Mulcahy Commits to RU!!
- Thread starter RUDieHard
- Start date
"The Bayonne BLeader" :boxing:
Some are worried about Ron Harper possibly losing minutes at SF. Things will work out. If Ron continues to grow who knows he could possibly play a few minutes a game at PF as well. He even wanted Paul to commit to RU. It is wonderful to have guys just concerned about winning. We are moving on up.

Let them all compete and the cream will rise to the top. That's how you win games. This isn't T- Ball.
Paul is here to play point guard. He isn’t in play for Ron’s minutes.....not that Ron would still want him here if he was a 3
Damn. I have to play him for HS next year. It’s kind of cool tho to say I played vs a Rutgers player
Ron Harper Jr. Is just as highly rated, doesn't play the same position, wouldn't care if he did, wanted Mulcahy here openly on Twitter, and seems pretty confident he'll get his own thing done.
Happy they're both coming.

Exactly right. No one is promised anything.
Mulcahy's not competing for minutes next yr unless you're talking about his high school team. Wake up
I meant 2019, obviously. I also mentioned Young who is sitting out this year. No confusion here.
Competition and depth are a good thing for everyone, and modern college hoops teams play 3 or 4 of these lengthy guards on the floor at the same time.
I love the talent and the team-first kids that Pike and the staff are recruiting.
I love Harper too. Especially by Harper’s sophomore year, when Mulcahy arrives, I think Ron Harper, Jr will play as much at the 4 as he plays at the 3.
It all will work out.

Uh, maybe I didn't "get it" because the guy said "next year". The second I read "next year" I didn't even bother reading the rest of the post that mentioned Young. Why would I?
I would not throw the dirt on UConn just yet. They hired two high powered assistants that can recruit, led by New Yorker Kimani Young.
The statement "next year" is accurate. This year is 2018. Next year is 2019.
I assume what you meant is "next season", which begins later THIS year.
GRF, I never said Paul was not here to play PG. My point was that if Paul plays a lot of minutes at PG than Baker, and McConnell will fight for backup minutes at PG and they will also compete with Mathis and Kiss at the 2G. Mathis or Kiss might get minutes at the SF spot as well which could take minutes from Harper or Thiam. These are all moving parts. I also said I could see Harper if he continues to grow and having long arms could get some minutes at PF which I could Thiam getting as well. Pikiell will probably play a lot of different combinations with our depth and players that can play more than one position. Mulcahy is coming in to play PG and run the show. Young is also a PG. Hopefully things will all work out.
And those two men have the magical power of changing uconns conference?
6’5” with a plus plus handle and the ability to finish at the rim. Yes , please. And I’d wager the shot plays in the B1G by the time he takes the floor for us.
You win with guards and Coach P is going to have 5 with potential on the ‘19-‘20 roster. Plus three wings with potential. One more year being thin at guard. Better injury luck than ‘17-‘18 would go a long way.

The board needs a Vegas on it to stir it up a little bit...we all need those RU fans in disguise....someone bring him a RU shirt during their next visit to Sin City....
If they go to a game they'll see the banners hanging from the ceiling and if they get invited on a visit they will stop by the practice facility and they will see those trophies.
But even more important than that they will see the pictures of all the Connecticut players that played in the NBA and that is what's most important to these kids. Going to a school that they believe can get them to the league.
And yes, I know, the current coaching staff had nothing to do with getting those past Connecticut players to the league. But that doesn't matter to recruits it's not how they think.
