Karaban is the team’s “brain center” or whatever and therefore the most important player/piece for a possible 3peat. We’d still be really good without him. BE favorites but I wouldn’t be dreaming of a 3peat unless we brought in another transfer.
Yes, why not?
Probably Brea would be a deterrent. They are both 6th man of the year commodities. I'd hope Hassan would be able to win the PG spot, but it isn't guaranteed.
Good lord these quotes.
We’re thinking the same thing from those comments about Hurley, right?
Please don’t wake me from this wonderful dream…
We need them for linkage to the last two championships. Without them SJ is the only returner who played significant minutes. That's quite a roster turnover.
Aidan gets it. He’s joining the family for all the right reasons. We’re happy to you."I chose UConn because I want to compete for national championships," Mahaney said. "UConn is a place that keeps the main thing the main thing. The coaching staff has proven themselves to be the best in the country the last two years. Offensively with Luke Murray, I'll be in a different system that should allow my game to grow even more. And defensively with Kimani Young, I'll be challenged to become the best I can be. Coach Hurley will push me to be the best player I can be and I can't wait to pick his brain and the rest of the staff. Every subsection from managers to grad assistants and DOBOs all work incredibly hard and are detailed down to a T with everything.
"I chose UConn to be pushed, to be a part of something bigger than myself, to compete for a national championship and to become a pro."
UConn lands Saint Mary's transfer Mahaney
Saint Mary's transfer Aidan Mahaney, one of the best available guards in the portal, has committed to UConn, he told ESPN.www.espn.com
Those dummies don’t know jack.
We’re not close to repeating again unless Karaban and Diarra come back, they are crucial. I hope they know that too.
No joke, right? They were posting on Rupp Rafters and bragging about how they could pay more for anyone (coaches and players) than "UConn's flat pockets". SMH
All while taking shots at UConn for being too poor to afford Brea.
He'll play but I just don't see him as a total stud right away and starting right away like some on the board think. It takes time for a freshman point guard. Diarra and Mahaney are battle tested. Ball will get a lot of time at the two whether he starts or is 6th man.
Yep, fortunately for us they continue to believe that Kentucky on the jersey and a vault of money is all they need to guarantee titles. They have no blueprint or relevant culture that will speak to players in this era.
The players matter too…
