They started this during the Final Four… Next year, Sanogo could be in the G League, making money in France or something, getting money from another school or UConn (not the most likely right now, they’re all in on Clingan).

Visits to two other teams that desperately need players-

I think some of the impatience from fans comes from hoping that there had been some back door deal worked out with a player of note, and the announcement just had to wait for the appropriate timing. I don’t necessarily think that’s a fair belief to hold, but I get wanting it to be true.

I don’t remember Archie having to negotiate the program out of sanctions and scholarship reductions. Archie’s is a team rebuild, Dan’s was a program AND team rebuild. Maybe they are both shit options, but it’s clear which one is better. All the stuff Archie was given (more money for assistants, an a...

Support staffer to me indicates someone below assistant coach, but they could be wording it that way to be intentionally vague. Pretty much everything between "several transfers" and "will provide more on this as we go" is basically word salad that I've read three times and I'm ...

This is more about staying or going pro, but I love Tristen. He is not wrong!

It’s wild how some people who say they like college basketball kind of despise college basketball players.

Preston Murphy?

Why did he delete it, though?

Apparently this was what started all that, a picture-

Why did they ask for their releases? Gardner I guess makes sense. He was going to talk to Pitino but I get it if it’s not the coach you committed to. What about Coleman?

ace

Does Coleman know someone at URI? Why would he come here? Charleston is more ready to win than URI He played for Kenny in High School. He had tons of interest from high majors before he committed to Charleston. I'm guessing UConn is in the mix. A spot opened up today with Hawkins declaring for the ...

It’s easier said than done, but winning kind of makes those transfers feel like guys you’ve been rooting for from day one. Joey California (Calcaterra) somehow became a UConn legend in a single season. That part is definitely different but not necessarily bad.

I can’t get enough of stories like this. What a great organization Team Impact is

It's odd that there was more buzz around Young and Murray last year. UConn's run was so deep, there aren't really many open jobs for them to consider. Unless you do the Cooley, and court a job while you're still competing, most of the best jobs are filled by weekend one or two being over. Things mo...

SmartyBarrett wrote: ↑1 year ago I've seen vague tweets about a UConn assistant moving on to a head coaching gig, too, but it's unclear which one (I'm assuming Young).

Luke and Kimani both got interest, but I think that’s a fair assumption.

I mean, they have a lot of openings and the recruiting dead period just ended. One would certainly hope guys were coming in for visits.

I didn’t realize Alabama was going to have quite so many openings… https://twitter.com/goodmanhoops/status/1644036387694342152?s=61 Earlier tweet from the Archie’s Assistants thread, where Preston, Kenny, and Saddi Washington were offered as guesses https://twitter.com/andrew__slater/status/16426567...

I agree based on the clues, but I did get sentimental about him ending up at UConn instead.

My guess is UConn will lose a couple guys after they win the whole thing. A couple of huge NIL offers will lure them away. They wont be immune to being outbid. Ok, which guys are leaving just for NIL deals? They’re losing guys to the pros, maybe some guys who didn’t get minutes drop down, and most ...

Isn't this the definition of a "no-brainer"? You'd think so! Its not allowed, which is why the only NIL things for purchase we see are these stupid cartoon drawings of players with a generic jersey on. I have this hoodie for Sanogo https://uconn.nil.store/products/navy-mens-basketball-har...

So the Big East is both doomed because of football AND is also part of the cartel? Impressive. Hurley also said that the number of teams seems right but that the tournament selection process is off because it squeezes mid-majorish teams and lets some teams in power conferences game the system.

Such an amazing ride- great start, miserable January, dominant end of the season. I could not be more proud of them. It’s such a selfless and connected group.

Saddi Washington would make a lot of sense Yeah, worked with Nate at Romulus and is at Michigan now. How does that connect with Rhode Island? Possibly TJ Buchanan? It doesn’t.

Who is UConn’s most important player and the guy they probably can’t win without? Jordan Hawkins.

Also,

I am stressed.

I like this signing a lot. Not a flashy commitment, but he seems like a dependable player and a good scorer. He had three seasons of college tape the coaches could review, and they clearly liked what they saw.

ace

I never try to predict what the NCAA will do, but they are claiming that the waivers for a second transfer are not going to be easy to get. I get that their intention is to have players carefully consider their situations and use the one freebie wisely, but I’m not sure that leaves the players who h...

I know it’s not exactly the same, but UConn had 7 players at one point on their roster last April, including the two incoming freshmen. Things can move really quickly.

I am so glad those people were around to tell Dan about UConn, a basketball program with which he had no familiarity and certainly had never even heard of. Quite a break for him! Archie got money and resources and more than empty promises. He’s going to turn that into URI basketball being fun again....
