2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

[speckle]

If he commits, he’s Klay Thompson but a better shooter & even more 2 way upside than Thompson had.

Guys, puff, puff pass. He is not Klay Thompson, an all NBA defender, and somehow he has even less in common with Castle. He's a nice High School shooting prospect. We're sounding Kentucky right here lol

 

[Agent0]

Took me a while to get there, but it just dawned on me: Daniel Hamilton.

He doesn’t have the play making ability that Hamilton had imo

 

[ec33]

I don’t see why he couldn’t play the 2.

Defense assignments could be a problem.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I think after the parade tomorrow the 2025 roster will be clearer and things will start to move with recruits and portal.

And Danny couldn’t shoot like this. If he was close he would’ve had more than a cup of coffee but he wasn’t a good shooter at all. I remember a stretch in his last year as a Husky he was shooting in the 30% area for a long time. It’s too bad.

Dan Hamilton an all-time "what if" for us

 

[UConnSwag11]

Anything that he "can't" or "doesn't" do now, he's going to be able to after being under Hurley and staff for a year-plus

You'll never get a wink out of me again. Even for McNeeley.

If McNeeley doesn’t come to UConn:

 

[Marat]

I'm not sure the wink will ever be deployed in this NIL era. Matrim got (so unfairly) criticized after Timberlake flipped to Kansas at the last moment, and I thought Matrim indicated that "the wink" was going to be mothballed.

Speaking of Timberlake, man that miss was so important for our championship. Without Camm, I don't know about #6.

 

[aburks41]

Hope we get a visit. Apparently Arkansas and Alabama are pretty solidly in the mix.

2 things scare me here.

1) Tyson chicken man
2) Rylan Griffin just unexpectedly left Bama so now they have a clear opening for McNeeley.

And then theres also Bill Self and Adidas waiting in the dark to drop a bag at the 23rd hour.

Nah. No one can ever take that title from Matt Jones of KSR. His whole facade of being a Kentucky insider was smashed 19 separate times the last 3 days. He will never recover. Matrim is
Nostradamus compared to that dolt .

If only he had claimed to be hanging out with Hurley in Lexington…

if he can be bought then we dont want him. we want guys willing to take less money to come to UConn. like Hurley just did.

 

[Sibeerian]

that's exactly right - Hurley has two incredible proof points for his pitch. One is what you just mentioned - he personally took less money for the right reasons. The other is the Stephon Castle example. You can win, become better and reach the next level when you put the team first and not yourself.

Selfish? Want the biggest bag of cash? UConn isn't for you.

 

[August_West]

If only he had claimed to be hanging out with Hurley in Lexington…

In all seriousness it was an incredible masterclass in “how you can ruin your career brand in 72 hours” . Even the mentally feeble Kentucky fans who couldn’t spell the word “ Cat” even if you spotted them the C and the T caught on to the fact that he has just been making crap up for a decade.

I'd take Rylan over McNeeley if we want a 3peat.

Heard on WFAN this morning that the Tyson chicken man is providing Arkansas with 10 million in NIL and Jerry Jones is chipping in to add to that. That’s diabolical

So basically, they want to emulate what Cal did at UK? Spend $$$$ on a team full of 5-stars and maybe get to the Final 4 if not getting bounced early? Whatever, have at it.

They also, I believe, literally do not have a roster. So they need to buy an entire team.

 

[scotty0330]

Just bear in mind things change RAPIDLY in the NIL era. Nothing is done until the kid’s on the campus getting his @$$ kicked in practice.

Preach. Yes, things were fluid before. Add cash to mix and it’s New England weather…can change that fast

What could go wrong?
