@UConnTim Same guy who told everybody that Tarris was going to Baylor after last year😂😂

This is just Trilly aggregation nonsense, emphasis on the nonsense.

#BREAKING Silas Demary has been rumored to be entering the NBA draft, and not spend his senior year. In that case, expect the huskies to make a push for a start guard. Look out for Tahaad Pettiford to enter the transfer portal
English
@cthoops2 If this is true, awful decision to put it bluntly. I find it hard to believe that Silas would rather get drafted at the end of the second round and be in and out of the g league than come back, make millions, up his stock, and compete for a championship.
English
@4TheCycle1 @cthoops2 Ah man, I thought he might’ve wanted to win for a second there.

Transfer Portal Report
UConn has been floating around for Syracuse Transfer F Donnie Freeman

San Diego State transfer Miles Byrd has committed to Providence, per his father.
Averaged 10.4 PPG and 4.7 RPG last season.
Byrd was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year in 2025-26.
English
Wilkins (6’5) is a combo guard who could hold down the backup point guard position but also play with Silas (6’4) as the shooting guard, which is something we didn’t see much of last year with Malachi. (6’1)
English
We’ve seen Dan go after guys UConn has played against before. (Aidan Mahaney, Malachi Smith, even Dwayne Koroma) Alex Wilkins would add to the list.
English
Takeaways from Alex Wilkins Tape:
- Really Good Looking 3 Point Shot (33% on about 6 attempts a game)
- Very Crafty
- Gets to the paint easily
- Great Lob passer
- Turnovers are a problem
English
Getting Royal while keeping both Ross & JST3W would appear to be roster redundancy at first glance. We’ll see tho #UConn
English
For the people who think this could be Silas, with the way his family talked about UConn and Hurley the other day, i’d be shocked to see him leave to another team. It’s most likely Stewie if this is true.

@cthoops2 7’3? Love it
Sophomore? Love it
Saint Mary’s? PTSD
English
Portal Update:
Huskies are pursuing St Mary’s big man Drew McKeever, along with schools like AZ State, Cincinnati, Iowa, Marquette, Ole Miss, Purdue, and Michigan
The 7’3 sophomore will have 2 years of eligibility remaining averaged 8 ppg and 9rpg shootong 50% from the field
English
Royal would definitely benefit from Hurley’s offense. Slips, cuts, open threes. If the offense is broken down, he can get to his beloved post fade away. He’s also very active on the offense boards and can provide second chance points.
English
In my opinion, Royal is the type of player I expected Jaylin Stewart to become at his full potential. Both have similar builds and athleticism. Fully expect Stewie to be gone if we pick up Royal. (Maybe even if we don’t get him)
English
Takeaways from Devin Royal Tape
- Creates his own shots
- Absolutely Loves his fade away middy
- Decent 3 Point Shot (30%)
- Dunker Spot type of Off ball guy
- Good Rebounder
- Athletic
- Nothing jumps out defensively
