After watching this game and thinking almost everyone looked really good, I realized I might not be the greatest talent evaluater lmao. But he was the leader of the team, they beat Nightrydas in double overtime. He plays more of a shooting guard. I saw him directing and leading the team throughout the game. Dropped 25.
Hurley can clearly sell UCONN is not about the $$ it’s about Championships. The guy turned down what is reportedly the largest contract per year for any head coach anywhere!
This is so true overall that you don’t need to embellish the point. Naheim was the first man off the bench almost every game the 22-23 season. There is no universe where he was an end of the bench schollie.
Is this the game you watched?

2. Five-Star Plus+ Meleek Thomas
Night one, Meleek Thomas provided the fireworks. The 6-foot-3 guard made play after play leading his New Heights Lightning team to a double-overtime win over defending Peach Jam champion Nightrydas. Thomas was pure electricity, using a jet-quick first step to live in the paint where he was able to distribute or finish with touch. He guarded the ball well, using quick hands and a tenacious mentality. Thomas finished with a game-high 25 points. But it was the pressure he put on the opposing team’s defense, and at the point of attack that opened things up for his teammates.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a billionaire squabble over $30 ante in our men’s golf pool!
And you know this because you personally know how many billionaires? Don’t hate on players for maximizing their income or billionaires. I am sure you maximize your income. I personally know 1 billionaire and he is the most generous, kind, thoughtful person i know.
And be a National Champion
Which one? They all basically say that Thomas wants to visit UConn and Arkansas. UConn some time in June.
That’s what the beauty of the landscape is now. If he comes then he’s a real keeper. If he doesn’t then it wasn’t the right fit. Not every pairing is meant to be a marriage. The right kids will see the value and want to be here.
As noted, if he is looking for a check first and foremost (which is his right), good luck to him elsewhere.
As an Eagles fan, I now have a college basketball reason to hate Jerry Jones. Strange happenings. Mind you, the stinking Cowboys had to bring Ezekiel Elliot back because Jerry is focused on Arkansas basketball.
Completely agree. Dan Hurley not going to sell out the culture after all it has produced for anyone. That would be "self defeating behavior." If he or any other one year wonder was so great they'd only be here for one year anyway. Our program from top to bottom sells itself. There are no plastic used car banners hanging in Storrs.
I saw another article on AJ Dybantsa this morning where he talks about how he got a Duke offer and a Kentucky offer and he was happy to get all the blue bloods to offer. No mention of UConn again. I obviously don't know what the story is but I'm going to guess that UConn decided not to recruit him any farther because there was something they decided didn't fit. We just have to trust Hurley with recruiting. He has a plan and he's sticking to it.
