By April 18th last year, Sanogo, Hawkins and Andre had declared for the draft and Alleyne, Springs and Hasson has announced they are transferring. Other than Clingan declaring, it's been crickets from the current guys. Should we read into that at all? Particularly the non-Castle freshmen?

Play hard and run your stuff. We'll be fine. I'm gonna throw up.

It's harder to do play-by-play than color as you age. We love Bill Raftery, but it would be unlistenable if he was on play by play.

Love DC, but he has played a fraction of the minutes over his entire UConn career than someone like Kemba or Shabazz played in individual seasons. Let’s just enjoy Clingan and appreciate his incredible contribution to this program.

Calhoun is the most important figure in UConn men's basketball history. But I think Hurley is already the second most important. He has secured UConn's spot as an inter-generational national power (translation: blue blood). Calhoun is our Dean Smith, and Hurley can be our Roy Williams. Man, if...

It’s not peaking if you dominate all season long.

Rivers didn’t coach last night. First game on the sidelines is tomorrow.

Dusty May, Mark Pope, Anthony Grant, or Chris Mooney.

Safe to say Spencer and Newton are the best transfers in UConn basketball history?

Yes, but I feel a lot better about this year’s Big East slate than I did last year. Marquette can clip us. So can Creighton if they shoot with any level of efficiency. One of Providence, Nova and St John’s might get us, but I don’t see losing 6 of 7 anywhere on the remaining schedule.

Would have been great to win, probably should have won, but I feel really good about this team. Especially when Castle is back. Beat UNC and Gonzaga

Lol they were missing Kasey Hill and Chris Walker, "stud" freshmen who both ended up being complete busts at both the college and professional levels.

That sucks. Just hope he is back by conference play. If Castle is out until January, the new goal is to beat Indiana and win 2 of Texas, North Carolina, Kansas and Gonzaga. Go into Big East play 9-2 and get healthy.

Hurley is an open book in this piece. About as in-depth a look into our guy's head as you can find. Fascinating read, borders on harrowing. It put my place as a UConn fan in perspective. We're lucky to have Hurley at the helm.

Most highly anticipated season I can remember. Maybe since 11-12, but that was for different reasons. So many storylines to be excited about... Can we defend our national title? Do we secure a Big East tourney and/or regular season title? Does Clingan play like an All-American? Where will...

Some of the comments here are wild. He is still on the Hornets roster this year and has a chance to turn things around. Sure it's probably his last chance, but if he rehabs hard and plays well when he's back from injury, he might stick in the league. It's not over for him. For all his flaws...

Even Cam knows the Big 10 is overrated. Great choice. Dude is going to be a stud this year.

???

Exactly. This is the most Hurley quote I've ever read. Sniffing out any trace of complacency.

My final guess is 7.

Impressive, but did we learn nothing from Seventh Woods? Or Kwintin Williams for that matter? :D

Amazing ball movement. Very encouraging to see. Cam being a solid 3rd ballhandler really opens things up in the starting unit.

This is going to sound nuts, and he’s not in the same stratosphere, but Tyrese’s game looks like Lebron’s. Similar style.

Why would they have forgotten Tyrese? He was drafted just last year and is one of like 5 UConn guys on an NBA roster.

Hoping Andre gets a guaranteed deal like this.

Care to be more specific? Or we’re just going to blast the kid for letting his team down? He had the car crash incident and was punished. Obviously he’s had his personal problems in the NBA, but what else during his time at UConn?

This is a wild take. Why? You expected the #69 recruit on ESPN to exceed 19ppg as a sophomore and being an NBA lottery pick?

Wherever they end up, I think all 3 will see NBA minutes next year. Pretty cool.

Lets goooo!!!

Alex Karaban and Donovan Clingan = Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky

Clingan will get tested as he steps into the starter role. Big matchups against Hunter Dickinson and now Armondo Bacot.

Ohhhh boyyyy

I think we're grossly underestimating the immediate impact of Solo Ball. After Castle, he's tied as our highest-rated recruit on ESPN in 7 years!

NBA coaching is almost entirely about managing personalities. I think KO will have success in an NBA job. He failed in college because he was a bad recruiter and roster builder. Outside of some talent in the 2016 class, nearly every recruiting class of his sucked.

Sounds like Adama has made a couple trips to the Bahamas for NIL stuff. Love it!
