Good point regarding Ellis, plus Uconn has Gaffney who was last years starting PG with 3 year left too.UConn has Cole for 2 years, so does this guy want to come in and groom for 1 year?
Offer list includes: UConn, Florida, Kansas, Villanova, Virginia Tech, DePaul, Rutgers, Miami, Penn State, Wake Forest, Xavier
I am all for having at least 2 good guys at every position, ideally one stud and one really good developmental player, and UConn appears to already have that at PG the next 2 years. So if this guy, who is the top JUCO and is a 2 year player, comes into the program in 2021, he will have 2 guys who have had 2 years in the program at his position. I presume Cole will be the starter, but Gaffney is very good, and might even emerge as the best 3 point shooter among the guard group, from what I saw of his stroke last year. So Gaff could also be used as a combo guard especially if that 3 ball stroke develops like I think it will. It is pure.
Conceivably, if Bouknight leaves after this year, Hurley could start 2 point guards in Cole and Ellis, as Calhoun did with El Amin and Moore in 1998 and 1999. That could be Hurley's plan. That would be the only thing that makes sense.
Well Rivals say he's now......Rahsool Diggins...CG..6-2/180lbs...also he can dunk in his highlight videos. (never saw AJ dunk) He seems bigger than Bazz and Boat.......+ AJ was in the 6-2/180-190 range by the time he left Uconn even though Rivals had AJ alot smaller as a recruit (6-0/175),This kid Diggins is smaller than Ellis and he is also smaller than AJ Price. In terms of body more along the lines of Shabazz or Boatright. Those 2 had extreme toughness that overcame their size issues, so hopefully this kid has some toughness In him and can do the same.
Another big from the Patrick School to replace Josh and Isaiah for 2021 ?

I think you have an answer to that question right here in this Uconn FB announcement below. The FB team only has 8 SR's out of 85 schollie players on a team and none of them have redshirted (One starting LB who transferred from Notre Dame is a grad student)....So now all of them get to come back in 2021, so I'd assume that would be the case with Josh and Isaiah too, especially since they haven't used a RS.Will Josh and Isaiah retain a year of eligibility if the season is cancelled or will they basically be deemed to have completed their varsity careers?
