Transfer Portal Starting to Load (do NOT mention ANY current UConn player until Apr 9)

[Icehawk]

Him being a Native American got me to wondering if the CT tribes and the casinos could get involved with UConn's NIL programs or is that not allowed due to gambling?

Saw an ad last year when I was out in WA with Drew Timme advertising a casino which kinda surprised me, I sorta expected the “sin” stuff wouldn’t be allowed but that must be leftover trauma from growing up in CT.

They're not the same tribal nation. Why would they care?

No, not that - just wondering if a player can get an NIL deal from a gambling related entity?

Guys I think I found one!




BTW, if this scrub gets anywhere near that amount for NIL, it’s more out of control than we even suspected.

That being said, he was a perfect 4/4 from 3pt this year vs the 2x defending National Champs.

I don't know the proper terminology, but Rob Reinhart guy isn't a legitimate. He is known to be BSer and no one tak s him seriously.

Yea I know it’s probably not credible, but found it funny and worth posting in this thread for the laugh value

And 7-31 (22.6%) against everyone else.

This. Painter hasn't been to a national championship game for almost 12 months now, and Shaka hasn't been ranked since what -- last week?

Yes, I do know that the college hoops world is changing, and that we live in a society that wants instant conclusions on everything, but could we allow things a little time to play out? Because I'll tell you this -- if every staff is following the same strategy, those with less resources are likely to lose.

Painter is not opposed to bringing in players from the transfer portal. Lance Jones was a nice addition to last year's team. Next year's team will be interesting with 3 of their top players returning for senior year...Painter is looking for one dynamic guard to complement current roster.

I am all in on Isaiah Coleman from Seton Hall when he hits the portal. 6'5" 190lbs. Same build as Tristen Newton. Good defender, great rebounder. Draws a lot of contact and gets to the FT line. Shooting %'s weren't great but he was taking a lot of tough shots because he literally had zero help from his teammates. Scored 16PPG in the Big East as a sophomore so you know he can play at this level.

He's gotta be our guy. Can't let Pitino swoop in and steal him to replace Kadary.

What role does he play for us? He isn't a passer like Newton who will lead the team

Trilly said a few days ago that even if UConn is interested they'll be behind Georgetown and Louisville

I think his assist numbers are a product of Seton Hall being atrocious
