Liam could be like that chick you asked to the prom and she responds "I have to see, I'll get back to you."
If she says yes, fine, but start asking other babes in the meantime.

National media is really sleeping on Stewart. I'll be pretty surprised if he doesn't start.

He has all the makings to make a gigantic leap this summer; he has the size , athleticism, and the natural FEEL for the game. Sure he wasn't as elite as castle as a defender , but the potential is just obvious with him. Plus looking back at his pedigree killing it in HS just my opinion

If it's him vs McNeeley for the starting 3 spot, those 2 will have a battle all summer long for minutes. Will bd great for their development.

My guess is that, at least to start the season, Stewart starts at the 3 and Alex starts at the 4. If Alex needs to sit, Stewart moves to the 4 and McNeeley comes in. If Stewart needs to sit then McNeeley subs.

The 3-peat talk is getting a little out of control lol. Donovan Clingan was by far the most impactful player in the country this past year and Cam Spencer was by far the most impactful transfer.

We will need to learn how to win close games, no biggie.

Knecht was the most impactful transfer technically

If we have Karaban, McNeeley, and Brea the three-peat talk will be pretty loud and deservedly so. If we have Karaban, McNeeley, Brea, and Mahaney the three-peat talk will be blaring.

We just have to wait and see how things shake out because we don't officially have any of them at the moment.
 
A Karaban/Stewart/McNeeley rotation at the 3-4 would be pretty amazing and a good launch for the next final four run. Each has strengths that will match well against different opponents and there are 80 minutes to share. Alex would likely play 30 and the other two 25 mpg. Combine that with the Johnson/Reed rotation and we have our frontline pretty well sewn up. Lots of flexibility.

Replace those names with sanogo, Jackson, and Hawkins and this seems like a post that was made 12 months ago

Well Clingan, Netwon, and Karaban returned. Clingan could have been great as a freshman, he just had a better player in his way. Not really the same situation at all IMO

Hey I hope you are right, I just think Clingan's impact cannot be overstated. Even with all the other great pieces we had, we were a different team when he was out/not on the floor

Karaban can return, Diarra can return, Stewart is the Clingan in this comparison, ball is back, and then you add another 5*, and 3 top 15 transfers? Why isn’t it the same?

No team has the exact same make up. But we’d be one of the top 5 teams in the country. Maybe #1

My take is we kept the coaching staff intact. That constant is really the salient consideration for potential.

I'd love to see a documentary someday on how these recruiting visits all unfold. Do we give recruits deadlines to decide? Do we have a "draft list" and contact players specific we want. Wild West.

Inquiring minds want to know.

lol i appreciate your optimism but this comment is ruined when you say that Stewart could/will explode to the level that Clingan did.

They called me crazy when I said Stewart would be in the rotation as well.

He doesn’t have to explode to “the level that Clingan did”.

They obviously play different positions but I think Stewart can have a massive breakout season, especially on the offensive end. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he averages 15-16 points per game next season.

To three-peat, someone will likely have to because Clingan was the #1 most important player in the entire country this year.

This isn’t true. There is no one type of roster that can win a championship. If that were the case no one is winning next year because no one has Clingan. Terrible logic

I agree and disagree. Edey was the #1 most important and 2 was DC. But yeah without DC UConn is gonna have to do things differently defensively.

You act like a player like clingan grow on trees and every other team in the country has a player like him.
