Kadary Richmond Transferring

I have no idea why he did not get more time at Syracuse.

Zero interest in 99% of the kids who transfer and think most of you are nuts for wanting any of them, but this one, though, I think is a no-brainer.

Is Richmond a classic big PG or can he be off the ball as a CG? Have not seen enough tape on him to comment on this.
 
Great get if we get him. He instantly makes the team better. As much as Martin is a tough guy, I don't think he will play much more if he continues to shoot 1 for 19+ from 3 pt land. We can't continue to roll out lineups where we're essentially playing 4 on 5 especially with Bouknight leaving.

I think we'll be very good because our defense will be elite but agree we play this weird game where posters pretend we have too much talent for players to be added. Jackson and Sanogo have tons of talent but they are both developing.

Soms posters are saying we have too much depth/good players and we need to carry less players than the normal scholarship limit, this is after 7 years of having an undermanned team. I'll never understand this place.

Everyone on the board wants us to be great but some don't seem to want us to recruit and stockpile talent like the great teams do.

You stockpile talent where you can but many posters have this idea that the staff will add like 3 transfer players plus have the seniors return, that’s not going to happen. Hurley has said they won’t become Transfer U and I’d be pretty surprised if he carries more than 13 guys. Im all for adding talent, if you can add a guy like Richmond, great let’s do it. It’s a balancing act is all and have to keep in mind developing your young guys too otherwise they’ll go find somewhere else to get better.

He signs with UConn and other chips will fall, I think, from the current roster. And it would not be Cole.

Specifically because this year didn't count for eligibility status so were one to bail he would still have years, plural, of eligibility left.
 
Kadary is better than both Cole and Gaff. The problem is you have to get rid of one of them for Kadary to want to come here.

We will have Gaff, Cole, and Diggins as point guards for next year. That's a lot of guys for one spot.

Kadary will be a starter at his next stop. He won't be coming to UCONN to sit behind lesser talent like Cole. He already did that at Syracuse.

You are so, so bad at this.

It’d bother me if I were you.

Kadary is 6’5. He can play 1-3. He’d be taking a combination of Bouk, Polley, and Adams minutes
 
As much as it would be nice to have him cuz he would be great and as much as it would be fun to stick to the orange, he’s not coming. Too deep at the 1

So we’re too deep at the one to add a player who’d immediately be our best one? Kadary isn’t sitting behind anybody on this team. He doesn’t have to worry about that

He’s not a PG only in college. He was a SF out of high school. He’s basically a point forward but you can easily play him as a 1, 2, or 3...and even a small ball 4 in a pinch. Don’t get too caught up with positions.
 
If there are 20 minutes available at the 4 for Martin/Jackson you have enough minutes to play Cole, Gaffney, Diggins, Richmond, Hawkins, Jackson and Martin 20 minutes a game each on average. I'm confident Hurley can make it work + keep the guys happy.

Some teams like Oregon run out an entire starting lineup that is 6'5"-6'7". A guy that is 6'5" and athletic can play the 1-4 in todays game. And imagine running out a lineup like Kadary, Jackson, Martin, Akok, and Sanogo? Freak athletes and size all over the place

And once he's up to speed Johnson at the 5, that would be 5 guys who could legitimately switch onto and defend everyone on the court

Yeah but what’s his 100m backstroke time?

Kadary is a point guard who needs the ball in his hands to be effective. He already got 20 minutes a game as a freshman at the Cuse. He transferred to be a feature guy playing 30-35 minutes a game.

He's a player and adds plenty to our team, but he is not coming here to play 20 minutes a game as a 3 and D guy for us or play backup to inferior point guards on our roster.

PS: I am against transfers as a general rule but the only transfers who I think are any good are Grady and Kadary. Grady is already off the board.
