Senior Night: Ahmad Nowell Sitting Behind Bench

[August_West]

Samson Johnson? Really? He would have to do the work this summer and show improvement like Hass has done. Am thinking we need to get a proven 5 from the Portal if DC leaves.... The present Samson Johnson will not cut it.

 

[alphasigko]

It was great here while you took your sabatical to whatever hole you went into.

 

[JungleLobo]

Kid is built like a linebacker

Lol Hurley makes him look small

 

[UCTitleTown]

How can any 5 star watch these Gampel smackdown wins and not want to play for UConn? Oh yeah, $$$$$. Unfortunately, the new main motivator for top recruits. Thank God for Nowell. He's old school. I can't wait to see him as a Husky.

 

[imno1]

Tristen is 6’5” Nowell is the same size as Bazz and Boat. ( 6 foot? ) With all the dawg of Boat and all the onions of Bazz. Watch.

They should consider retiring his number

Who is this clown?

 

[Iluvsuebird]

Nowell
Ball
Stewart
Karaban
Johnson

I’d take that

Bro that’s not a contending nucleus. It’s a nice start,

To be fair, UConn wasn't getting 5 star recruits before NIL either.

OK, I’m not saying this to tick off anyone but we have to realize that Samson ( who I greatly appreciate) is a backup center next season. He can be very good with some muscle and improvement but honestly with him as our starting big we will be middle of the pack BE. I don’t expect we can get someone like Sanogo or Clingan but at very least we need a 6’9 to 7 foot rebounder down there and that’s not Samson. Hurley and the staff know this believe me.

Kadari Richmond NIL donor. Although at Seton Hall that means someone kicked down a a 5 spot.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Nowell
Ball
Stewart
Karaban
Johnson

I’d take that

We’re gonna need an experienced big body and another veteran ball handler. But those 5 figure to be big parts of the rotation.

Or picked up the tab for a Papa Johns pizza.

Gumbys. That was the pizza we used to eat in college. Total garbage. Cheap, but we were H-A-F so who cared?

"I'm in my season, so I'm working hard trying to compete the best I can and three-peat my last year of high school," Nowell said. "But I feel like when I get here, I'm going to work as hard as I can to be able to put myself in that position, anyway. So, I feel like that's not a thought that needs to be had. Nothing was really given to me, I always work hard for everything."

I wouldn’t. Should aim for a better starting lineup

I agree with this. He’s a perfect backup big but he doesn’t rebound well and virtually non threat on offense outside of lobs

429-GUMB!

 

[Com'rGordon]

I'd honestly be fine with Hass starting PG and Nowell 22 min off the bench next year

[mauconnfan]

Thanks for posting I think we’re gonna absolutely love this kid, special stuff!

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I wouldn’t. Should aim for a better starting lineup

I would feel pretty comfortable with Karaban and probably Stewart locked in and comfortable with Nowell in a time share role. I would be shocked if Hurley doesn’t hit the portal hard for a big man and more shooting from the guards.

Who is this clown?

I don't know, but I have a rule that I try to wait until a poster has made at least 100 posts before I point out how stupid they are, so I wish they'd hurry up and make a few more.

That’s far too much leeway

Nowell is leaning over and Hurley is in the foreground.

Camera tricks.

This guy's an overachiever though
