Transfer concern?

IndyLives said:
If Danny cant leverage this huge run in the Tourney with top-talent transfers, we are in big trouble...

We lost the national championship game one week ago. To even be talking about big trouble is so beyond premature ....

One more point -- with everyone being a free agent every year on year to year contracts, there will be some years when even the best programs have really down years. That is inevitable. I don't want next year to be a subpar year for UConn, but there will be some years where you lose targets you want too late for a good backup plan to be affected. Be ready for it.

I don't have any inside information other than the rumblings we've all seen, but I'm feeling very confident we'll be quite happy about who ends up returning next year. Once that is settled, we can go all in on transfers. Which according to SC, we're in a great position to land some big ones. I trust this staff, they know what they're doing

As a general matter, a poster can't assume a post won't be read literally. I accept blame for this when I post something and folks don't get it. In this case, however, I agree with you that it's hard to believe anyone could have taken that post literally.

Who are you hoping for personally? The team the group of guys that can complete this team?

The guys who go for the money are prioritizing life. This may be their one big opportunity for a life changing score. Let's not pretend that these players are scholars on the way to the Supreme Court or stars on their way to the NBA Finals. Most will get Mediocre jobs or have to leave the country. Or worse, get injured. Even a half a million is huge money when you come from nothing.
GO FOR IT GUYS. IT MAY BE YOU LAST BEST CHANCE.
 
I wonder if the European players are hard to coach "hard", Hurley style etc. With the stacking of Actions and continuous movement, you would think the elite European players would be attracted to the Program.
 
I would think UConn's 'budget' is whatever we need to pay, or close to it. This is the new reality of NIL I believe. We have to be competitive with the other top ten to fifteen programs, and yet still get 'our guys' that fit the program and culture.

Hurly has a process and it takes some time.

Well Mullins was a five star so maybe you add a sixth for his first year in college and presto he's sticking around for another year..?

Donnie Freeman is a player, can score from anywhere on the floor. No stretch 4 here, Freeman has some power to his game. Good size and weight for the position, listed at 6'9 230, 2 years of eligibility.

Says he's not a stretch 4, posts video of player making lots of 3s. 😀

Got me there.

Some other definitions have been floated on here inaccurately I guess such as a player being undersized to play the 4 hence a stretch 4. I was never really sure which was the correct and singular definition.

It is obvious Luke Murray was the brains of the operation. He leaves and the remnants of our to coaching staff are lost. It is too bad he couldn't have written up some notes like "Retain Silas, Solo, Ball, Stewie, Ross, and Reibe. Get another center and some eastern European dude to replace AK."

But no worksheet and Danny already lost Reibe. Total circus now.

Can confirm. I was teaching on campus today, was walking around enjoying the warm spring day, saw Hurley with his head against the side of the parking garage across from Werth, mindlessly walking into the wall like an NPC in your favorite video game.

Kimani was up by the courts behind the Jungle, scouting guards in a random pickup game.

Nardi was in the Student Union, couldn’t make a decision about a 6” or 12” sub. Whispered in his ear we need bigs so he should order the foot long.

Tom Moore was wandering around Downtown Storrs, looking for Geno’s restaurant.

We’re in deep trouble.

Looks good. Unless someone is having some kind of medical trouble and requires an ambulance.

Maybe it should have concluded with a single “doomed.”

Why would you even question someone with the handle 'Mr '?

At this point from doing the shows he knows people. I don't know if he gets info from people, but he definitely gets info from people who know people.

To AK's point, a player like Freeman (as a former 5-star) should be focusing more on who gets him to the league (and the big money) more than who is paying him a couple of million dollars more over the next two years.
