UConn and the Transfer Portal

[auror]

Hopefully Nick Jones is a fan of Hurley.

Well good news on that front, he live tweets through games:

 

[Scrutineer]

Haven't heard anything but he's pretty high on people's list of transfers. Stats and highlights indicate he's a good passer. Hard to tell how his D is; he's pretty slight.

The big guard Dan Hurley loves to have?

 

[Scrutineer]

The dude can ball and love his motor, footwork and energy. And can shoot 3s. Sanogo v2?

Now we're talking.........a bigger AS who already shoots three's!

 

[UCFan1513]

Our own Grimace?

I love that this is catching on

 

[Horatio]

Sky Clark
Otega Oweh
McNeeley
Wolff

That won't be an easy one. Interesting thing is that Cade Tyson and Christ Essandoko played on the same AAU team. Hopefully Nick Jones is a fan of Hurley.

Seems like he should probably be weighing the draft. Not sure it would be worth it for us to jump into that kind of bidding war.

I think his inconsistent shooting ensures his return. That slump while we kept winning was actually good if it keeps him here.

Let's hope Karaban and others break out of their 3 pt shooting slump for the next 2 games with a fury.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Think I noticed something interesting. He shoots righty, but seems to finish and take post shots more often with his left. He could be a tough guard if he’s comfortable with both hands already.

Another 7’ kid hits the portal

4 The Cycle is a dummy. He is wish casting. The “eyes” (which are lame to begin with) referred to Skyy Clark.

I have no idea who he is but seems to always portray knowing something but I’ve never seen him break anything with knowledge.

He is without a doubt the worst of the UConn twitter-verse. He's been consistently wrong on transfers and recruits so I wouldn't put an ounce of thought into that one

Ya I don’t think I’ve seen him with 1 right but he acts like he’s a known insider lol

He was the first to call Newton a couple years ago though. Although he also called Courtney Ramey in the same tweet....and we ended up with Nahiem in that spot.

The Christ kid is interesting. I wouldn't mind him as a developmental big, but certainly don't think we should be taking him and think he will be in our 2 deep at the center position. He looks like he has some skills, but the injury history and the fact that he's huge but plays below the rim worries me a bit.

 

[nomar]

He's obviously not a rim-shaker but I like what I see. The footwork, the Sanogo-like shot from 3, the passing...

This isn't Eric Cobb. He's a legit Big East caliber player.

 

[auror]

Those highlights are jaw-dropping! How did this guy only average 8 points a game?

He played half the team's minutes and turned it over on roughly 1/4 of his possessions.

 

[nomar]

We need like an unselfish 6’5 guard who plays within structure and shoots over 37% from 3.

I saw someone on social media saying Cam Spencer can push his eligibility fight even further by suing the NCAA and they will likely just grant him eligibility?

If I'm Cam, I'm going pro now. Somebody's going to give him a chance; if he doesn't get drafted, he'll be invited by 20 teams to play summer ball.

Even if he puts up 25 ppg next year, it's not going to make him young or an explosive athlete. People like what they see, they see his brother (who played 1 year of college ball) succeeding, and he's on everybody's mind as a winner.

I prefer to see the glass as 3/4 full

Get the kid into the School of Tom Moore and he'll be a star

Keep an eye out for the name Cade Tyson.

Duke is after him

 

[Umami Zen]

Will be interesting to see if Goldin follows Dusty to Michigan.. No mention of Wolf so assuming there is no mutual interest. Christian Reeves looks like he could be a contributor in our system.

I liked what Pop did for TT. Made them way better than anyone thought they would be. Kind of like what Cam did for Rutgers the year before.

Keep Pop Isaacs 1000 miles away from UConn, for numerous reasons.

Everyone is. Major #'s, NBA brother.

Dusty is going in home with Wolf. Word from the Michigan board is it’s almost a done deal and that Wolf almost walked on there coming out of high school.

Going to be interesting to see if Goldin wouldn’t mind the competition or if they think they can play together.

I really don't get how Scheyer plans to keep recruits happy. I really want to see who else leaves Duke this summer.

Really like Essandoko too. My dilemma with him is that I don’t view he or Johnson as starters next year. Essandoko is better and has a way higher ceiling IMO, but he needs some development for sure.

McNeeley isn’t a transfer

Keep Pop Isaacs 1000 miles away from UConn, for numerous reasons.

Did some digging after a reply and now I get this sentiment lol. I just loved his game in HS and thought he was asked to do too much this year offensively (aka I thought his shot is better than his % indicates)
