I wonder why things didn't work out at UCONN.

Was he playing behind some senior guards?

solo ball who’s a sophmore, but real good. he also had some injuries and i heard mono as well. had his 3 highest minute games and tied for fourth before an injury. played the 17 minutes on 11/30, his most all season, and then i assume got hurt didn’t play again until 1/8 and never touched double digit minutes for the rest of the season

I am informed that he played behind Diarra, not Ball. And Diarra was a 5th yr senior. But I didn't watch UConn all that much so I can't say based on my own observation.

this is what Uconn listed as their depth chart - not to say that there were situations were Ball got some rest and they had one of the 3 PGs play in Ball's spot ( so depth charts are not finite but sometimes fluid since offenses typically have 3 or 4 guys handling ball not the traditional Bob Cousy PG role)

Liam McNeeley at SF and 6'7" did a lot of initiating offense too (he was a frosh and likely a lottery pick in the 25 nba draft)

there was a point in the early season where Aidan Mahaney was behind Nowell in the PG rotation but after the Maui debacle for Uconn they went with more experience and Aidan M. won back more of the minutes

but in my opinion we got a real good one with Nowell - and he needs to be paired with Jennings and be the starting duo (not that excited if Zeb takes either of those two players minutes ) Not a big fan of 6 year players taking minutes of players that need development run (but that is me)

I'm not either but it's the world of college basketball. Win now, and worry about next year later. Development for next year is out the door, because those players may not be here next year.
 
I think a fair number of posters here who seem guarded are just carrying a lot of VCU scar tissue around. I can relate. But man! This is a Top 40 guard we’re getting here who isn’t like some 6th year Covid triple senior. He’s like a sports car that somebody hit driving off the lot. And now he’s fixed up and ready to go! (I hope so anyway.) With potentially three years ahead.

Bigger question. How many more schools will he play for?

Don't nobody feel inclined to have to answer this loaded question. We can each only do what we can do. And that doesn't include predicting the future. All we can is support in every way we can, cheer them on, and send forth positive reinforcement. That's our job.
