I love Hunter. He's not a great shooter, but I think he got Terry'd. I'm sure he knows where he's going and we kinda have one at home, but I'd love him on the Huskies.

Probably doesn't make much sense for Hunter or UConn, we already have a really good 6'1 guard and a stud 5'11 guard is coming in.

Would think we would want a bigger guard to compliment Ball and have more flexibility to play three guards.

Same coach…more money. Why not. Lots of talk about the size of Arkansas NIL. I’m guessing nearly all of the UK guys follow Calimari. That’s how it works in the biz world
And…they will still suck

He needs to stop fouling if he wants more minutes. His improvement starts right there. Needs to quit leaning on bigs and just move his feet, and don’t reach.
I’m too lazy to find the hard data right now, but backup bigs tend to foul more than starting bigs, since they have “less to lose”.

For example, this season Clingan’s fouls charged per 40 went down from 5.7 last season to 3.6 this season. Sanogo had 6.7 as a backup but 4.0 as a starter.

I want Bronny.

Bring me Bronny.

If he doesn't go pro, Hurley is his best shot to actualize whatever level of talent he truly has.

(Although.....are we a Nike/Jordan Brand school?)

Prefer Brea over Hausen. A Brea, McNeeley, reed off season would be phenomenal
Can any of those shooters handle the rock? This season we always had 3 guys on the court who could bring the ball up the floor and start the offense. If we’re starting Stewart/Karaban/Reed at the 3/4/5, that 2 guard spot HAS to be able to handle the ball.

^ 100%. we need a reliable 3rd ball handler besides Hass /Ahmed. we are very low on turnover in '24 because Tristen, Cam and Steph all can do pg duties.

Are you asking if UConn is either a Nike or Jordan Brand school? If you are then I have to question your UConn fandom. They've been a Nike school for as long as I can remember. There's been plenty of news on that related to lots of things. You never noticed the swoosh on their uniforms? I find it hard to believe anyone on the Yard doesn't know this.

Exactly. 3 tall, ball handling Combo guards isn’t gonna suddenly turn into one short PG and couple of liabilities.

You asked about it as it relates to UConn recruiting Bronny James. So you must think it matters. :confused:

When was UConn an Adidas school? Must have been before my time.

Unfortunately the sneaker brand a school is with does have some influence with the AAU scene and recruiting. Although I would say that to a large degree that is lessening recently.

Seems they were with Russell early in the 90's. Not sure about other points in time.
