The last time I laid out a depth chart it was
Forget IU...see Rutgers!!!
there's no bBall for 3 days plenty of time to kill
Furphy ?
I could not agree more. It's ridiculous. We won 2 straight in era where it is incredibly hard to do, made the tournament even after losing all of those great players, and we pushed what many think is certainly a Final Four team if not the national champion to the brink. We have a great coach, terrific assistants, and a basketball first school with tons of tradition. Here's a news flash, we may not win next year or even get to the Final Four. It's incredibly hard and the ball has to bounce your way sometimes. Yesterday it did not, maybe next year or the year after it will. I doubt Hurley would have stayed if he felt we could not compete. He could have gone to Kentucky where the resources are endless. I suspect he knows we can, and I have a feeling he will coach as hard as he has ever coached to get us back to the Final Four.
Based on what we’ve seen with past freshman here, I seriously doubt Furphy will be in the rotation.
Mahaney?
Yea, not interested in him joining, but thought others might be interested in Big East news. I believe last year we had a Big East Transfer Portal thread.
I am excited about Darius too but after watching him a few times I am more excited about him next year. I wish we got to see more out of this year’s recruits and hope we see something about this year
Stew isn’t coming back for 10 nor should he.
Had him starting and playing 30 minutes. I mean it's in the quoted message you responded to. Lol.
Adams is more Big East ready than Mullins is. Furphy, who has a much more developed body than both of them, is arguably more Big East ready than either as well.
Hurley is more excited about Mullins than any recruit he's ever reeled in.
I'm almost to the point that I consider all players as 'one and done', since draft and portal are available to all every year.
Adams is actually my favorite prospect of the group. I just think Mullins game will translate the easiest without needing the ball in his hands. And I’m not sure what position Adams is playing yet.
I would say the safest type of recruit in terms of not OAD is a proven transfer landing at a top program, non NBA profile and multiple years left. We did do that with Reed/Mahaney which was the right idea.
Matter of degrees. He was very bad early on. He became a usable player towards year's end. They call that progress in certain groups.
i agree, but unless I am confused (could be) your initial premise was guardian guards. My apologies if I read it wrong
It's a tough one because we aren't going to keep getting top ~30 recruits if we don't play them freshman year.
You saw him play last year against UConn. He was terrible against us. But he was early in his freshman year then.
Wasn't it 111?Ask Denham if you can’t score 101 you can’t make it in Storrs!
Is he a PG? Scouting services list him as a SF. He does seem to have facilitating skills and good basketball IQ so maybe the staff thinks he can be a PG.
You will, he is 6-6 220, will be 19 this summer and has an old man's style of game. Will be an impact player next year.
