Malachi Smith commits to UConn

[Matrim55]

Hell yeah.

Expect us to go after a portal big next.

EDIT: Shouts to the legend Dick Weiss who had it first.

Next year's team won't suffer from the same lack of dynamic ball handlers this year's team did. Love it.

 

[Fatroony5]

Capital Grille does it again. Hurley must have a black card there.

 

[HuskyFich]

Welcome aboard Malachi!

It's nice to feel good about our PG position before the month of April even ends.

Kudos to the staff!

 

[husky99]

This is a key role to fill. Love the idea of these g scraping for time

 

[Jaydumo20]

Welcome Malachi!!! I guess I'll have to celebrate all summer. BOOGIE DOWN!

 

[djct1999]

Dick Weiss had it first!!!!!!

 

[DW1361]

Just happy it is official. Great news.

 

[navery12]

There's still holes to fill, but the one thing that we could not avoid fixing was the PG position and that has been done. Next year's team has a very high floor now

 

[TheHorde]

Dan hates short guards crowd in shambles right now lol

 

[3rdbass]

Hell yeah.

Expect us to go after a portal big next.

Nice now go out and get a forward(Preferably a PF) and a 3rd string BIg man(Behind Reed and Reibe) and we are set.

Gs win chips.

Assuming we still pick up a F transfer starter then either Smith or Mullins are front runner for BE sixth man if the year. That would be 3 in a row for UConn (Diarra and Reed)

Hell yeah.

Technically Kevin Beatss had it first lmao.

 

[MTHusky]

Great get!!, now, let's get AK to come back for 1 more year!

 

[gsmooth]

Welcome aboard to UConn Nation, Malachi

I think we only need a PF if Karaban goes, unless its a 3rd string big body.

[UConNick]

Could not do any better for that important bench role. Pumped for Malachi that he finally gets to suit up for his dream school!

 

[BlueWolf25]

I absolutely love these G pickups. Really really excited about next year’s roster, feels like we have retained/reloaded much better than last year

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Welcome to the club!

Let the spelling butchering of his name commence…

 

[3rdbass]

Some local media finally joined the party.

 

[REB1094]

A strong PG rotation that can score and create for others was priority #1. By April 14th we locked down Silas Demary and Malachi Smith.

HUGE!! Welcome to Storrs!

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Staff did a phenomenal job addressing the PG position in the portal. Two guys that can get into the lane and facilitate, while also being strong catch-and-shoot guys that can play off-ball

 

[KingAG]

We’ll have one of the best backcourts in the country. If AK comes back we’ll have one of the best front courts too.

Palpable Buzz.

 

[controlfade]

PG should not be an issue next season!!!!

 

[Icehawk]

OH, YEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Time to start chuggin' boys!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

A true PG who can hit threes and attack the rim. Excellent fit!

 

[Mister P]

Dan hates short guards crowd in shambles right now lol

I know I’m getting ahead of things and a lot goes on in a years time but, when Smith leaves after next year, I would LOVE a “ short” guard, Deron Rippey Jr, in the 2026 class. Move Silas to the 2 and utilize Adams,Furphy and Demary mainly in the 1&2 and also at the 3.

 

[TheShot1990]

Who wants to butcher his name first to welcome to UConn nation?

 

[EricSD]

It seems very clear the staff learned from the Mahaney experiment and wanted to be sure we had 2 really good PG's. Mission accomplished. Next on to a really good big please! You know the staff is ON IT!!

 

[Umami Zen]

Solidifies our guard rotational talent. Excellent addition for the locker room and for showing the freshmen the ropes. Now let's add some depth to the 4-5 position slots and get to work in June.
