Williams listed as a sophomore... awesome

Williams listed as a sophomore... awesome

He's like our Kirk Fitzpatrick. He'll be almost 26 by the time he graduates.

 

[SubbaBub]

Tallest guy is 6'9". We better shoot and defend well.

 

[huskiesnyc]

Larrier listed as a junior. Is he not allowed to apply for a medical redshirt because he already sat out a year coming from VCU?

 

[Dynasty]

Didn't know Noyes is a grad student. Neat to see.

 

[Storrs South]

Larrier listed as a junior. Is he not allowed to apply for a medical redshirt because he already sat out a year coming from VCU?

He's not going to be in college for 6 years so it's a moot point

 

[Palatine]

Well, we have enough guys to hold a practice.

Thanks. Now need to study and learn who is wearing what number.

Yeah, I thought Noyes was gone. That's cool.

Can't wait for the season to start!

 

[sledog]

4 at 6-9,
3 at 6-8,
2 at 6-7,
3-5 guards. Lomotey and Foxon have moved on.

 

[RichZ]

No one listed as a center or combo fwd/ctr.
Been a long time since we didn't have anyone over 6-9 on the team.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Most impressive stat is the weights on the bigger guys. Not too many stick figure bigs anymore. I am really encouraged by that.

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Larrier listed as a junior. Is he not allowed to apply for a medical redshirt because he already sat out a year coming from VCU?

Could apply for one when his senior year comes along. But like Storrs said, he probably won't be in college for 6 years.

This team is constructed to press and run...Reminds of the 89-90 squad. Hopefully can go 10-11 deep and up tempo it. I think this will be a sweet 16 team.

Sweet 16 of the NIT? I guess if Jalen is going off for 30 PPG this year there is a chance for the NCAA Tourney sweet 16.

Really weak roster on paper that hopefully can surprise. I can see UCONN being anywhere from 3 to close to last place in the AAC. Hopefully everybody is healthy and we can play better than expectations. At least we have some girth inside this year.

Very interested in hearing you expand on this.

Foxen is still on the team...he's a senior this year

That's basically the way medical redshirts work... you don't get them until your eligibility is used up.

If that is the case why is Gilbert listed as a freshman?

 

[Wordbomar]

Because he took a normal red shirt not medical

 

[DonaldDraper]

# of games played in a husky uniform by (scholly) players other than Adams and Vital = 7

Hopefully the roles and responsibilities are fleshed out early. It won't be a fun early half of the season if it takes a while for the team to gel.

This, combined with our overall talent concerns, is why this is going to be another frustrating season. College teams with minimal experience as a unit typically don't fare well.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Very interested in hearing you expand on this.

Not having a center over 6'9 is probably a good place to start.

• David Onuorah being our most experienced big, the next being Cobb who played something like 1 min a game his freshman year.
• Concern over Gilbert, Larrier, and Diarra coming back from their respective injuries 100% and staying healthy all year whilst playing the majority of min at their positions.
• Not having a pure back up 3.
• A lot rests on Adams and Vital taking huge steps up, not a given.
• Our incoming players are underwhelming on paper(Yes I know they can outperform their rankings; Vital)
• Lots of tough games early, we seem to start slow

I'm sure there's more, but I think you get the point.
