It has seemed strange that we have been so focused on recruiting bigs, but no PGs. I'm not sure that Sam Jr. is really a point as yet, but I know he said that is where he is headed.

This year we've seen the team struggle without ball handlers. If Drummond leaves (at this point he should stay, but that's up for debate), we still have AO, Wolf and Bradley. Even if Wolf and Bradley aren't ready for serious minutes next year they do occupy scholarships. I think that we are somewhat boxed in because of apr and our lack of scholarships.

I hope he comes to UConn.

Drummond will do his basketball development a huge disservice if he leaves. As much as people over-reacted early in calling out flaws in Drummond, its abundantly clear that on offense he is not ready for the Big East much less the NBA.

Does Sam Cassell Jr also look like a cross between an Alien and a Gourami fish?
If so I'm all-in.

Sam Cassell was a great player back in the days of clutch city. Hell, he was great as he got older with the Wolves and then Clippers. His son looks like he can develop into an exceptional offensive player, would love to have him.

I loved Sam Cassell's game. He was fearless, could shoot the mid-range shot as well as anyone and was good creating and shooting the three. Just a great scoring guard. Some said he required the ball too much but he was smooth and deadly with it and loved the big shot. I thought Shabazz would be a lot like a shorter Sam but it hasn't happened yet. I still think it will.

^ wow i agree with that shabazz part. I mean, his injury notwithstanding. Last year's Shabazz reminded me of the rookie Cassell coming off the bench for the championship rockets. Three point shooting, ball handling extraordinaire, and stiffling defense. Relentless. Right now, suffice to say I have no comparison for Napier.

Can we recruit Hakeem Olajuwon Jr. and Clyde Drexler Jr too?

Can we recruit Hakeem Olajuwon Jr. and Clyde Drexler Jr too?

A while back we had the chance to get Emeka Okafor Jr. and the other AJ Price who is currently at Texas-San Antonio if I remember correctly.

I think Lil' Romeo has some eligibility left. Sign him up and we'll get our practice facility
