UCONN to the SEC

He also likes to publically talk down his players, can only imagine what he says privately

I was lucky enough to sit by their bench when we played them in Milwaukee. The contrast between his demeanor and Shaka's is night and day. I don't see him having much success there.

He has Jeff Goodman on speed dial and the valuable experience of winning the NIT this year should help a lot next season

Especially with transfers and graduation leaving only one starter left right now in Richmond who will likely declare for the draft.

Shaheen should have job jumped while he could.  He's a good coach, but the resources at SHU are pretty bad.

Agreed completely. Very curious if Louisville wised up and moved on or if Shaheen pulled his own name out of the search.

It's strange.  I think he has some loyalty to the program, which is admirable.  Plus he kind of just got there.  But if they're not repaying that loyalty with resources he should recognize that and move on.

Personal opinion, I think he's one of the most overrated coaches in college basketball. Outside of a wildly unexpected Elite 8 run and an NIT title, he's been mediocre his entire career. But because of the outsized importance that is placed on March results, people think he's a blossoming star.

In non-con play those two seasons, his teams went 0-7 against top-100 non-con opponents to start the year, but in March they went a combined 8-1. Yet no one treats those records anything close to the .500 they are because we overvalue March. I think he's an average at best coach who is outspoken and because of that a media darling.

I agree with this as well, even though many do not hold this opinion.

The experience that team got winning the NIT will be invaluable in the Big East next year

That is how the game is played . Perform in March and be quotable will endear a Head Coach to the Media especially in NY. Shaheen is also gritty. That is the type of player that The Hall typically recruits

Good.  Keep him in Jersey.  Makes the league easier

St. John's trying to end the NCAA's eligibility limits after two of their players got denied an additional year. I guess if one judge ruled that NIL is more important than a sexual assault charge then nothing it off the table when one claims NIL earnings:

This feels like a silly and frivolous lawsuit. It wasn't a fifth year of eligibility, it was that the 2020-21 season wasn't counted against the 4 seasons of eligibility. Ledlum and Dingle both already got their fifth years of eligibility this past year. Four full seasons, plus whatever happened in 2020-21. Same as everyone else. It's not the NCAAs fault their schools didn't schedule any games for them in 2020-21.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I get their frustration. My understanding of the spirit of the COVID year was to give players an extra year because COVID screwed up the 20-21 season. I'd argue that the Ivy League players were more screwed by COVID than anyone else. That being said, the letter of the law trumps the spirit of the law most times in lawsuits so I don't think this will go their way.

Arguably best shooter in the 2024 HS class and recent Indiana decommit Liam McNeeley commits to UConn.

[tower912]

UConn needed the help.

[DoctorV]

He will probably be on one of the all BE teams, frosh of the year, and a top 15 pick.

Hope I’m wrong but smart choice by that kid- follow the winners, especially when there’s a ton of minutes to be had.

I’d also handicap UConn as favorite to win the BE agains, and I’m sure Hurley has a lot more talent still coming.

[MU82]

I'm not impressed with UConn at all. Hurley hasn't won any kind of title for weeks now!

Trey Alexander going pro.

Should get Kalkbrenner decision soon
