Kadary Richmond Transferring

Personally only think we have room for one more guard and staff is prioritizing Locke. Cole, Sool, Gaff, Hawkins and Locke is a pretty solid backcourt IMO. Do others think we could/would take on Richmond+Locke?

Yes if if it happens you make it work

He shot 36% this year. He upped his percentage 10 points. He can absolutely improve that another few percentage points. This isn't like Martin where his numbers over 3 years have been roughly flat.

Cole shot 38% from 3.

Those two are the equivalent of the 2nd and 3rd best shooters from Creighton. (Ballock & Mitchell)

Hawkins is coming in with a rep for shooting.

You'd obviously like there to be someone—or two—players up in the 40% range, but you can be a very good team with your third best shooter shooting at Gaffney's percentage.

Maybe. Gaffney averaged under 20 minutes a game so is that enough playing time to qualify someone as your #3 shooter?

Do we know -- either as fact or with good intuitive sourcing -- that we are "out of the running" for Richmond? Seems like a lot of supposition here?

It's all speculation, there hasn't been a ton out there in terms of who's he's zooming with or seriously considering. But we never seem to get that surprise out of nowhere commit, so I don't have my hopes up here
 
I can say definitively that KR is considering his options and those on his list, including UConn, are very much in, or out, of the running at this time. Got this from the Dam Buster himself................

What does "legitimately linked with" mean? We've reached out to at least a half dozen other transfers, including Yetna, Marreon Jackson, Tre Mitchell, Rocket Watts, and CJ Felder:

the broadest definition possible for now ie reaching out to a BE level talent.

can add yetna, jackson, watts, and felder to the list.

that article doesnt say weve actually reached out to mitchell, carr, or rahim just that we might

Here's the latest I have, don't think I've missed anyone

I’d be real disappointed if it was Collins or Lundy. Staff killed it last spring so hopeful.

worry they are loyal to guys who aren’t getting us past the first weekend if that far.

yeah we all want locke, kadary and yetna but what if it's kolek, collins, and lundy?

That’s why I didn’t list Carr or Rahim. I listed Mitchell because we obviously have a very significant history with him and I believe we have reached out but that’s second hand info

stretch 4 potential?

almost 40% from 3 as a frosh but on low volume
32% last year but over 80% from the line

Yeah I think Lundy fills a lot of 3/4 minutes that we have a hole at. 60 minutes between Martin/Jackson/Lundy at the 3/4 is what I'm hoping for

the other 20 to akok?
that would roughly break down frontcourt rotation as:
SF- aj (20) martin (20)
PF- akok (20) lundy (20)
C- sanogo (30) johnson (10)

Yeah I like his stroke more than the 32% would indicate, and if you watch any tape on him, you’d see pretty quickly he has a lot more touch than our forwards showed this year (excluding Polley). He’d be a nice complimentary piece IMO.

To put it simply: He lacks what we have a lot of and has something we’re missing.

I was pretty down on Lundy initially just because of the drop in 3P% this season, but on second look, he dropped 32 on NCAA Tourney team VCU, 31 v. Maryland, 26 v. Ohio State, and 23 v. Seton Hall and did so efficiently this season.

Only two guys on UConn this season scored that much in general (Bouk / Polley) and only one of those guys did it against a NCAA Tournament team.

From looking at each of his box scores, it looks like he was peaking in December / January and then almost fell out of favor for one reason or another in February.

There could really be something here but I am curious how his production dropped off so much that he basically became Polley by the end of the year (multiple games of 15-18 minutes and <5 points).
 
There would be a lot of great reasons to get Richmond, but the best might be that Syracuse fans said they wanted him over AJ anyways when AJ decided to come to UConn and they got Richmond as a result.

If we ultimately end up with both, it would be hilarious.

Either way, Syracuse won’t have either on their roster next season 😂

I think either Hawkins will play the 3 sometimes, or we’ll be using some three-guard lineups. AJ and Martin seems almost certain to play the 4 at times.

Yeah I’m not gonna front, that is 100% a factor for me.

But then I realize he’d be the best creator on the roster as well, and he wasn’t awful from 3 last year either.
