2023 Recruiting: Darius Carr requests National Letter of Intent release from New Mexico State

[HooperScooper]

UConn was recruiting him before. Is he something they need? Sounds like Solomon Ball filled that role. Will they even have room for another recruit in the 2023 class?

I remember during the recruitment it feeling like we backed off after initially offering

Top 150? Hard pass

He can’t shoot and as of right now the only shooter we have for next year is Karaban

If anything I’m worried about freeing up the scholarships for shooter transfers

I thought Stewart and Ross were shooters...No?

Ross definitely is, but there is some question on how ready he will be physically. He's still growing into his body.

Stewart and Castle aren't non-shooters but they can both be streaky. Stewart's shot is a bit slow, but he has good form and a relatively high release (from what I recall). Castle is shooting from the PG position and the obvious best player on his team so he might fair better with better players around him, better screens, etc.

Ball is not a shooter, but he can shoot decently.

Isn't UConn over the scholarship limit, provided no under classmen leave, as it is? I get the feeling from the CTInsider article that NBA scouts believe it would behoove each of the featured players, (Hawkins, Jackson, and Sanogo) to get one more year. Only Hawkins is a 1st rounder, but is not yet a clear lottery pick. Jackson and Sanogo are probably not getting paid in $USD their 1st year or so out of college.

Even if he was interested in UConn still I think we're at the upper limits of a reasonable amount of freshman for one class at 5. The open spots we'll have in the spring need to go to shooters in the portal to start around Clingan next year

Every scout thinks Hawkins should leave. He has guaranteed money coming his way on draft night.

Hawkins is going to move on to the NBA and Sanogo is going to move on to somewhere else I would imagine.

Probably so. I'm just saying that while it would raise my eyebrow if Hawkins stays, I would not require a fainting couch.

If Hawkins and Sanogo leave which I also expect we will be right at the scholarship number. You expect there to be more openings?

I think there's gonna be turnover with the transfer portal every year, so probably a few spots. Won't speculate on who as I'd just be blindly guessing

You can always anticipate a couple openings these days.
