Naheim Alleyne - VT transfer

[tcf15]

Yeah, think this one's going to happen.

 

[auror]

He has two years of eligibility left, but he'll be a senior next year so there's no guarantee he'll be here for two.

For sure, but if him and Stephon are that tight and Stephon doesn't come this year, you have to think there'd be a lot of familial pressure to stay and show him the ropes, especially because he's not likely pro bound (and probably not getting top Europe offers either).

Definitely want to get Castle here asap though, because this relationship just adds 1 more variable that can go wrong if we don't get Castle on campus this offseason.

This is possibly the least stressful visit of all time. Mr. Castle and Mr. Alleyne are doing @Matrim55's job already

 

[6xChamps]

Nahhiem has two years left, so they'd overlap by one either way. But this obviously can't hurt.

By that logic Tyrese and RJ will be on the team next year

Not trying to take shots but Alleyne is not Martin or Cole. Cole was one of the best players in the country this year and Martin has the build and hops to give him a chance at playing in the NBA.

RJ was great but one of the best players in the country? How many players are on your list? Alleyne isn't expected to be Martin or Cole, that's not his role.

Yea I'm with you I'm just saying these guys aren't locks to take their extra year or eligibility, especially as the world opens back up and overseas professional options become more realistic.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Alleyne might want to play with Castle if he doesn’t decide to re class. Won’t be surprised if that’s the deciding factor on his extra year.

 

[CL82]

Yeah, but with AJax and Sanogo already here, he'd be maybe the third-best human being on the team.

He might want to go somewhere where he can clearly be the best human being on the team.

So Syracuse, Duke, Kansas or Louisville? That’s pretty much the low hanging fruit if you want to be sure you are the best person on the team.

 

[mauconnfan]

@Dove is up there checking things out like the ol days?

 

[CL82]

Harder than I thought, but we are far too young and clever

Toora loora, toora loo rye ay
Alleyne, till you score we stand forever

Come on Alleyne, oh I swear (what we need)
Ah come on, UConn winning everything
Break that team's press, Alleyne just hits nets
Ah come on, to UConn Alleyne, please
Our guards all need rest, Alleyne, tell Dan yes
Ah, come on, to UConn Alleyne, please

Nice job!

 

[GHSWolverines]

Speaking of getting Alleyne and Castle together...This sounds like a package (and done) deal

Is she Sool 2.0?

 

[MDHuskFan]

Is she Sool 2.0?

Again. Stacey is a He

 

[CL82]

Agent Castle?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Again. Stacey is a He

We have a long history of awesome UConn PG moms and I for one am ready to admit him as an honorary member of that club despite his gender.

 

[PNolanFan]

This kid seems to be perfect, that being said by my count we are pretty much out of minutes provided him and castle are in. If he signs hope we can find some depth pieces

I'm guessing if him and Castle are both in for this season, we will probably be looking at developmental player that doesn't expect to get many minutes. Whether that's a 2022 freshman or another 2023 reclass

Who's the last lefty we had on the roster not named Antwoine Anderson?

I guess you blocked out the last 2 season's from you head? LOL!

Most advanced metrics do have him up there as one of the best in the country. I do think it’s a bit odd because he wasn’t really good in shooting % from any distance, but I think the complete lack of any competent backup gave his BPM stuff a boost.

 

[mauconnfan]

Donnell Beverly prior to that?

Ahhh yeah.. I've heard intense trauma can cause memory loss, so the last two 1st round NCAAT losses must've done just that.

 

[UConnRock]

The lefty I will always put ahead of all other lefties is Johnnie Selvie
