Meh. He's ridiculously streaky and doesn't shoot well from 3. Not sure this is the guy. In the last 10 games of the season he shot 10/39 from 3. He had that 27 point game, but also 3 games of 2 and 0 points in the same span. Wasn't much better at the rim either.

He'd be a lot less streaky on a team that allowed him to get real rhythm jumpers.

Teams this past season could afford to put a premium defender on him and never help off him because Butler had so little other offensive firepower.

He'd get clean looks with us.

I'd still take him as a bench guy but I think we have to be realistic. He was nowhere near the focal point of Butler's offense
 
other than the fact that he shredded us & played a real good big East tourney game, can someone explain all the Simas love? Everyone is aware he shot 28% from Deep last year right?

He should have started on that team.
 
There are well over 1,000 players in the portal. We can't be in touch with every single one of them who is a quality player.

Never said he was. He's a role player, specifically a shooter. What I am saying is his raw shooting numbers don't really tell the full story on him.
 
If lack of UConn recognition on any of these social media "releases" is any indication of schools reaching out to the portal guys-- We must be either locked in on some guys or still waiting for a Program fit. The decommits are the wild cards aside from the portal guys.

Next week will be pretty interesting.

In my opinion Sears is in the top 3-5 of available PGs and we probably don't have much shot at 1 or 2 of the others, so he's in the top 3 I think we should have offered.

It's possible staff knows he's not interested or whatever already, but still disappointing.

I suspect a lot of schools that aren’t listed contacted someone and found out they aren’t what the player is looking for so they don’t show up in these lists. Geography, school culture, there are lots of reasons to transfer other than basketball.
 
Only gonna pay attention when they cut their list and include UConn..no need to pay attention until then

He has a really nice shooting stroke and took a lot of difficult shots because Butler’s offense stinks. I think this is one of those cases where the 3p% doesn’t tell the full story. He wouldn’t be the lead guy but he’s someone who looks like they would develop into a really good player
 
LSU has 11 players in the portal. Zero returning players.

Based entirely on his recruiting ranking.

Yeah it's a recruiting website, they're going to emphasize recruiting evaluation.

He still might have a top 30 potential in general, so I'm not sure they're necessarily wrong, though.

Last night, Bobby Hurley snared the Cambridge bros:
  • Desmond Cambridge, 6'4 180 5th from Nevada, 16.2p, 37 3p%
  • Devan Cambridge, 6'6 215 4th from Auburn, 5.3p, 3.6r
And then this...



Seems like the Hurley bros are polar opposites on how they are building teams. For example, the top-four minutes guys in their backcourt were all transfers.
 
If some kid on the puke squad were smart, he'd transfer to syracuse, then transfer to nova or Iona or kentucky. then he could write a book someday saying he played for 3 or 4 iconic college coaches, not that I personally agree with the classification. or go into coaching. play the long game.

This could be a big one. We were in on him a couple years ago

I'm assuming this is Nolley, based on the timing of my news feed.

Even in a "down year", Nolley averaged 9.8p, 3.9r, 2.8a, 2 to, 0.9s, 41.4 2p%, 33.6 3p% (about 40% shots are from deep) and 79.5 ft% with 2.5 attempt/game in 26.6 mpg.

After a season with so much attention on Cole, I'm all about acquiring another good distributing wing to play the 3 or 4. If you have a lineup with PG/Hawkins/Jackson/Nolley/Sanogo, you have four very capable passers. It also gives you the flexibility to acquire more of a scoring PG rather than a PG who is more of a distributor...

Heck yeah, I'd be interested.

He looks exactly like Cole 2.0.

It was Nolley, not sure why the tweet was deleted
