Silas Demary Visit

[jibsey]

Look what we did without that type of point guard with apologies to injured Hass. It was amazing we were as good as we were. Hurley is going to get 2 players of that pg level this season I hope and I’m not knocking Mahaney but he’ll have to accept that because injuries are a fact of life.

 

[Umami Zen]

Sanon got good money, Zuby got a raise and Wilcher will get his. We may be able to match $ money here. This is the position they sat aside big money for.

They also may have to pay$$$ for Hopkins if he comes on board at StJ

 

[PAHusky]

Inshallah we pull this kid, do we think Danny would target another pg as well with Nowell out? Correct me if I’m wrong more knowledgeable posters but between incoming frosh etc we have all combo guards coming in and no “pure” pg?

Eid Mubarak! I went nuts on some Palestinian food with my neighbors yesterday. Favorite day of the year.

And I don't think we'll go after 2 PGs. Adams has made it clear the staff envisions him playing some PG, and Solo can moonlight there as well, especially if we have a playmaking 3/4 in the fold

This is the guy you unload the entire bag for. He is made in a lab for our offense. Can play on and off ball. Averages 5 FTA per game. Good rebounder. Good passer. Good shooter. 6'5" 195lbs. Can switch 1-4 on defense.

Cannot CANNOT let SJU get him over us.

I would love a dept pg, like a backup pg from Yale or something…. Someone who won’t expect minutes but can play without throwing up if we have injuries or foul trouble

 

[aboogieee]

It's worth noting that he attempted 321 free throws over the past two seasons, shooting 80.4% this season — and nearly as many as Diarra and Ball combined (158 to 169). None of our guards reached 100 FTA this season, and that was something we really lacked.

 

[Ewekon]

I think our search starts and stops here for our guard slot. I hope he sees how Pitino just loves his guys like Luis and Kentucky and Pope are much to do about nothing. At some point you hope the transfers value the learning experience and training for the next level as the bag itself.

As Shakespeare rolls in his grave.

 

[Ewekon]

But he can penetrate and score at the hoop. We really needed that this year.

McNeeley got to the hoop a lot. He often missed when there.

 

[Fatroony5]

Need eyes on Capital grille tomorrow. Need to know what players are at dinner & what he orders. If he goes surf & turf, we’ve got it locked up.

“Things are off and running in the Silas Demary sweepstakes. The highly touted Georgia guard with two years to play has heard from many of the top schools in the country and is now headed out to take his first two visits.


Per a 247Sports source, Demary will start his week at St. John's being on campus on Monday and then is will head to see Danny Hurley and the UConn Huskies.”

Pitino looks like he smells like oyster crackers and aqua velva. And spits when he talks. Lock him up blue!!!

 

[husky99]

Not a bad breakdown

 

[CL82]

So if my team is UConn and I am worth say $25B. Writing a check for $10M a year or is .0004% of their over all wealth. I mean if it was me and I was the guy with $25B thats a check I am writing every year.

Then I am in favor of you having $25 billion.

 

[CL82]

we should have a mole in there.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I’ll take one for the team and eat at Capital Grille if anyone wants to pay…

 

[ec33]

Not a bad breakdown

Tall guard, that is a good passer, but occasionally loose with the ball? They really do want a Tristen Newton replacement.

 

[boog204]

Not a bad breakdown

Skipped through vid and saw him successfully inbound the basketball for a layup. So, obviously, he is an absolute must-get.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

I would argue that the money is and should be much more important than the aesthetic appeal of the campus.

I'm talking about coaching, development, teamwork, etc. The player has to be a UConn culture guy or the whole thing fizzles (i.e. Kansas State).

 

[3rdbass]

McNeeley got to the hoop a lot. He often missed when there.

Yeah that was why I made the distinction penetrate and score at the basket.

 

[Shabazzkets]

So this is officially the time of year when we all decide a player very few of us watched all year is the one and only guy who can save UConn from mediocrity? Got it.

Seriously, from stats and measurables alone, he seems a good fit…but I’m sure that he’s not the one and only savior of UConn hoops. I won’t let myself get carried away with portal recruiting. If Pitino or some NIL rich program lands him, it’s just on to the next guy.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

But let's consider Liam was elite getting to the line off of his drives (he got to the line 127 times even though he lost a month of games as opposed to Karaban's 99 and Ball's 74) and converted at a rate of 86% at the line.

At the end of the portal ESPN is going to put out their list of top transfers and it's going to be the biggest names from the biggest teams and by January there's going to be a bunch of guys running college basketball and there's not going to be much overlap between the two lists. It seems like that's what's happened the past few years. I can't get really invested in any of this when (a) I've never seen most of these guys play and (b) it just seems impossible to predict who's going to blow up when they go somewhere new.

And flakes on his food like parmegan.
