Transfer Portal

Maybe Antonio Reeves is their #1 guy. At least I hope he is

Reeves is a tough guy to get, however. Has heard from the likes of Duke, Ohio State, Alabama, Wisconsin, LSU, Florida State, Texas Tech, Memphis, Xavier, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Those are the significant ones, but oh man, if we could land him I'm all for it.

Reeves and Newton would be a great haul. Would see a starting lineup of Newton, Reeves, Hawkins, Jackson, Sanogo. With Floyd, Karaban, Akok/Johnson, Clingan off the bench. I like that

This is a fun tool at Bart Torvik’s website.

Oddly enough, we don’t project any better with Newton and Reeves. Keep in mind that it’s too early for next season’s projections, especially since nobody’s roster is set. I obviously believe those two would improve our roster. The other weird thing is that there are players like Akok who project to have a perhaps unrealistically high offensive rating. I see where it comes from, since he had a great 3-point shooting percentage and a low turnover rate. I just don’t think it’s safe to assume he’d maintain those rates with more playing time and/or a higher usage rate. Still, it’s neat to play around with the site.

The other thing I need to keep reminding myself is that there will inevitably be more transfers in the portal. The players we eventually land might not even be in the portal yet. It’s almost foolish to get too attached to any player, yet here I am checking this thread multiple times a day.

AJax is not a starting point guard on a competitive tournament team. He can’t shoot or drive to the hoop and score. All of a sudden that’s going to change in a summer? Have ya seem his floater.. LMAFO
I can’t believe this is a consideration. This is UConn I would like to think that this fan base is familiar with what a real point guard is with our history.

Floater looked pretty darn good towards the end of the season. If you don't think he will approve on his dribble drive scoring and his shooting then you don't know AJax

This is what i am hearing.. all energy is on a true pg with an outside shot.. pass 1st and control. Looking everywhere... portal, Europe, Jr college

Most teams would kill for a trio of Sanogo, AJax and Hawkins to build around. We will be fine. All three of them do unique things, and Hawkins is legit a confidence boost a a little handle away from being the focal point of the offense.

This whole exercise is a rorschach test of how posters deal with uncertainty generally. Would not want to work with some of you.

Should we be expecting anymore outward portal movement?

Here's the list for D1 players, I made it for them.

High assist rate players in the portal shooting at least 33% from 3 with at least 2 years of eligibility left.

I mean... we used to go overseas with regularity. Hits and misses.

Doron Sheffer, Gilad Katz, Uri Cohen-Mintz, Niels Giffey, Leon Tolksdorf, Nadav Henefeld, Justin Brown. There's gotta be more I'm forgetting.

Obviously Pack is going to have blue bloods all over him, but the more good guards in the portal, the better our chances are of getting one. So keep them coming please.

 

[Improviser]

Not yet.

In a moment of horror, Verbal Commits posted on Twitter that Castle is recommitting from UConn. Then his mom jumped on and said it was not true. Her tweet was a retweet and is now deleted.

When did "recruiting over" someone become a taboo thing? Calhoun recruited over everyone.

Any player who doesn't want to play with the best and/or is worried about competition isn't a player I want.

Davis comes across as more of a backup PG than a starter to me.

doubt he'd leave a starting gig where he averaged 10 and 5.5 in 30+ mpg for a bench role

Does he have to sit out since he already transferred?
