Najai Hines to Uconn

[TristanGoCats]

UConn just got 6”10 power forward najai hines that I’m assuming they want to start so maybe we will get Donnie Freeman since they were the main competitor to get him. But maybe hurley plans to have him come off the bench and still get Donnie Freeman.

Could be a really good sign for Pope.

 

[Major_Tom]

If Freeman goes to UCONN to come off the bench our fanbase will implode.

We brought back kam Williams to start, we should stop recruiting stokes

Hopefully Hurley won’t try to play keep away by promising Freeman bogus minutes

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

He's still taking the visit so it's hard to feel that good about it.

 

[Captain Coy]

Replacement for Taris Reed. Freeman is being recruited to replace Alex Karaban. Really good pick up for UConn. I thought Hines was one of the best low post bigs in the portal.

His family may loveeeee Uconn, but Freeman will be a starter making millions at UK. No brainer. Boom or bust babyyyyy

 

[JimboBBN]

Not going to get my hopes up with him visiting UConn.

Who would go there when you could come to UK. Doesn't make a bit of sense. You're right. . . it's a no brainer

 

[theBlues]

I think Hines is good enough to start. Maybe Freeman will think so as well?

If he wants to spend more time on the bench it's up to him.

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

Hurley is reportedly pitching the idea of them playing alongside each other instead of it strictly being two guys for one position. I haven’t completely given up on getting Freeman, but it unfortunately seems like the Hines signing isn’t closing the door on UConn being an option for him.

 

[BellyBall]

Hines is a great pickup and a 5. Freemnan will be the 4. Nik Khamenia the 3

Thankfully I dont think he cares about UK the way that Coach K and Bill Self did.

 

[UKCowboys]

From what I have read, Hurley had no interest in meeting the UK offer and told Freeman as much. I am guessing this was his pivot

Someone just posted Trilly said he's setting up a Bama visit for next week.

Not sure about Hurley doing that but Jim Calhoun, according to other coaches, was one of the most unethical recruiters in the country. Maybe it is a UConn thing?

And Pitino wasn't? Lol

Hines is really good - will be their starting C, Reed-like. Was like 65th ranked recruit last year.

Not sure what is going on with them as it comes to Khamenia/Freeman. They need a 4 - so Khamenia is either a 4, or a 3 if Mullins doesn't come back. I can't think they take both if Mullins is back. Hard to know - and not a lot of info on Mullins. If Mullins doesn't come, it would free up a lot of $$ they could throw at Freeman and Khamenia. No way they're doing all 3.

Freeman is going to visit Alabama,he'll probably end up there

Whatever school he chooses he starts!
Hope its UK...

Hopefully. Freeman would be a major get.

Kam is more suited for the 6th man role.

If Self is willing to risk a fat aneurysm so he can keep Pope from getting Stokes then I think Hurley, the douchemaster extraordinare, would go above and beyond even that.

More suited for the 11th man role on a real team

If true, I would pull the offer if I were UK.

What? No, that would be colossally stupid.

How can you say that after Wright went back to byu for less $?
Something is wrong with uk recruiting....big time

Even though Garrison signed with bama

Two completely different players who occupy two different places on the floor. Begging UK fans to gain some ball knowledge.
