Holy Sh.t !! Hurley is a freaking genius.
Need a
Center - Reed ✅
Guard - Mahaney ✅
Forward - MeNeelley ✅
 
So we move away from Brea? Adding him would really clog up the wheel. Shocked Ross isn’t already in the portal, but would likely push Solo away too.

Not saying it’s right or wrong, just commenting.
I am thinking the same thing...how on earth is there playing time for Brea with this roster? And yeah, Ross and Abraham are going to find it very hard to get minutes barring something crazy.
 
Man it will be fascinating watching highlights of this program over the last 3 years and seeing a cameo from Mahaney in the beginning hopefully foreshadowing greatness here.
This is how I felt when watching the UConn game at East Carolina in Feb 2020 2 weeks before the COVID lockdown. It was surreal watching Tristen Newton play for East Carolina and light up UConn to the tune of 25 pts 6 assists and 5 rebounds. If my current self traveled back in time to that day of the game and told my Feb 29, 2020 self that a player from this game will have their name put up on the wall of Gampel Pavilion, the Feb 2020 would've guessed James Bouknight and then Christian Vital. My Feb 2020 self would've been shocked it would be Tristen Newton even though he had a hell of a game against UConn.

Massive addition to the reload

3 peat looking more and more possible. Karaban returns and we need to be preseason top 3
 
3peat incoming
Your comment is more in brand than knowing, primarily because it is unknowable. We are clearly on the shortlist of favorites, and solidifying, but injuries, hubris, distraction, disharmony, and crazy luck are are part of the mix every year.

You win the brevity battle...by many lengths. Kudos.
 
McNeeley and Mahaney lol never thought I’d see a UConn back court featuring those two names

And so I imagine this was what Hurley’s tweet about the portal was for
Makes me wonder how often in nationality televised games the announcers will mess up their names.

All I can say is landing both is McAwesome and for some strange reason I have a craving for corned beef and cabbage. :)

Is Mahaney a straight 2-guard or combo? If he's not strongly capable to play PG too, it is imperative Hass stays. I said it before and got laughed at, but I think he is as or more important to keep than Karaban (and again, that's no knock on Karaban at all, we just have some people to cover his position, but we would be shallow in the PG role if Hass doesn't return.)
The biggest thing with Hass is his on the ball defense and his microwave jolt of energy. His box scores didn't always reflect it, but sometimes it did, there were times in this past season UConn appeared to be slumbering and then when Hass entered and played more the game turned in UConn's favor.

I really hope UConn keeps Hass.
 
BANG


Great there goes the Combo guard most of us coveted and extra ball handler. Now I think we pick up some developmental piece to replace Roumoglou. Definitely out on Brea in my opinion.

Holy crap lmaoooo. This staff is on fire!!

Get Brea too and we are gonna be so unbelievably stacked. Karaban coming back and we are doooommmeed
I just don't see us getting Brea at this point. It will be a more developmental piece I think to replace Roumoglou.
 
Close one, definitely thought Virginia had a shot there
I am not knocking Aiden at all. I am absolutely thrilled he has chosen UConn and welcome him aboard. And I want to be sensitive to Tony Bennett and Virginia on some level, well, just because I like Tony and some of Virginia's past players.

My rhetorical question is, if you are a very good to great offensive player how would Virginia have any appeal to you? That's like being a talented race car driver like Jeff Gordon and considering a Yugo when you can choose a Corvette, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini (spelling), or a Dodge Viper.
 
Coach Hurley and his staff unquestionably have the winning formula. This signing speaks volume with regard to how much respect UConn is getting nationwide. Players throughout the country now know who can bring them to the promise land (NCAA Championship) and possibly to the NBA. Aidan Mahaney was one of the top guards in the portal and his presence on the floor will bring experience and leadership qualities. Aidan welcome to UConn!
