Nils Machowski visiting tomorrow…

[Fishy]

As per Storrs Central.

Transfer from Wofford. Averages 83 points a game.

He’s reportedly Neils Giffeys’ 12th cousin on his mom’s side. Would count against the NCAA’s limit of one German per school.

Yeah but can he defend?

That’s a lot of points

 

[UConn Dan]

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Good combo back up

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Somebody tell me what to think

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Yeah but can he defend?

Seems like a net-neutral defender (per EvanMiya BPR) on a mid-major team that was absolutely horrible on defense (KP rated #311 defense).

At least the team wasn't as porous on defense when he was on the court vs. when he was off the court.

 

[TrueBlue22]

Sign me up.

Good size, rebounds well, shoots well. Began his career at a P5 school

Seems like the perfect player to compete for minutes with County in the backcourt, and would probably be favored in that competition.

Hurley likes him, so there's that 😀

 

[Fishy]

Yeah but can he defend?

Short answer - I don’t know.

Honest answer - I don’t care.

If he’s our quasi-Solo replacement, he can’t be any worse.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

38% from 3 on huge volume and most of those 3's in those highlight videos are from the bleachers. He and Mullins will extend the defense bigly.

If Storrs Central is reporting it, a commitment is usually a formality.

Feels like if these guys visit, they stay.

 

[Shine21]

Kid's a bucket. Sign me up.

 

[Fatroony5]

Maybe there’s more guards to come but they seem content with letting County run backup point duties & I’m still surprised by that. Freshmen point guards in Hurleys system have struggled, still think they need another guy can get help facilitate the second unit.

 

[RuffRuff]

Really does - not like Kentucky which puts them on a conveyor belt with a woman in a blue wig dropping a sack of money on them while Pope crosses his fingers.

Hurley’s hit rate feels close to 100% once he gets them on campus.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

 

[UCann]

Would be a great get, but I have a hard time believing this kid would be willing to take a major backseat and step into a support role after the type of scoring numbers he's been putting up.

 

[TroyHall98]

We can use a guy who averages 83 points a game

 

[superjohn]

Yes absolutely yes, yes, yes.

 

[husky99]

Berlin Connecticut. Local kid. Fans will love.... lol

 

[JungleLobo]

Former UCF, he’s jumping names every year.

It’s a trap, spy from the Civil ConFLict

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Looks like a guy who has played some point and can be a secondary creator. Would take a lot of pressure off relying solely on County to be that guy. Also was previously at UCF and put up reasonable numbers off the bench there his sophomore year.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

 

[alexd]

Soph year he played 12mpg and averaged 4 ppg.

JR year: 33mpg, 17ppg. 😊

 

[Hurlees4hed]

Won't pretend to have watched him play, but a quick look at highlight clips and glance at his sports reference page, this looks like a pretty good bench CG to compete with County for minutes.

He was the second leading scorer on Wofford. 38% from 3 on more than 7 attempts a game. Spent two years at UCF and didn't play a ton.

We won't be asking him to do as much / too much here. Looks like he can catch and shoot or pull up off the dribble but much more catch and shoot here probably. Limited role, just need him to be effective in it.

We won't be asking him to do very much here. Looks like he can catch and shoot or pull up off the dribble but much more catch and shoot here probably. Limited role, just need him to be effective in it.

Joey C type. Throw up a couple daggers a game. Perfect fit. Will make Hurleys mom happy.

 

[ec33]

Nice. And perhaps leave money for a more exciting 4 than I had expected.

 

[navery12]

When I said I wanted a legitimate combo guard yesterday this is the type of player I was dreaming of. Close the deal
