I would think County would be the backup PG. It would be good to groom him in that role with Demary leaving the year after. Ball is not a PG in any sense even as a backup.Hearing that Khamenia playing a leverage move to get more NIL from Duke. Duke not doing well in the portal and wants to retain him. I hope we don't get played by both Freeman and Khamenia. Also, very quiet on a backup point guard. Does Hurley plan on making do with Solo and Ross if Demary is injured or in foul trouble?
1.5-2.5What's the going rate for a good PF in this day and age, generally? I have no concept of the dollars at play here (and I still have eligibility left!)
It’s inevitable. Every recruit that hasn’t picked us is not a “UConn guy,” doesn’t care about winning, and didn’t fit the culture.If we don’t get him let’s not pretend like we didn’t want him
Your posts consistently raise negative suspicions.Choosing money over winning is a novel concept. I have aways understood the making huge amounts of money is winning.
He'll take his uncrusting uncrustables game to somewhere other than Storrs I guess.So maybe Alabama or Kentucky? Well he was 2 injury prone for my liking.
To be fair, definitionally difficult to be a UConn guy if you're picking someone other than UConn.Every recruit that hasn’t picked us is not a “UConn guy,”
With the way injuries having been limiting UConn the last two years, I am fine with opting against taking a guy with his injury history.Just heard from a good source that the staff backed off the last few days because A) Alabama made a new offer which is driving up his price, and B) there is some real concern on the medical side that his previous foot injury could be chronic.
I think they would still be after him if not for the fact they feel the Duke kid is better suited for their system, is younger, and doesn't have a major injury history.
That also is a factor here.Hopefully this is a good sign about Khamenia and Mullins.
Hello Nikolas.Buh-bye Donnie

Hello Nikolas.
Reading the tea leaves, methinks Freeman canceled his visit with the knowledge that Khamenia will commit to UConn. Wouldn't be shocked if we hear the good news by the evening commute.
So annoyed the Locked on podcast keeps trying to compare Solo to Russell Westbrook...I would think County would be the backup PG. It would be good to groom him in that role with Demary leaving the year after. Ball is not a PG in any sense even as a backup.
Did I miss something re MullinsBut we wanted Mullins more, and that seems like what this came down to.
I think we're done now and can lock the thread. Can't compete with higher humidity states.He'll take his uncrusting uncrustables game to somewhere other than Storrs I guess.
What the??? This is quite the rumor to spread. If NK is doing this he went from the ultimate AK replacement to the ultimate Duke POSHearing that Khamenia playing a leverage move to get more NIL from Duke.

Does Hurley plan on making do with Solo and Ross if Demary is injured or in foul trouble?
Solo can’t defend 2 guards how in the world would he defend opposing point guards?So apparently all those times he effectively dribbled the ball across halfcourt breaking press and the times where he was given the ball to effectively initiate offense were hallucinations on my part. I stand corrected.
That being said, I don't disagree with you that he needs to improve his ball handling and ability/initiative to drive into the lane.
I bet they are points of emphasis for his off-season work and he comes back improved.
Emergency 3rd point guardI would think County would be the backup PG. It would be good to groom him in that role with Demary leaving the year after. Ball is not a PG in any sense even as a backup.
I'm not Zanetto fan, but he's miles better than this new guy. Did this new guy compare Solo to Westbrook? RME.So annoyed the Locked on podcast keeps trying to compare Solo to Russell Westbrook...
Not as bad as the last host's nonsense but I was having trouble listening to that comparison.
Trilly says he's likely backGotta close on Nik now
Did I miss something re Mullins
Deep breathes. I think we get a lot of clarity today.What the??? If NK is doing this he went from the ultimate AK replacement to the ultimate Duke POS
