then, for a year, our only rival was the history books and how prominently we placed inside them.

Syracuse probably would have been the most consistent No. 2 rival in the years they weren’t No. 1. Providence would have been the team that most often thought of us as a rival when we weren’t paying them any mind.

St. John's seems to be involved with 75% of portal players. How many spots do they have???
Expand ...

A good amount of spots.

Senior/5th years:

Scott (27 MPG)
Richmond (32 MPG)
Smith (27 MPG)

Portal:
Luis (32 MPG)
Dunlap (16 MPG in 10 games)

Only Zuby and Wilcher return among those playing over 10 MPG. They only have Sanon and Hopkins in the portal so far and no freshmen. So assuming Sanon and Hopkins get 30 a piece they still have about 50-60 MPG to offer unless their less played players make a jump.

I think UConn cooled on his recruitment last year, not Lewis. Guessing the staff moved on. Some school with real need will need to fork over big NIL and he would be a luxury for us, not a need.
