UConn has not reached out to Noah Locke, per Zags.

The fact that we’re not involved with more point guards in the portal is interesting. I wonder if we already have something in the works for the PG spot.

They can all handle the ball and run the point. We don't need a true pass first PG. We just need guys who can handle the ball and create offense. They all do that

It's like some people think this is still the 90s or even 00s. Point Guard isn't the position it used to be for teams running a modern motion offense. Ben Gordon would absolutely be PG in the modern game.

I understand basketball. But you still need guys that can handle the ball with pressure and run an offense. Carter seems more like a wing to me in the Tyrese mold. Richard definitely doesnt seem like a guy who would handle the ball much. Not sure on Ramy...but got the idea he was more of a shooter than a creator.

We absolutely need someone to run our offense. Not just a scorer. Good luck getting our best players the ball without a true playmaker(besides Andre, who can’t be the only one).

5 star PG Skyy Clark who was a Kentucky lean is now getting crystal balls for Illinois. Is the transfer market now impacting the recruiting scene? Curbelo gone, maybe Ramy to Kentucky?

He wasn’t a kentucky lean. He was a kentucky commit who then decommitted and has now committed to Illinois

Or both.

I only watched a few highlight videos of Young, but definitely seems like he plays off ball a lot with a lot of spot-up shooting. They played off their center a lot on offense in a Princeton-style. So like Llewellyn, hard to get a feel for how much of a PG he really is. I'm putting him in the off-ball/combo spot for now, but at 6'1", ideally we'd get him and a bigger PG like Newton. I don't think it works with Bonham for example.

Rough priority ranking for me personally (* means we've been connected).

Points:
Newton*
Sears
Bonham
Pinson
Curbelo*
Sessoms
Ituka
Trammell
Davis*

And then for the combos/wing guards:
Pack (not gonna happen)
Young*
Dawes*
Richard*
Ramey*
Boum
Reeves*
Carter*
Sir'Jabari Rice
Akot
Nolley

And then Shannon is top pick that I'd take regardless of who we get at guard. I'm hoping the staff is confident on Newton, which is why we've been looking at a lot more scorers/combos than points. But some of that is just what's been available too. For example I think through Reeves is better than Pinson.

Does Hurley not value ball handling? Aside from RJ none of the kids he brought in could really handle the ball. Last year we pretty much had 1 ball handler. Unable to run the style of offense he wants which is predicated on dribble penetration. Seems like he values athleticism and toughness far more.

I heard he doesn’t value shooting either. People are talking.
