State of the Program

[Huskymagic]

Ladies and gentlemen the snowball effect from the Villanova game continues.

Minus Adams and Gilbert, the so called recruiting advantage we have had had been no better than anyone in the AAC. Adams and Gilbert have their own flaws, which mitigates any real recruiting advantage we are supposed to have over the conference.

That is being addressed for next year and needs to be continually addressed. Other than Vital, Rique, Polley, and Sid, every other plyer on this team is expendable.

I trust in Hurley, but he needs to call better timeouts and make some second half adjustments like other teams do.

Jalen Adams is hurting the team a lot due to his own deficiencies, but taking the ball out of his hands and making him a spot shooter has never been his game. This has really hurt his game and fueled his bad habits.

PS: The 3 guard lineup we play really exposes our lack of size. We get bottled up like children. Starting from next year we need to play big like the traditional Lineups we had during Calhoun.

Hurley needs better talent. 2020 & 2021 is where it starts

Nice analysis:

Kwintin Williams Commits to UConn!

Priceless

KW was his guy. Just a sloppy, sloppy post.

 

[Stainmaster]

All the Kwintin slander needs to stop. Not anyone’s fault that our 29 year old recruit didn’t develop.

No disrespect to Kwintin, I just want people who read Huskymagic's analysis to be forewarned about the source.

He’s the most delusional poster on the board.

Jalen and AG haven't panned out. So no advantage.

 

[MDHuskFan]

I was exaggerating & being sarcastic more for effect. The nature of it is that he wasn’t really a prospect at all. He was a grown man when he got here with limited actual basketball experience. Idk why people had high hopes for him.

There is almost impossibly stiff competition for that title...

Admittedly, it’s a high bar. He has earned it.

 

[Robertelamin]

I agree. There needs to be an 8 member playoff for the most delusional poster championship.

 

[tcf15]

Disappointed. No lame hashtag.

 

[Stainmaster]

Disappointed. No lame hashtag.

He kept the "PS" in though, you gotta give him some credit for that.

 

[CTBasketball]

We are the top destination for recruits in this conference. 3/5 of our top recruiting class transferred because of the HC, Mamadou has the purple heart, and Vital is trying. This is why we have a lack of talent right now.

He is often the most wildly incorrect. Delusional... thats a different list.

Fair point. But his lack of any conscience about his history points to some level of delusion, or amnesia.

Gilbert is where basically every star point guard at UConn has heen early in their career. He is a total stud and will get there.

Don't want to hear another word about how Jalen has unfairly had the ball taken out of his hands. He's had a million chances to be the man and he has never come through. It's Gilbert's team and we will deal with the headaches because there should be light at the end of the tunnel with him.

Isn’t he a kid? The only guy more wrong is the guy who does the mock drafts.

Delusional... you’d need UConn Medical to dedicate a team of a half dozens doctors to solve.

AG could become legit. But he doesnt understand time and situations and that's a big concern. Handle isn't what it should be.

My point exactly. They were the only 2 highly rated recruits but because of their flaws even their supposed talent has been mitigated.

 

[Northbound]

FCKO wasn't a good talent evaluator or developer and that's a very, very bad combination - get at least one of those and you've got a fighting chance.

I suppose it's possible that he could identify talent, but couldn't sell his vision for the player or the merits of the school and program to save his life so all the quality guys that supposedly high interest in coming to Storrs are having success elsewhere.

It's a big turd sandwich for sure.

There are nuggets all over that thread.

H/T Fishy for that one.

What exposes our lack of size isn’t the 3 guard lineup. It’s our actual lack of any functional big men. Literally not one. What else could we run?

 

[MDHuskFan]

Our lack of size is due to our rosters lack of size & Dan Hurley’s inability to stretch & inflate current players on our roster. Fire him yesterday
