Liam McNeeley Practice Highlights

[Chin Diesel]

Yikes!!

Clip was only 43 seconds long. Most of these other clips of individual players were 44 or 45 seconds long. Hopefully he works hard and improves his game to do well enough to get a highlight reel as long as some of the other players.

I just don’t see how that’s possible anymore.

I understand...... but I do. Mahaney has 2 years. As Hurley said, he's gotten over the initial shock of practice, but that doesn't mean he's "game ready". Diarra is GAME READY! And I'm a fan of Diarra! That's it.

Castle was comfortable day 1. Just wasn’t a shooter. They aren’t comparable players regardless.

Kid had 17 points in his second collegiate game. He’s thinking of Castle post injury where there’s obvious rust.

Mahaney is game ready. If Diarra is starting, which I still don't see happening, then Mahaney is also starting alongside him

That’s my take as well. It’s Diarra or a breakout sophomore wing.

If diarra is starting than either stew or Liam are coming off the bench not Mahaney

It's entirely possible these five start.

It's also entirely possible a different five start.

 

[Bboy Lace]

I guess we'll see soon enough.

 

[TribecaHusk]

I hope he is great but every time I see him with the head band on I think of Christian Laettner which is very disturbing

Try to think Cliff Robinson instead!

 

[Dogfish]

For obvious reasons we've all been able to get past hating the Hurley name. But Laettner.......never.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Starting in college basketball doesn't mean as much as 'starting' in other sports. I know, we all know this, but it makes it completely possible for Hass to start.
Also, it's not like we give up big runs or fail to score when he's out there-it's the opposite. There is no liability to that dudes game.

Either way, we're in good shape. This staff has no loyalty when it comes to lineups.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I think this kid may have a future in basketball if he decides to stick with it.

 

[my2cents]

Love the finishes with the off hand.

 

[Palatine]

I have my suspicions that the videos they are releasing this week are not random. Mahaney, McNeeley, Stewart, ?, Johnson. If Karaban gets highlights tomorrow...

I noticed they are not alphabetical. Something is definitely fishy.

Preach brother.

Picking nits, but I don't see any scenario where AK is healthy and doesn't start.

 

[giddyup]

With some reps over at my driveway hoop he should be solid.. lol..dude can ball

 

[Palatine]

Who Hurley puts in for the last five minutes is way more important than who Hurley puts in for the first five minutes.

A few years back Hurley started Sanogo and often those were the only minutes he played the whole game. But it was a great way to accelerate his development.

However, I expect Diarra to start because he understands the offense. In fact I expect most of the starters to be returners for the same reason. Also starting Diarra sends the message that you have to play defense if you want to see the floor.

We have too many players I want to start. I want Stew, AK, Liam, Diarra, Mahaney, SJ, and Reed to start.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I know they’re highlights, but all the handles he showed off make me think starting shooting guard.

He looks like a bigger version of Cam Spencer. He could absolutely play the 2 in a big lineup alongside Stewart and Karaban. The depth and versatility of this team, especially on offense, is going to make it hard for opponents to match up.

Unlike last year's team where we had our base lineup and fairly straightforward substitutions, and we just brutalized opponents by running different variations of the same actions, the coaches will be able to dial up many different looks (and may have to). An interesting challenge.

i'm talking about probability not possibility and mahaney is the most likely to start after AK

McNeeley is a lock to start, he's our most talented player.

 

[bendm]

McNeeley is a lock to start, he's our most talented player.

I had him 3rd most likely to start but not opposed to 2a and 2b with mahaney

 

[Huskyforlife]

McNeeley is a lock to start, he's our most talented player.

The only projected top 10 pick on the team is gonna start.
