Getting Nadav Henefeld vibes here

you shouldn't

I don't get why so many people are trying to trash a kid they never heard of two days ago.

I think this is the 2nd or 3rd year it’s legal. Furphy will wear 7 and Millender 9 this season.

Looks like Souleymane Diaby is no longer with the team.

 

[dennismenace]

Would you say we now have a plethora of players?

Thanks for the reminder:

Looks like Souleymane Diaby is no longer with the team.

Yeah just looked up the roster. He was there ~2 weeks ago. Not a big loss as he was break glass.

With a roster of 15 scholarship players I think we already have enough "break glass" players.

 

[AntG168]

This is an insane comment to make because he probably won’t play…but I’m betting some Joey California vibes. We didn’t expect him to play either haha

 

[Samoo]

I Have always loved players from KK Zlatibor. This is incredible news!!!!

Best skiing in Serbia (a little like being the tallest building in Des Moines)...

 

[slepers]

Wild roster this year - we have a Turk, an Ozzie, a German, a Serb, a set of brothers, a kid that we stole out of Indiana's backyard, a couple transfers that we were expecting, then a couple of others I still know nothing about. Sign of the times I guess, I'm finding it pretty entertaining.

What’s an Ozzie?

 

[RuffRuff]

What’s an Ozzie?

A dude from Australia - don't calls them Aussies, I've been corrected more than once.

I agree. Think he can be a pretty capable backup/3rd string PG ballhandler.

(And I was very early on the Joey C looking pretty good over the summer)

 

[huskyharry]

Kid has very good handle for his height…can’t have enough ball handling depth!

 

[uchusky32]

Welcome to Husky Nation, Uros!

He is Tasmanian but also an Ozzie

I think the thing that made Joey so special/different was that it usually never happens. Pretty sure Dan even admitted after the fact they thought Joey was just a practice body coming in. Both these euros are practice bodies in my eyes until they step into a game unexpectedly.

I feel like it’s important to be honest about the talent level of these guys so people don’t put false expectations on them. Wouldn’t call that trashing either.

 

[mauconnfan]

What’s an Ozzie?

Malachi “Ozzie” Smith?

 

[Fan1978]

Why wouldn't it be 4 years?

Because he would be on social security by then

Welcome to UConn is the appropriate response to a kid committing.

I don't believe you started a message board for such dull conversation. Everyone is happy he's here anyways, I'd agree if anyone was saying he isn't good enough to round out the roster.

"don't calls them"?
I can correct that.

My observation is that your writing is worse than his basketball. Thanks for calling this to my attention.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Time to resurrect the Israeli Connection.

 

[HW611]

22 year old in the 2 league in Europe (which is like the college level for overseas basketball).

I don’t think he’s here to be a practice body. He looks very skilled and smooth in his film. Think he’ll have a good role this season.

At 6’4 he gives us another big guard that can switch between the 1 and 2 too.

 

[Scrutineer]

A veritable plethora, yes.
But I’m confused. Why don’t any of these announcements indicate when these players are joining the team? Can players still be added to the ‘25 roster?

They all said the two will be here by the start of the semester.
