[tcf15]

Played for Hurley Sr.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Not super familiar w/ kid, but has anyone seen bim
Play? I always am a little weary of low level kids with high point totals who when you look slightly further you see they shoot less than 42% from the field

 

[HuskyHawk]

A sit one transfer PG? I really hope we don’t burn a scholarship on that. That self imposed missing scholarship is proving to be a real pain.

 

[UC313]

If he endorsed by any member of the Hurley family, im good with that. The cats probably got more hoop IQ than i do.

 

[auror]

All his numbers look legit despite his team being terribad, although Howard played a god awful SoS last year. They didn't play a single Q1 game lol.

 

[UofCT]

Great, let him walk on and earn minutes

 

[StepbackCity]

Great, let him walk on and earn minutes

Are you nuts? He averaged 21 in his second year, he’s not walking on anywhere in the country.

 

[UconnU]

Hurley NEEDS to find a way to open up scholarships.

 

[huskyharry]

If there is any since if justice with the NCAA, they will look at the very minor nature of the UCONN infractions and recall that UNC was let off Scott Free and Syracuse received a mild slight slap on the wrist for aggregious offenses and say that the loss of a holly is not indicated....wait silly me there is absolutely no seen of justice there

 

[UconnU]

Serious question. Can we renege on the self imposed lost scholarship? We need that scholly bad, this year. I guess one obstacle would be that we can’t say “well we looked further into this and there wasn’t as much there as we thought” because of the situation with Kevin.

Where is his scholarship coming from?

We should’ve done the post season ban. When we weren’t even making the tournament.

That’s been successfully done before.

We have an open scholarship

I saw him this year as part of my Operation 351 journey. He scored 21 points that day against Harvard. I remember him as super quick and a excellent three point shooter.

We are overloaded with guards. Would like to see a big get the scholarship.

Would prefer Ntambwe if a "sit out" transfer or another bigger big.

That could easily change the season after next though, when this kid becomes eligible to play. CV will be gone for sure and Alterique will be getting his degree, though he will obviously still have eligibility left. Having a proven, older guard come in instead of a freshman could be a real good thing.

Pretty sure sophomore Gaffney would expect to be the starting PG if AG leaves after this next season. He was brought here to be just that.

Right, I'm with you on that. But either way we'll still be down to 4 guards and maybe 3 if Alterique makes a bold choice to go pro. Bench or not, this kid could be a big piece if that happens.

Sure. But I'd rather have a freshmen behind Gaffney than two guys, who both think they should start, and both have the same remaining eligibility.

 

[Com'rGordon]

I want him, I'm fully expecting 'Rique to be gone in 2020-2021, so that leaves our guard depth to be: Gaffney, Bouknight, Adams..

I'm guessing that the waters have been tested regarding Alteriques plans for the future. It's not anything out of the ordinary to ask a kid if indeed he is planning to use all 4 years in a case like this. If he told them more than likely he's going to try to play in Europe at least then they may want to pursue this opportunity. I think for now that's the only way they do.

It's like beating a dead horse at this point, but we need talent regardless of position. Not sure why this is so hard to understand

Which makes Coach Hurley's "welcome everyone back even if they're of zero use to the program" approach so frustrating.

What's like beating a dead horse? If we have only 1 schollie and we give it to a guard who can't even play next year? That's easy to understand it would be dumb.

IF needing and getting a BIG is beating a dead horse then I say keep beating
Talent is great but being heavily guard talented and relying on marginal BIGS is not a great recipe to returning to a respectable level

We don't have 1 scholarship, we have 2. But I meant that there's about 15 threads with the same discussion right now

We just watched a great championship game between UVA and Texas Tech playing the same kind of 4 out, great athletic wings that Hurley wants. I'm pretty confident it'll work out just fine.

Not saying we want to rely on marginal bigs, but I'm more than comfortable with Carlton and Whaley next year

We have one. We might get another. But we have one. A ship is being held for Precious, so until he decides or rules us out, we have zero.
