Silas Demary Jr Commits to UConn

[HooperScooper]

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.

He has played 2 season. 2 more left unless they extend eligibility officially.

[JB75]

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.

Hard to say no sitting next to 6 national championship trophies

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.

I’m slow, WTF does 5 mean?

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

 

[JoeyBuckets]

Lets go!!!! Welcome!!!Cant wait to see you play!!

He looks smaller than older Diarra for sure. Either way I'm happy as he isn't thin or real small PG like we had the last year outside of Hassan Diarra who had a decent built and height combo.

"Hurley’s track record of consistent winning and player development played an essential role in Demary's decision"

That quote will give some people here a bit of agita . . .

 

[cellocgg]

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.

Perhaps our situation isn't as dire as everyone on here makes it out to be

Fantastic news. Great job by the staff to reel in the one guy who was just an ideal fit. He fixes a lot. Now we can add more but there's flexibility in how we do that. I don't think there was really a substitute for Silas in the portal.

I’m slow, WTF does 5 mean?

Not positive this is the answer but he was wearing #5 at Georgia.

 

[NJHusky]

Inside baseball. My wife serves them.

What!!!! And you don’t have her wear a wire or bug the table??? No soup for you!

 

[Icehawk]

To Silas's dad - yeah, WE HAPPY! Welcome to the fam.

Silas sure looks like the guy we were missing last season and we needed for the upcoming one. Curious to see what else we can catch in the portal but this one is a huge relief.
