Hopefully this means Martin is coming

Our depth will take a major hit if we take two guys who have to sit out a year because the ncaa decides not to change the rule. I still think the best scenario is Nolley and a reclassification.

I think to many it’s a forgone conclusion that the rule will be changed

It would suck but odds of the transfer rule not passing seem to be very very low. I think we have to take Martin regardless, Vaughn was a sure thing to 90% of the board and Nolley is going to be much much tougher to get
 
I’d like to think it means we probably feel good about ourselves on someone else. Hurley has been saying all along he wants a big guard and a 4/5. Getting both Nolley and Vaughn would have brought us in two similar position wise players. I trust Hurley.

100%. We don’t whiff on Vaughn if he was a priority.
 
Kid probably didn’t want to be stuck behind Nolley for his senior season. Understand. Hurley said he wants a big guard and a big. Shouldn’t be expecting 2 big guards honestly. Probably most likely scenario is Nolley and Etienne/Sanogo. Vaugh, Murphy we’re back ups but Hurley’s liking how he feels with Nolley. Those are my thoughts
 
I liked Vaughn as a role player, but my guess is Hurley was realistic with him about his role and Vaughn saw a better chance at a lot of playing time at Ole Miss. Can't blame him; he's got one year to give himself a shot at the next level.

I also think we feel good about Nolley and Martin. I have a little bit of a concern about Martin's fit, but will trust Hurley here. If Martin buys in, he definitely has more upside than Vaughn. The wild card is the Sanogo reclass; he's actually my #1 choice out of anyone to get one of these last scholarships, but also probably the most unrealistic.
 
Everyone seems to be overlooking the likelihood Vaughn just couldn't say no to the chance to suit up for Kermit Davis. :rolleyes:

Wow. I think this came as a surprise to staff.

Feel like everyone's sleeping on Sanago. Him and Nolley would be elite.

I want him. I think everyone wants him but I’ve never read anything that made it seem like reclassifying may really happen..but maybe I missed something
 
I think Sanogo is most people’s #1 priority, just seems like a long shot cof pared to others With no sure thing at reclassifying and not the favorite but part of a group.

jeff Adrien type scorer in low block we’d all sign up for that! need a beefy skilled dude down low.
 
As far as every source is concerned this guy was #1 in the staff's wish list as far as xfers were concerned
Whether it be playing time or not something caused them to swing and miss
No way UConn should be playing 2nd fiddle to Old Miss (unless you are a party animal and have a liking for gorgeous blonds with a drawl!)
Back to the drawing board - Vaughn would have looked good in Storrs
The staff will get 2 good players with those openings

Nolley
 
Does anybody who is in the know believe the staff was expecting to land Vaughn? I know the consensus on here was that we’d get him, but I honestly can’t remember if there was any basis to that.

the most definitive thing i read here was something along the lines of "if the staff wants vaughn they will get him." so i'm choosing to believe they didn't really want him after all AND that the staff knew exactly what the deal is regarding the rule change

someone also said "I'm a nobody who knows somebody who's connected to DV and he's coming here"

So true. This is like 99% of social media, however.
 
Didn't realize DV was originally from Mississippi. Might be what attracted him to a school with little history of success. Only a little over two hours away from his old high school.

Following quote is from an interview with a local TV station in MS:

"Former Callaway (high school) standout Dimencio Vaughn is coming back to Mississippi.
The Rider graduate transfer announced his commitment to Ole Miss Sunday, picking the Rebels over UConn and Georgia. The 6-5, 220-pound guard averaged 14.8 PPG, and 6.6 RPG last season for Rider. He will be eligible to play immediately next season."
