Kadary Richmond Transferring

And a ton of bricks
Not sure why people think Jackson, Martin, Akok, and Sanogo won't improve significantly this offseason. They will have a real offseason for the first time in 2 years, and they will be fully healthy. They're going to be extremely good next season
 
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.

He also lets Cole play off the ball more and spot up for 3s more.

He wouldn’t play 20min here or back up anybody. He’s the starter from day one

That's the only way he comes here. A guarantee that he will be starting and lead point for the team for 30 minutes a game.

He is a good player.
 
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.
I watched Kadary play 8-10x at Brewster as the point guard. Zero minutes at any other position. Point guard ball in his hands 100% controlling every set. Absolutely no minutes at small forward or off ball. If he played small forward it was someplace else. Terrance Clarke on that Brewster team so he has a close contact to get positive or negative feedback about Kentucky. Brewster kids dotted all over the NCAA so you never know what the conversations are, but for sure there are inputs about playing in lots of places for lots of coaches. So far with all the transfer buzz, Wahab is the only player I've seen mentioning a desire to win. When El-Amin addressed the press years ago during his UConn visit he said he was evaluating whether the talent here could win a national championship with him. The desire to win would be a refreshing attitude to see expressed from somebody.

Never said they wouldn’t, only shooter out of that group is Akok in my eyes, his stroke is solid and this year was a recovery year. Jackson needs serious work, Martin is a set shooter, needs a lot of improvement and definitely was allergic to finishing bunnies. He brings a lot to the team outside of that though. Sanogo was extremely good inside but never really took jump shots. UConn is losing their best scorer in Bouk, Gaffney is streaky at best and hopefully continues to improve and Cole is solid. Polley had an amazing game and a half and was mediocre most of the season. Having said all that...I do think all of these guys are talented and glad to have them all. I’d take Kadary in an instant but that 5 man lineup stated with Kadary would be abysmal at shooting
 
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
Who’s starting over him if he wanted to come here?
 
Arent we all agreed that Cole, Kadary, and Jackson would play 30ish mins per game next season? Where is the room for all the shooters people want to bring in on top of Kadary? We're already bringing in 2 top 50 guards, and returning Gaffney, who people are now apparently relying on for shooting as well. Where are we finding all these minutes for another shooter?
Exactly this is what people need to understand. If we bring in Kadary there's very little room for the shooters we're supposed to bring in.

People complain that we are not good enough yet. They also complain we have no room for good players?? That's a head scratcher. We have 3 scholarships open. If we get Richmond we still have 2 more openings to fill the need for a shooter, backup C, etc... It's not an "either or" thing. Bring in talent and let the players fight it out and let Hurley sort it. It's really not that complicated.
 
You're really pushing this a little hard. I said he doesn't fit an area of immediate need. You think he's immediately the best player on the team, I get it. We disagree. It's okay. Are you telling me he's the next Ben Simmons and is going to go first overall?
Hard-pushing is what he does.
This year, it's been Fatts first, now Kadary. Last year, it was Landers Nolley, with a pivot to Tyrese.
 
1. Kadary would be amazing. We'd go into next year guaranteed to have an actual point guard on our team. People saying he could play minutes at the 2 or 3 must never watch this kid. He's 100% point guard and having him on the court playing any position other than point guard is a complete waste of his talent. It's really hard to find actual point guards.

2. Anyone who wants Allen Griffin within 100 miles of our team is nuts. Syracuse fans would love it if he transferred to UConn, it would be a small bright spot in their complete dumpster fire.
 
Maybe a guard that doesn't shoot. He looks like a potential Kevin Freeman to me.

I’d give him a covid free off-season to work on his shooting before I make that statement. He has a nice stroke at the free throw line, nice release, and good height. Sometimes it just takes work. If he can get to 35-37% from three, he will tough to guard

I knew they made the commitment edits. But when did they starting reporting on recruiting? I'm assuming because of the nature of their purpose they have good sources
 
Let's go Seton Hall, but if he ends up at FSU, that will be hilarious.

Him and mills is a heck of a backcourt.

Wonder what mills thinks about his transfer now

We're losing 2 players at the 2 and have 1 incoming freshman 2. We're a bit saturated at the 1, so I hope Kadary doesn't want to play point somewhere. He basically played point at Cuse.. We might be out of luck if that's the case. But he's probably most naturally a playmaking 2 at this level, and that would be an excellent addition to the roster and he would get starting minutes there for us. Cole is quite good spotting up off the ball, so it's a pretty good fit, to be hoenst.
Not sure if you've watched KR, but in the games in which I saw he would bring ability we don't have. The ball's on a string with him and he gets inside and either gets to the rim or passes off off for dunks and layups.

Not a two at this point because of his outside shot but he'll make life easier for the whole offense with his playmaking and with his length and quickness he'll be a great defender.
 
Every other conference got rid of that rule. The Big East should follow suit.
Understand the rule - but nice guys often finish last in NCAA hoops! Now the playing field is uneven with all the other conferences allowing it. Get rid of the rule, Big East!
 
I don’t think kadary needs to hear he’d be the unquestioned starter here I think he needs to know that if he’s the best player he will get the minutes he deserves. That’s the issue he had at Syracuse he thought he outplayed the starter but it didn’t matter. I see no reason why hurley wouldn’t give the minutes to who earns them. Great kids aren’t afraid to compete they just want it to be fair.
