The point is I’d be shocked if we don’t go over a superior, legit 3/4.

twist away with what you meant to say v what you did say...lol I'm just quoting what you said, You were talking about Uconn guys playing for Uconn...so not sure why you inferred that I was talking about other schools. Uconn is a college..
Didn't mean for you to get you panties in a bunch..I was just highlighting that some mocks had him in first round..thinking maybe you didn't see that info. All good

The only thing that sells me on Pierce is the schools that are fighting for him, there must be a reason that I can’t see from a fans perspective. Not sold from watching the highlights and trying to project his role here.
Demary is definitely in an interesting spot. If he comes back he might be our highest paid player ever in the NIL era, and nobody has him as a first round pick (yet). Would he rather make 2.5+ mil as a senior, or take a shot as a second round pick? I personally would take the money and the stardom of being UConn’s best player next year, and probably still be drafted the year after regardless.
Solo is only going pro if he’s giving up on NBA aspirations, which he has no reason to do. I’d confidently project him to be back, 95%. Him and Demary should be the backbone of a top 3 pre season team heading into next year, and the best backcourt in America.

I didn’t realize Timberlake played for UConn

Not sold on Pierce at all as a starting 4. The guy would want at the 4 replacing Alex would be Donnie Freeman from Syracuse

Reibe's a guy who's shown unexpected, radical improvement when he's pressed into challenging situations. If he is called upon to start he'd probably do really well after a few games. can't really evaluate him on the sporatic playing time situations, the big games and how fast he improves more meaningful signals
Seems like transferring from Yale to Michigan worked for Danny Wolf.

Here’s another weakness: being a junior in a historically loaded freshman draft
Usage is a thing

We should have gone after him

Yeah chucking up more shots leads to higher scoring. Solo is not efficient or effective this year. We dropped to 40 or whatever in offensive efficiency largely because Solo is shooting 3, 4, or 5, for 15 in too many games. Karaban also had some terrible shooting games that didn’t help our metrics. Don’t defend Solo, he has Not been good this year. I hope he turns it around but let’s be honest.
