What does this mean? NBA or UConn for fatts I think?

God I wish I was young again. I have no earthly idea what that Instagram conversation means.

Yes that’s what it insinuates

FWIW, Fatts would likely be immediately eligible pending a few online summer classes.

Dan Hurley would become the most hated man of all time in Rhode Island if he took Fatts.

 

[king conn]

If Fatts can play next year take him!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Yes that’s what it insinuates

Do we want him? A sub 6’ guard isn’t high on my wish list.

Smh you obviously haven’t watched this kid play

Yes, we want him. I'll take Sanogo over him though. Four years of a legit 6'10" 250 lb rebounding machine with an offense. We haven't had a prospect like him since Calhoun.

He can shoot the rock, great handle, was 2nd in the country in steals. He is terrible finishing at the rim though. Less than 40% from the field.

If he could be willing to take on a smaller role here, I'd sign him up in a second.

Edit: I posted these stays before. From p5/top 25 opponents this season.

Some people here only want Lebron I swear.

I certainly don't expect it to happen but would be a pretty direct replacement for AG and CV if it was Fatts and Martin

 

[UConnSwag11]

We need a big now

 

[tjc1888]

I don‘t know where he is going and will not pretend to, but I was told that SH was never much of a player here.

I will say that I find the Nebraska stuff.....odd. Odd is never good in recruiting.

are you talking about sanogo? SH isn’t a player?

I don’t think Nebraska was a player for Martin. And Martin has already committed when you posted.

Agreed. Was a weird post.

Would love to hear how the boneyard justifies Fatts playing the four!

 

[the Q]

Jackson and Martin would certainly play a lot of four in that scenario...

 

[navery12]

Jackson and Martin would certainly play a lot of four in that scenario...

Which is exactly why I want it

 

[bigknight3]

Didn't we had have a 15 pages thread that said Martin mentally checked out and wanted the transfer because Fatts was too much of a ball dominant high usage player and Martin's abilities weren't maximized in URI.

Now you guys are suggesting we bring them both in to play here?

We need a big now

We need a BIG yesterday.

Yes, it’s been a wild ride on here lately.

Except they(Fatts and Martin) initiated it. Someone made that up as a reason why he left

fatts would only be here next season while martin is redshirting

From the URI message board:


Several negative comments have been made about Tyrese’s defense......

I found Tyrese fun and interesting to watch on defense. The camera doesn’t catch this on TV, but when you are court side you see how players go at one another

Nobody on URI trash-talks as much as Tyrese, but it is between him and his man on the floor. They talk from a short distance away, sometimes a very short distance. They dint often look at one another, you only see their lips moving much of the time. It’s not so easy to see if you are not looking for it, but it’s definitely there. Tyrese is very intense on his man to man defense and gets in his opponents head. I like that in him.
He doesn’t complain with the Referees much which I really like in players - let the Head Coach handle the referees. He appears to most fans to be quiet on the court and he is also quiet on the bench.
He is an excellent rebounder for a shooting guard (or small forward, 3, 4, wing, whatever anyone wants to call him), but he gets position, uses his size, his determination and his talent to rebound with the best of big men.
I wish he had stayed here, I think he will be missed a lot these next two years and wish him the best wherever he goes, except for one school out of 352 (da fryuzzzzz)

Meh, only 34% career from 3...we need a better shooter

 

[bigknight3]

That's if they transfer rule doesn't go through (which we're not expecting now) or a waiver isn't approved (who knows)...

Thanks for clarifying.
