2020 Recruiting: Seth Towns grad transfer

[Griggs]

I do believe that senior Jordan Bruner of Yale will graduate with a year of eligibility left.6-8 power forward who can score and rebound. Can also run the floor.

Yes, he will graduate, has a year of eligibility, and will transfer because he is ineligible under Ivy League rules. He dominated against UNC in a close loss and would be a great pickup.

He’s great, but I think blue bloods will be on him.

One of the leading shotblockers and can hit the 3 too. Really good passer as well. I've seen them practice a few times--great leadership qualities.

Not sure he'd look at a rebuilding uconn with akok though.

I really do like the idea of them as our frontcourt after seeing what we’ve done with a “traditional center” this year. But still, we’d be a tough sell for the reasons you outlined.

This belief that we're slumming to go after a smaller conference POY because he wasn't highly rated coming out of high school is absurd. They don't give those away and they're much better indications of success than how someone looked as a 16 year old. True for Cole and true for Towns.

Cole is SO much better than people here realize. I am loving Cole and Gaffney at the point next season. Once Gaffney gets his confidence, he will be an impact player. He is very athletic, and due to the ankle injury we haven't seen that...yet.
Gaffney will be a damn good backup point guard as a Soph.

 

[Caronimo]

I’m hearing we have a very good shot with Towns if we want it

 

[Dooooooomed]

So is the "big fish" Cliff or someone else??

And give me Towns all day everyday. Scholarship openings be damned!

Take all the talent we can get. I believe we’ll have room. Hurley isn’t going to mess around preparing for year 3.

Jordan Bruner would be fantastic and Kevin Marfo (Quinnipiac) would be a solid grad transfer option. Marfo leads college basketball in RPG.
And I think Towns is 100% a guy to go after and take a chance on him staying healthy.

URI under Hurley recruited Marfo hard out of highschool

Btw, there is also a section titled "Sit-out transfers eligible for the 2020-21 season" and Cole is 12th.

2. RJ Cole, 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, PG, RS Sophomore, UConn (from Howard)
One of the most productive players in college basketball last season, Cole will look to translate his numbers at a higher level in the AAC. He averaged 21.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists.

No he won't.

 

[ToolzieFan]

Thanks for posting. I don’t know if he’ll want to come here. And I don’t know if he’ll be healthy. But the idea of us not wanting him if we think he’ll be healthy is crazy.

i take it you never drank the "2020 preseason top 25" koolaid?

For me, it depends on how we look at the end of the year and what final addition(s) we make, but probably not top 25.

 

[HooperScooper]

No he won't.

He won't "look to" or not be able to?

 

[Huskyforlife]

He won't "look to" or not be able to?

it's impossible.

 

[Rico444]

He won't "look to" or not be able to?

It will be very difficult for him to put up any kind of numbers in the AAC.

He won't "look to" or not be able to?

I predict 0 points 0 assists in the AAC for Cole

 

[navery12]

He will not be able to put up any numbers in the AAC

 

[HooperScooper]

Oh yeah! Geeze I'm stupid!

With the terrible news about Polley I think pursuing Towns makes even more sense than it did before. We need shooters next year badly

Do people not usually fully recover from injuries like his? He has almost a year to rehab.
