Wow, kid visiting Illinois campus tomorrow, possibly means AK going pro if Hurley reaching out.

You'd have to think the staff has a sense of where the lean is, yes. Tea leaves certainly pointing.

It's difficult to see a replacement at this point.

If Hopkins can stay healthy he makes a formidable addition to HOF coach Pitino's team. Not looking forward to playing them. Hopkins is a true gamer and leader. He'll make a good combination with him on the floor and Pitino on the sidelines. We can expect all out rock fights with them.

Anyone know why Georgetown is a tire fire?

Always looking forward to playing anyone because real UConn Huskies don't fret or back down - especially when one can beat up on a creep like Pitino

Wise to keep a dialogue and relationship going…no one knows what the future holds

Yes, UConn offered him. But we didn't make his final 6. Maybe he's finally ready to leave the Bay Area?

I assume a lot of those folks are either purposely transferring down or may have been pushed into the portal by their coach.

 

[auror]

Yes, the top programs are more likely to push guys out than before, but there was still scholarship yanking, forced sit out transfers, and guys not retained in the sport before. But I'm sure it does happen more often now, in part because it's not as bad if they transfer to a "worse ranked" program or down a level since they can play right away.

The market is just more efficient. If you can't play, you go down. Some come back up, and some rise up in general.

If Alex leaves and we don’t get Williams then we squandered a legit shot at a chip

I would say that at this late date, the lack of clarity is not working in our favor.

We're a great forward away from probably being #1 in the country. It's starting to feel boom or bust because this has been dragged out so long.

I would be interested if he can get a waiver thought he has played 5 years already. I doubt he gets a waiver.

 

[bendm]

Can someone talk me into Stojakovic? He seems like a bigger Mullins and we’d still need a backup 4/5

 

[HooperScooper]

Seems like he was a freshman at Marquette like 6 or 7 years ago. Would certainly fit what UConn is looking for but tough to put your eggs in that basket when he needs a waiver. What exactly is his reason for asking for a waiver?

Because he's really, really good, has a great basketball IQ, and would fit in perfectly in Hurley's system. But yeah taking him would lead to some others currently on the roster not being very happy.

 

[k-walk]

Alex really hamstrung us this offseason
