I’ll never understand how offensive talent looks at Virginia and says “I want to be part of that”

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Not feeling great. Let’s be honest, he’s the most Creighton player imaginable.

He’s also taking at least 2 visits after creighton

 

[KemBuckets21]

So he’s visiting UConn and VA. He’s already visited creighton. Has already visited or will eventually visit Florida Kentucky and USC? The post reads like he’s visiting these schools
But these other ones are the schools he’s actually considering.

Yeah it’s not very clear. I thought you got 5 visits So that would be Creighton, UVA, UConn and 2 of UK,UF,USC or maybe he’s only taking 4 visits so 1 of the last 3.

Either way if we can get Karaban back and Liam, then Mahaney is exactly what the doctor ordered for the last spot.

Seems pretty clear.

Creighton (already done)
UConn
Virginia
1 of Florida, USC, or Kentucky

Strange set of schools/programs.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Lots to like about Mahaney.

He’s a super creative guard in Randy Bennett’s super slow halfcourt sets. For 6’3 180, he’s not afraid to absorb contact and he’s strong at preventing turnovers despite his high usage. His 41 2P% is not strong, but a lot of his attempts inside the arc have a high level of difficulty. Methinks playing in Hurley’s system will help clean up his shot selection. Despite this, FT and 3P efficiency checks out and I do like how he plays in a super disciplined defensive system and plays for one of the most under-heralded head coaches in college.

Unlimited official college visits now. Just can't officially visit a college more than once each academic year.

I would love to know how the staff prioritizes transfers. There are so many of them and Hurley seems to be pretty picky about what he wants. But since it's all happening so quickly and with so many recruits they might not know a lot about, it must be a tough job to sift through all the transfers.

 

[Shine21]

I think us showing interest in Mahoney and bringing in Nowell, kind of shows that Hass isn't going to be handed the job. This isn't the same situation as Sanogo to Clingan. I think they love Hass in that sixth man role off the bench. Pat Bev type of role.

Is he even coming back? Concerning that it’s not official yet.

And no Michigan.

Most transfers aren't looking for the long set of visits (although going to a school a few miles from home may negate this). Virginia is an IQ test.

If Mahaney (hereafter known as "Mahoney" on the BY) makes it to UConn, I would like Hurley's chances.

Iron sharpens iron. We need the best team assembled ASAP so that they can start to forge themselves in the fire of practice and competition.

I’m sure they have a mold of the type of player they’re looking for (position, role, size etc). Then they probably have baseline offensive/defensive metrics they look for and that helps sift through/weed out a bunch of transfers who don’t fit those as well. That alone helps target a small pool of players they think they can actively recruit and go from there.

If Diara isn't coming back it is because The staff recruited over his preferred role and couldn't convince him to take the lesser role. And I trust the staff - so like with Roumoglou, I would be sorry to see him leave, but wish him well.

YES MOAR IRISH THEY TREATED US WELL

Mahaney is also very playable off ball. And you know how Danny runs the offense. He would allow Nowell to not have to be a “star” from day one

 

[Tenspro2002]

I don't think he's a backup plan for McNeely. He's too good for the Calcaterra role (plus this is more likely Hausen anyway).

If we get everyone, I wonder how the depth chart shakes out.

He's a Hurley, though. His father started an 14 years old, 120 lbs freshman when they were the #1 team in the country back in the early 2000s. He also was the 2nd leading scorer on that team, too. So I say that to say this, if Nowell is ready, Hurley isn't going to be afraid to throw him to the wolves day one.

And if we go by his play in the Jordan Brand game, he definitely looks ready.

Definitely not a backup plan for McNeeley. Two completely different positions and players. One is a 6'7'' guy that plays the 3, maybe even a bit of the 2, or 4 as well depending on if we're going big or small. The other is a 6'3'' combo guard that would get minutes at the 1 and 2.
