The transfer portal opens today

Given the rest of that list, how in hell can he seriously be considering Syracuse?

Not sure if you guys know this, but Brian Scalabrine tried to hand deliver Cooper Flagg to Syracuse but Boeheim didn't think he was good enough. It's true, I read it on the Syracuse board.

 

[king conn]

I also learned Boeheim "discovered" Clingan, otherwise nobody else would have known about him I guess

For that reason, he wanted to go to Syracuse, but his family made him go to UConn.

So, now we know Kansas's Timberlake 2.0. Excited to find out who is UConn's Spencer 2.0.

I'm anxiously awaiting to learn where AJ Storr will play in the 2025-26 season.

Unless he got a bag each and every time, Who would have thought portaling is so addictive?

So funny. Anytime they miss on a recruit they try to make an excuse. I wish I could find it, but I recall a post disparaging UCONN fans for being excited that we got Alex Karaban. I also recalled them making comments that Andre Jackson Jr. made a mistake coming to UCONN when he did not play a lot his freshman year.

 

[auror]

Great get for Xavier. He'd have been perfect for us.

Great get.

No, no, no . . . Hurley tricked Andre into coming to UConn by promising a scholarship to his brother.

So basically you're saying Scheyer took all the wrong kids the last couple years before this? That's terrible scouting then.

Well if he was a good coach the 5* guys would be in the NBA by now instead of transferring in year 3-4.

 

[305Husk]

If he thinks bringing in 5 star recruits and pushing out 5 star recruits to have a team full of 5 star freshmen leading them is the recipe to win it all then good for him. It's going to fail.

Look at who transferred. They weren't doing much. The number of stars you have before your recruiting profile doesn't mean anything when the rubber hits the road.

What makes you think the new batch will be any different.

This class with Flagg and that Center look a step above talent wise. Idk about anyone else.

Having a 7’1 tank and a generational talent next to him will be different than that Tik Toker and the tweener Flip.

Assuming Flagg will be more productive than flip day one is a major assumption. And McCain was productive for them regardless of his tik toks. You don’t win in CBB with a team constructed of mostly freshman. If that’s how he’s building again. He’ll come short again.

Oh I don’t know if they’ll win. Just think they’ll be better than last year.

Flip wasn’t that good to me offensively though. Don’t think it’ll be hard for Flagg to be better if he lives up to the hype.

Ehh, hard to really project out since we don’t know what they’ll do in the portal. I know they’ve been connected to Maliq Brown. If they can bring in some vet guards, they could look pretty good going into next season. If they end up relying on a mostly freshman backcourt, is not going to end well.

 

[That Guy]

Are we actually still trying to get this guy or are we no longer involved since Reed committed? Potential Karaban replacement?

 

[stickybuddy]

Sure looks like a Karaban replacement. I’d guess the staff is recruiting as if AK is gone.

There is no one who can replace Alex. JMO.

I mean they made it to an elite 8. Idk how much “better” they’ll be without knowing their full roster yet. Filipowski was in the running to be an all American. If FS Flagg is just that good he’ll be great for a freshman. It may be a slight “talent” upgrade, but I’d bet against it being a significant “production” upgrade.

 

[Son of Robert]

Xaiver is going to be very, very good.

Who else did they pick up? Freemantle will be back.

Flagg is way more talented than Filipowski, especially defensively.

 

[karstenkibbe]

This one caught me by surprise. Not sure how Scheyer is going to make everyone happy next year, even with the mass exodus…

 

[AntG168]

Correct. That doesnt guarantee more production. Especially coming from a freshman

 

[Fan1978]

So many of you want to kick Samson and Solo to the curb for shiny new transfers. Glad you're not the coaches. Can't wait for both them of them to excel and laugh at you clowns who want to start mid-major guys over them.

There are plenty of minutes to go around. Samson and solo will get plenty of run

They made elite 8 only due to shed injury
