Koby Brea entered the portal. Please please Coach Hurley

Lock him up

 

[GoConn]

Sounds like were a lock, update the grid.

He's still in the NBA draft so we still have to wait some time.

I'm not turning down any guy who shot 100-201 from 3, and I like that he's OK coming off the bench, and I trust the staff believes he's a good fit, but for people who've watched him: Can he pass and defend? He averaged 1.2 apg and 0.5 spg in 29 mpg, pretty anemic.

P.S.

Folks from Dayton indicated he's not the best defender. He also shoots a ridiculously low amount of free throws. He's taken 23 total FTs in the past two seasons, while taking 336 3s. If he's willing to accept the Joey role, he fits the roster well.

We never had a chance. Guy loves wildcats and we only got dogs.

I wonder if Poplar entering the portal changed things on Duke's side. Or was Brea just using Duke for leverage and they decided not to play that game.

My phone sends me two to three dUKE articles per day, usually fawning over Scheyer and his brilliance. Did you know he has seen the future and is looking to add veterans and shooters to his roster?
I mentioned this because they have been salivating over Brea and looking forward to getting him on campus so it may well be Poplar that drove this if it's true.

And still not as anemic passing and rebounding as Polley. Imagine how much we would've loved Tyler Polley if he shot threes at a 50% clip.

 

[GoConn]

Solo would start over him still?

 

[Scrutiner]

maybe scheyer's wife finally convinced him he cant have a team of just wings and bigs

I can hear the conversation. "Jon, all the time we've been together you've been telling me size doesn't matter so why this obsession with big recruits?"

 

[FlexOnEm]

If Brea is starting next year, I’m concerned. I think some people are expecting another Cam Spencer, when he’s much closer to a Joey Calcaterra. Mahaney would push Solo for the starting 2, but not Brea.

 

[huskymedic]

Did I miss a tweet? I see the one that said he’s visiting UConn this weekend and Duke after but we can’t take that to mean he is only planning to visit duke and UConn. Just that those two visits had been scheduled

That's the role that seems right based on those stats and that's not a bad thing............if his role is firing up our team when they're struggling, and can shoot coming off a screen. Otherwise he won't be Joey II and won't be as valuable.

 

[TheHorde]

He must have really liked UConn already

The Dairy Bar strikes again

 

[ctchamps]

Obviously Brea found out they don’t have good Dominican food in Durham.

 

[Umami Zen]

FWIW-Supposedly Scheyer is trying to get recent Miami portal entry Wooga Poplar in for a visit. Might be affecting Brea's interest in a visit.

I'm assuming that's what the summer, September, and October would be dedicated to finding out.

Kinda the point I was making. I assume he's more well-rounded than Polley or the staff wouldn't be after him.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Solo would start over him still?

If he wins it
