Zags: Dan Hurley revving up recruiting at UConn

[intlzncster]

Has Wilson always been listed as a Guard/Forward like he is now on the UConn athletics website? A lot of people here slotted him in to start at the 4 but i think he'll play a lot more at the 2 than the 4 but mostly at the 3.

Idk. I just don't see him at the 2 very much at all given our personnel. Personally never saw him as a 4 either, as he's smaller than somebody like Daniels. Given his lesser mobility, I'd put Polley as a stretch 4 over Wilson, if that's what I was going for. I think you could get away with a Wilson/Polley/Carlton front court if that's a matchup you were looking to get against certain lineups.

His fit is quite clearly at the three.

Yea a lot of people were all hot to have Larrier at the 4 before last season. And then we did. And despite the fact that he rebounds fairly well we still got destroyed inside on both sides of the ball when we went small. Let's try not to live with string beans at the 4. We have Diarra and Yawke who can hold that spot down reasonably well. If you do go stretch, Polly's bigger than Wilson as you say.
