Chol Machot?

Not sure how involved we are, but GTown board thinks he’s theirs for the taking. Potential starter vs reserve.

Well, starter minutes v 3rd man up sounds like everyone has a better shot than UConn now

I thought Machot was better than Reeves, with higher upside and would do better in our system. Field of 68 has Machot ranked 10 spots higher than him and Giltay isn't on the list.

Darius Adams boomerang back? The backup PG role is up for grabs

Am I crazy to think what this guy could bring as sort of a more inside the arc 4 man, with the dynamism on offense and the defensive metrics that he brings.

Yes. He’s visiting teams to be the starting five. He’s not coming here to be a backup and make no $$.

It's just a prediction, but there might be something there.

I still want him. He brings a different dimension to the 4 & 5 from what Giltay and Hines bring. But with the addition of OG, not sure if we have or want to spend the NIL to get him, plus he might not like the PT opportunity with who we have that can give us minutes at those positions.

With UConn's reps for developing Bigs, you'd think we'd still be in play, but the money UConn has to offer and other programs might be offering just might have put him out of reach if there still interest. And adding him might not go all too well with the players we now have for the 4 & 5.

I think there's enough minutes to share based on how often our bigs pick up fouls, though I'm sure that he, OG, Hines, Khamenia, Ross, and Landrew, all who have the capability to share some minutes at either or both positions want as many minutes as possible.

None of the three bigs you mentioned could ever play the 4 in our system… and therein lies one of the biggest mental hurdles the boneyard has ever had to overcome
 
I still want him too. I want him as the backup 4 that could be a backup 5 if needed. He probably doesn’t quite fit that role on our team so I get it. I just hate it for him to go down the Abraham road at G’town. Start, play a lot of minutes, not develop and then have to leave. Seems like a waste

In the age of NBA Positionless-basketball, knowing your 1-5 is tougher

I think they could play any combo of 2 of OG, Hines and Chol at the same time depending the matchup, especially Chol who can attack off the dribble. Did you see Chol's handle?
 
I don’t know if we ever advanced beyond initial. Seems Giltay was the choice from the start.

Not a surprise. Georgetown was and is still desperate and I am sure Chol's agents would know that. Georgetown would offer a lot more money than UConn could. I don't know how much UConn has in their budget, but they are definitely closer to their limit than Georgetown is to their limit at the moment.

Oh well. Let's see how much they develop him. He's got a lot of interesting skills for a player his size. I wish we were able to add him in addition to OG, but there's only so much money and PT to go around.

Chol chose Georgetonw because they can and are willing to offer more money than others at the moment.

Let's be glad the Big East got better. He wasn't coming here.

That’s right! Just not a UConn kid! Not willing to sacrifice immediate earnings and get little time. This was probably BrEeDiNgs plan all along!
 
If Georgetown is planning on starting him, Cooley is going to be unemployed by March.
