Weird Jalen Gaffney comment

[Wordbomar]

"That was definitely a big pitch to me was playing time... Jalen Adams is leaving, possibly Alterique and Christian Vital leaving, so it's a great opportunity to me to play next year."

Theyre not leaving. Its not a weird comment. Its a hs kid trying to think of something to say to a stupid question.

Oh.

Vital doesn't surprise me if he left. Only so many years to earn $ anywhere hooping. Al....kinda needs to prove himself some more?

 

[RichCTBB]

I can’t imagine Alterique wanting to transfer and sit another year. He’s missed so much already

 

[husky429]

Hot takes galore

Wouldn’t be surprised if CV left for G-league or Europe, etc. Would be surprised if AG went anywhere.

I thought he said Aqib Talib.

I bet Alterique is like wait...what is Hurley saying about me? If Alterique has a great year next year and graduates, I'd bet on him going pro even with the understanding that Europe is the destination.

CV already declared once so it won't be shocking but I expect him to stay. It looks like he and Hurley have really taken a liking to each other. CV has improved so much under Hurley's tutelage that one more year of development should be a reasonable sell.

Wouldn’t read much into it.

Kofi said something similar in which AG was supposed to be going to the NBA after this year. It’s just a selling point to attract recruits.

It’s 12:05 eastern so... Wednesday’s UConn head scratcher is covered.

I would be very surprised. I think CV is buying into Coach Hurley's system and will end up being a 4 year player at UConn.

 

[whaler11]

And yeah he’s talking about the PT available if Gilbert and Vital leave. Does he want to play 38 minutes in a team that goes 11-21?

 

[CAHUSKY]

Every player thinks they are going to the NBA next year. 1% of them really are. Neither are going anywhere but it’s a great recruiting pitch for Hurley pretending that they are.

 

[superjohn]

They aren't going anywhere.

Probably didn’t mean at the end of this season.
