It would suck for Samson to come back just for us to take a transfer big to play over him.

It's year 3, his time is now. Lol

I don't think we would bring anyone in that could be more talented than him anyways. Got to let that talent play and develop.

But what if you say no to a potential impact big and SJ doesn’t develop? If there’s someone there you need to take them.

Hurley gets paid the big bucks to do that. He brought him in for a reason and spoke very highly of him his freshman year. I’m honestly not worried about him as long as he plays good minutes. He’s too talented to not be able to produce off the bench.

We basically had 3 practice body guys on the roster last year. I think at some point you live and die with the guys you expect to contribute.

@UCTitleTown is gonna be heartbroken

My in-laws are NDSU alum and my wife's dad loves Nelson.

Pretty cool that his only D1 offers out of HS were from UND and NDSU. His production at his 450 enrollment high school was bonkers, but, naturally, how it compared to high-end competitive was in question. Basically, Nelson was just a really good basketball player who simply played for his middle-of-nowhere HS. Gotta love it.

I’m mostly worried about an injury. (Knocked on wood)

He brought him in as a project - someone who has the physical attributes but was rather raw on the talent side. The kid has been consistently injured and when he did play he tended to foul a lot. I agree that IF he was to remain healthy from day one he probably could have developed into a productive contributor. At this point, if there is someone who is healthy and is a big who has played more than a handful of games with some decent numbers you have to take him off the portal. I am afraid that SJ may be snake bitten.

While I would agree he came to UConn a little on the raw side, I wouldn't call him a project. He was ranked around 50 by most (see him at a composite #47 here) and recruits that high aren't typically "projects".
 
Another Matt Veretto-esque player available in the portal:



Like Veretto, Hall is from CT (Willimantic), is a stretch forward and took extensive time off from organized basketball after their first seasons of D1 (Hall last played at Evansville during the 20-21 season).

All signs pointing to Tre Mitchell ending up at Kentucky.

If true, 100% perfect fit. Antonio Reeves is their only upperclassman and with Aaron Bradshaw in danger of missing the start to the season (foot injury), there is a dire need for size.

Even without the Bradshaw injury, PF is Kentucky's biggest need as their biggest non-bigs (how many times can I correctly use big in a sentence?) are five-star wing Justin Edwards (6'7 180) and three-star freshman Jordan Burks (6'9 190).

Long story short: Mitchell would be a perfect plug-and-play 4 for Kentucky and could also play 5 in a pinch, should Bradshaw need more time to recover from his injury.
 


In terms of fit, Seton Hall and Georgetown are the best Big East landing spots for Toussaint.

Seton Hall has Richmond and Dawes as starters, but a lack of experience in the backcourt behind them. Considering Sha likes bigger rotations, Toussaint should reprise a similar role at Seton Hall.

Currently, Georgetown's PG looks to be redshirt freshman Rowan Brumbaugh, who is my pick to be Georgetown's breakout performer this year, but it would be wise to add a savvy vet like Toussaint to help ease in Brumbaugh's PT. On my count, Brumbaugh is the only true PG on Georgetown's roster as Heath and Epps are more CGs/SGs.

Why do I keep hoping Nahim will somehow come back & become a Husky again? That hurt when he left- he scored a lot of baskets & played good defense which kept the the championship run going

It’s no coincidence that right after our 2-6 run both he and Joey got their games going. But Alleyne even more so. He started making shots consistently and his confidence jumped a few levels. He was already playing very good defense but it showed even more when his offense became a factor. Really wish he had stayed.

Yeah. But I think he chose St John’s for NIL as much as he did for role. Get your bag Naheim

Pitino has 18 scholeys. :rolleyes:
 
As expected. Home run pickup for Kentucky as Mitchell is exactly what they need: a skilled veteran with size.

Huge last few weeks with Reeves returning and Mitchell committing. Two schollies still open too.
