Agreed, and four of our guys are pretty much unproven commodities in UConn uniforms. To above poster, please refrain from calling our team the greatest, deepest, or whatever until some games have been played. A lot of people were saying similar things after the 2011 ship.
I hate to be a pessimist, but he's not ready to come out yet. I don't think he'll ever be a starter in the NBA regardless. If scouts watch the first 30 games of the season, he's just an ordinary player. Players with real NBA size can shut him down at the 3, and no way he can cover a legit NBA 4...

Don't know if this is updated, but I'm a little puzzled that he hasn't at this point. Going to go with the conservative sentiment that several have shown on this board; don't assume the recruit will play until you see them in a jersey.
Ya man he had a rough championship game. Watching that game, I wondered if they even have a weight room on campus. Griffey was the strongest player on the team.
Leaves Omar, Phil, TSam, Kentan, SC, and RL on the bench. Exciting little lineup we would have. However, if we lose RB or DD, things are little more fishy.
I am in my second year of medical school now very strongly considering pediatric oncology. This is devastating news. It never gets easier to swallow every time I see a child die from cancer. I've worked at the Paul Newman camp in Florida, Camp Boggy Creek, to uplift kids with cancer just like...
How good does Brimah get to feel that he made that epic 3 point play. What a huge confidence booster going forward. I expect him to be a 10/10 guy next year.
I hope that Shabazz has a serious with these guys about what it means to stick around when your draft stock is questionable and the importance of a degree. It would be a huge move both on and off the court if we could get these guys to graduate.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he is not regretting his decision. Obviously, I wish he had of stayed a few more years at UConn because our frontcourt has not been our strength in the last 5 years, but he already reached the pinnacle of college basketball by winning the national...
I think we need to be cautious of their team as well. I understand that we are the underdogs, but like us, they are playing their best basketball and are streaky like us. Should be a whale of a game, but definitely don't underestimate their team. I hope the good guys in white are cutting the...
Don't know if this was posted elsewhere, but a great stat from ESPN.
Connecticut was at its best when it inserted freshmen guard Terrence Samuel into the lineup alongside Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright. In 18 minutes with Samuel on the court, the Huskies outscored Florida by 15 points and...
Congrats to all BYers, enjoy this win for 24 hours and then get focused for Monday. Brimah and Nolan have made amazing strides from Game 1 to the championship. Giffey has been a monster on the boards as well and he's a do-everything "Hoosiers" player. Big props to the entire coaching staff!!!!
I love his intensity. He did a great job managing the foul trouble situation, even though we were on the short of end of some rotten calls. He is everything good about college basketball.
