Make it official UConn interest.
Hope we get him, especially with AK may not return.

 

[jibsey]

We don't have a Newton.

 

[bjc42]

have there been any updates on this? He would be a massive pickup

 

[DbaltUC628]

Duke to be the 12th option off the bench.

He's testing the NBA waters also. It'll be a slower process for him most likely.

oh okay makes sense.

Doesn't Kansas, at this point, have like 8 guys that play the 2/3?

Prediction: He plays for a blue blood next season

 

[auror]

Koby has settled the blue blood debate.

 

[ec33]

The UConn offense with a willingness to make the extra pass and McNeeley and Brea on the end of those last passes would almost be cheating.

Have to imagine duke and Kansas aren’t looking great with all the experience and talented depth they have on the perimeter. Kentucky building from the ground up with a ton of NIL seems like a tough team for us to beat out for Brea.

Depends if he wants to win

And be closer to home.

Agree on Kansas but I feel like Duke has an entire roster of 4's and 5's and then Tyrese Proctor and Darren Harris. Plenty of minutes still available for a guard unfortunately

Duke has a lot of 2/3s. Kneuppel, Harris, and Evans. Flagg can play 3 also.

They just landed Gillis too.

To me it seems like UConn, Kentucky, and UNC could offer him larger roles, with Kentucky being the largest but also coming with the most question marks as to the team itself.

 

[Horatio]

I don't see Kansas or Kentucky as a threat this time. As someone who is married to a Dominican from the Bronx. She can't go 3 days without Dominican food. CT has around 60k Dominicans living here. After 4 years in Ohio. I know he wants to be closer to the Bronx. Add in the basketball side and what uconn has done with transfers I think we are in a good position. SJU worries me more than Kansas.

Charlie Villanueva is our UConn Dominican / NYC representative in this situation.

I think we have the better relationship. But this does seem like a NIL thing.

A very rare case where I have a sliver of information but I heard Brea is down to two schools, one being UConn. Don't know who the other is.

I have no sources whatsoever... But I read Kentucky was out and I'd think that Duke and Kansas are out as well given their portal additions.

 

[Mooch82]

Yeah this feels like maybe UConn vs. UNC. Someone said they thought we would cool our interest in Brea if we got Liam...not sure I necessarily see that. Would probably need to sell him on a 6th man type of role, but considering he was that at Dayton this past year, don't think he would necessarily have an issue with it. Love him in a bench scorer role (although he could also beat out Solo for the starting 2 spot).

I DMed a few people similar news this weekend. We are definitely seriously in the running.

Could be true. I will say this. Twitter is its own cultural phenomenon. No fan base looks “good” on twitter
