Jahmir Young to visit on Friday

[aburks41]

It all makes sense now

 

[MDHuskFan]

Stay calm

 

[KingAG]

Newton and Jahmir Young would be a haul

 

[Com'rGordon]

Please Jesus

 

[elmcityboy]

if hurley brings in newton and young, plus another guy (castle reclass??) the mood on this board would shift significantly.

 

[Com'rGordon]

There's no way Ramey wants to come here if we get Newton and Young right? That almost guarantees he wouldn't start

We are going to either end up with one of the better backcourts in the country or will be stuck with a team of scrub guards. The new era of portal hoops is insane.

I’d think this is far from a lock but this is awesome news. I’m gonna get really greedy and start to think about Newton/Young/Ramy/Castle reclass. Don’t RS Castle because he isn’t a 4 year guy anyway, but can ease him in next year and he can take over as a sophomore.

Most visits end in commitments, from what I've seen. That's why I think the South Carolina transfer's going to Providence.

Time to climb back up the cliff many of you jumped off of yesterday,

 

[Kenny11]

My quick youtube highlight video take is that Young has a lot of similarities to Cole on offense as far as craftiness getting into the paint, playing with confidence, getting his shot off in funky ways, and have a nice lefty jumper from deep. Totally different body type though.

Tweet got deleted?

 

[NotADime89]

Why did Rothstein delete the tweet?

 

[AdamaNation]

Isn’t Friday a holiday?

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Went to Dematha, obviously a bit ahead of 'Hawk.

 

[aburks41]

What tf is going on...The past 24 hours have been so bizarre.

For anyone wondering: Jon Rothstein deleted his tweet that Jahmir Young was set to visit UConn this friday

 

[NotADime89]

Isn’t Friday a holiday?

I doubt celebrating Good Friday will stop any recruiting

 

[Vancat]

Why did Rothstein delete the tweet?

maybe someone shushed him.

 

[Incursio007]

If we got Young, Newton to transfer & Castle to reclass...that would be nuts. Backcourt would go from being a major concern to the absolute strength of the team with Hawkins/JAX/Karaban all able to play the 2 spot.

I never expected that we would be so active with incoming and outgoing transfers. Dan Hurley must understand that unless you’re Jay Wright, this is the way the game has to be played these days.

Yeah...didn't want to scare our last remaining PG Andrew Hurley into entering the portal

Jay Wright has lost a 5 star #29 point guard in the nation...transfers happen.

I would much rather have 4 years of Corey Floyd Jr. than 1-2 years of an undersized mid-major transfer who is an unproven scorer vs. good teams.

But I guess I’ll have to trust the staff.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

FWIW, here are the combined stats from Newton + Young last season:

37.5p, 10.7r, 8.7a, 4.5 to, 2.5s
45.2 fg%, 52.1 2p%
104 for 308 from 3 (33.7%)
9.1 ftas at a 87.1 ft%

What I see:

• Exciting volume on the offensive end
• Ability to attack the rim and generate opponent fouls
• Good efficiency from inside the arc and excellent FT%
• Less than ideal, but adequate perimeter game
• Can contribute to offense in a variety of ways, even when they aren't scoring.

I mean, I'm tempering expectations, but if we get both of these guys, I'd be incredibly pumped.

My thought is Young told Rothstein directly that he was visiting (as the tweet implied), but the staff didn't want it to seem as if they pushed Floyd out just to get a replacement the next day so Tripp or someone else asked Jon to delete the tweet.

All my friends are heathens

How can you use unproven as a slight against the transfer in comparison to a kid who hasn't stepped foot on a college court?

Easter is Sunday. Not the best weekend for visits . I think they got the weekend wrong
