He'll have some workouts, make some connections, and come back to work on his game and graduate. You never know, he may impress the right people with his BBIQ and his all-around game. Best of luck Alex.

Exactly the player we need at center with 2 years to play. Very excited for next year, Tarris Jr is going to absolutely kill it here.

My hypothesis is that we are trying to land McNeely before adding another guard that can shoot the lights out whether it be Hausen, Brea, or someone else. Still a lot of players entering the portal.

Great post, on the money. Somehow Sears scored 24 in that game anyway; I was surprised. We had the distinct advantage last year of locking up the other team's best scorer. It was really a big key to our winning game after game. We'll see who steps up next year to defend alongside Hassan.

Yes! The first visit from McNeely. How good would this be.

What's going on with Brendan Hausen from Villanova? Haven't heard much lately.

This is really impressive, for an excellent coach in his own right, for Miller to give this much respect to the UConn coaches, and the culture and the program they have built. Sean Miller with the assist.

I read Hurley stating the importance of Hassan staying, the veteran player, the "bridge" between last year's team and this year's. On the floor for sure, he was so much better this year, but the inference was more about the culture, the chemistry, in practice and in the locker room. The glue...

I was just busting with the wink reference. Sorry if I jumped too soon. Come on down Terris Reed, play for the back-to-back National Champions, be a part of the triple crown.

That's kind of a wink @Matrim55 :) This is great news, staff gets their target. It's a real plus that he has two years and can really buy into the program.

This is a good take, makes a lot of sense, and I can see it going this way. We'll have to wait and see.

You state your opinions like facts. You are well-informed but you come across like you are always right and that is not possible. If I remember right, and I could be wrong here, Johnson started an exhibition game or maybe an early season cupcake, then he injured his foot in practice and Karaban...

For this to be correct it would have been sophomore Johnson and freshman Karaban, but maybe?

It was a beautiful offense this year, a joy to watch, and I do not think SJ at the 4 would have made it better. You misunderstood my post, and maybe some others did too. I was simply suggesting that next year, if SJ develops his game during this offseason and can earn time at the 4 it would help...

Yeah, so why was Samson nearly the starter over Karaban two years ago? I don't think we've really seen his whole game, Hurley keeps his players in their roles. Plus, there is the whole offseason here for SJ to work on his game. See what happens, I'm rooting for him.

Adama is just so strong in the post; he's a bull. Been waiting for this, he's such a hard worker. Humble guy that carries himself so well.

Two years ago at the beginning of the season SJ and Karaban were neck and neck for who would start at the 4. SJ got hurt, Karaban took over and SJ never made it back into the rotation. This past year SJ played out of position, Hurley using him as a backup game-changing 5. Next year, SJ will need...

Looks like he's here with his mom and dad, how good is that. for a victory parade. UConn Nation filling the streets of the capital city. The heir apparent at the 5.

Two things : 1] It may be that the timing of Clingan's very immediate draft declaration is connected to Terris Reed's OV this weekend. I would think that the coaching staff plans most of this stuff. 2] I don't think Samson Johnson has a body type that will accept enough pounds or muscle that...

This, all of this. Defensively owning the post. He has a lot of natural athleticism and power. Playing in Hurley's sets, staff will develop him into a draft pick.

A very exciting time right here. Hurley building next year's roster is a sampling of delights. The players we're being connected to, Hausen, a top ten shooter in the country, Tarris Reed, who moves so well for a post up center, tough to push off the blocks, other top centers as well, McNeely...

This is some of the best news right here. With Moore and Hurley the best staff in the country bar none.

We are smoking right now. McNeely would be such a player in this offense.

Fresh starts/2nd chances can be pivotal for the right people.

One of the best articles ever about UConn Basketball! Props to Michael Cohen and Fox Sports.

Hassan made believers out of a lot of us. We would not be this good without him, he is maybe one of the most improved players in the conference from last year to this year, and is having himself an excellent season. A perfect fit on this team as the sixth man.

He is the spoon that stirs the pot, and he is the number one key to a 2nd championship.

Props to Mike Anthony for a really well-written and in-depth article, and for giving us all a look at what sort of person Samson is. Huge X factor this year and he is powering his way thru it.
