2025 Recruiting: Niko Bundalo Update

[HungryHu5ky]

I guess I'm using public loosely but Darius Adams said it in his commitment interview, then Colby Giacubeno said it on a podcast, then Trilly said the same thing on his discord.

I hope they're all wrong and we get both, but there's enough smoke that I don't think it can really be dismissed as nonsense. Especially when it lines up with what our roster is looking like for next year. This staff is always going to weigh the impact of these decisions on returning players like we saw with Koby Brea and Aidan Mahaney

…
trilly & Colby Giacubeno only said they don’t suspect that UConn would add both which is only an opinion not a quote from a source…personal I don’t think we’ll get both but I can def see them fitting together

Scouts are gonna be all over Ball this season.

I’m not a crazy comp person, but I did like the Westbrook comp for Solo. He’s that athletic.

is McNeely a lock to go based on what you’ve seen?

if Liam doesnt go pro then i hope Ball or Mahaney do. none of Adams, Mullins, soph Nowell, or junior Ross should be 3rd stringers

I think that comp is pretty lazy personally

I thought it was a horrible comp they’re nothing alike at all

I think he's a cross between Marcus Smart and Jrue Holiday...

I don't think Mahaney is an NBA player. He is too small and not athletic enough to separate himself.

The announcer in yesterday's game compared him to Westbrook. I don't really see the comparison at all. Ball is more of shooter than the slasher that Westbrook is. I guess they are both very athletic but that is were the comparisons end.

Westbrook also had an absurd fifteen foot pull-up that Ball does not. Not sure who I would compare Ball to though.

Solo is a one of a kind.
