Will Paxton just tweeted this. He averaged 9 ppg and 3.6 rpg. I know he was mentioned here before, but will he be eligible to play this season or will he have to sit out?
 
Did he play with Larrier at VCU ? They will definitely have some stuff
in common to talk about.

Nah, and I think they even played for different coaches. That doesn't mean it's not a good connection to have though!
 
I think he redshirted freshman year... doesn't he play right away?

Not feeling too confident on getting him with the teams involved and our recent track record. Also, not sure with his questionable past at VCU if this is the player we need. He will also have to sit out a year.

Plan A: Makai
Plan B: Harris
Plan C: Waters
Plan D: Moretti
Plan E: This kid

Surely we can't miss on plan E...

I know this whole post is probably in jest, but not sure if we even really wanted Waters (seems as if we backed off) and I don't think Moretti was necessarily ahead of Doughty. We MAY have taken both, or even preferred Doughty over him (with the one caveat being that Moretti could play this year while Doughty is next year), but the timing just dictated that Moretti's visit/decision came first.

That being said, I'm still on the fence about this kid.

Even if you take waters off, we're still on plan D. Which isn't great either...

Doughty averaged 9 points on a really good VCU team last year. Not sure why anyone wouldn't want this kid, we need better talent and he's a good start.
 
Is he a tuna? If so, skipjack? Yellow fin? Or blue fin?

These are the new 'star' ratings at UConn.

5 star = blue fin
4 star = yellow fin
3 star = skipjack
2 star = albacore
1 star = Sorry, Charlie!! (But there's still room here at UCONN!!)

I'd take Doughty over Waters and the Italian kid. He's a stud and will challenge our guys in practice this year like neither of those other two dudes would.

I hope we get him. Bottom line

Solid fit, wouldn't having jalen carey, doughty, mucius/damezi anderson, and a big from the 2018 class. Theoretically Ollie is in it with a few 5 stars like reddish, simi and brown but I think Carey and a wing are must gets.

Don't forget he's definitely in a good spot with Mathis too, who is an impressive talent at the wing.

Imo no news is good news. Everyone that came here tweeted right away how much they loved it... then they don't commit. I'll take no news.

I noticed that too it is like they are trying let you down easy. Praise you before they dump you.
