I wonder if they are second guessing the expensive shooter and thinking an experienced 4 might not be a more prudent way to fill the remaining spot. Someone more physical? I can wait.Diarra 25 / Nowell 15

9 man rotation and I think we stay at 12 schollys. If Karaban leaves we’ll need to add someone else.
Only if AK leaves. Otherwise We don’t need more than a 9 man rotation or 12 scholarship players. And Even if AK leaves staff might opt to divide his PT among who we have and add Ross and Abraham to the rotation. I think Breas out.I wonder if they are second guessing the expensive shooter and thinking an experienced 4 might not be a more prudent way to fill the remaining spot. Someone more physical?

Alway the right thing to do is to let them down in person instead of ghosting themBro literally flew to Lexington on a private jet, got a free meal, bounced and committed. LEGEND.
I wouldn't be surprised if this staff makes it a reality...I’m most excited to see what the new guys can do under the tutelage of our elite coaching staff.
So we move away from Brea? Adding him would really clog up the wheel. Shocked Ross isn’t already in the portal, but would likely push Solo away too.Diarra 25 / Nowell 15

Reminder of his stats vs high-major or ranked opponents this year:
19.6 PPG
1.8 RPG
2.2 APG
1.8 TO
0.2 BLK
1.2 STL
41% 2FG (7.3 attempts)
39% 3FG (7.3 attempts)
92% FT (2.0 attempts)
Well, as of now he has left (he wrote a note and everything). I am not sure that the quality-4 that can shoot 3's is a market you can wait as long on as guard.Only if Karaban leaves.
I live right next to the town he grew up in! Wish I caught some of him at SMC. Oh well, 2 years to see him crush it at UConn, I'll take it!I used to go to his hometown of Moraga all the time
Waiting until it’s official on 5/31Well, as of now he has left (he wrote a note and everything). I am not sure that the quality-4 that can shoot 3's is a market you can wait as long on as guard.
Let's not forget the highlights:

No speculating on current players moving on.So we move away from Brea? Adding him would really clog up the wheel. Shocked Ross isn’t already in the portal, but would likely push Solo away too.
Not saying it’s right or wrong, just commenting.
I am thinking the same thing...how on earth is there playing time for Brea with this roster? And yeah, Ross and Abraham are going to find it very hard to get minutes barring something crazy.So we move away from Brea? Adding him would really clog up the wheel. Shocked Ross isn’t already in the portal, but would likely push Solo away too.

This is how I felt when watching the UConn game at East Carolina in Feb 2020 2 weeks before the COVID lockdown. It was surreal watching Tristen Newton play for East Carolina and light up UConn to the tune of 25 pts 6 assists and 5 rebounds. If my current self traveled back in time to that day of the game and told my Feb 29, 2020 self that a player from this game will have their name put up on the wall of Gampel Pavilion, the Feb 2020 would've guessed James Bouknight and then Christian Vital. My Feb 2020 self would've been shocked it would be Tristen Newton even though he had a hell of a game against UConn.Man it will be fascinating watching highlights of this program over the last 3 years and seeing a cameo from Mahaney in the beginning hopefully foreshadowing greatness here.
See, I told you, I was right. A club chicken sandwich wasn't going to get it doneImagine thinking he would commit while you brought him to get a club sandwich with unseasoned crinkle cut fries. Meanwhile he was eating surf and turf with UConn at capital grille. Easy money! View attachment 100226
Your comment is more in brand than knowing, primarily because it is unknowable. We are clearly on the shortlist of favorites, and solidifying, but injuries, hubris, distraction, disharmony, and crazy luck are are part of the mix every year.3peat incoming
