Silas Demary Jr Commits to UConn

[Marat]

I bet Hurley showed him highlights of the team and how we were missing his skills at the PG spot to make a deep run.

Welcome aboard Silas! If anyone butchers your name and calls you Stylin D'amari or something, we apologize upfront.

This is a HUGE get by Danny. In the days of P2 NIL and Puke private equity powerhouses, Silas chooses the basketball capital of the world.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Love the fit.

Elite end-game closer in terms of his ability to generate offense, get to the rim and make FTs, plus I am encouraged by his PG potential moving away from Georgia's iso-centric offense to UConn's flow. Add in the fact that Demary has a ton of defensive potential too.

Overall, just a damn good all around big guard. Psyched.

Wonder if Rick Pitino will wave to him when he rides past Storrs

I thought
Pitino had locked him up?
It’s great to know that with Solo we have a helluva backcourt already!

Hated the St. John's campus. Like Nadav Henefeld did.

I have to say, the staff is really good at closing on the guys they go after. You never get them all but they have a really high hit rate. Demary had a lot of choices and he committed right after the visit before going on any more visits besides the St. John's visit.

Now “just” need 4 more things to happen:
Our big stays
Alex stays
We get a backup pg diarra type
We get mad dog bruiser PF/C
Then we are back in top 5 preseason poll

 

[Husky Alien]

Nice! Welcome Silas! Once we start misspelling his name we will know he's a true Husky!

Welcome Silas Dean, I mean Demary, lol, Husky Nation. Bleed Blue. Great get by the coaching staff. He will be fun to watch.

Seems like Kimani had his hands all over this visit in the video. His Georgia connections coming through

From his dad

So excited - great grab!

 

[Umami Zen]

Portal Domino #1- Perfect fit. Staff closed the deal. Next

 

[HooperScooper]

Demary is meeting with the media at 4:00 today on Zoom. So we'll get to hear his reasons for picking UConn right away.

 

[Dibbie]

I’m slow, WTF does 5 mean?

 

[Scrutineer]

We feelin’ good

This is great.
Dad must read the Boneyard because he put the proper pronunciation with his name on his post:
(DEM-uh-REE)
Hard on the first and third syllables and soft on the second.

He doesn't seem 6'5" standing next to Hurley who was 6'2" and Murray 6'1". Is that an accurate height? Seem more in the 6-3 to 6-4 range at best but built really well.

I didn't realize this was the current state of Kentucky basketball:

Huge get. One piece of the portal puzzle is in place. A few more to go.

It's all about perspective.
Luke looks as tall as any of them because he's closest to the camera. Demary is farthest from the camera. Hurley's also wearing a hat. Diarra is supposed to be 6'7" isn't he?
If that's the case Demary may be 6'7" too
