Transfer Portal April 2023

[UCTitleTown]

If Newton doesn't come back, Hassan Diarra has a golden opportunity. A little more consistency on his 3 pointer (if he can get that shot to 35% with more volume) and he'll be solid. With PT he can run the offense better, and he's already there when it comes to ballhandling (too much of it, actually) and defense.

Please don't let it come to this.

He can shoot and we need shooters. If there are better ones available, then I'm all for that.

Girard is an absolute chucker and nothing more. Offense stagnated any time he was on the floor. He’s a black hole. Best transfer option for him is the 35-and-over Wednesday night JCC league in Albany.

Good thing you are here to decide which comments are dumb or smart. If you knew anything about Arkansas you would have understood why we would blow them out. Kansas was without their coach and texas crushed them twice. Anytime you want to compare w2’s let me know

Awesome.

I'll give you a hint on which posts sound dumb...

Jokes on him, I don’t get a W2!

He seems great. Terrific addition to the board.

You should compare your 1040EZ then. ‍Lol.

Unfortunately the 1040EZ form doesn't exist any more.

All About IRS Form 1040EZ

IRS Form 1040EZ was a shortened version of the IRS tax Form 1040. After Trump's 2017 tax plan, you will need to use the new 1040 form for your TY2022 taxes.

Get Joe Girard. Can make 3s and would make SU fans heads explode.

Please no. He can’t shoot a lick, his handle was suspect against real good defenders hardly could start the offense past the hash. Like the kid, can defend on occasion but if he’s more than a small piece we’re in rebuild.

X and Creighton have filled backcourt holes well.

X still has some front court work to do, if they can.

Cause picks up Chance Westry which is good for them I guess.

I like the overall sentiment here that we are happy to see our BE peers improve themselves. We always welcome the competition.

Do you think the other BE coaches--or fanbases--would be happy to see Andre Jackson back on UConn next year? I bet the coaches will poop their pants.

There are dozens of better players available than Girard, including our own freshman recruits. Let him rot somewhere else.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Bored now that basketball is over and watching the Hurley doc on showtime. (Nice RJ feature)

Apparently Xander Rice (Bucknell) is in the portal. Unsure if he’d want the role, but looks to be a good CG choice for the Joey role

I guess I could show him a K1 but I don’t know what that has to do with UConn / Arkansas.

Jabar Gaffney was useful with FAU.

Diarra is ahead of Gaffney at the same time in their careers.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Idk where to put this but Philon just decommited from Auburn. 2nd to do so in their 2024 class. Will be interesting if Tahaad decides to do the same. I’m sure staff is keepin a pulse on that situation

Why the decommits?

Funny enough Gaffney would probably be a good fit for this years team as a guy who can simply be an extra ballhandler who takes a few shots. Don’t need anything crazy from the backup PG spot. Just a Craig Austrie type.

Providence in shambles

Providence isn't in shambles as Kim English has done a good job holding everything together. However, on their forums they were excited and expecting Graham Ike to be committed to them in the same way we were expecting Nicholas Timberlake to be committed to UConn.

They have a worse roster than last year with George Mason players and an unproven George Mason coach. Please do not compare them to the National Championship Winning UConn Huskies.

We ran into salary cap issues after Dual signed.

[Scrutineer]

He shot 41% from 3 in 21-22 and 33% last season. If he averages out that would put him at about 36-37%. He can shoot

Not sure about that.
What if his trend line takes him to 25% next year and then 17% the following year?
Of course, he could always flip the trend and go to 49% next year and like Joey C mid-season to 57% the following year............
