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.

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

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

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