2021 Recruiting: Landers Nolley

[navery12]

Let’s say we get Nolley, which seems likely at a minimum. Then it’s something like:

PG: Cole 30, Gaffney 10

SG: Bouknight 20, Adams 15, Gaffney 5

SF: Jackson 20, Bouknight 10, Nolley 10

PF: Nolley 15, Polley 15, Springs 10

C: Whaley 25, Carlton 10, Ferguson 5

Where does Martin fit in that equation? There’s literally not a single guy I could see him taking minutes from with that depth.

I don't see Javonte Brown Ferguson, Adams or Springs getting nearly as many minutes as you have. In your scenario I'd give Martin his 15 minutes with 5 less from each of those 3

I would bet that Jalen gets more that 15 mpg

Maybe you know more than me, but I think Adams and Springs are both better players than Martin. Adams’ perimeter defense alone will get him on the court.

I agree with Adams defense getting him minutes, that's why I tried to keep him in there. Martin averaged 13 and 7 last year, Adams averaged 7 and 2. Similar SOS, and similar usage %. I don't even think it's a conversation between the 2

What makes them better than Martin? You haven't even seen Springs play in college.

Adams I think is more composed, plays smarter, plays harder, and plays great defense.

Springs I’ve seen play in HS plenty of times. They are completely different players. Springs will be the far superior rebounder, which I think will be his purpose on this team.

Well Hurleys pitch to nolley was 30 minutes on the ball. I think jackson gets 20 between the 2-3 and starts on the bench.

We get that you don’t like Martin because your friend told you not to. Can you stop saying the same over and over

Martin has been a more successful college player than Adams so far, and you're certainly putting a ton of faith in Springs in his first season playing in college. Martin rebounds just as good as Vital who we all went crazy over because of his superior rebounding here.

You had Dimencio Vaughn in your starting lineup, I really don't see where you're coming from.

 

[Bonk]

Didn't Weingarten say Landers just took a virtual visit to Ole Miss and is planning one to UConn soon? With Vaughn at Ole Miss that presumably knocks out another contender for Nolley.

I want players who I think will get us back to national prominence. Is this guy one of them? Also several other reliable posters have said stay far away. I don’t think that’s something to ignore

I had Vaughn in my starting lineup because a few top guys said he was coming here. That wasn’t right, oh well. Also, he’s had a moderately successfully 2 years at URI. UConn is not URI. Martin is a 3. He’s not taking minutes from Bouknight, Jackson, and hopefully Nolley at the 3.

The 2 aren't even comparable from a production standpoint. Even if you like the way Adams projects, he wasn't very good last year.

In his tweet about Vaughn he said they're still in on Nolley

URI is a lot closer to being UConn than Rider is.

Jake doesn't know squat. I say it all the time. Please stop listening to him. Guys on the Yard truly know more than him

 

[bendm]

What would be Martin’s role on this team? Serious question, just trying to get a gauge.

they both fill the "big guard" role hurley has in mind so why wouldnt his role be similar to vaughn's? no need to pigeonhole him as a SF when he can play either spot on the wing.

edit- i had vaughn in the starting lineup too but i think i'd prefer having martin for 2 years instead of 1

I’m just asking for someone to tell me where on the depth chart Martin would fit in and what role he’d play. So you’re saying he’s a 3/4. That means his competition for minutes are Bouk, Jackson, Polley, Whaley, and Springs.

Also, disagree on the second point. I’d rather have Vaughn for 1 year and recruit an elite freshman for 2021.

 

[Husky15]

I’m hoping the Vaughn news means Hurley feels confident about Nolley and is holding out on getting an impact big like Sanogo later in the process.

People have been telling you, you just don't like the answer they're giving

He was good a lot but he was up and down. This kid looks like he could be better though. Long athletic and rebounds the ball. Hurley knows let’s see what he does.

 

[Hungryhusky99]

Not great news.

 

[Husky15]

Not great news.

That would be tough for Nolley. In that case he would most likely lose a year of eligibility since he already redshirted right?

 

[HooperScooper]

Not great news.

Corey Evans from Rivals said the same thing today.

 

[JimHurley]

He’s not taking minutes from any of the players on the roster who play the 2-4 position. Why would I not want a guy who would give us some production? I just don’t think that he’d do that here.

it's a moot point. if the transfer rule wouldnt go into effect until 2021 we cant take nolley and martin
