Gaffney should never play another min at PG and I like his game a lot. Cole should play a ton off the ball too.
Find me a non-Top 25 rated PG who can start and be successful at PG for a successful team as a Freshman. The only UConn answer is Doron Sheffer, and he was not your typical freshman.
Can definitely see Diggins as a contributor next year. DH is too loyal to RJ to hand the keys over to Diggins in his first year.
Yeah, everyone is guilty of hyping up their own incoming freshman, but looking at the RSCI yearly top 100’s stats on SportsRef will sober you up quick. Plenty of busts and very little year 1 production.

I love this young man’s game!!JUST IN: Illini guard Adam Miller enters transfer portal
Illinois freshman guard Adam Miller has entered the transfer portal, sources confirmed to 247Sports. ESPN's Jeff Borzello first reported the news. Miller is a big loss to
Yes. Please.
From 247's Brian Snow:
Standing around 6-foot-3 and possessing good length, he has positional versatility on both ends of the floor. One of the better shooters from the guard position. Has good athleticism to complement that. Offensively he is best off the ball where he can be a catch-and-shoot guy that also attacks closeouts. On defense, he shows the ability to defend either guard spot physically and should project to be above-average on that end going forward.
Averaged 8.3p, 49.4 2p%, 34.0 3p% with about 2/3rds of shots from 3. Not ideal numbers, but this guy was hyped coming in.
If not UConn, would be a fantastic Chicago kid to transfer to DePaul.
Nor should he. Bouk and Akok earned their minutes. Later that season, so did Gaff. That's how it ought to be.
I will be surprised if Hawkins isn't contributing in a big way as the season progresses. Diggins will need more time
Not sure if you consider St Johns a successful team this past year but Posh did a good job and he was in the 200's. I agree, I don't think we should expect much from Diggins until later in the year though
They were a bubble team that went 16-11 and was NIT bound. Not a success.
He de-commit from Cuse?
Who we talking about here?
Not yet. Just assuming his good sense. With his NLI signed and the transfer rule, I wonder if he could transfer without sitting out and not need the curmudgeon to let him out of his letter.
Our position here is that a kid who averaged 22 minutes (6th most on team) and put up 5 and 2 is our standard for success here? I don't think that's quite the same of what we're talking about here.
Didn't watch URI so I can't comment too deeply. Those sorts of numbers don't scream out "individual difference maker," which is the sort of thing people seem to be expecting from our freshmen.
