Good info on Karaban
For Karaban is really simple- if he’s gonna be a consensus first round pick he will go, he’s done so much here he’s earned that. Anything short of that he’s gonna come back and be one of the stars of college basketball.

Sorry. Many of the other threads are hard to open. That is on me
Hurley has mentioned the Karaban in first round thing before so technically isn't a new quote but i understand.In the world of UConn MBB, there's nothing more important right now than whether AK returns.
Yes, Hurley's comment was mentioned in a couple other threads but IMO it's worth highlighting.
why are you apologizing dude? I thank you for posting this. I had not seen it.Sorry. Many of the other threads are hard to open. That is on me
He mentioned the decision making process at the championship parade too. It was more about his advice rather than saying what Karaban was going to do. But I have to believe Karaban is listening to all the advice. He's not going to make a rash decision.Hurley has mentioned the Karaban in first round thing before so technically isn't a new quote but i understand.
I hope Alex goes in the 1st round this year. The 2024 draft is considered one of the weakest drafts in history. If he doesn’t get a first round grade this year, coming back he would need a massive season to get a 1st round grade next year in a much stronger and deeper draft.Good info on Karaban

Indeed. Karaban had a very good season, but was inconsistent with his shooting and his ability to score. Definitely something to work on.This is very bullish for Karaban returning. I don't think Karaban is like Andre Jackson, where Jackson had to strike while the iron was hot and coming back was unlikely to help him and might have even hurt him.
I think there's very little downside for Karaban coming back, only the opportunity cost of missing out on a year of guaranteed NBA earnings, hence "1st round or bust."

I've been repeating this as well. I think it's more nuances than Hurley's quote.I hope Alex goes in the 1st round this year. The 2024 draft is considered one of the weakest drafts in history.

Very good advice. Teams have much more of a vested interest in having their first round picks succeed and generally give them more “rope”. If AK chooses to return, then I hope the staff ensures he’s taken care of through NIL, as he deserves that as well.He mentioned the decision making process at the championship parade too.

“There’s a lot there,” Hurley said. “He’s clearly a draft-able NBA prospect. I think for most of these players now with NIL – if you’re going to be a clear-cut, consensus first-round pick and you feel like you’re mature enough emotionally to go into those locker rooms, then I think you’ve got a responsibility to really consider going. If you’re not going to be a consensus clear-cut first-round pick, I think you stay in college. Second round, it’s a tough spot. Up through those mid-30s, there’s no more guaranteed contracts and I think it’s better to be in college than it is on a two-way, in my opinion.”

I think i did . But here it isDid anyone post the interview with Reddick? It was good. I enjoyed DH talking about the design of the offense. He was inspired by the SF 49ers.... which was a surprise to hear. He wanted a few formations where multiple sets could be run from the same formation. The design of the offense was obviously excellent but the ability to take it from paper to reality was very impressive.
I sometimes worry DH says too much.
It was in the national media thread.Did anyone post the interview with Reddick?
This was the first thread where I saw it, so I appreciate the repostThis has already been posted in 2 other threads.
Doesn’t matter. The secret sauce is not the playbook or the hours or anything else- the S.S. is Hurley and staff.I sometimes worry DH says too much.
Agreed. He puts us back in the top 3 conversationIn the world of UConn MBB, there's nothing more important right now than whether AK returns.
