[Hungryhusky99]

Castle has for a while, they are both from Georgia.

Bueller? Bueller?

[JMick]

perfect replacement for Polley. hope he decides to commit

 

[Phoenixhusky]

This is the guy! Shocked if we don’t get him based on his IG follows and the endorsement from Mrs. Castle.

 

[Hungryhusky99]

I really don’t get the excitement over this one

 

[rip7774]

If we get him, need Rudi or another ballhandler. Don’t want another year with one strong ballhandler. We’re UConn - guards should be lining up with our history.


I’m not in camp (in reading tea leaves - no inside info) that Castle reclassifies. Certainly hope he does!

Anyone got a pronunciation key for this one?

 

[formerlurker]

They are Vert is green Mont is mountains in French
In English the states name is Green Mountain
New Connecticut was their second choice.
i personal liked bowing to the French / Latin version.

It's actually Latin. This is rom the UVM website:

UVM” stands for the Latin words Universitas Viridis Montis -- University of the Green Mountains.

It’s on like

I’m hearing really good things. Fingers crossed. Newton, Hawkins, Alleyne, Jackson backcourt around Sanogo is insane.

When all is said and done with this offseason, if he's our 4th guard on the depth chart headed into the season after Hawkins, Newton, and a player to be determined later, then I am a fan of this addition. However, if he's our 3rd best option at guard I'm not super thrilled.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Good piece. Shouldn’t be a starter and still will need at least 1 more guard if we get him

He’s a solid proven high major guard. Look at the teams who immediately reached out. He started for a good team. I’ll take competing with Florida State.

FSU just landed Green Jr for their gunner position so I feel good about beating them here

He doesn't handle ball pressure too well. He can shoot the 3 at a high clip, which is a plus. He's not the kind of guy to break down his defender, though. Like I said, if he's 4th on the depth chart I will like the addition.

Ranking men's college basketball's top transfers: Where has everyone landed?

As the new season approaches, the top men's college basketball transfers have committed to their new programs. Who has finally landed where?

www.espn.com

35. Nahiem Alleyne, 6-4, 185 lbs., SG, Jr., Virginia Tech

Alleyne is one of the top pure shooters in the portal, and generating plenty of interest as a result. Shot 37.3% from 3 this past season but made more than 40% of his outside shots in the 2020-21 season.

UVM is in Burlington not Montpelier.

No. They moved it,

They came in the dead of night and moved the entire campus to Montpelier.

Damndest thing I have ever seen.
