Recruited right over him. We will see how this works out I guess. Just to end this silliness, I was completely wrong in regards to one coach having it all figured out and the other not. The transfer portal has changed everything. Finally, Bryce Hopkins announcing today.

Any concern about Hopkins or is it basically a done deal and that's why Geeter left?

It appears to be a done deal and why he left although I certainly don’t know for sure. I’m disappointed because I really wanted to see what this kid could do. It’s not like we are loaded upfront. Even after Hopkins we have 2 open ships for bigs. Apparently involved with Jalen Reed. If he came too then Geeter makes more sense.

nah, too busy wondering aboot our 'culture' here.
here's sumthin else u said,
'As a Freshman in 2019-20: Appeared in 31 games, starting 11, averaging 3.9 points and 2.1 assists with a 1.8 assist-to-turnover ratio in 19.1 minutes per game... In games in which he played more than 20 minutes, his averages rose to 6.3 points, 3.5 assists and an impressive 2.14 assist-to-turnover ratio... Had four double-figure scoring games, including a season-high 13 points against SMU (2/12/20)... Handed out a season-high 9 assists, scored 12 points and played over 40 minutes at Temple (2/20/20)... For last 16 games of season, shot .821 from foul line... Honored on UConn’s 3.0 GPA Night and named to AAC All-Academic Team.'
u know who else was accused of the 'east-west handle, often resulting in a back down move?' only one of the most formidable recent players, who collected all the hardware in his time in the cbb- colin. not to say jmoney will evolve into colin success, but at least he starts out as a pretty sharp cookie, who is almost 6'4,' and far away from his final accounting results.
the rest

Can't even keep track of the amount of wing transfers Providence has taken this year.

@FriarJ just like we have a couple that's going on the yard, what's your take on net benefit of transfers in vs players leaving (seniors or via transfer portal)?

Can you list them out? With Corey transferring in and Providence winning the corner title, how good should UConn game expect your team to be next season?

Providence has done a very nice job in the portal, but they lost Durham (13.6p), Watson (13.3p), Horchler (9.9p), Reeves (9.9) and Minaya (6.5). That's five of their top six minutes guys, three of which average 33.2 mpg+.

Based on that, I can't imagine any Providence fan calling this a net gain, especially for the 22-23 season. For 23-24 and beyond, it's certainly possible, especially conditional on the developments of Floyd, Carter, Castro, etc.

However, Cooley is an excellent coach and as many here have said, Providence tends to overperform when their team is under-heralded.

UConn fans consider losing three starters to graduation/draft, and all guard depth to add a 9.6 ppg scorer, and the best player on a bad team from the conference you were DYING to get out of as a net gain. I don’t think that’s a stretch by any means.

Kenya Hunter’s son Jaylin off to Ohio

Great landing spot for Jaylin. Jeff Boals is a heck of a coach (59-33 in three seasons at Ohio) and there's a huge hole in the PG spot with Mark Sears going to Alabama.

Also, the MAC is just a fun conference in terms of their high offense, fast tempos and team's general weakness in defense.

We also have 1st team Big East, KAJ Finalist Adama Sanogo returning to pair with those transfers. What we were missing last year was a PG that could break a guy down off the dribble/score at all three levels. Newton gives us that and it will open up things for Adama, AJax and Hawk.

Cooley isn't close to an excellent coach. He's not even very good. If he was our coach this board would want the entire program burnt to the ground multiple times a day.

That's because UConn fans have national championship asperations. PC doesn't know what it takes to win a title. They are satisfied with trips to the Sweet 16

Yes...thought he was a 3. By wing I mean 2/3's...maybe he's more of a small ball 4 though. Don't really know his game.

He's a unique player, positionless to some extent. PC has shown to have an outstanding strength and conditioning program and he needs to work a bit on his body to take his game to the next level. He is going to be a very good player for us.

Yet he managed to win the 2022 Big East Coach of the Year and Naismith National Coach of the Year awards.
 
It’ll be nice when we can inevitably refer to last year as “that year you guys made the sweet 16”.

“Wait, you mean with Austin Croshere?”
“No, the other time you guys made it, when you gloriously beat South Dakota St and Richmond.”

Cooley has been a solid coach for a long time & his trajectory continues to rise- think any program would be in a good spot with him at the helm- which as a whole- not sure how many coaches in the nation you can say that about.
