Looking forward to some thoughtful, measured takes here.
We're not going to get another guard to come in unless we lose one of CV/AG. We have:Unless it’s an irresistible player like Precious I don’t think a 6’8 forward is what we should be looking for. We need another ball handler and another big for next season

Agreed. This is the third year in a row injuries have struck and we have a shortage of ball handlers. If B. Adams can be a reliable handler then we’re fine, but I don’t see it now. Even if it’s Jaylin Hunter coming in as a walk on for PG depth we need another handlerThe only primary ball handler returning is AG, who has obvious health issues. I agree with the poster we’re pretty darn strong 2-4, a ball handler and a center are our biggest needs.
If he was still playing in France, there would be no or at least fewer negative comments. It sounds like this is only his first or second year actually playing in the US besides his freshman year.Hurley & staff =\= KO & staff
Gotta give them the benefit of the doubt here.
And the good thing is that we aren't trying to build our class around guys like this. We're just adding to an already top 20 class.
TBH I'm really intrigued to see what this staff can do with these types of unknown/late bloomer recruits.

1. Gilbert
2. Vital
3. Bouknight
4. Gaffney
5. B. Adams
Even if you totally disregard Adams, who is coming in to compete to be the 4th or 5th guard? We got Adams to come in to be the 5th guard this year and everyone is killing him. That's the quality you get for that space though.
I agree we should be looking at a big, but we all know we don't have only one scholarship left, so why not look for another 6'8" flexible player?
I think with Gilbert’s uncertainty we need another guard.
Ummm, I’ll take a 6’8” kid drilling full speed, pull up 3’s like it ain’t no thing all day long. Have you seen our team?
So you guys are good for a front court rotation next year of Carlton, Polley and Akok? I would say our front court need is critical.Hurley & staff =\= KO & staff

Boys, can’t say I didn’t do my part.
Translation: “Mr. Kabala, UConn is for you! I was born in Paris myself, and UConn was by far and most the best 4 years of my life. The Uconn family wants you. And please excuse my spelling errors."
Also to note, my grading shtick comes from the popular french magazine "L'equipe" which scores soccer players based on their performances that game on a 10 scale. Along with a retweet, Mr. Kabala favorited a few of my other tweets so I'm sure he took notice of the grades making him feel right at home. So in conclusion of course, Le barrage est sur le point de rompre à nouveau. Translation: The Dam is about to break again.
