2021 Recruiting: Landers Nolley

[mauconnfan]

24 pages and he's only down to his top 11. This thread could have an impressive page total before it's all over. Kids name sounds like a law firm to me.

With the potential impact players available unless there is a real confidence in him coming I just can't see them waiting for his decision. 10% chance he ever plays for UConn. Would love to see him in the uni but as you say only sown to 11?

Oh this couldn't touch the Hamidou Diallo one. That one almost beat the beer and pizza ones.

best athlete/law firm name goes to BenJarvis Green-Ellis of the patriots aka "the law firm"

Considering what we are all going through with Covid 24 pages on anything makes sense to me. @mauconnfan I don't follow recruiting close enough to add value but after two years it's "In Dan I Trust" for me. I think he has shown recruits the potential of playing at UConn for him. So, as much as I might like one recruit over another I'm going to trust that Dan Hurley brings in the kids that he wants to play for the Huskies.

The new ignore feature is making it tough to read these threads. Finally figured out why people seem to be talking to themselves all the time

Congrats to Hami. The reclassification talk has died down significantly but this shows it's possible. Awesome picture:

144 pages. At the time it was more than both the pizza and beer threads but is now a little short. It's gotta be a record for a recruiting thread.

He is a terrible match for our style of play. He’s slow and can’t hedge on screens and recover quickly. it will be interesting to see how much Javonte Brown Ferguson plays. I’m a bit surprised he came back.

I understand people are excited about the play from IW late last year. But he showed no ability to defend the true post players we faced. Vogt manhandled him and so did igbanu. He was very disruptive on D, yes, but mostly that was his great work disrupting screens and switching. For us he’s a 5 on offense and a 4 on defense. I don’t think we can or should play him as our only big except where that’s a good situational matchup.

Point being, Nolley isn’t going to want to be the “second big”. It’s a role he is transferring out of. He’s going to want to be a wing.

This is just a hunch, but I’ll bet we will see Whaley as a much better shooter next year. He is the type to work on it hard, and his foundation mechanics are pretty sound.

I believe this is why hurley let him take all those mid-range shots this year. He has decent mechanics. Those reps could help him extend to the arc next year

The pizza thread is at 175ish and keeps going, inherent advantage.

yup said "UConn is in good shape with a lot of these transfers ESPECIALLY Landers Nolley"

 

[KingAG]

I like our chances

Vaughn and Nolley in the next couple of days will make quite the party in isolation

We've been hearing for a while from multiple sources we were recruiting one more big and perimeter player. Where else did you think the room for a big was coming from? No one may have known this was coming but no one should be surprised by it either

That would be the biggest Uconn team in recent memory. 7’1/6’11/6’10/6’9/6’9/6’8/6’7/6’7/6’6/6’4/6’4/6’3/6’1 SHEESH

Big, versatile, and talented

I absolutely cannot wait for next season

Hearing more and more positive talk about Nolley and uconn.

FYI For fun I looked back at the Boneyard thread in 2017 when we were recruiting Nolley the first time coming out of high school in the 2018 class (#67). You may remember Nolley was the recruit that announced the teams that were recruiting him in 'brackets' like the NCAA tournament, and kept cutting the list like rounds of the tourney. I thought that might jog some memories. Writing was small but I think we beat Iowa St in round 1 which I think was essentially a sweet 16.

How significant is being in good shape in a recruitment that the kid seems like he’s going to drag out for months. If he liked us that much wouldn’t a commitment be more imminent?
