So Jakstys too potentially?
If Jase does decommit wondering what landing spots are available to him. Sure there are openings at the P5 level but any place decent is going to be looking at the portal to fill spots just like we are. Maybe he goes the mid major route but any decent P5 level program I think it’s an uphill battle for any non 5* freshman to earn PT.
I find the "just looking for the biggest paycheck" narrative ridiculous. Most of this board would bolt on their current employer for a 10k/ year raise, but a kid (who's likely better at his job than 99% of us) looking to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars is just being selfish... Dumb.
Yeah you're right. I always assumed they gave the 2020 athletes that lost out on March madness another year.Players graduating in 2019-20 did not get the extra year. Only 2020-21 is considered a “Covid year.” Otherwise we would’ve gotten another year of Andres Feliz.
Forget 3-point shooting. He needs to be able to hit a 10-15 foot jumper at a decent rate. I'm not sure I've seen him score from beyond virtually at the basket.This Ty stuff is absurd he just played 22 minutes a game on an elite-8 team and I think there is an argument that Brad should have used him more for large parts of the season. He needs to continue to improve(especially finishing), but he's a plus rebounder, incredibly versatile defender, and just a perfect glue guy. Everyone obsessing over his 3pt shooting needs to relax.
Stephon Castle is probably the 2nd most important player on UCONN and is shooting 26% from 3 and doesn't take many. Houston played 6'7 and 6'8 guys that don't shoot.
There's a reason for the likely decommitment with player/players we are bringing in. All I will say for now.
To be honest, I am a bit disappointed in Jase's mentality. While he probably would not play much at all next year still think it's a bit soft

That seems like it should’ve been the obvious thing to do, but with the NCAA, you never know what they’re thinking.Yeah you're right. I always assumed they gave the 2020 athletes that lost out on March madness another year.
Oh from chi state right. He went off against northwesternChances Wesley Cardet enters the portal? I’d take that kid in a heartbeat,
I was thinking that, too. But that rule only applied to spring sports, and basketball is a winter sport…so basketball missed out.Yeah you're right. I always assumed they gave the 2020 athletes that lost out on March madness another year.
noJust want to make sure we don’t have a certain assistant coach leaving for a head coaching job somewhere, do we?
Ty has value just as he is. He defends well, rebounds well and rarely loses a battle for 50/50 balls. Everyone knows he needs to add to his offensive game to stay on the court more. If you watch a lot of college basketball, you notice most teams have players that have limitations in their game. The ones that don’t are still playing.Forget 3-point shooting. He needs to be able to hit a 10-15 foot jumper at a decent rate. I'm not sure I've seen him score from beyond a few feet from the basket.
Well I haven't seen us bring in anyone yet, so I'm a bit cautious on these things. Kids tell coaches/recruiters what they want to hear, and they don't always follow through.There's a reason for the likely decommitment with player/players we are bringing in. All I will say for now.

I'm very confident in the guys we are bringing inWell I haven't seen us bring in anyone yet, so I'm a bit cautious on these things. Kids tell coaches/recruiters what they want to hear, and they don't always follow through.
Storr, Maddox, et al could be telling our staff they are coming and be saying the same thing to other schools.
Yep! 6”6 215, very athletic, can play PG, just a junior….. love his game. Wouldn’t be shocked if he went pro…. @Indy Illini Fan @illini0440 @sharpshot16 @LvilleILL anything?? Is this kid not a 6”6 Andres Feliz?Oh from chi state right. He went off against northwestern
It’s a dead period. As insiders have said look for action/activity late this coming week or nextWell I haven't seen us bring in anyone yet, so I'm a bit cautious on these things. Kids tell coaches/recruiters what they want to hear, and they don't always follow through.

What's this about Jase now?
Even the teams that remain have clear limitations. For example, last night I watched an interesting analysis video of Stephon Castle's play this year at UConn. The criticisms were: (1) not a willing three-point shooter; (2) hits at ~25% rate from 3-point range and so is often guarded by the defensive 5 who is dropping back into defensive coverage in the paint; (3) not long enough to score at the rim at a high enough rate.Ty has value just as he is. He defends well, rebounds well and rarely loses a battle for 50/50 balls. Everyone knows he needs to add to his offensive game to stay on the court more.

From what I've heard ...
Not an EDG ...
