I wonder how long Betsey and Nowell will wait. It looks like Castle is more than likely one and done. If he and UConn look good early, I think these guys will see opportunity and exposure. Coupled with a staff that will make you better and be honest with you about the draft. I really think if Hurley put his needs first, he could have convinced Andre to stay. It will be interesting to see how Castle develops defensively and also how he looks as a shooter. But if we show we can succeed with one or two five star one and done players just kicks us up another notch for recruiting.

Norwell already said he’s committing after Peach Jam. Which is 7/3-7/9.

Imhotep's Ahmad Nowell knows what it's like building from the ground up

By Joseph Santoliquito (@JSantoliquito) __ The floor was always a welcome sanctuary. Between grunts, it allowed Ahmad Nowell to dream about what he could be, what he could develop into, and created an avenue to where he was going. He would slap his palms down, his nose an inch off the floor, and

He sounds like a bigger Kemba. Driven and talented but not because it was easy or handed to him, just like Kemba.
Let us hope for his sake (and ours) he isn't swayed by the hype around Kentucky.

What hype does Kentucky have right now? Their entire fanbase has turned against Squid

I believe Ahmad is on Team Final so should be able to watch on NBA TV

You are correct, Nowell plays on a loaded Team Final squad that features four top-75 prospects in the '24 class:

Jalil Bethea - 18th
Robert Wright - 33rd - Baylor
Ahmad Nowell - 35th
Thomas Sorber - 63rd - Georgetown

Not sure if I can watch live, but I'll definitely record. Thanks for the heads up, @Storrs South!

Kentucky has the good NBA guard narrative right now. The list is really quite impressive these days (Booker, Maxey, Fox, Murray, Shai are 5 of the 10 or so most valuable guards in the league).

Finally caught up with yesterday's game. Loved what Oglesby had to say about Nowell:

Ahmad Nowell is a pit bull at the point guard spot. A guy that the teammates rally around.

Some of my observations:
  • Right off the bat, a defensive rebound followed by the laser half-court pass to a cutting James Moore. A Jacksonian pass.
  • Interesting to see him play in a two-PG starting lineup with 6'0 Baylor commit Rob Wright. A particular play I liked is when Nowell feigned penetration and then kicked out from ~18 feet at the top of the key to Wright for a made three. Hid his intentions really well.
  • Another play later in the 1st, the offensive board kicked out to Nowell at the top of the key, where Nowell penetrated with pace and fired a bullet to
  • In three games, Nowell has a 21:6 assist to turnover ration. Love it.
  • I love his focus and determination on defense. Capable of fighting through screens, very strong frame for an undersized guard. Good instincts and I expect Hurley will love coaching up his defense.
  • Even though he was 1-4 from 3, pull up jumper not bad form.
Overall, it was my first time watching a full game of Nowell and it's clear: sign me up.

On offense, his smarts/vision/poise/decision matking/athleticism is a great foundation to build on improving his jump shot while I'm a fan of his defensive instincts. Great motor...just an easy kid to root for.
