I'm expecting him to be the next KU coach.

Uncle Giltay
I'm talking myself into the fact that Reibe wasn't very effective end of year anyway so it won't be that hard for Giltay to exceed his production at the end of the season. But I tend to agree with the other guy who cautioned Giltay may not be as productive as Reibe was while Reed was out early in the year. Hope we're wrong. I admit I don't know anything about Giltay. Just basing my skepticism on the lack of interest from other major conferences. The only other school I heard connected to him was St. Louis. There was definitely interest in Hines and Reed before him. What's an example of a portal player no major conference team wanted who came to UConn and exceeded expectations? That would help me be more optimistic.
It's ashame that Dan Hurley doesn't know basketball as well as you do. Imagine how good our program would be if you were in charge.
I thought Cam Spencer exceeded expectations!
The fact that Hurley recruited him does not tell me whether he recruited him to replace Reibe's production or Koroma. I'm glad we got someone, just not sure of his role. Has Hurley said anything yet? What makes you so sure?
We certainly need more than 10/10 combined from the position.
No doubt other schools that didn't want him are second guessing themselves right now. We will see. I trust Hurley has a role for him, just not sure what that role will be yet.
You don’t honestly think this kid is replacing Koroma right? You have to be messing with us….
His role is Center, 16-20 mpg.
I don't know. We do need someone to replace Koroma right? I actually like Koroma. He gave us some good minutes. It sounds like you think Koroma was basically nobody.
Koroma didnt play a single meaningful minute after November 19th.
Wait, dude wants him playing the 3?
OK, that's good to know, thanks. I just wonder why no one wanted him then. Maybe when they heard Hurley was after him they didn't bother to compete? I just keep hearing the big market is spares so it surprises me.
Looks like County is going to get plenty of minutes, do we really see Landrew at the 2?
No we are still after a backup CG and backup PF
He had some really great games during the year, including 8 points and 11 rebounds against Clemson in 23 minutes, but I don't have time to look at the stats in detail today. He seemed to struggle the last ten games of the year but the staff obviously believes his end of season is not truly representative of his ability and what he'll bring to UConn.Here are his game by game stats from last year. He didn't play well against the better teams and in those games he had a high foul rate. You can't teach size but they isn't a very strong story in these stats.

I'd give Hurley & staff credit for digging him out, more than I would apply his upside limit due to other programs not exploring. Most of these programs are chasing shiney. If you look at the tape, the kid is far more athletic than Reibe. He plays taller. Offensively, I think he'll be a rim runner.
Landrew can probably play 2-4 here. A lot of people on the board seem to be thrown off by his size and think he's a 3/4 but he's always been a 2/3.
In 2022 Hurley brought in experienced guards (Calcaterra, Alleyne, Diarra) when we already had Newton and Hawkins as established starters. But we didn't have a 4-star recruits like Landrew and County. Still, it seems we could use a guy like one of those 3 next year.
Who cares. He's the perfect backup 5 that's comfortable playing 12-15 minutes off the bench.
A lot of people (myself included) ignored the red flag of Reibes underwhelming senior year of high school. I agree with you Ruff.
What are those stats? Pts/Reb/? Can't be blocks or assists can it?
