I don't say this often, but this is a must get.

I feel like the portal is a bunch of ok, good, solid guys.

Given how well he fits our most important need and that's he's clearly one of the best transfers, I think he makes us VERY dangerous right away.

Ya think?

In a school with a coach that preaches "culture over transfers" we are now coveting a guy ranked only 7 positions ahead on the transfer rankings (on a list of 1700) of our top 60 frosh recruit who already had a year in the "culture" .


Must get?

absolutely.


We definitely need him.

Tristen Newton is 7 positions higher than Rahsool Diggins? Who made that ranking? Lol.

One guy averages 18 points in the AAC, the other guy couldn't sniff the court.

I'm going to guess Rahsool Diggins does not deserve to be ranked ahead of some of those guys, particularly Desmond Cambridge and Justice Hill.

I get your point, he's not a "must-get". But on the surface it seems Newton is a massive upgrade on Diggins, and is one of the best transfer options, and instantly makes our ceiling a lot higher? Do you not agree?

"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos
Of nothing
He says his name's William but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole
life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits

There's a lot of scoring or combo guys in the portal, but I think of the upper echelon of available transfer guards, he's the best passer. And then on top of that he has the best size, too. He's the truest combo guard in that he's good at both scoring AND passing, although the term is usually meant to describe a guard who can score and pass a little.
 
Being a two year kid is so great so we can allow Castle to develop a little bit more slowly, than ideally go pro after year 2

The weather in Storrs this afternoon is seriously gorgeous, 61°, dry, light southwest winds, partly cloudy, and comfortable. Couldn't have picked a better day for a visit...

He’ll be in Hartford, but I’m sure the weather is great here too.

I lived in Watson Hall for a year and a half; on nice days we used to lay out on blankets and sunbathe on the berm alongside Hillside Road. It got so popular that someone made totally cheesy "Watson Beach" t-shirts (think 80s, Miami Vice style), which I still probably have somewhere. It's embarrassing to think about now; it was a tiny area that was basically a step above a drain ditch. And especially on days like today, all those pasty white bodies that hadn't seen the sun (or much exercise) for several months.

Mansfield Hollow was a much better call.

Not sure, just know that’s where he’ll be. Maybe he’s in Storrs right now?

If he flew into Bradley, why wouldn't he just go to Storrs? He doesn't have to go into Hartford to get to Storrs :confused:

Unless, he want to visit the sites at Hartford or unless that is part of the itinerary set up by Dan Hurley?

I'm guessing he's talking about dinner; maybe he knows of reservations at Capital Grille?

This guy has proven he can get it done at the D-I level. Diggins has not.

Please note that 70 Yarders are liking the chances of an East Caroline PG coming to UConn.

Okay, I just watched a random video.

Off to LIKE 4xChamp's post.
