Just A Reminder

It just goes to show how hard recruiting is. The best transfer G the Back to back champs could get was Mahaney… More than anything this makes me thankful for the fact that KU swooped in and outbid us for Timberlake which enabled us to get Cam. We don’t win back to back with Timberlake instead of Cam.

I mean hopefully Aiden turns it around but it’s been an unreal run at the guard transfer with T Newton, Joey California, and Cam Spencer.

If we took Timberlake last year, we’d all be crying a river.

My thoughts on winning it all are the same - it's a realistic goal.

Disagree. The winning of back to back titles is the recruiting tool.

When you are going for three peat you use that to lure in a -potential recruit. I mean saying you have the chance to play on a team that wins three in a row you are now always remembered. You know legacy kind of stuff. After you don’t win three in a row you use the back to back as an example of what is possible if you choose UConn.

Sorry but that is a basic selling strategy……

Nowell is going to have to develop. Diarra is gonna need a rest and Mahaney is proving to be an off guard not a point. Let him come in for Solo and run some action for him to allow him to shoot and score. We are gonna have to live with Nowell freshman mistakes but he is a point just gonna have to play a bigger role than originally anticipated.

The bigs is the hard part. Get Samson out reed in. Let him get some touches and allow him to be more like a Sanogo where we feed the ball into post more deliberately. The fouls on defense might have to be solved with some zone. I’m at a loss there as two games in a row isn’t an accident.

Stewart needs to be an impact off bench. Ross looks overmatched and can’t shoot from what we’ve seen.

That’s all I got. We have great coaches they are just gonna have to audible now that they see what exactly they have when the lights are now on.

Signare played better in his minutes yesterday than Johnson has all season. The move is to start Reed and rotate Johnson, Singare and in an emergency Stewart and AK.

I never got the impression that Danny was one of those snake oil salesman e.g Pitino and Calipari. That approach fits them but comes across as disingenuous with Hurley.

Start Reed and Nowell. Hass and SJ go back to their roles from last year. Stew is the backup at both forward spots and Mahaney comes off the bench for Solo at his more natural 2G spot. Ross goes back to spot duty.

You might be on to something
