(a) recent article made clear that they were keeping that option open;

(b) Hurley and Luke recent visit to see him the weekend of Newton visit;

(c) Castle tweet or IG shortly after that visit and Newton commit that said "Are You Ready Storrs?" or something like that; and

(d) Castle's father Stacey actively recruiting Alleyne, and their families are apparently very close.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear anything on a Castle reclass for a little bit, even if it is something they've "decided." I have no info on this, but it'd seem like he'd have to meet all academic requirements to complete his high school degree, that would take time - perhaps require some overloading of his spring classes, some intensives, and/or summer classes to be at the point where he's eligible to attend college at all in fall 2022. I'd think that they wouldn't announce that reclass until it's known that he's on track to complete those entry requirements.

And Mrs Castle said Stephon is working on his college plans. :)

If we take a solid starter from tournament VTech team and make him our 7th guy, then I call that a win. We don't need him to be a superstar, we already have multiple guys that will fill that role. He's a career 39% 3P% guy with good volume and against ACC competition, he's exactly what we need

This. The last two post-seasons have been disappointing. But there is a lot of luck and randomness in single elimination tournaments. The first question is whether the program is getting better. In terms of wins, computer rankings, fan enthusiasm and recruiting, the answer is yes, yes, yes and yes. It’s been a solid job.

Will he ever be a “great” coach? Don’t know. Rarely will there be a definitive answer to that question this quickly into someone’s tenure. (And don’t tell me Jim Calhoun … because Calhoun was one of a kind.)

And I'm even more generous on the Maryland loss because of the Cole concussion and the fact that Bouk wasn't quite right after the Villanova game. And because a 7/10 game is a toss-up. @ConnHuskBask is right that basically the Creighton game (that gave Cole the concussion) and the NMSU game (which was crazy fluky) are the only two definitively "bad" losses. There are other games they could/should have won but lost, and some great games they did pull out (Houston, Auburn, Nova, etc.).

B/B+ is right. I'm not going to panic given the team has gotten better in the regular season every single year. That's going to translate into the tournament eventually.

Was just reading Borges’ article on Newton (Link) and really liked this blurb about him:

As a person, he’s even better.

“He’s about as good a young kid as you’ll be around,” Dooley said. “He’s got great character. Not good character, great character. His family’s got great character.”

“My parents raised me to be a good person,” Tristen added. “There’s no reason to be rude, say ‘please,’ ‘thank you’, ‘yes sir, no sir.’ I feel that’s gonna take me further in life.”

There were some concerns about culture when the 4 transfers hit, but it’s looking like Hurley is locked in on getting the right personalities to build back whatever culture was lost

So no Kromah for you, because you'd question his heart and desire?

There are plenty of kids who want to play against a higher caliber and test themselves. They all want to go somewhere and earn starters minutes, but none of them really know whether or not they will get them. Certainly, when Miller transferred here from Cornell he couldn't be certain that he'd be starting over Kenton Facey. He had to come here and find out.

Different time different circumstances - my comment is geared to those kids playing with the portal now
Miller came here because he couldn't play the additional year at Cornell

Miller could have gone to UVM and shot for being conference POY and leading a team to a tourney. He opted to go somewhere and fight a much more heavily recruited player out of high school for playing time.

This is hogwash. Everyone knew Miller was coming here to start, including Miller, Ollie, and Facey.
