He's actually a handsome guy, going to make buckets of money in endorsements, unless he has a Pee Wee Herman voice or something.

Very happy with McNeeley. Fits our roster needs much better than Flagg.

I agree. He'd fill much the same role as AK right now. But also... Flagg is an incredible talent. He might be so good he makes Scheyer look like a not terrible coach.
 
I remember when we missed on Filipowski which this board was drooling over and ended up with Karaban instead (yes they play different positions). That turned out pretty well for us. Let’s see how this Flagg thing plays out. Dook has had lots of great college players like Zion that were considered generational talents but never even made a final 4, let alone won a championship.

He has a Conner Weigman voice. That should play.

Still hard to fathom that Pikiell managed to land those 2 Rutgers players sandwiched between Flagg and Liam above.

Is Bailey related to Jammin James Bailey from Rutgers in 1977 or so?

Yeah it's even more baffling that after knowing he had the 2 stud freshmen coming in for the whole summer he couldn't put together a decent team around them.

They return a good 2 in Jeremiah Williams who was their leading scorer once he returned from his suspension. They bring in Tyson Acuff who led the MAC in scoring. Another 2. They bring in Derkack who probably was a backup plan for us and should be a good role player. Another 2. And then Martini from Princeton who is a sniper as a stretch 4. To go with their 2 incredible freshman. Not bad talent per se but a super weird roster construction, especially considering Pike’s style as a coach. They are a rim protector/rebounder away from looking really dangerous. Can’t imagine where they could have found a guy like that.

They probably needed a good PG to feed everyone. Doesn’t make much sense to bring in all those 2s/scorers when your freshmen are suppose to carry that role on the team. Otherwise they might look like the Phoenix Suns offensively.
 
Liam has the potential to be one of the best shooting threats in the country if he fully buys into Hurley and his system. Very glad he’s here and getting recognition already!

It's as if the Dookie aholeness is already beginning to spread inside him. Seriously I think that whole creepy baby thing damages these guys mentally.

Good lord, I am so happy we have nothing to do with that flopper and his mommy/girlfriend situation.

We have been really lucky with the people we have been able to root for at UConn.

I remember in the 90's when we used to mock the BC Eagles. Their banners should read

"Number one in the polls in some December"

I can vividly remember Lyman Depriest locking down Dana Barros in the 2nd half of a game like 2 pts made vs 20 or so in the first half. Another UConn moment at the expense of BC.

Not sure Flagg would not fit at UConn but remember, AK might have gone if Flagg was coming.

Flagg would fit on any team ever. He'd be the starting 3/4 regardless if AK was here or not. Dude is an incredible talent.

I take the point as "you are only getting one of Flagg and McNeeley, and given the current UConn roster (AK and Stewart), McNeeley might be a better roster fit than Flagg would have been" and not "Flagg wouldn't fit on the UConn roster." The key word would be "better."

There is certainly an element to truth to this, but Flagg, AK, and Stewart as a front line would have been problematic for opponents.
