Naheim Alleyne - VT transfer

[CardiacAndre7]

Crazy how fast the BY switches from sky is falling to excitement. Maybe Hurley had a plan after all…

Crazy how people are expected to not be surprised and worried when 4 players transfer within a week or so

 

[superjohn]

Exceptionally broad use of the word “disaster”. It’s a tournament basketball game.

Broad use? No it's a targeted use, March is all that you're judged on in college basketball.

So, Diggins and Gaff have been replaced by Newton and Allenye?

That is a very good upgrade in performance and physical size.

That's great but in actually playing the games Newton will be replacing Cole and Alleyne will be replacing Gaffney. The Castle reclass needs to happen.

When you look at the performance of the leaving players, the need to worry lessened dramatically.

Trust The Process and welcome to college basketball in 2022.

I mean, there's 1 player out of that 4 who should have been even remotely surprising when a transfer was announced

If she’s a Cuse grad, she doesn’t deserve the dairy bar.

(But yes, it is very good.)

Oh my goodness that looks unbelievable. I’m inclined to agree you but she’s amazing undergrad school choice aside. Definitely hitting up to get inside recruiting info/eat ice cream. Thanks

I'm not concerned about replacing the guys who transferred. I'm moreso concerned about replacing and exceeding the production from Cole, Martin, Polley and Whaley.

not sure this was his plan, but his execution and follow through has upgraded the team

Sure if the players weren't
-a freshman clearly in over his head at this level
-An upperclassmen most people wanted to see on the bench behind the in over his head freshman.
-a player we all loved that sustained a catastrophic career changing injury that clearly wasn't going to allow him to play with the strength or confidence needed at this level.
-a player no one saw play (except the staff and they decided it was wise for him to redshirt)

Polley was a 1 trick pony who wasn't very good at that one trick, he was deficient in every other area on the court. Whaley was a great defender but he gave us nothing on offense and the Whaley Sanogo combo didn't work. I wouldn't be worried about replacing them.

Yeah in hindsight its fine, but don’t act like you weren’t a bit worried when all those guys transferred in that short period. It’s natural to have that reaction.

1 of the 4 was a surprise, so the shock of it is on you. If you watched the players who transferred and understand the current landscape of college basketball I am not sure why you were worried.

10 years ago sure.

Now?

You thank them and go shopping for some new cars.

[HuskyHawk]

Yeah and no mention of a commitment

 

[navery12]

Yeah and no mention of a commitment

Yet. Majority if not all the commitments under Hurley have been a verbal commit before they leave and then announce a few days later

 

[BackAftaThis]

Yeah and no mention of a commitment

Zags tweeted Gaffney was undecided where he was going and then 4 hours later Gaffney committed to us. He doesn't know as much as he portrays.

Just wait for the graphic in a few days.

Sure. I’m just doubting the confirmation tweet further up the page.

 

[Umami Zen]

Trust the Carpenter..

Maybe the Alleyne/Castle families are brewing up a joint announcement??

 

[OUTATIME]

Trust the Carpenter..

Easier to do with even 1 NCAA tourney win the past 2 years.

to worry is one thing but that's not how it manifested here. the boneyard turned into the crew of the HMS Bounty. mutiny!

There is no such thing as a disaster for a loss in a basketball game unless the roof caves in. It’s a game. Life goes on.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Some clarity tomorrow!

The roof caving in would be a "tragedy." I'm clearly not talking about a natural or man-made disaster.

Newton, Alleyne, Karaban and Clingan ..+possible Castle reclass and another impact transfer off the bench will hopefully do the trick.

Was referring to his/staff portal recruiting this particular off season

 

[GHSWolverines]

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

Yann Farrell from PSA

 

[dennismenace]

He's a 39% career 3 point shooter and the team lacks 3 point shooting. Think Polley replacement. Not every player needs to be an All American to make an impact.

He also would be a vast improvement on defense compared to Polley.
