Potential 2019 decommits

Realizing I spelt his name wrong Shonn Miller was in no way shape or form even the 5th best player on that team.

That team had Jalen, DHam, Purvis, Gibbs, all who were better than Miller.

You are badly misremebering that season.

Shonn averaged an effecient 12/5 for us with great D.

He was certainly not better than jalen that year. He, gibbs, purvis were all relatively equal for the 2nd spot after dham, imo

Acquire talent. PERIOD. In what ever form that may be.

But a knock down 3point shooter on the wing would be nice

Miller was the best player on that team followed by Hamilton, Gibbs, Jalen, Purvis

Not sure about this but he was closer to #1 than #6, that's for sure.

We will have to agree to disagree, all of those guys had great games against real competition EXCEPT Miller. Theres a reason he spent his undergrad years playing for Cornell and not a real basketball school

If Bennett goes to UCLA. Anyone know if we could be in on Shedrick or Morsell.

There's a less than 0% chance that happens

No established high major coach is going to go to the nightmare that is UCLA. Bennett has the same level of job security as Roy, Self, and Wright. Why would he risk that to go a school that hasnt been relevant since the 90s? They’re not the sleeping giant that everyone thinks they are anymore

 

[Scrutineer]

Reports have boatright growing and closer to 6-5 while people have commented that Wilson is at most 6–6 and still a horrible shooter with no Handle. This isn’t an issue for Boaknight.

I think Dooright is going to be special for us.

 

[TheChamps990411]

How reliable is that guy? Smart has 4 guaranteed years left on his contract and unless another program is willing to pay him close to his current salary and his buyout (although I'm assuming Texas is willing to forego that), he ain't going nowhere. I can't imagine Texas cares enough about hoops to pay $13M plus another $3M+ a year for a coach.

I liked Shaka but never thought he was a guy to lead an elite program. That being said I thought he was going to have more success at Texas but hes done nothing.

Agree, we need help in lots of areas.

The reason why he didn’t have great games is because he never got the ball. He never got the ball where he could get percentage shots

You’re talking out of your ass because he had a bad game against Kansas.

Offensive rating against Tier A and B teams that year

Miller: 118
Gibbs: 109
Hamilton: 97
Purvis: 96
Adams: 90

Care to add some context to what these numbers mean? And who they were against.

Two fo those guys played in the NBA, and Jalen may at least get a look. Miller was never on any NBA radar

He has them memorized. His name is @UConnStats , man!

That’s just from kenpom’s player profiles

 

[Chief00]

Hmmm, not Precious?????

Good question. Precious is the athletic type who can make athletic plays, not the type of guy who runs a team. Chief sees Gaffney as eventually having the potential to do both.

Yes if Miller was on this year’s team we probably would have been in the upper half of our conference. He was a really good pick up. As you so accurately stated some only remember the Kansas game and a few others but most games he was dynamite. Just the type of grad transfer to look for.

Um, isn’t it obvious? The Rutgers AD website, duh.

Word is that Texas is helping shaka get set up at another job in return for reduced buy out. He's gone at the end of the season

Woulda been nice if we handled KO similarly...

There was a reason Curry played at Davidson and Lillard at Weber, right?

Good for D Ham in getting a guaranteed deal and good on Purvis getting 10 days, but at the end of the day, the vast majority of their careers have been spent in the G League aka the league where Shonn Miller plays, and Jalen is likely to end up.

He played in the summer league and I'm pretty sure he's on a Gleague team right now. He's gotten pretty close.

 

[Waquoit]

Do not understand the need to shade Shonn Miller. I'm in the "best player on the team that that year" camp.

 

[Jholla2183]

If Buzz goes to A&M, does Anthony Harris reopen his recruitment? Were any of those DMV guys on UConn’s radar besides Harris?
