There were three UConn commits in the games and they played well.

If I had to guess they are figuring how to incorporate the new teams, if any. My hunch is they try to send ASU to Gampel.

I think Providence and Xavier are the second and third best teams in the Big East next year.

Well that’s my point what are UConn fans going to do - cancel and change their health insurance or buy a F-16? I’d love to see one of the CEOs of these major companies tell their shareholders why giving Charli D’Amelio’s dad $5,000,000 to give to amateur athletes creates shareholder value.

I don’t get why these large multinational companies would support UConn athletics NIL? What would they get out of it? Memphis at least makes sense since FedEx holds the naming rights to their arena.

This would be great. The portal guys are good, but I've always thought we need someone who can do more than shoot. Based on the limited videos on Twitter this guy has "it." Plus the obvious NBA future is a plus. Getting guys in the NBA consistently will do so much for our NIL and program -...

Obvious move. Thanks for the title.

Wall?

He projects well. Not clingan level of course but he will be a positive.

I can’t believe his nickname is Big Hoss. I need NIL merch yesterday.

That’s not really a confirmation.

I’d imagine he probably is the backup 4 for about 10 mpg and then plays 15 or so at the 3.

I like what Providence is doing. I think there won’t be much different between teams 2-9 this year especially if Creighton loses Kalkbrenner and Ashworth so they have a chance to be at the top of the BE standings.

Really excited to see what he and Ball can do. Their sophomore jumps define the ceiling of the 2024-25 team.

Sure, which is my point. Clingan is obviously better and a generational big but Reed is perfectly fine. I just chose not to use their per 40 stats because Reed doesn’t have the usage Clingan had so I looked at points per FGA and rebounds per minute played instead to help account for that.

I just want to add that if you gave Clingan and Reed each 20 minutes and 10 FGA based on their career averages Clingan would give you 15.8 points and 7.3 rebounds and Reed will give you 13.2 points and 5.7 rebounds. Clingan had the benefit of playing in an elite offense while Reed played for a...

I like this post because not counting Diarra since he’s graduated and has to opt into a 5th year we currently have 1 PG (Nowell), 5 wings (Stewart, Ball, Ross, Apostolos, Abraham) and 3 posts (Karaban, Johnson, Yousseff).

If a play in team wins a title going 7-0 does that diminish our titles? It’s harder to win 7 than 6. UConn played by the same rules as the UK and UCLA teams we just stunk.

I think what I like most about our two most likely portal targets is we are building toward a strong core for 2026 while being able to compete for a Final Four in 2025. McNeely fits the mold too - doesn’t seem to be a one and done.

Look in the MBB Portal/Recruiting updates thread

Yes they name drop.

IMO yo should subscribe to see the information vs someone posting it for us all to see. However I will say it’s not Cliff, Ballo or Wolf.

Funny they thought that they would get Hurley, Donovan, Oats or Drew but got Pope (perfectly fine coach).

You can also get content direct from the athletes on opendorse. Not sure if I'm allowed to link.

I’m perfectly fine with 6 buy games, home vs B12, Gonzaga in NYC and 3 in Maui. We saw how much the committee valued beating up on bad teams so might as well keep doing it. I also think it’s a good idea given how many minutes we will be replacing next year.

It’s really simple. Elite assistants. Elite big men. Your core players don’t portal every year. Bat 1.000 in the portal. Recruit a lottery level talent every year. Why don’t other coaches do this?

Horses used to win wars. Times change.

It would be a disservice to Clingan to have him back for another year.

I’ll be honest even if next years team is half as good as this years we can still with the BE.

Hausen is perfect. He comes with an elite skill and Big East experience for a coach who isn’t getting the best out of him. Not a guy who makes Solo insecure either. Win win.

The way he interacted with his teammates and officials I’m just not interested. Could be a one off but it was off putting.

Hated his body language in the Purdue game. We can do better.

Yes we will have a home game.

Maybe but a total brain fart by DC to be reaching like that. A slight chance at a steal is way less valuable than him remaining on the court.

What a season. What a team.
