Maluach before McNeeley is hogwash - this sponsored by Coach K?Not sure where to put this but this thread seems appropriate. 247Sports re-ranked the 2024 class based on what they've shown so far in college. Adam Finkelstein wrote the article so not surprised he understands what is going on at UConn.
No. 9: Liam McNeeley, Connecticut Huskies
Final 247Sports High School Ranking: No. 10
Current Stats: 13.5 pts, 5.8 reb, 2.6 ast, 0.4 blk, 0.4 stl, 43% FG, 38% 3pt, 85% FT
Liam McNeeley has been out since Jan. 1 with an ankle injury. His numbers prior to the injury were good, but the true measure of his impact is in watching this UConn team play without him. Initially, the Huskies lost 3 of their first 5 games without him. Also, McNeeley is so much more than just a shooter. He's an elite competitor who has the feel for the game and can make good reads. He puts more pressure on the rim than advertised. Even defensively. There were times when he was targeted on that end, but UConn's defense has been notably better with him on the floor.
