He is a player that has evolved offensively and his on ball skills and defense is the reason I called him one of the key returning players last year .We want Hass back. He’s our biggest recruit.
I think AK will know before the deadline whether he’s withdrawing from the draft.How many 4's that are of the type you wouldn't mind seeing get minutes at UConn sign in May and what is left come June?
These are things the staff has to evaluate against what they believe the chances that Karaban returns (and their knowledge is far better than ours).
First quote summarizes the type of player i love to get
"He is an elite processor". Hurley/Murray's FIBA/Carril offenses have alot of "run/pass" options depending on switches/d positioning, which guys like AK and Cam thrived in. The heady high IQ player is becoming the new UConn brand, and i just love that. Sounds like Aidan will help to keep that going
Kentucky fans are claiming that Trilly was saying on his Discord that UK refused to counter the offer that UConn gave Mahaney in NIL, but I don't sub to Trilly's discord so I'm not sure if it's legit.
This roster is so deep, we could play 40 minutes of full court pressure defense if we so wanted without tiring out our guards. Other teams will be exhausted just looking at our bench.
Just pointing out where it says “not done yet”
This is 100% correct. Besides the coaching staff, know one else really knows what the next moves will be or what decision trees the coaching staff has.Everyone: UConn must be done now with roster moves.
Hurley until his roster is set exactly how he wants it to his staff and people around the program. View attachment 100247
They are either re-assessing what the roster needs post McNeeley and Mahaney commitment or calling Brea on his priorities (proximity to NYC and winning in his last year vs. money).I think AK will know before the deadline whether he’s withdrawing from the draft.
No speculating on current players moving on.
“You better get us now” has Ben replaced with “Good luck with that”
Absolute facts. They also think that no matter what they are getting the player, or the coach. Rich Eisen had it correct when he said it was somewhat insulting to assume that the moment a coach reached the pinnacle of success they somehow “graduate” to the level of being Kentuckys coach. Kentucky has history and has consistently been close to the top of the sport, but UConn is lateral, or up, if you are talking today. UConn is now, and everybody needs to take notice.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.

Dauster and Goodman seemed to believe he would play a lot of point with a key rotation between Mahaney, Diarra, and Ball, with Nowell playing more spot minutes, at least to start.
