Maybe we’re the ones telling Lafeww to hold off?

Add him to Burton + Schrewsberry plus 2 4-star recruits coming in ND will be good next year

We will see when the season starts

Here’s most likely the problem - You know nothing about Lafeww and haven’t heard of him until 2 weeks ago. You heard DJ Wagners name because we recruited him out of HS. It’s possible Red knows more about Lafeww than you do? It’s possible he thinks he’s a better fit for his system? It’s...

Roach isn’t coming here

I still think there are backup PG minutes available. Cuffe isn’t a true PG. you could argue it will be Westry but Red is taking a big risk if the only PGs on the roster are Lafeww/Westry. I also could see plenty of scenarios where the backup PG and Westry are on the court at the same time. 4/5...

I agree. I don’t know the kid but I can’t imagine a 1 year removed top 50 recruit would settle for a bench spot, especially a team that isn’t expected to contend for a national title. There’s a lot of P5 programs still looking for starting guards

Also - listening to this you gotta think Kiyan is AT LEAST a 2 year guy, if not more

Man he struggled last year

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I never knew this

If Lafeww already committed it’s probably too late

I think we see a backup PG, someone like that Carlos kid from Hofstra. I think If Red does anything additional it’ll be a flier type. PG - Lefeww, Portal, Cuffe SG - JJ, Elijah, Cuffe SF - Bell, Westry PF - Freeman, Davis C - Lampkin, McLeod Seems like a ton of minutes will be clearly...

Red is building a nice little squad here ….

This kid is super underrated. He’s gonna have a huge year

Chris Beard is no joke

What is wrong with you

So not only did UK fans not want him, but now he has $4M of NIL at his disposal that Cal didn’t? He’s going to be under a ridiculous amount of pressure from day 1

I have no inside information but there is literally no way we don’t get this kid. We signed his former HC and then he’s visiting that weekend? If we don’t get him it’s going to be a pretty bad look for Red, at least the optics.

Maliq was never a post threat and Jesse wasn’t that good of a passer

Maybe Lefeww hates his former coach?

Tyson will start somewhere.

Not joking, I think this was his wife’s call

They gotta just go Pitino lol

Pretty obvious if you read between the lines. There’s a reason Maliq and Copeland left while JJ and Bell stayed.

There is no way he’s coming here. He’s going to have plenty P5 offers to start and play 30mpg. If Red really wanted him he’d have to get rid of Starling.

Are you unfamiliar with the last 8 years under JB

PC seems pretty confident too?

Pretty solid list, would be interesting if we get him now

JJ and Lefeww start in the backcourt. Montgomery 6th man. Cuffe the 4th guard. Westry as 1-3 flex piece

Maybe Red didn’t want an assistant solely for a recruiting pipeline as opposed to a seasoned HC who can help players develop. Especially with the portal being arguably more important than your HS recruiting - I’m ok with passing on a guy jusy because he can connect us with a HS

Inheriting a program that was 1–24 before he took over, Engelstad led the Mountaineers to a 16–10 overall record, including wins over a nationally ranked Williams featuring Duncan Robinson.[4]The following season, Engelstad guided Southern Vermont to a NECC regular season title, its best record...

I hope that’s not the case

I can’t imagine Red did this just to get Leffew - but it is a pretty big coincidence?

who knows if it’ll work out - but I love the thought process behind it

I think he’s probably bringing his PG too ;)

this kid will be a 5th year senior and is a proven scorer at the D1 level. This will automatically be the best team he’s ever been on with the most talent around him. He’s overall burden will be significantly lessened and with that we could see higher assist numbers and more efficient 2P...

Sounds like it’s definitely gonna be Drew

So it’s either Mack or Lafeww right?

I wonder if Cooper Flagg will change his mind

It is a massive ego play for Hurley. Imagine if UK just went back to back? The national attention would be insane compared to UConn. No doubt UConn is the better program the last 25 years - but UK has that national gravitas that UConn just doesn’t have. If Hurley were to go to UK and go back...

Nope, no buyout for Cal. UK doesn’t owe him a dime

Yes, exactly. They were tired of the constant churning of players when they don’t win.

UK fans have come around - they didn’t like the way Cal was doing it lately

Assuming UConn wins tonight, what else can he do at UConn? Back to back titles. Still in a mid major conference. He’s not a UConn alum. UConn has a cute little northeastern fan base, but UK is national and absolutely rabid, especially if he’s successful. He’d make 3x the money and turn UK into...

I always thought Hurley would be a UConn lifer. But the fact that UK doesn’t owe Cal a dime is huge. They’re literally going to be able pay hurley 3x what hconn can

You guys are awfully picky

Hmmmm
