2023 Recruiting: UConn interest in St. John's David Jones

[TheHorde]

I think I saw that game and agree about Anderson. All he was saying was "we need to rebound" or "we need to get some fast breaks", whereas Miller was way more detailed.

Look how many of the good and great coaches were point guards. They’re the quarterbacks on the floor. John Wooden. Coach K. The Hurleys. Larry Brown. Lenny Wilkens. Miller. Some were exceptional players and some weren’t, but many go on to become really good coaches. I’m glad a certain former Seton Hall point guard is in Storrs.

Jones has a stronger case due to Pitino publicly stating that he essentially asked him to leave. The waiver guidelines state "no participation opportunity at previous institution" as grounds for a second-time transfer to be immediately eligible. It should be pretty easy to argue for Jones

In the updated rules transfers citing lack of opportunity will be denied.

It‘s also pretty obvious schools believe it will be hard for him to get a waiver. I’m not a huge fan of his game, but he‘s way too good a player to be in the portal for a month with minimal activity if he’s going to be able to play in the fall.

What does it say about the coach telling you to get lost?

That the coach has a huge ego and wants to win or lose with players he selects I’d say.

Lack of opportunity is the nice way of saying the coach told you to get lost.

It‘s like in corporate America where they fire people but call it reduction in force so they can pretend they’re not balloon knots.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Looks like we’re out of David Jones:



At least we’ve got Aaron Jones returning!

UConn is out? What makes you say that? Is it because UConn isn’t mentioned in the tweet above? Did David make a visit to UConn and will he if he hasn’t yet?

The David Jones thing never felt real. Felt like the recruits that list teams in their top 5 that aren't actually recruiting them.

Don't forget Rick Pitino. He was a point guard for UMass-Amherst in the early 1970's.

Great point

 

[Ricker]

Might as well make it UConn relevant with Tommy Penders, Steve Pikell, and Kevin Ollie, (ducks for cover), Dennis Wolf, Karl Hobbs ....

Wasn't this the dude who elbowed Clingan this year at XL?

I honestly thought that felt like a dig at them. The 6th man for a team that fired their coach could be a POY over there? Yikes.

 

[REB1094]

Not sure how I feel about AAC POY, but congrats to him! Hopefully he can help them make another run at the tournament next season

The AAC is a borderline low major conference now that they lost Houston and Cincy. Not much competition beyond FAU now

 

[JustbrewitMan]

He's very talented, hasn't played for a coach yet who stresses shot selection.

Keeping his streak alive, it seems!
