I think we land McNeeley and Brea and Hurley just figures out how to make it work later

That would be quite a portal haul. Don't know that it would be a championship roster, but it would be an exciting team to watch.

Anything besides a hunch? Not in a bad way because i’m sorta envious about it, but you seem to always be quite confident.

i'm guessing staff is selling Liam on being the next 5* one and done like Castle, but like others have said, Brea has never been a starter, so hopefully he would be happy with some NIL and the 6th man role on a team going for a 3peat

If Davis comes back it might. They have Jackson and Powell coming in. Potentially Cade Tyson.

With McNeeley I’ve heard things. With Brea it’s just a hunch.

I’m definitely no insider though so don’t take my word.

According to Norlander, Davis is coming back as well

Gotcha, was genuinely just curious. I thought it would be one or another based on our depth at wing, but I have literally 0 inside info so…

 

[auror]

According to Norlander, Davis is coming back as well

So they have:

Cadeau
RJ Davis / Trimble / Jackson (5* top 10)
(Cade Tyson visited this weekend, Branham crystal ball) / Powell (5* top 12)

I don't see any minutes for Brea, assuming Tyson comes in.

one more rotation projection for good luck:

Diarra 25 / Nowell 15
Brea 25 / Ball 15
McNeeley 25 / Stewart 10 / Ball 5
Karaban 30 / Stewart 10
Reed 20 / Johnson 20

30: Karaban
25: Diarra / Brea / McNeeley
20: Ball / Stewart / Reed / Johnson
15: Nowell

now this is a 9 man rotation. i was thinking Mahaney would be a better fit than Brea since he'd give us a third ball handler but we beat teams with our passing not ballhandling. all else equal i'll take Brea over Mahaney. stairway to 7.

Though he seems to have his pick of schools to choose from, UConn may have a leg up in the race to land Brea simply because of where he’s from. The Washington Heights, N.Y., native played high school basketball at Monsignor Scanlan, a private school in the Bronx, and a large contingent of fans followed him to road games in the Atlantic 10, according to Dayton Daily News men’s basketball reporter David Jablonski.

“If I had to pick one of those five schools, I would think he’ll go with UConn, everything else being equal,” Jablonski told The Courant on Tuesday. “His family and friends were a big traveling party to so many of his games on the East Coast. Huge crowds at Fordham, La Salle, they go everywhere to see Koby play. If he can land at UConn, I’m sure a lot of people will support that.”

Mahaney is also a better passer than Brea.

Don’t think we should assume AK is back with the latest rankings and mock drafts that have come out. Feels like an Andre situation.

Dont think Hurley makes those kind of pitches. He promises the process, not the result.

Yeah the recruiting of McNeeley and brea/mahaney definitely feels like the staff is preparing for him to not be back, since If two of those three commit, the only way Ross gets minutes is if AK isn’t back

Brea, wasnt a starter for Dayton. Dont think hes a starter for us either. Jayden Ross would like to have a word with you too.

Yeah, I can see him getting a promise in the early 30s. Plus, his value can rise if he light it up at the NBA combine next month.

He played 29 minutes per game.

 

[hardcorehusky]

Spoke with a colleague who is a big Dayton guy. They lost their point guard early in the season and needed to add ballhandling into the starting line up. That is why Brea came off the bench. He played a lot anyway, but I wouldn't worry about why he did not start.

 

[giddyup]

In my infinite wisdom, I’ve decided that Hurley has earned the right to make decisions over my backseat judgment. Just let Danny do his thing.

 

[superjohn]

I promise from an NBA team is meaningless.

 

[bendm]

I’ve heard him describe the pitch he made to castle in countless interviews. Come to UConn where you can be part of a winning program and get drafted. A win-win.

AK is never coming back! Never!

 

[Fan1978]

I think he is hone, get brea, McNeeley and mahaney
