No point portaling just to portal, but if there is a piece out there that is compelling, you have to entertain it. The kid Dent out of UNM is really, really good too.
the players and their parents want it both ways. to be paid like pros but without the higher degree of accountability and scrutiny.
seeing the coaches celebrate when the clock hit 0 was the highlight of the game for me. haven't seen hurley that fired up with a win since the first natty.
And BB returned the favor as they helped assuage our Hockey misery at the XL!
I think a “having their cake and eating it too” GIF is more appropriate. I’m not speculating on transfers out. If there’s a new boneyard rule about not commenting on NIL allocation needs I’ll happily abide by it but I’m certainly not the only one thinking it.
Everything is back to normal in the Galaxy.
He says assuage, I say sausage
How is saying someone's NIL allocation should be taken away not the same as a transfer speculation?
You responded directly to a post calling for him to transfer out and suggested we pull his NIL money. You can play dumb and walk it back if you want, but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...
I haven't followed what potential portal PGs might be out there, but the fact that the staff didn't pull the trigger on a HS PG and they've had some struggles at that position this season, it would seem to point to them planning to find one in the portal who has size, skill and fit. They did that with bringing in Newton. I would not be surprised if they also find a strong, long, versatile and defensive proven player who can defend 1 through 3 if they have a spot and enough NIL. I doubt the NIL money will be an issue, and open spots will work themseves out.
Because basically every UConn player under Hurley gets significantly better each season.
I've had this theory before. Haven't been able to fully workshop it, but I think there is something to be said for having to constantly prep for a game that requires travel even if only an hour and in a bigger gym with completely different sight lines. Sure all teams play away games but UConn is one of the few schools constantly moving from one arena to the next so you can never get too comfortable with how a shot feels in one place.
This isn't close. The argument passes both the objective standard, and the eye ball test. I would rather have Solo take a big shot than Hawk, who could go cold for long stretches. Without Solo, I don't know how many of the last eight games we actually win.
I am not disputing the objective facts that support the case for Solo being the better shooter, but I think it’s worth noting that Hawkins was regarded as the most dangerous 3-point weapon in the country for, as I recall it (could be wrong), the majority of that championship season. Despite his numbers, I’m not under the impression that our opponents have felt as threatened by Solo so far this year. It will be very interesting to see how defenses prepare for him after his performance at Marquette.
stop it. He is a great defender because he makes plays, and because nobody gets passed him. That's talent.
12-13 in FF games. Facts are facts.
Thay have been keying on him because he's basically our only really good scoring option with Liam out. Things should be easier for Solo when Liam is back and Hass is healed up.
