Tyrese Martin to UConn

Any news on if he plans to pursue a waiver for this year? If he does, it’ll be interesting to see how many minutes he gets. I would expect 20-25mpg range something along the lines of Adams last year.

He posted a screenshot in the thread that must be from a PM because it doesn't show up when you search. And also is vague and references nothing about Martin committing.

In fact it seems to be more about Vaughn than Martin

Thanks, somehow running the table on my predictions but all the points of reference that Chief usually relies on are different this year, due to the two injuries of uncertainty duration, COVID-19 impacts and lack of clarity on NCAA transfer rules. But, the #Chief24/7Grind continues despite all these headwinds.
I do want to reiterate that my broom is out comment was made in the context of the question regarding how many scholarships we would have to fill. Chief wasn’t disrespecting anyone.

COVID impacts are strange and will evolve. Right now everyone is understandably worried about being too far from home. So a plane ride to Nebraska or Mississippi puts family and friends at risk. SH is in the second hottest COVID hotbed in the country, is that a consideration?

Welcome to Storrs, Tyrese

I look forward to seeing what you can do driving to the hole and throwing it down

What if of those 10, 2 or 3 get injured? Like..this past year? Then you’re down to 7-8 and good luck in the Big East with 7-8 players available.

LIke this past year? How about like each of the last 4 years?

We have to have learned something from the past 4 years. The last roster spot needs to be playing next year unless we know Martin will get a waiver.

Never assume that when a coach says something he believes it's true. In this case, my guess is he wants to be as optimistic as possible so that Akok doesn't get down on himself and works as hard as he can as soon as he can.

This is exactly it. He didn't even say he thinks he'll be back by Big East play, he said Akok is hoping to be back by Big East play. Which makes sense, he needs to give him something to aim for

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

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.

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.
Expand ...

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.

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?

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