If Mahaney to UConn does anything, it should quiten the people who complain about the rankings of our incoming transfers.
TOS has Mahaney ranked 17th. The bigger desire for coaches is how a player fits with what they want to do. Mahaney fit what Pope wants to do, and he obviously fits with what Hurley wants to do. I'm also convinced our committed players also fit with what Pope wants to do.
I'll take all the top transfers we can get as long as they fit. Players don't always fit together. (Look at Arkansas last year. Maybe, they fit together too much if rumors are true!)
Osobar is top 5 and small is #2. I would certainly take both players! My point is, Hurley has proven how to put a roster together and I think Pope and other coaches are following that blueprint. I'm ready to how this roster comes together. I trust the scheme to score enough points. It looks like we have some excellent on-ball defenders and will not be in constant scramble mode on defense giving up wide open 3's or watching a layup drill.
