Of the tranfers, who do we want?

[Danzz]

Don't know much about any of them but there has to be one who stands out.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

MILLER (emphasis added)

 

[Kitaman]

I don't keep up with names like many others but as for need:

1. Rebounder (consistent)
2. Ball Handler (i.e. dribbler)
3. Outside shooter (think Giffey)
4. DHam backup (for 2016 insurance)

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

I would love Lee but we have NO chance (IMO). So "Big Lanky" PTP'er its "Miller Time" is the big fish we are looking to reel into the mix. The bait is out there. Now we need the bite and reel him in. Who would you rather have with the hook than KO?

 

[pnow15]

Sterling Smith, 6'4". Coppin State
A couple of players gave us fits when we played them this year. Was he one of them?
A guard who would fit nicely behind Purvis and Adams.
He is eligible for next year. Sr. transfer.
Even this kid and Tyler Harris would round off the roster nicely.
41% from three line.

Agree with the priorities. The only transfers in whom I am interested are 5th years or others who can play right away, so I guess that means Miller is probably priority number one.

I'll ask again here because I didn't get a reply when I asked in a different thread, but has anyone else heard rumors of a Turkish big man in whom we are interested?

First I've heard of it. I know we're in on the big Greek kid, Papagiannis, who'd be a freshman if he plays college ball. But reports say it's a long shot he comes to the states.

Thanks. That could be it; I know confusing Turkey and Greece is unforgivable as between Turks and Greeks, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what the friend who told me this did.

MILLER (emphasis added)

It seems like even getting the transfer we want is also going to be a battle.

 

[champs99and04]

Miller for sure, IMO.

I have no inside info and quite honestly or frankly... I have not been nominated into the BY HOF for projecting the landing spots of recruits. It seems to me that Cal might pose the most serious comp for "Miller Time". Its like a lot of dominoes may be falling soon in the Miller recruitment assuming we are top 3 which I believe we are. The Rabb decision whether to go to Cal may affect Miller's decision. Rabb will be patiently waiting decisions from Johnson (gone) and Ashley (maybe gone). If Ashley, Jefferson and Tarz (sp) return then Rabb goes to Cal. You see the dominoes? The dominoes may fall at Zona and that could affect the Miller decision indirectly. Miller though has a very good core to join at UConn where he could provide the senior leadership/rebounding/scoring this team so desperately needs.

 

[CTBasketball]

Miller and Paschall.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Also I think Miller adds something this team will desperately need. A player with a higher basketball IQ.

Expert opinions welcome. I will pretend I am in class!

 

[CallMeBruce]

I'd like Miller, with the understanding that he'd likely start at the 4 next year, and Trey Lewis, with the possibility that he might be the starting PG, or at least get significant burn there.

 

[lange10]

Miller and Paschall.

Agreed. Lock these 2 up and either a natural PG or someone who can shoot 40% from 3.

Seems like Paschall isn't really giving UConn a look though. I've seen Nova and PC everywhere but only that he's possibly considering a visit to Florida. Nothing more on us than we originally heard. I really hope our staff is all over this kid...he is DHam's replacement for 2016-2017.

 

[djct1999]

Paschall is a pipe dream.

the answer is NONE! Recruit well enough out of High School, and you do not need transfers. Too many transfers, means you have failed as a recruiter!

 

[donyell34]

Strange post there raf. A little harsh dude.

 

[Jaker]

all of them!

 

[Matrim55]

Or it means you had several years of recruiting sanctions and reduced scholarships.

You say "potato," I say "blithering idiot."

 

[Tenspro2002]

But given that we've failed to recruit well enough out of high school, what's the harm in looking at other options?
