Liam McNeeley Practice Highlights

[Huskyforlife]

They keep blessing us.

 

[AllHusky]

looks like he can play a little, waddya think?

 

[blackuc]

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

Stop that. Stop that right now!

I love that they only included 1 3-ball. We already know he can shoot. Multiple finishes with both hands and getting downhill--can't complain about that.

 

[Huskyforlife]

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

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

 

[Spaceman213J]

He looks strong. He looks decisive with the ball, which I like.

 

[UConnSwag11]

His shot looks like Bird’s

Larry Bird 2.0

 

[bendm]

Gimme the giant lineup!

Mahaney 20 / Diarra 20
McNeeley 25 / Nowell 10 / Mahaney 5
Stew 10 / Ball 20 / Ross 10
Karaban 25 / Stew 15
Reed 20 / Johnson 20

25: Mahaney / McNeeley / Stew / Karaban
20: Diarra / Ball / Reed / Johnson
10: Nowell / Ross

I think McNeeley will be more game ready on day one that either Castle or Hawkins. This will be a much stronger year for Big East freshman than last year.

 

[TheChamps990411]

link doesnt work. But yeah the kid can flat out ball.

 

[Umami Zen]

He's surrounded by a team of ballers with high BBIQ. Coached by elite coaches. He's gonna kill it

 

[tennmike]

I'm not surprised, but damn, he looks good!

I hate that I had the exact same thought. But it doesn’t feel like something our staff would approve.

But I also wonder if Alex will get a video due to the injury. If it’s Solo or Diarra next, it could just be because there’s less footage of Alex to use.

I like our roster this year. Not worried about summer videos

I need more summer videos. Feed me content. I don’t sit through the mind numbing podcast content that a lot of people do.

Castle was as game ready as they come

 

[Bboy Lace]

Again, Diarra is not coming off the bench. He's starting. Book it!

 

[Son of Robert]

McNeeley looks good for sure, the defense will come.

 

[Bboy Lace]

I like that he doesn't use his right hand when he goes left. He's comfortable enough to use his left when he goes left.

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

 

[Friarsnoop]

Castle improved tremendously as the year went on. McNeeley will be comfortable from day one.

 

[LIuconn]

Quick release!

 

[CardiacAndre7]

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

 

[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.

 

[Bboy Lace]

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.

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.
