Geez, We got Bouknight his first choice. Akok his first choice. Gaffney his first choice. Jackson his first choice. Martin is a very good player.

If you can't see we're taking the next step, look harder.

Click on his profile and read his recent post history. You'll have to scroll pretty far to find a positive UConn post
 
I’ll take Martin and Sanogo in a heartbeat over Martin and Nolley. That guy is a beast down low and the big guard/wing is covered with Martin now in the fold. Tough to wait and try to get Nolley and Sanogo.

Yeah and people post more negative yelp reviews than positive ones.

What’s your point?

Was excited to be in on a big time, program advancing transfer like Nolley and then the wind gets taken out of the sails with the wing version of Brendan Adams.

He’s not bad, but when you keep getting the Springs and Martins over the Kofis, Cliffs, and Nolleys it’s gonna take you a lot longer to get back to the top.

What’s so bad about that?
 
I thought they vote soon for transfer rule for this upcoming season

To start with, your evaluation of Tyrese Martin

We missed on Kofi and got stuck with Springs.

Seems like Hurley wasn’t confident in landing Nolley so we settle for Martin.

Couldn’t close Cliff in the spring so took Javonte Brown Ferguson

I’m hoping we don’t see the same story play out with Sanogo.

At some point we’re going to have to start getting our top choices in order to take the next step.

These are all good bodies/good gets considering where we’re coming from, but we’re a year or 2 behind where we could be with some of these misses/settles.

That winning consistently point.

UConn will still be missing on kids, even when we're closer to "the top" than we are today.

You're being way too greedy. Simmer down.

You don’t always reel in your first choice. Jackson was a first choice. Bouk was a first choice. Akok was a first choice. If you’re going to knock him in the instances where he landed the backup plan, at least credit him when he lands his priorities.

I love how you are already knocking Springs and he hasn’t played 1 second for us yet. He’ll make you look like a fool.

All I said was he was a second (4th-5th) choice v Kofi. I’ll take any bet you wanna make he wont make me look like a fool and be better than Kofi.

Basketball is a team game but we already have our program advancing coach in Dan Hurley and our program advancing player in James Bouknight. If you're bummed about getting a 13 ppg 7 rebs transfer of which we're going to get the peak 2 years of I don't know what to tell you.

When we had a sinking program with an indifferent coach stuck in the AAC we all should've been b***ing, there is absolutely no reason to now.

Bouknight, Jackson, and Martin at the wing is about as good as it gets.
 
LOOK at Kentucky everyone, they get 5 * players every year and don't get very far into the tournament, HURLEY is creating a TEAM. We have a little ways to go but making sure players have the right mentality, attitude and buy-in will reap major benefits. Remember our first championship, I was very young then but I don't recall us having 5 star players??

Khalid and Richard Hamilton were a 5 star and Macdonald's Kids. That's the first championship. Kemba was 5 star. The other two championships had top 30 players with Ben Gordon 2nd title and Shabazz Napier the 4th.

UConn's best recruits have generally ended up to be their best players. You can have your scrappy 100-200s and hope to find one that fell through the cracks. I'll take the highest rated players.

Back in late January, there was a debate about whether CV was core to the team, vs he basically sucked. After folks pointed out that CV was leading the team in scoring, rebounding, steals and FT%, someone said about CV:

"Some of you folks have some serious issues. Can you not congratulate a kid on his accomplishments and thank him for his heart and hustle without down playing the impact he's had on this program?"

CampCalhoun's response was:

"What accomplishments, what impact?"

He already looks like a fool

What did Illinois ultimately win with one year of Kofi?

I’ll wait.

There’s a good chance we will win more than that with Springs. Just sayin’ .

Agreed, barring injuries and how they translate up a level. But, the Randy under radar thing doesn't generally apply to basketball or even football anymore.

you are overvaluing Nolley. If the goal is championships, most winning teams have 1/2 stars (NBA types) and a bunch of solid role players who know what they’re supposed to do. Seems to me Hurley is building the team the right way. Our star, right now, is Bouknight, we need one more guy to develop into a star level (can consistently get shots they want) player this year and we’ll be fine.

I would have loved to get Nolley but the general overhyping of him on here is crazy. He put up some nice scoring numbers but his ACC TS% was 44.3% on 34/25/77 splits, he averaged 3+ turnovers a game, and had a 83 ORtg/103 DRtg.

It's literally NOT as good as it gets because we could have Nolley who's > Martin.

Right. He should also watch the video of Martin vs. Reddish and see how well Martin played in all facets of the game. Three point shooting, dunks, rebounds, even ball handling and passing which the URI fans said were weaknesses. He had trouble handling Reddish on defense, but is that solely on him or just maybe because Reddish had a top 5 rating for a good reason.

Nolley may very well be better than Martin, but define "could have." The most rational assumption is Nolley spoke to us, we said we have a spot if you commit now but otherwise we're filling it and he said "no thank you, I want more time." So what do you mean "could have?" Is that like "I could have Kaley Coco" because we're both still alive so it's thus possible?
