Just cuz my dude Aidan Mahaney hasn't been mentioned on here much lately...

[uconnfan68]

I've always wondered if teams ever practice six or seven on five (starters) to force the offense to work a little harder.

Geno does, all the time.

I only saw Mahaney play 4 times last year, against SD State, Xavier, Gonzaga in the WCC Tournament, and GCU in the NCAAs. He was terrific against Gonzaga, but SD State, Xavier, and GCU all had physical guards that bullied him into missing a ton of shots.

I suspect he'll get better looks under Hurley's system, but it's why I'm not yet sold on him.

That's 3 guys and there's 80 minutes at the guard spots, Aidan is going to play a ton

4 Guys if you include Aiden. It will be interesting to see if one of them earns & Hurley gives 30 minutes a game. One of them may be under 15 minutes.

New video of Aidan just dropped. Some really crafty dribbles to get an open look or find a pass.

No look passes, he really distributes well and he doesn’t have to carry the offense because we are loaded. The question is he physical enough on D?

 

[CL82]

Just saying.

You posted yours on Monday. The practice highlights thread was started Thursday, 3 days after your post. The 13 and 17 minutes ago refer to the most recent comment on the thread.

Thanks for your Aidan info!

Lol, no worries. It was just funny to see both threads back to back in my feed.

Pretty confident. Looks like a floor leader.

Aidan's issue isn't that he is not good. His issue is that he has to be better than Solo, Hassan and Nowell. We know what Hassan brings; he is getting his minutes. You all know I have a man crush on Solo (though it looked like Stewey was abusing him in those highlights from practice), but I think Solo will be a savage this year, and Nowell will be the next big PG at UConn. That's tough competition. I hope he can step up.

Stewart is going to abuse a lot of people. Very talented.

So our staff that just won back to back titles including the head coach who just turned down a head coaching job with the LA Lakers and is pretty much the darling of college basketball at the moment is sold on him…but you aren’t? Got it.

That's a pathetic response. The entire post explains clearly what I mean, and I said he'll benefit from Hurley's system.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I spotted this summation of him at summer practice:

"I think he's gotten through the culture shock of just what our workouts are like, the intensity, the competitiveness, the tempo, the pace, the no fouls being called, like everything that's going on, "Hurley told a reporter. "So I think he's a guy we just gonna turn him loose and have really attack offensively. We need him to produce the way Tristen and Cam did at those guard spots."

Can't wait til November...

I just put the pieces together...handle/thread/post...
