Diarra averaged 5.7 assists this year to Cadeau's 6.2. Cadeau also averaged 3 turnovers a game and can't shoot. And is 6 feet tall. I can't imagine there would be any interest, nor should there be. I don't think they're broken up in Chapel Hill that he's leaving.

I was talking about Dent

I know her personally, we arrived to UConn the same year in 1995. She ran track & I played football. She absolutely is the wealthiest black woman from Jamaica & she’s very wealthy. I don’t know her net worth but I’m sure she’s close to billionaire status. She’s the largest donor to athletics in UConn history. She’s good for the money she’s pledge to donate!

Sounds like some wealthy former basketball players may need to step forward!!!

Big name. Probably looking for big bucks. Pure point guard. Don't remember him being a particularly good shooter. Can he play D?

Cant think of a worse archetype of a player for Hurleys system and our needs going forward. Small guard who can’t shoot & turns it over at an alarming rate. In conference play, 30% of possessions w/ him on the floor result in a turnover, woooof.

I wonder how many mid major portal kids reach or surpass their numbers when joining a p5 from their previous school. Such a different animal.

Every situation is different and numbers in one offense don’t equate to another .
A couple of years ago ECU had two good young players
The leading scorer transferred to an well known ACC team
He had averaged 15 PGG at ECU
I looked at how he did in the tougher conference and he only Averagrd 12PPG . I though maybe it was the better competition but than I remembered it was Bennett and UVA
So that might be a relative gain as a % of offense.
The other kid was named Newton , I can’t remember what ever happed to him .
As for the coach that managed to recruit these building blocks , he was fired .
I would not want to be a mid major or even low. high major coach in today’s world. The deck is stacked against you .
 


Anyone see Ricky’s young man starting to rip it up? Kid can play and he’s got length. You know where he came from for sure, could be a good one wondering if we’ve peaked in?

This is the milquetoast face on those Marriott Bonvoy commercials!

I gotta imagine his NIL package was already pretty good.

He can choose where he wants to go - any program in the country would take him and start him. Every single one. Maybe we get lucky, but I don’t like our chances given where he’s coming from.

And his asking price. This is the type of kid the staff usually stays away from.

Playing freshman does not equal not winning games.

No, that's not what I said. I asked a polite question and it deserves an answer. IF (you know what that means, right?) a coach thinks a team increases its chance of winning by not playing a highly touted freshman, should it play him anyway? And if so, what does he tell the other players as to why he is not trying to maximize the teams' chances of winning?
 
Cadeau has been a disappointment relative to his HS hype/rankings but alot of that is also probably due to Davis & the coaching staff. Look at the draft stock of Ian Jackson and Drake Powell after this season compared to when they were coming into UNC, they're also underperforming.
