2026 Recruiting: Dylan Mingo Official Visit this weekend!

[FfldCntyFan]

He didn't want to let seven years of college go down the drain.

Fixed it for you.

 

[Kitaman]

If Hurley decided to hand the keys to Steph he would've been the best freshman PG we've seen in college since John Wall

OK

 

[Son of Robert]

And won the Bob Cousy award as the country’s best point guard. And MVP of the final 4. And yet some people here tend to overlook all this. I say his number should be retired. Ray Allen was a great player and a tremendous pro but Tristen had a better college career

Hurley and UConn put Tristen up on the wall like the next day which I thought was really impressive. We don't win either of those championships without him.

 

[Son of Robert]

Not a question of badly in the sense that he is a difference maker like Mingo. I just prefer to have a strength player in the front court like Sanogo, Tarris, Kirk King. Jeff Adrien, Toraino Walker, that can enforce his will in the paint. Tristan seems like that type of player to me. I've seen him be very effective, and I would think we would be well positioned to successfully recruit him.

What are the chances of a 2nd year Rrezon Elezay being a force in the paint? Could not tell too much from the tape we saw, he moves reasonably well, some good timing on blocks, and good size for sure. There are varying opinions on here on why Hurley brought him in, be curious to know what his upside really looks like.

Mechanics of the Jump Shot: The "Dip" Increases the Accuracy of Elite Basketball Shooters - PubMed

The present study assessed the mechanics of the basketball jump shot to determine whether or not the "dip" increased shot accuracy. There remained a debate between coaches who believed "dipping" was too slow and coaches who believed "dipping" increased accuracy. A mixed design was used for the...

Not immediately discarding or disputing, but their are two glaring characteristics here, a single author and Frontiers press. The study may be good but those factors leave me leery. Frontiers is likely the only press that would publish it, but that is an interest thing. For something like this, I'd imagine it was conducted by an assistant professor, which means the data should have been reviewed or at least collected another person. (Didn't read the M&M, so apologies if this was adressed.)

Who can say? But fans will always find a Rrezon to believe.

 

[NJHoops]

There’s just such a nice comfort level on both sides with these NY players, especially guards. It’s a good fit.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Any actual info on how the visit went?

And maybe not have won the second Natty.

Maybe would have

Paging @Dove

Based on what he says is important, his decision should have been made this weekend.
Being valued by the coaches (who else is looking at so few players and only one PG).
Who else values defense as much as Dan Hurley?
Playing for a championship.
Great relationship with the head coach? Listen to what the Ross brothers and others have said

Yes that was great. But that does not mean his number was retired. You could make the argument that he had the best UConn career of any player in our history

I have a lot of favorite players at UConn but what Tristen and Bazz did for us each in their own way was epic. Bazz more emotional and Tristen so calm never getting rattled. If Demary can do this for us it’s going to be crazy. We don’t hear a lot about him in the preseason but what I expect is a big improvement from last year especially when shot clock is winding down.

Yeah if Demary can win us two championships that’d be cool

 

[TheHorde]

He didn't want to let seven years of college go to waste.

Followed by a stint in the Peace Corps

Looks like Thibs was there at the same time as DM. That might be a nice touch for a NYC kid

I love the chairs. What a lunatic.

The women's practice court has their final four chairs as well. The teams are meant to take them and frankly we have so many there likely isn't a better place to store them. Two birds one stone.

They should auction them off. I'd take a couple!

 

[Chin Diesel]

Based on previous timelines with Hurley as HC, if there's any good news, it'll come mid-week.

I'm still cautiously optimistic we'll get him, but it's going to a wait. He has a LONG list of visits and it's going to be a bidding war

You're speculating or you were told this?

Yeah, unfortunately it’s more than just them liking the coaches, team and program.

They were selling them at the last surplus sale back in the Spring of 2024. I don’t remember which Final Four they were from but they were there for sale.

Not an insider or anything, just from everything that's been in the recruiting articles. And Trilly reiterated the same thing today
