URI Transfer: Tyrese Martin

[campcalhoun2009]

Blah

 

[olehead]

Not on his level

Absolutely. I meant Bouk will be gone and Martin will be able to step in right away. Never would disrespect Effortless J. like that.

 

[kansashusky]

Let’s go! I can’t believe I’m in the minority here, but I think this kid will be a stud and has so much untapped potential Hurley will get out of him.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Just meh...hope I’m wrong

 

[Austin316]

Okie doke..

Looks like one down...

 

[husky429]

Anyone sneering at 13/7/1 on the kenpom #65 team is a fool. We'd be lucky to have Martin. Big guard/wing, super switchable on defense, really athletic. Yes please.

 

[Huskyfan4evr]

This is the only real video I can find of him.

He kinda has that Hurley swagger!

 

[UconnU]

I’ve come around a lot on Martin. Athletic 6’6 guards who rebound are hard to find. Only problem is that he sits a year, we have a more immediate need at guard. Have to think we use that final spot with a guard who’s immediately eligible.

 

[husky429]

A few years ago now, but a nice video of his matchup with Cam Reddish. According to the weights on TOS, he's bulked up 20-25lbs since high school. Still looks pretty cut too--great frame for putting on weight.

Dropped 31 in this game. It was years ago, but still interesting.

Have one winning season after 3 losing ones and people think we can have our pick of the litter. Martin is Jeff Goodman’s #3 non-grad transfer this offseason (one spot behind Nolley). Would be a good player for UConn.

I think the more obvious hole is at the 4. But it sort of depends on how we think the lineups are going to go, so I could be totally off.

PG -- Cole/Gaffney
SG -- Adams/Bouk
SF -- Jackson/Polley
PF -- Springs
C -- Whaley/Carlton (and maybe Springs)

Hurley is noticeably looking to go *bigger* than last year with our recruiting. Gotta figure at this point we're moving more towards our ideal lineup.

I assume Polley/Jackson will have to push to the 4 when we go smaller with Bouk or Adams at the 3.

 

[UconnU]

A premium is being put on these transfers because schools can’t properly evaluate 2021 kids. It’s a guessing game with many of them without an AAU season.

 

[UconnU]

I wonder if this is the Bouknight replacement play for 2021-22. Similar type of players stylistically.

 

[bendm]

PG -- Cole/Gaffney
SG -- Adams/Bouk
SF -- Jackson/Polley
PF -- Springs
C -- Whaley/Carlton

i still want nolley. slot him right in front of springs. we really need a stretch 4 if AJ and whaley are both starting.

(i'm sure you didnt mean to say adams is starting over bouk)

 

[campcalhoun2009]

This just seems like a guy who this board will be secretly crossing their fingers hoping he leaves in 2 years so we can open up another scholly.

This also signals that were probably not in great shape on Nolley. So forgive me for the wind being taken out of the sails a bit with this.

I think we'll get Martin and Nolley.

I wasn't thinking starters at all, just who's at the spot. But agreed... if Nolley somehow gets a waiver here, he would slide in at the 3/4 perfectly.

 

[UconnU]

I think we'll get Martin and Nolley.

That would leave us with 9 healthy players next fall. One of which is an extremely raw freshman. Kind of need someone more immediate.

 

[UconnU]

Good video of Gaffney vs Martin

I think you’ll see plenty of lineups with Jackson at the 3, Polley at the 4, and Whaley at the 5.

Polley at the 4 gives us much better floor spacing. If we can get enough rebounding out of Bouk/Jackson to make up for Polley's lack of rebounding, that could be a deadly lineup

 

[JimHurley]

I think we'll get Martin and Nolley.

We cannot go into next season with 10 guys available, one or two being guys we don’t expect to see the court much. We saw what can happen with injuries this year.

In a perfect world we get Nolley and then an immediately eligible guard or Sanogo.

That’s the lineup if no new additions are added.

PG: Cole
SG: Bouknight
SF: Jackson
PF: Polley
C: Whaley

Gaffney giving us minutes at the 1-2, Adams giving us minutes at the 2-3, Springs at the 4, and Carlton/Ferguson at the 5. I must say my outlook is a little more pessimistic if we don’t add anything for next year. Need something whether it’s a guard or big.

If he’s announcing tomorrow and Slater is saying he’s coming here then like it or not Martin is coming here. So either Nolley is coming with him or we’re getting a big man.

 

[AntG168]

If we go into the season with 10 guys but have Nolley and Martin in the fold for 2021 I’d be satisfied
