Whose our leader next Year?

[amidagoat]

IMO it's gotta be Whaley. His work ethic and toughness is a good example to the younger players. Does anyone know what RJ Cole is like personality-wise?

 

[BuffaloHusky]

My sense is RJ was specifically brought in to lead this group.

 

[JimHurley]

The guy Hurley described as a quarterback.

 

[Fishy]

Me.

With my high post to like ratio, I am ideally positioned to guide the team through next season.

 

[Huskybass]

RJ doesn't already have 415 assists by accident. He is Hurley's coach on the floor, Gaffney his apprentice.

 

[InKembaITrust]

Its gotta be RJ followed very closely by Gaffney.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Emotional leaders will be a mix of Cole/Whaley/Adams/Vaughn.

You are so 2000s.

 

[UconnU]

RJ and Jalen for sure

Not sure there will be only one but Bouk will take a leadership role

He'll be their best player but he doesn't seem like that kind of person. Not sure there's a sure fire answer to this question.

Usually has to be a starter who plays a lot of minutes (hard to lead a team in crunch time from the bench).

Usually should be someone who's played with the team a couple years. Doesn't have to be but I think it helps. El-Amin came right in and was a leader, but they have nobody like Khalid. Which is why I am skeptical that either Bouknight or Cole will take that role.

Remember how Bazz struggled his sophomore year to lead the team? Was better at it junior year and was really good at it senior year.

We'll have to see but it would definitely help if someone took those reigns.

gaffney, on the floor, and mebbe adams, in the huddle. or gaffney in the huddle, too. I have a strong belief that one sideways glance from that kid, about hoopin,' is more than enuf to set straight a teammate. quiet thunder. good thread question.

Don’t kid yourself. This is our leader moving forward.

Galen Gafney has all the tools.Love his unselfishness and skill set.
Don't know anything about Cole.

I love how guys who aren't even on the team will be our emotional leaders.

 

[UConn3432]

BA made a huge leap this past year. He’s definitely being overlooked and I think he takes on a much larger role on this team and a lot of the leadership burden.

 

[JimHurley]

Don’t kid yourself. This is our leader moving forward.

No questions asked!

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Bouknight. It’s his team. Down the home stretch of the season when the games matter, like all the great players before him he’ll take over leadership and drive the team.

 

[Ratso]

danny hurley

 

[Jaker]

Carlton!

 

[AntG168]

I think Whaley is being slept on as an emotional leader and defensive anchor next season. Add on he’ll be a senior. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him named one of the team captains

 

[navery12]

Vaughn might struggle to lead our guys next year

 

[StepbackCity]

Carlton!

Hahahahahahaha. Woo boy.

 

[RF79]

The starting PG which will probably be RJ Cole. They’re supposed to be an extension of the coach on the floor.
