Do we go after Cole Cloer or Focus on Transfers?

If Will Wade leaves NC State for LSU, do we go after Cole Cloer?

  • Yes, high-upside wing fits modern UConn roster building, Never pass up on shooters

  • No, Chloer is very good, but not elite-tier player needed to compete next year for championships

I almost got sucked in but then I remembered that I am already tired of reading wish lists and the offseason hasn't started yet.

Plus UConn men's basketball win tonight to give me two more days of it not yet being the offseason.

I was assuming Braylon stays. Not trying to spark that debate right now so everyone reading this: let’s just wait until after the season lol

If we need to fill that spot then I’d look to the portal and have Solo/Ross/Cloer/transfer compete for those minutes. Wouldn’t want to just swap Braylon with a less good freshman at SF, especially since not having size or defense at SG/SF has been an issue this year

Who is the less good freshmen at SF? Landrew? He’s also a 5* and makes Mullins look like a choirboy by comparison. he’ll be battling it out with Ross for starting SF
 
Assuming everyone’s back like we’re supposed to, we have 3 needs at the moment: secondary CG, starting PF, and backup C.

Demary / Transfer
Mullins / Ball
Ross / Landrew
Transfer / Stew
Reibe / Transfer

A secondary CG would overlap with the roles currently held by Mullins and/or Ball but would be a better fit in the rotation...Cloer would fill the backup PF role but that’s currently held by stew...

Count me in the camp that doesn’t think Reibe is penciled in as a starter. Not sure you can play a big that doesn’t rebound or stand up to any real physicality more than backup minutes. Think it’s a recipe for disappointing season.

I’m hoping we decide to go all in for one of the top portal centers. Or at least a Michigan Reed type that really competes with Reibe for the starting job.

I swear I think some of your enjoy the off season then the actual season.

To each their own I guess.

It’s because the transfer portal has given college basketball a free agency period similar to MLB, NFL, NBA. It’s like a bonus season. Very enjoyable and has given us months of extra activity.

And with no one having a clue what staff is thinking or what Mullins is doing. Pointless exercise at this juncture.

Ironic when your hot takes are the epitome of a pointless exercise

Hot takes are where it's at. Roster posturing when it's a massive guessing game this early is impossible. We don't know who is staying or going, and each/every player is a significant domino. I get it at a high level, but it's impossible to drill down on an individual player level.

We know we need a few roles for sure, no matter what happens. Until the portal opens and we know what the full menu is, it feels way premature.
