Any chance he can get a waiver for this year or nah?

Lol. UConn NCAA

 

[krinklecut]

Remember...I called this. Said "something was coming".

This will also be great for the young guards. Having to go up against him in practice for a year will make them all better

Nice call @Chief00 !

I watched some mixtape. Lefty shooter, has a leg kick sometimes just like Shabazz. Good passer, court IQ.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT!

His coach did leave though.

Ahhh...stand corrected, didn’t know that.

Pretty cool RJ is one of the star players in a documentary about Bob Hurley Sr. Here’s the link to part 1

Super silky jumper, really nice handle, beautiful floater in the lane.

Me likey likey

1)super pumped. 2) interested how Gaffney feels on it, I know when he committed he sounded like he bought in to play Coles role when AG leaves. 3) wonder if this has us back off Langford this year/Diarra next. Also, does this take us 100% out the Ntwambe sweepstakes? Or was staff anticipating getting a hardship?

I have a feeling he might go down as the very best RJ to ever wear the Husky uniform.

Welcome RJ!!!

Will be Huge for 2020-21. Still want one more guy for '19 but we will see how it plays out. Great GET!

 

[UconnFanDC]

I will sleep well tonight!!

If Gilbert stays for 20-21 and we land an impact big/wing in next year's recruiting cycle we're a preseason top 25 team. A lot of ifs, but that'd be a scary backcourt.

I mean, yea, obviously. Although I disagree strongly I have already seen us in a reputable top 25 for next year.

Chief definitely showed him a time at the blue

Not trying to jump on your post at all but we need to get this "scared about playing time" narrative out of our heads. Memphis cleared out their roster to make room for 8 new studs that will all be fighting for playing time.

We've been bad the last few years because we haven't had nearly enough good players and there is no fight for playing time. UConn before the last few years and every great program brings in as much talent as possible and players fight for playing time, it makes everyone better.

Would love to get this kid on the court this year but we will definitely need him after CV leaves and who knows about AG’s fifth year. Huge for 20-21 season

If that’s the case than why not try for the waiver? They’ve been giving them out like hot cakes to men’s and women’s transfers the last 2 years. Can’t be that hard to come up with a valid reason.

We're not a top 25 team. Everything has to go right for us to make the tournament this year.
