Mahaney Visiting UConn this weekend

[Iluvsuebird]

Yep
Mahaney will be Cam Jr

This is so unfair. Cam cannot be duplicated. The kid can be good and still be miles away from Cam. Let’s not set him up for failure before he even commits.

Get Mahaney. Get McNeeley. Run it back for the three-peat.

And if Karaban comes back then we have the best roster in the country and it wouldn't even be close

Don’t love McNeeley potentially taking other visits but I certainly would take advantage of playing the field if I was him.

Wish it was the done deal some said it likely was.

This would be ideal. I am a bit nervous about Liam at the moment, with the possibility of him going on other visits, but I think we still have a great shot at him. For Mahaney, I think our main competition Is Creighton. I think that would be a pretty easy pitch. Just say Creighton has choked and hasn‘t made the final 4 recently, never mind won 2 national championships. Karaban is a wild card though. I could see him coming back and going for the tree-peat, but it is just so hard to say since the draft people are probably super excited about him.

I would say this roster would be the top in the league adding these two plus the return of Alex. With health and a little luck, a 3-peat would be on the table.

Diarra
Mahaney
McNeeley
Karaban
Reed

Stewart
Norwell
Ball
Johnson
Abraham

That roster would almost be unfair. The bench itself would be a top 25 team

It's nice knowing that even if this years team ends up being 13 points worse than last year we still win every single tourney game.

Why is is it a problem with Duke making everybody happy? You think Ball or Stewart are going to be happy riding the pine? Not gonna happen!

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

I just wanted Maliq Brown and I'm bitter. And I don't think he competes with Flagg for minutes positionally. Sorry for dragging this thread way the hell off topic.

I do like Mahaney, but I can also see it pissing Diarra off, even though a 4th ball handler from somewhere on the court is needed.

I did not want Maliq Brown one bit. He had a few attention grabbing highlights and on the surface gave a bunch of effort. But in the few (boring) games I watched of Syracuse, he was standing around on offense not hunting the ball at all. And on defense was even worse, most notably he didn’t give a lick about boxing out, like at all.

Sure Hurley could’ve (and would’ve) changed a lot of that, but apparently there was some attitude issues there as well. Maybe it was just the games I watched, but I’m really happy he didn’t come here.

And Ross still can't get any playing time.

What did we have on the roster that brought us championships? Experience. Newton and Cam had tons of it. AK was wise beyond his years. Add in a 5 star Castle.
McNeeley would be great but we need experience at the guard and forward. We will have it at center with Reed, but AK staying would be a very big deal. And of course Hass.

 

[Scrutineer]

My gut says it's one of Brea or Mahaney, not both. That would be A LOT of wings on the roster.

This will probably be the only time I ever say I'd prefer someone over a 49% 3pt shooter, but I see a lot of Cam in Mahaney and I want that on the roster. Brea feels a bit redundant if the McNeeley rumors are true, and he's likely asking for a BAG of NIL considering his list.

If I had to bet it seems like it'll be Brea to Duke. They're trying to rescue Scheyer and he needs shooters and experience so the large safe door is probably swinging open as we speak..........

Interesting how the whole college basketball world is focused on the Hurley method. Get some 5 star(s), get some 3's and 4's and develop them, and get some portal guys to fill in.

The problem for the rest of them is we have Dan Hurley, KY, TM and LM and they don't..............

 

[David 76]

Hope so. I already have Ball pencilled in for a bunch of minutes, in my mind maybe including the 3 spot, due to his length and athleticism. We are losing so many guard rebounds he might have the best path to cover some of that hole. If I'm being honest, I'd like our 4th on ball guy to be out at the 3, like Dell'Orso or Derkack could've punched that ticket nicely imo.

Storrs Central posted about good news soon and then this emerged.... so maybe?
