Sorry if already posted


This is like an NBA or NFL GM saying how happy they are with how their draft went.

Do they ever say "we did a crappy job" or "we're not happy with who we ended up with"?

(That's not to say I'm disappointed.)

Hey Guys, If the three's are NOT raining from at least two new players consistently next fall, then Danny Hurley is NOT doing his job.

The Huskies have long needed & not gotten 2-3 tough-minded, competitive swing players - WITH GOOD HANDLES & COMPOSURE - who can drain 3+ three's each in a row consistently throughout a game & the season. Talking about Great Shooters who are tough as we see every year at Villanova. Those are the guys who win close BE games in the 2020's.

Get some tough, athletic freshman shooters up to Storrs, the rest will fall into place, that is, if Danny Hurley can even coach the offensive side of the ball.

Nothing unexpected here. We had some clear needs. A starting caliber PG with size, a scoring SG/wing that can defend and a backup PG that can come in and not create a huge fall off in production. That's exactly what we got.

I suspect Dan is excited because as constructed, he no longer has pieces that don't really fit, except maybe Clingan and possibly Springs. But I don't think they will play very much. If we can get another transfer that can play, I'd say it should ideally be a SF with some physicality.

Do you see Alleyne as the backup point guard? I see him as more of a 2, with Diarra being the back up point.

I see Diarra as the backup PG. I see Alleyne as a SG that may have the strength to play some as a SF in our offense. We had no depth at SG behind Hawkins.

"A starting caliber PG [Newton] with size, a scoring SG/wing that can defend [Alleyne] and a backup PG [Diarra]"
