Fland is not coming to UConn. Not with Castle coming in.

I don’t know if we have any chance with Fland, but seeing as Castle is 2023 and Fland is 2024, there’s no reason both guys couldn’t come here. Castle sounds like he has a shot at being one and done. And with Castle’s size and versatility, I bet he could play alongside another point guard.

UNC was also considered a top suitor for Fland but just had a five star 2024 PG commit last week, so that can only help

Using the same logic based on your comment... Why is UConn recruiting all three of them with Castle coming in? For starters ..They're all 2024 recruits.. No idea if Castle is a one or two year guy .. BTW.. Castle can play with a combination of guards and wings due to his versatility..

Will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Hope you don't think Kimani is wasting his time recruiting Fland?

Fair enough. Never say never. I just don't think UConn can guarantee Castle won't be here a 2nd year before Fland commits. Could they play together? Sure. Just try convincing Fland that.

I think our system shows we can have multiple guards who have the ball in their hands a lot. Jackson and Newton both run the offense a good amount.

To be honest, although I’ve only seen a little bit of Castle, I like the idea of him as a creator on the wing with another PG in the fold. Sort of a better shooting Daniel Hamilton, who can attack a broken down defense rather than always be the guy doing the breaking down. Or to borrow from the other board, Paige Bueckers is a natural point guard, but played the wing when healthy and Nika Muhl handled PG duties and it made them a little less predictable. She could also look to score without it bogging down the offense.

But I could be wrong, and Castle might simply be better suited as the clear point guard.

Agree with your points. With that being said, unless we grab a pure PG from the portal, Castle is our guy at the 1 next year. If he were on the team right now he already may be the starter.

Heck they can split time at the point like AS and DC so at he 5. Boogie would be fine with a 33/7 per gam split his freshman year:eek:
 
If he knows what’s best for him he’ll want to go up against a prototypical new age NBA PG every day in practice. Most kids would shy away. Totally dependent on just how good SC does year 1. SC could also easily slide over to the 2 and showcase his versatility and shot making.

Was told he's in the mold of Solo Ball yesterday by a NEPSAC coach I know. Good size, tough, great athlete and defender.

Big question is going to be shooting. He isn't a good shooter now.

Expect Tom to be lead recruiter

If he’s not a good shooter then who cares

I'm not really sure what you mean, but he seems to have improved this year at Worcester. Making multiple 3s per game now.

That was from before hs season. Talked to people who said he's improving last week.

I still don't know what you mean by this:

Are you saying don't recruit him?
 
It’s hard to care a ton about a recruit two years away from suiting up, especially before summer AAU between junior and senior year where talent is usually found. It appears he will be about the 21st recruit in the top 125 (on 247) to commit in 2024, so still super early.

Seems UConn got in late on a fast recruitment, but congrats PC. Hope the commit sticks, seems like a good hard nosed player at the least, with the potential to be better.

The only player I kind of care about right now in 2024 is Betsey and mostly because he is from CT and a shooter.

No, I’m saying that I’m not going to get too hung up on losing a recruit that isn’t a good shooter when we have better targets. Pettiford is a better player, I want him

Yes on Betsey. Great shooter, and maybe much more!
Hopefully he thinks about UConn for his overall development, plus his family could see him play and win championships!

Lurking in the background is the biggest hype school and it would be great if he doesn't need the affirmation they offer. They've recently sent coaches to see him multiple times and we seemed to be on him later than a number of schools.

From a recruiting story: "Duke's 2024 offer sheet currently consists of Bryson Tucker and six other undecided prospects: five-star combo guard Dylan Harper, five-star shooting guard Tre Johnson, five-star small forward Naas Cunningham, five-star small forward Carter Bryant, four-star small forward Tyler Betsey, and four-star center James Brown."

Not disagreeing, but playing devils advocate here. I’ve been hyped about Castle for a LONG time now

Can't help wondering if Clark Kellog's 20 minute puff piece on Cooley combined with the broadcasters (DM) fawning over his greatness during the UConn game helped Mulready make his decision to pick Providence........

Players are allowed to pick a school other than UConn. It doesn't make them bad kids and it doesn't mean something nefarious happened. If that happened, good for Providence. I'm sure we will be ok.
