Jaylin Stewart staying put at UConn

Did we have to merge threads or did 15 people just feel obligated to repost the exact same IG post to harvest likes?

Also, great news!
 
It’s good he’s coming back but you guys aren’t seriously penciling him in as a starter right? If Karaban doesn’t come back he has to get recruited over

I hope AK doesnt come back. He really gains absolutely nothing coming back. Its time for him to move on. My selfish side would take him back but its time for him to move on he owes no one anything.

Good news. I figured he was gone based on Jamar’s posts after Florida game.

Bad news is we have to hear Gus Johnson talk about Donny’s cousin.

Better than hearing Donny trash UConn basketball.

To be fair, he’s gotten better since we became good again….

I can give an explanation. The board is currently set to wait 30 minutes for any new threads to load. I'm told that's because at this time of year there are fans from other teams coming on here to talk crap so that gives admins 30 minutes to delete those threads. So within that 30 minutes there were multiple posters trying to break the Stewart news, including me, because they didn't see it posted yet. Once the 30 minutes was up there were multiple threads with the Stewart news and an admin merged them all together. So that's why the start of this thread is a mess.

Now that the season is over can the admins take that setting off? There is going to be more breaking news in the next few weeks.

Don't think he'll be penciled in regardless, but I expect him to compete with Mullins for the starting 3 spot if Karaban is here
 
Very happy for Stewie to come back! He’s always full of positive energy on the court.

Some observations about his defense. He usually stands tall with his hands up. This leads to faster reaction times when the ball handler shoots — note, he gets quite a few blocks as a result. The downside is when the ball handler spins and tries to drive by he’s a bit slower to react, often leading to getting beat on the dribble or being driven by. I hope the coaches can work on his footwork to find balance with a wider stance and a more crouched position to react quicker. I’m no pundit on this — just a person that used to play recreational bball in the past.

I hope he gets 15-20min per game this season. He deserves it. Came in often and gave us quick buckets and energy when the team had been struggling.

Let’s go Jaylin! 2025 is your year!

I don’t understand this game. He gains another year of playing basketball for Uconn while making 1.5M+.

Thats not absolutely nothing.

Definitely want him back. Money talks, so he needs to weigh maybe NBA versus definitely NIL. Karaban, Stewart, Reed, Ball, and maybe Mahaney and Ross would form a nice returning nucleus along with the 4 incoming freshmen. Two portal combo/PGs and a power forward make 13, with 2 scholarships in reserve.

The Solo, Ross, Stewie, and Reed nucleus is gonna hit like crack.

Well revisit this next year when that group is killing it.

Accompanied by 3 McDonald’s All-Americans and hopefully the best big guard that enters the portal. Mahaney back for the Joey Calcaterra Role? That’s 9-deep as need immediately. Solo and Mahaney the only players under 6’5.

We need to get more athletic and better off the bounce finishing. There will be more players portaling.

Think it’s best for everyone if he started his professional career. Got to give Stewie the space to have his breakout year.

No. Just no. You’re pulling the classic “put in the back up qb!” stuff again. We know what Karaban’s probable ceiling and floor look and I’ll take his floor over Stewart’s potential ceiling any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Being enamored with potential and making room is fool’s gold.

Excited to see how it shakes out

We’ll see man.

We’ve seen this with Hawkins coming on after Tyrese Martin, Clingan after Sanogo, Solo this year.

It’s really not a hard projection to make. Guys just need the space to actually play up to their potential.

You said the same stuff last year we cannot afford to bank on soph-jun jumps or jun-sen jumps. Unless we’re willing to be a borderline top 25 team.

I’m not sure what you mean. I’ve been saying for awhile we didn’t bank our season on a class that didn’t start 2/3 guys.

I’m confident that when they are in positions to lead they will do just fine.

I'm not sure what you were watchng but by the end of the year he was one of best defensive players and the metrics back it up. You just have some very strange takes. Do you even know anything about basketball or just like to say some crazy stuff to get a reaction?
Expand ...

He had a DRtg of 110.9, which is abysmal. Saying "the metrics back it up" without providing the metrics means you made it up.

You and I will never meet, so why do you attack me personally all the time on this board? I doubt anyone else pays attention to your utterly forgettable posts, but you really come across as one of those pathetic people that think they will get more cred by going after a regular poster. It's really weak.
