Mark Williams
Cliff Omoruyi
John Hugley
Jonathan Aku

That's a quick look. Probably others

Aku already reclassified and cut us from his list

FWIW (probably not much) we are the crystal ball pick on 247...

Springs also retweeted a Bleacher Report video of CV dunking

It’s not Springs. He just transferred to Brewster. It’s most likely a center but have no idea who it could be.

Double meaning?

With zero inside information, this makes the most sense. It'd be a solid late addition.

His one and only Crystal Ball pick is to UConn and that happened on 7/11

Is this based on inside info?

Agree with you on this. Between Akok, Polley, and kind of Sid we're pretty set at the PF spot. Springs would be a luxury.

We desperately could use a serviceable center though. Unless Hurley thinks Springs could play the 5 a little bit. I don't know his game well enough to know.

Just no 3* reaches. We're on too many good players in 2020 to have a roster spot used up.

 

[UconnU]

No. He just announced he was transferring to Brewster last month and were already loaded at that stretch 4 type spot he would play. Just doesn’t make any sense.

I think Polley's gonna play a lot of the 3 and Akok may have to play some minutes at the 5 so there would be room.

Fair enough!

 

[Chin Diesel]

If anyone from UConn let that information out regarding still looking for long-term big without having this a done deal, that's asinine.

 

[Guapo]

Well, if nothing else comes of this thread, it certainly seems like we’ve determined that Springs is a hard UConn lean for 2020

 

[bendm]

no work will be done at work today.

 

[Com'rGordon]

I'd be so over the moon if Springs reclassed

 

[uconngb]

All of this is far too specific for Chief to be involved. Chief deals in paradigm shifts and other platitudes. When it comes to some specific info about a particular situation, he’s quiet until he can retroactively predict the news that has already been announced.

Why?

 

[CL82]

I'd be so over the moon if Springs reclassed

Really? Why? He's a solid player with decent size but it's not like his addition changes the 2019-2020 season all that much. I'd like to have him and he'd be a good 4 year player, but over the moon? What am I missing?

The Boneyard is your job.

I just love the idea of bringing in top 150 kids with northeast connections. I mean he'd basically be a rotation piece this year but yeah I think he'd be a good four year guy and keep growing our connections.

Akok will have to play some 5.

I just don't see how Polley plays many, if any, minutes at the 3:

We are guard-heavy and will need to play 3 guards a lot to get our scorers minutes.

Our 2-4 basically play the same position on offense, except for occasionally in our horns sets when the 4 will screen. BUT Polley was unable to guard the 3. Your average 3 in the AAC is basically a big guard. 6'9 Polley can't guard other 6'9 power forwards off the bounce--he will get lit up vs any kind of 3. It just won't happen.

Springs seems like the logical option. Cliff seems highly unlikely
