No problem. It's huge news, definitely thought it was worth a share.

I'm wondering what the game plan is for them now at the 4 spot

In yesterday’s NY Post article, Pitino was talking about Babacar Sane, who has a lot of international pro experience as well as the G-league.

Pitino said they'll be looking to add someone to replace Freeman. Didn't think they had an open spot, so not sure how he figures to maneuver that.

Haven't been on here in a month so just seeing this. It is confirmed now UConn is not adding anyone else, but there was some talk over on The Boneyard when it was rumored we were looking at adding someone as to how exactly we would do that. Apparently you are allowed to put a player on something similar to an IR and generate a scholarship. People were saying if we did add someone we would have done that with Ball

Ball? Is he not recovered?
