Gotta be going somewhere that pays more or equivalent to NBA like the big from Kentucky is coming back bc he makes more than he can in NBA. L$U, Tenne$$ee, Illinoi$, etc.

Bates looked so bad when I watched but obv sky is the limit. Another year will be good for him. That and $$$ lol
 
More local CT basketball news:

Sacred Heart's two best players from 21-22 found new homes: Amity's Tyler Thomas to Hofstra and Aaron Clarke to Stony Brook.

Hofstra beat out some solid competition for Thomas:

It would almost have to be Ramy and another guy (no, not Castle) that Hurley KNEW he was bringing in that would push Floyd far enough down the totem pole where he wouldn’t be in the rotation.

being the 5th G at PC behind bynum, breed, locke, and carter is a lot more appealing than being the 6th G here behind newton, hawkins, jackson, castle, and (insert good transfer G TBD).

i'd be surprised if he even picked PC at this point never mind recommitting here (unless castle doesnt reclass AND we dont land another good transfer G)

Pure speculation on my part with no inside information. I wonder what Floyd was told about his opportunities during the recruiting process about PT by redshirting and then how those previous comments played into his thinking as he perceived-right or wrong- that he was being recruited over for the open roster spots for this years team.

If he was aspiring to play in the League at some time in the future-- His only shot based on his size would be PG.. That door was shut with Newton/Castle(now or later) at UConn.

He could have been a valuable 4 year player at UConn and made a lot of money overseas. We'll never know

I have my Grandkids down here but wish I could have watched the game. We were beaching it today pre Easter. I am with Fishy though UConn, Sports and I am there! I did enjoy a lot of hockey this year and when we were in the AAC the baseball tournament was played at Brighthouse Field in Clearwater where I live. Took in quite a few of the games - much better than having to watch the Phillies!!

PC also has a 4* guard committed named Pierre muddying up the waters even more.

interesting. as @Umami Zen said, i'd love to know what floyd was thinking last week and even more so what he is thinking now.

if he still commits to PC with 5 other Gs on the roster then leaving here was more than a bball decision.

Well his dad has been going at fans on Twitter who dare to speak negatively about his son and said he’ll remember what Andre said the other day (possibly deleted that tweet after). So that gives you a hint as to who is in his ear during all this.

If he's smart.. He shouldn't consider UConn.. He'd be coming off the bench.. Better opportunities elsewhere for him

At 6'9 he can prob play the 4. He would absolutely start for us if healthy

I believe it's his Uncle, who's Tate George's brother.. They're disappointed but said the decision was Corey's

I am not a Twitter guy.. But.. I do know that when a player has a Dad who was relatively successful at the college level-- Don't you always want your son to exceed your experience by getting to the League?? I don't know what Dan Hurley said to get Corey to come to UConn during the recruitment process.. But I do think that Corey and his Dad expected Dan Hurley to deliver on PT in Corey's freshman year. When it appeared that that may not happen--because of perceived "recruiting over".. Portal time

I am confident that Corey will enjoy a successful college career with the right program. Wish him well

Watched him a few times really talented but doesn’t shoot it all that well from anywhere and his personality is not a fit. Acts like an idiot at times, maybe back to Izzo like originally?

He needs to go to a much more structured program. Memphis and Penny were doing absolutely nothing for his development, but I’m not sure he’ll get the freedom that he and his family want from a better coach.

I believe that was Corey's Uncle, actually. Who, ironically enough, was Tate George's brother.

The uncle was supportive of Corey after the decision to transfer...but that doesn't mean he necessarily wanted him to transfer. That decision appeared to be of Corey's making.

It's too bad that things got testy with Andre recently. I was hoping CFJ might reconsider his portal decision. Now, probably not.
