played $uckers

but stupid!

played $uckers

Seems like he used UConn for a bigger bag at Kansas.

Hurley has a plan, no one linked us with Joey last year.

 

[UofCT]

We know the freshman class is good, but they're freshmen. Where does the shooting come from next year

Let the freshman cook!

Was UConn played to fill the bag at KU? Oh well

 

[tuvent08]

My completely uninformed guess is that there are places that the staff just wasn't willing to go here. Given that he's also receiving social security this season, one would have thought that might have been enough.

 

[REB1094]

He's 25 years old with no NBA aspirations, his options were the last 2 national champions both with great coaches with plenty of playing time available, and he and his family decided to make the most money.

This is a solid point. Can hardly fault the guy for choosing Kansas if they did have more money to give.

UConn did just send our designated shooter to the first round of the NBA draft, but so did Kansas and both guys were underclassmen. Different situations

I trust the staff to rebound here and find the right pieces to round out the roster

Right now Clingan, but hopefully that changes. We need the staff to work their magic again, Joey C didn't join us until June 13th.

Anyone know what Roumoglou's shot looks like? He's a wildcard.

On another note, hopefully Diarra is staying.

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.

We're way behind or out on all those guys unfortunately, I think. Unless we can swing some national title juice around,

 

[Storrs South]

The one thing this staff has shown is they always figure it out since day 1 is with recruiting. Forget it and move on.

 

[jimva]

Hurley and the Administration deserve a lot of criticism with how they're handling NIL. It's clear Timberlake's mind was changed due to more money from Kansas.

I assume this is sarcasm

Completely agree. Just was looking for some available players in a similar mold.

FWIW Timberlake wasn’t in the top 40 transfers. So there are definitely some others available out there, and i’m sure more will enter the portal.

 

[GemParty]

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

Yeah…that’s the weird part lol

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

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Hope our guys unfollow him. That’ll teach him.

 

[AntG168]

He used us to get a bigger bag from Kansas. That’s what this smells like

This he was bought crap is embarrassing. He chose Kansas. Get over it.

 

[Northbound]

You want to be here or you don't end of story - you don't, good luck to you, you do we welcome you with open arms.

 

[CTBasketball]

Andre Jackson probably saw him order a well-done steak, so he told Nick to move along.

 

[gsmooth]

This proves that none of us know anything lol

exactly. It's why I stopped following that thread for the most part. I don't care about crystal ball predictions or this person said blah blah blah. Unless it's a done deal no one can say for sure where a recruit is going.

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

 

[kansashusky]

The only good part about this ending is it solidifies who knows anything around here.

I mean he was. This was an NIL decision. It’s fine, But that’s what it was
