Jahmir Young to visit on Friday

[CL82]

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

“Dad! W..T..F?!!”

 

[FfldCntyFan]

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

I've been on some iteration of this board for nearly two decades and one absolute is that the mood on this board will shift every time the wind changes direction.

Isn’t Friday a holiday?

May it be a good Friday!

Wait did you hear something concrete about the wind changing directions or is that just speculation?????

all the cranks would still find something to complain about

 

[BrysonDeMan]

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

Jay Wright is perfect. no critical comments allowed

 

[BrysonDeMan]

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.

i was hopeful to see Floyd play next year but if doesn't want to be a Husky, i'd gladly take Young and move on

So lets say we sign newton and young (Would be awesome, I understand its not a lock). What is our minutes breakdown Newton/young/hawkins/jackson/sanogo as starters with 30 minutes each and then karaban/castle/clingan/johnson with 15/15/10/10 a game?

Probably pretty close to that yeah. I'd feel really good about that roster. Basically a total refresh from last years team which we desperately needed. A ton of high ceiling guys and multiple guards that can create offense. If that is Hurley's vision then I'm sold

 

[aburks41]

....okay then

 

[HuskyFich]

....okay then

maybe Thursday? ( I know nothing, just a joke)

 

[RipCity]

Rothstein isn't the type of guy that would get duped, especially since he was first with the news. If that Stockrisers kid had it first I would be a little skeptical, but I trust Rothstein. We know that he is super well connected to Hurley and the program, it makes sense that Hurley told him to shush about it for optics reasons

Looks like you’re not as good at being a Twitter detective as you think

Just messing with you. That is usually how it goes but yeah, can’t count on a win right now for UConn.

 

[AllAbout5]

....okay then

Oh. That's not great news.

 

[aburks41]

Looks like you’re not as good at being a Twitter detective as you think

I mean Rothsteins tweet said that Young told him he was visiting UConn...It came straight from the mouth of the player

 

[Vancat]

heyyyyyyy we were supposed to switch to good news now.

 

[Connecticut13]

....okay then

But I thought the concensus was that Hurley called Rothstein and asked him to remove the tweet so as not to offend Floyd? Are you saying that everyone's ridiculous speculation was incorrect??!!

 

[aburks41]

I've just accepted that fact that we're a cursed program now. We sold our soul for 2011 and 2014. Now we're paying for it

Was supposed to have ended after Ollie left.

 

[Tenspro2002]

You realize, of course, that at this point, there are many hundreds (thousand?) of kids in the portal and very few of them have landed anywhere, so virtually all programs are in the position we are right now.

These guys peddle bs all the time

Hurley is an absolute L magnet right now though.

 

[ThabeetDown]

Hypothetically speaking, is there room for both Newton and Young though?

 

[NowInStorrs]

Maybe we needed a ? at the end of the title

 

[JMick]

Hypothetically speaking, is there room for both Newton and Young though?

Yes

 

[aburks41]

Hypothetically speaking, is there room for both Newton and Young though?

Unless Castle reclasses and is promised a starting spot, yes. The lineup would likely be Newton/Young/Hawkins/Jackson/Sanogo

 

[navery12]

Hypothetically speaking, is there room for both Newton and Young though?

Right now the answer to any question that starts with are there minutes for X is yes. Until we have 2 guys commit there's room for anyone without worry*

*Of course not a 5 but we haven't reached out to any so I'm discounting that
