Rocket Watts?

[AuRevoirAAC]

If Whaley and Polley had left this offseason and two dudes named Paley and Wolley came in with their exact skill sets, this entire board would be over the moon with how we crushed the transfer portal. I get that we still have holes in the roster, but outside of 4-5 teams in the country that can be said about anyone. Trust in Hurley.

LOL - great post @PAHusky

It’s so true...the “transfers” that we added are the Big East Defensive POY and Big East 6th Man of the Year. Hurley recruited them back for an additional year and deserves a ton of credit for this. Without Whaley and Polley, we are significantly weaker.

There has to be middle ground between, we're never going to score points again, and we're the deepest team in the big east and everyone is going to step up and improve.

Plus, this thread just rocketed to Page 20.

Yeah - "So long as we can protect the ball, make defensive stops, and hit our late game free throws, the other team will never catch up when we have a lead in the final 6 minutes."

You are not suggesting that nuance is rare on the Boneyard, are you?

 

[kansashusky]

So he can't try and motivate the team?

Except it sounds like he is whining when he does it.

 

[businesslawyer]

Fair, I forgot about Polley, but otherwise pretty accurate

LOL. So other than being wrong, you’re right? It’s really difficult to type in “my bad” on an anonymous message board?

Are you suggesting those are mutually exclusive opinions? Here?

Looks like he is announcing Friday .

I thought he landed in the Indian Sea last week......it's been very quiet around here regarding the Rocket

 

[navery12]

Curious where he ends up. UConn seems to be out, Michigan State beat reporters have said a return is out, Kentucky has added a lot of guards recently

Zero idea... heard 100% 3 weeks ago for us... that seems like 5% today

Think this dragged out to long for a UConn to come out on top. I had actually forgotten about him as have others.

I think UConn chances are slim to none

 

[BoukofJames]

If not UConn, who is recruiting Rocket? He seems to play it close to the vest.

Is the Amore tweet about staff being content with current roster the only reason for us to believe we’re out on Rocketman? Not a shot at Dom.. but in that tweet he also said the assistant search was still ongoing when I think most of us boneyarders knew Murray was locked up

The only schools I have seen as options are a return to MSU, Kentucky, DePaul, and UConn, but I agree that his transfer has been very quiet.

I personally think DePaul could be a very good fit for him, but I don’t know the extent to which they are recruiting him either.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Depaul makes sense, he'd be the man there.

 

[UCSouth]

Depaul makes sense, he'd be the man there.

Slide into Charlie Moore's spot

 

[BoukofJames]

Agreed, the Blue Demons seem like a good fit, let’s see what happens

 

[Fishy]

Depaul makes sense, he'd be the man there.

DePaul never makes sense.

 

[BGesus4]

One thing is we know this staff knows how to keep their mouths shut...so who knows

 

[Burnsbros23]

Heard it was us DePaul and Marquette two weeks ago. Then Marquette is out a week ago. R we actually recruiting him?

 

[Kmba2Rmemba]

Hiring of Coach Murray a possible tipping point for the good guys?? ?

 

[Com'rGordon]

I want Rocket.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Looking at twitter, looks like he is committing to his new school on Friday. Depaul seems to be the fanbase thats tweeting at him the most if that is any indication.

 

[CL82]

I want Rocket.

Minimally he adds depth and is another piece. I'm sure that Hurley wouldn't mind having a rocket in his pocket.
