My three would be Lewis/Mullins/Reibe. But the awesomeness of this staff is that it looks like there's three groups of somewhat interchangeable guys and we're going to try take one from each.

To me:

Lewis/Thomas are your "lead guards"
Mullins/Adams are your shooters
Reibe/Bundalo are your stretch 4/5 big

If we get one from each group, plus an inevitable portal guy, we will have a fantastic class.

I’d caveat that Bundalo unlikely to be able to play the 5 defensively. Lean and not particularly tall for a 5 in the traditional sense. Perhaps if Hurley makes a move to more position-less basketball ala Pope as a further adaptation in his euro-centric offense.

i want lewis/mullins/reibe and for stew to come back so we can 4peat. altho maybe reed/bundalo could also work as the new thunder and lightning combo at center.

Nowell/Lewis
Mahaney/Mullins
Ball/Ross
Stew/Abraham
Reed/Reibe

I like how we are set up for 26 barring any unforeseen transfers or NBA leaps. Starting lineup could have 2 seniors, 2 juniors and a Soph with 3 established bench guys.

Imo for us to threepeat we need Stewart to emerge as a force, which would likely mean him going into the draft.

No one hates him, but don’t drop a bomb like “UConn to Big 12 Imminent” to get people’s hopes up and then be totally wrong…

He wasn’t wrong tho these things don’t happen overnight
Ppl hate him for no real reason

The hate Zanetto gets from certain posters on this board baffles me. Obviously, coming up with daily content is a grind, but for those of us who want a constant UConn fix, what’s the alternative? The bozos on Field of 68?

For me, his self-aggrandizement is too much. He talks about "my fans".......he does not have any fans. Beyond that, he constantly presumes to speak for "UConn fans", as if we are a homogenous bunch of people......its all too much. And then of course the yawns and the constant reading other people's work. Listen, God bless him, he is doing something I would love to do, even as a hobby. But because he purports to represent UConn, in any capacity, I recent the amateur feel of his podcast.

youre probably right but i'm hoping he's the 4th best player on a chip team and returns for his junior year like Alex just did. I know Alex was our 5th best player but we dont have to be as good as last year to win again.

I’m thinking he will be our third best player this year behind Liam and Alex and go in the first round, though not necessarily in the lottery. Top 20 or 25 in the draft.
 
Don’t know if this has been posted already but read that Mullins plans to make his decision before his senior season begins.

Also read UConn, UNC, and Indiana matters.

Michigan and Kentucky kinda matters.

especially when he hints to be in the know but also admits he has never even met Hurley

Oh I agree... I think depending on who we get that will potentially alter our portal strategy. If we get Bundalo, I'd think we'd look for a big to complement Tarris and Singare. If we get Reibe, we'd look for a more traditional 4 to supplement Stew (I'd be shocked if he goes pro) and Abraham.

If Stewart stays, which I doubt, I don’t see the 4 as a position of need should he stay and Abraham is here. That would be plenty of quality depth.
 
I don't hate on Zanetto as I feel he represents an aggregate opinion of what he hears from trusted sources. Even his Big 12 talk had that and a day later the story broke big. That said I take what he says with a grain of salt because talking about "how close we are" is kind of entertainment/useless until a player is actually signed. I'm sure IU felt good about Liam until they did not.

If Stew stays, then McNeeley would be gone. That would most likely slot Stew as your primary 3 imo with Ross and three guard sets. So the 4 would be Bundalo/Abraham mix with Stew if we went small. Just my opinion. It's a nice problem to have.

McNeeley will be gone in any scenario barring injury. I’m hoping Stewart goes to the league, because I think we will need that kind of season from him to threepeat. I would not be shocked if he scores 14-15 ppg this season.

To be honest, I actually find the "bozos on the field of 68" to be more watchable. Plus, none of them have ever cost us a P4 slot, so…
 
I appreciate Zanetto and the Filed of 68 guys. All bring attention to and info about UConn basketball. Zanetto may be a bit overly ambitious, which dillutes his product, but for an ameteur he does a respectable job. I think we should lighten-up on the criticism.
