CTInsider article: Newtons decision coming soon

[HuskyHawk]

My wife isn't a lawyer. I'm not sure you're any more likely to be deemed to be doing everything wrong.

I've got news for you, you don't need to be married to a lawyer to have your wife always tell you "you're doing it wrong".

I once argued that mine can either tell me what to do or how to do something, but not both. Essentially, if you want it done your way, do it yourself. That didn't go over well.

 

[uconn_jack]

Yes. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Castle, Newton, Jackson, Karaban and Clingan is a better shooting starting 5 than Cole, Martin, Jackson, Whaley and Sanogo.

I'm more excited about the assists from this lineup.

 

[CL82]

Is Castle going to get a chance to start? Of course he is. But anyone who thinks that Danny Hurley isn't going to start the guys who give him the best chance to repeat, as opposed to doing what Calipari does and picking lineups not to win but to help him recruit in the future, doesn't know Danny Hurley.

On the other hand, thinking that castle, based upon his résumé, and athleticism, might well end up being a starter isn’t an unreasonable position. If it happens, it won’t be because Dan Hurley has suddenly abandoned a philosophy of putting his best five on the floor to start the game.

Fully agree. I fully expect him to start and have said that in many other threads.

 

[CL82]

That's really hard to justify.

Replace our best shooter, Hawkins, with Castle and then replace a much improved shooter in Sanogo with Clingan, who hasn't shown he can shoot yet in game play?

No one has seen Castle play at the college level so the assumption is he will be flawless. That’s the norm around here after the season ends and we start looking forward.

 

[CL82]

Can confirm. I can't even make a scambled egg in my house without my wife citing some district court case from Wyoming in 1974 to tell me I'm doing it wrong.

Well, Eggland’s Best vs. Tupperware is taught to every first year law student…

LMFAO. I have told my wife that before, when it came organizing the laundry. It did not go well, for sure.

I'll try this tonight. 80% shot you never hear from me on the 'yard again.

I doubted that. If You’ve survived this long, you are almost non-killable at this point.

 

[HailUConn]

There are lots of things changed since Hurley had the recruiting pitch with Castle. I don’t think he anticipated we won Natty this year or Newton contemplating his return.

Dan will have a talk with Newton and most likely touch upon the dynamics in PG position. But this is a good problem to have in my eyes.

Castle was not an all American when he committed, the talks with him would’ve been similar to other top 50ish recruits we’ve had, which is probably something like 2 and done realistically. I know he’s seen his star rise since his commitment, but he’s not bigger than what’s best for the team.

I like the old philosophical question:

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, is the husband still wrong?".

He was a top 30 recruit when he committed at a premium NBA position (big playmaker). I'm sure 1 and done was always on the radar.

 

[KingAG]

Stephon Castle will start game 1 WITH Tristen Newton. The 3 spot is the one up for grabs The End.

Castle, Newton, Jackson

OR

Castle, Newton, Alleyne/Timberlake

Agree on this 100%.

At least she didn’t take you back to rulings in the Salem witch trials like Alito or Deep would hang you for that bad scramble!!

Good God it would be fun to watch castle Newton and Jackson as 3 6’5”+ playmakers if it happens. Especially with a lob threat like DC

This was my sense as well.

And all three can push hard to the rim as well.

We could potentially have the sickest back court of all time!

Thinking about this making me salivate

Me.

Me.

Edit guy is taking his sweet time.

 

[August_West]

I expect him to start. But if Newton comes back, and Timberlake comes, he will have to earn it. That's all my point was. No one is just handing him a starting role if starting him doesn't make the team better.

Yeah? It’s 2023 . Try not handing a top 10 5 star a starting job. . Let’s see how that works out.

 

[djct1999]

This thread made my head hurt. Castle is starting no matter what.

We'll see, I guess.

 

[Mr. French]

Imagine Newton or Castle not starting
