Senior Night: Ahmad Nowell Sitting Behind Bench

[August_West]

SJ? 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 SJ 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.

Who is this clown?

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!

 

[Nebraskan18]

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
