Welcome Cam!

Staff is killing it. Exactly what we needed. Roster construction but also program construction is very impressive.

Having a plan is one thing, nailing the execution is much tougher. Hurley is crafting a heckuva program.

I’d also like to remind people he put up 20 ppg at Loyola before transferring to Rutgers. He can do more than just hit open shots. 3 assists per game for his career, experience throwing lobs last year.

This also might be proof of the blue blood effect. We lost Timberlake to Kansas because that’ll happen to other blue bloods. But it’s clear when we show interest in a kid, they reciprocate it.
 
Thx @navery12 for staying on top of this.. Spectacular news.. Staff closed the deal and Cam did the right thing.. The missing piece. A sniper. UConn's culture over Miami's NIL.. Let's get to work and run it back.. In the mix for six.

Edit: Guess its time to work on 2024 targets for the next few weeks.

I told you all in reaction to losing Timberlake and what we lost from this past year, just be patient just wait and trust in Hurley. He was sold after 1 practice. Our shooting and passing on this team is going to be ungodly.

Starting Lineup and shooting set. PG Castle, SG/SF Newton, SG/SF Spencer, PF Karaban and C Clinigan. With a great young bench we are loaded for another Championship run. I wouldn't mind a Joey C. pickup as our last transfer. Never can have enough shooting as we saw last year.

We offered Simeon Wilcher who committed to UNC. He is back in the portal. Not quite a Joey C. Has some AJ in him as well.

I'm more happy that Hurley added more experience with all our freshman/sophomores players. To me this is huge after losing AJ and Sanogo.

The Tristan/Spencer duo will be like grandfather's schoolin the lil kids day in and day out. I'm talking opponents. I love our chances for repeat for this fact alone.

We have a legit 2 deep rotation (and the 10 will likely become 8 or 9 by conference play)

PG - Castle, Diarra (w/ Newton minutes too)
SG - Newton, Ball
SF - Spencer, Ross
PF - Karaban, Stewart
C - Clingan, Johnson

Can't be understated how big this is. Doesn't force any freshman into too big of a role, but still plenty of minutes available for them. And tons of flexibility from the bench guys, and they all complement different pieces of the lineups

Yes indeed. Starting to shape up like another steamroller/runaway locomotive. The team you dread to play. Run you into the ground the later in the game it goes. It's only June 7 and I can't wait for the season to see them in action.

BTW, When Clingan takes a rest this guy will be lurking around in the background too.

 
Well, I woke up to some amazing news!

It can't be understated how the addition of Spencer adds so much versatility to the backcourt. Newton, Spencer and Castle are three big guards who can score and pass and that provides Hurley and his staff so many wrinkles on how to build sets.

What got me excited for adding Newton was his ability to draw fouls and convert on the line made him an elite "closer".

Spencer is another guy you want at the end of games: 89.4 FT%, just 1.4 TOs per game, can hit the bit shot...

Spencer and Karaban are similar in that you can play them at the end of game and know that their head is going to decide the right play and their skills are trusted enough to convert the right play.

Last year, UConn was 8th in the nation with a 63.2% A/FGM ratio...I see similar excellent team basketball next year too.

Rosselle Catholic (Sanogo and Sanpson) man as well.

Our starting 5 will all be +passers. The ball is going to fly around the court just like it did this season, if not more so.

I'm pretty sure we ran this exact play this year. Should be nice for a few Clingan dunks.

There were some real nice catch and shoots off under the basket inbound plays. Also, Rutgers runs some good stuff on those out of bounds plays.
 
I can see 5 players averaging 10+ points a game this year. Along with 3 averaging close 4-5 assists. Going to be fun! Any guesses on what Cam’s numbers will be?
