Nick Timberlake to Kansas

[aburks41]

Alleyne should enter the portal again and come back lol

 

[navery12]

Will he still follow UConn players on Twitter or dump them all now?

Castle and 2 others (not sure who exactly) already unfollowed him

I've only seen limited televised game footage of Ross (and quite a bit of highlight reels, which granted need to be taken with a grain of salt) but I firmly believe that every additional minute if game time he receives before January will pay significant dividends in March. This may turn out to our benefit for what we get from this kid alone.

I would imagine we're way behind on anyone you'll find on any top transfer list. Ingram is gonna be joining Timberlake any day now at Kansas from the sound of things. At this point I imagine it'll have to be a guy with some UConn connections if it's a top transfer

Hopefully someone like that exists!

 

[kansashusky]

It’s not embarrassing at all. It seems like it’s 100% the case in fact.

Stop. This is a Syracuse level response. We are not the, "they picked another school for the money" program. No one here has any idea why he picked Kansas.

They'll dump him

 

[OkaForPrez]

I don’t really care we lost the recruit, I’m more concerned we lost the credibility of the matrim wink.

 

[Fishy]

I hope he gets scabies and bed bugs at Kansas.

 

[August_West]

Yes they definitely do. You can see how it hurt us last year with all of our transfer misses. Can you imagine if Hurley and co were good at NIL? We could have won TWO NCAA Championships!

Lol we won a natty with the misses. Cmon man

 

[runner11]

Nice wink dude.

This has helped me make the mental transition from following this type of thing as a "transfer" to more how I follow free agency rumors (smokescreens, building leverage, using the media, etc.). Nothing inherently wrong with that, it's just a different construct that hadn't really set in for me. It'll end up working in our favor at some point, too.

Just from checking the top 40 transfer portal entries on CBS:

Dalton Knecht
Aaron Estrada
Jaylon Tyson
Harrison Ingram

Names that match the skillset to a degree. I’m sure there are more and more realistic ones out there.

there are definitely more shooters that won't cost as much money in NIL. I would love it if Timberlake came to UConn, but only at the correct price. I wouldn't like it if he made more than members of last year's national championship team.

This isn't going to break UConn, everything will be fine folks.

I think he is 0 for the last two?

 

[AntG168]

Just start Stewart. We won’t repeat. But it’ll pay off in the long run

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Stop. This is a Syracuse level response. We are not the, "they picked another school for the money" program. No one here has any idea why he picked Kansas.

One of the most plugged in posters, @Zionn indicated that was a reason. He probably has an idea!

Damn, out of the two of you I really expected HuskyHawk to be the first one to chime in with this type of comment. Glad I couldn't bet on this.

Now I really want AJ to come back and have us repeat - and get Kansas along the way.

I have an idea. It was the $$

Maybe if you could’ve, you could have chipped in to UConns NIL fund.

Nice wink dude.

Nothing insiders can do when the coaches were played as well. @Zionn stated the staff was blindsided.

It will not be the only time. It could hurt short term. But bidding wars for players is not the best policy. Creates resentment.

 

[tuvent08]

I want Jackson back if only to see him body Timberlake in our game next season.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I think it was my fault. I was in meetings most of the afternoon, got back to my office and saw this:

I guess he couldn't wait for me to return his call

 

[Waquoit]

Timberlake does not bother me. Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth.

 

[REB1094]

I figured it out. He had calamari instead of steak. Made his decision to never come to CT after that
