We good with this? The type of player that will grow under Sha. Does this set off the dominos-and not negatively?
I like it. He has the same motor Sha had. “His kind of player.”
Had a feeling. VERY good thing for us! Totally a Sha type of player. Will bring toughness, grit, excellent defense and no quit/positive vibe to the team. Hopefully this comes to fruition.
Now reel in a shooter and two bigs.
This felt very likely since the moment he entered the portal. I mean... supposedly SHU was his first choice out of high school if Willard would have taken him, and he's definitely a Sha type player.
That seems true. No doubt, if you believe the rumor mill, the list of other schools trying to get him to leave after his sophomore year was a level or two up. He had a bad junior season under less than ideal circumstances, to say the least. It's happened before to other kids who have rebounded.
Doesn't matter IMO. Trust Sha maximizing this kid to the player he was his first 2 seasons -- I think last year was a total aberration. And trust Sha has done his diligence on both him and DAW based on the stuff that's out there from this past season.
Yes, as Uncle Hector likes to remind us, he can shoot better than Posh. But give me Posh freshman/sophomore year and I don't care, because it will make us better IMO. And I think he is someone who is going to embrace Sha's coaching style.
Rumors are we’re also in the mix for Wusu who shot 36% & 38% from deep the last 2 seasons. Seen some people knock him on here but numbers don’t lie.
Who knows, but suspect its a 3-guard tandem with Posh, Dawes and KR as a guard/wing that handles and creates.
If he's leading the second unit in the 9 or 10 man rotation then it could be a good thing. For me he's not a starting player because of the lack of talent at the other positions. Guy shot in the 20% range from three last year. In addition he creates a lot of turnovers, but also turned it over a lot last year. Good defensive player and good at the line which is important moving forward. Brings energy for sure.
Nice pick up. Posh has a great motor and will likely want to prove he is a good team player after Pitino’s dis of him.
I think this is how Sha will pick up a lot of his players too. We may not get them the first time around but he’ll get them in their soph or junior years.
Good move. He is one of the best defenders in the league. When he is on the floor he is always a presence which is something that the Hall will be missing without KC.
Please get some bigs and a shooter!! Posh is nice but we need bigs and a shooter to compete in Big East!!
Good pick-up for us. Definitely makes us better. Probably got no promises from Holloway, but he is not coming here to be a second-teamer.
HIs choice of us is interesting in view of our tepid NIL presence. Is it potentially, better than many think or less of factor? Despite Posh's poor season, he was a pre season 1st team Big East, and he still has significant potential.

We should also go after Sanogo and let him know that if he decides to not test out the NBA draft waters he is welcome to finish his career at SHU where he will be the man and he does not have to share post time with Klingon. He can be the star here and showcase his talents another year and move up in the draft!
Posh is an improvement to our backcourt and the production it had last year. He seems to play with the drive and style Holloway wants. Not a shooter obviously, but scores at the rim and shoots FT at a better rate than we’ve had.
He and Richmond will be a very strong defensive duo.

I admire the thinking but perhaps a tad fanciful
He doesn’t just want to dance, he wants to cut down the nets and wear the crown!
Only issue is Dawes can’t create anything
He already is the king at UCONN. He won the tourney MVP and is starting to kill it with NIL. He just sighed a deal with Sunoco gas.
I agree. Due to our “tepid NIL presence” we will need to rely, for the time being, on lower rated players and guys who were highly regarded but did not pan out.
Not as tepid as you might think. We are really starting to donate like a major D1 program should. Many supporters are doing less complaining and more reaching into their wallets.
Let's keep that momentum up.
