It's all a guess - stay patient and see what the UConn kids do this week, then picture becomes clearer. Too many moving parts. We know we need a starting 4 that isn't a 6'6" freshman. Hurley just went up against a big, physical team and lost and called them the best team in the country. I'd have to think he takes that into account as he builds a new team.
I'll rephrase it. The senior version of Ross, senior version of Stewart plus Landrew is better than the junior version of Ross the junior version of Stewart and Mullins.
That's what Newton could do....if our set was completely blown up and everything broken down, he could still create something on his own and get off a shot. I thought Demary could be very similar, but he didn't quite show those qualities. I'm hoping next season he can take the next step like Newton did his 2nd year and become that guy.
He had better be in the weight room right now as we speak.
No thanks
Covering all your bases here re Reibe. I said a transfer C that can play 20mpg that means can either split time as a backup or starter.
What about starting PF? Or did you mean giant wing?
I like him more than most, but the point I am making is that it's not realistic to expect a top center portal add with a McDonald's All-American 19 yr old center already here
No, but I definitely expect him to test the draft (which he actually did last offseason while simultaneously committing to UConn). It wouldn't shock me at all if he's gone.
I was shocked we didn’t try to exploit Mara more on the perimeter when they were auto switching.
Yeah that's what I meant by wing. Prefer a 4 but if there's a really good fit who's a 3 I would be fine starting that guy next to Ross/Landrew/Stewart. Ideally it's a 4 though and I think that guy will be out there
But he says he’s worried about how are they all gonna graduate. I don’t know how he keeps a straight face when he peddles his crap.
Is he referring to the portal or the draft though? I've seen him as a 2nd round guy in some mocks
Does Reibe follow Coach Murray to BC ?
Believe he is speaking about just the NBA Draft
He wasn't specific so who knows for sure unless you have more information. I believe that his family moved to CT so you never know what their plans are either. This is the part of the season that I hate. Every time I see a new post on transfers, I get more anxious. A wise man would just stay away but that wise man is not me.
Long. Dan Hurley preferred. Very impressive for a freshman against us.
Know what you mean. When I heard they were opening the portal and 12:01 I think they knew fans. Uconn bb is a year round sport. BY fantasy reaches epic heights during this season.
Maybe take Mullins spot if he leaves Mullins 6-6. Wilkins 6-5
Not disagreeing that we need competition at center. But your examples don't reflect the current situation. Clingan was an incoming freshman who signed up for a two-year plan before going pro, and Johnson had one more year left and knew his role--and yet he still started his last season despite us bringing in Reed. We will definitely bring someone in at the 5 spot---I do not agree with others that it will be a top of the line star center who's going to command huge money.
