Likely won't know anything until he is on campus.

I wonder if a Taurean Thompson commitment would increase the chance of Durham redshirting

Keep in mind, he's a skilled guy who if things work out (always a big if), probably isn't a 4-year guy.

So, if he can give them anything and he is close to ready by opener, I would bet they play him when he becomes cleared.

Good point. I just don't know where he is recovery-wise. The kid is coming off a 2nd ACL surgery. He hasn't played much in the last few years, so if we were worried about rust on transfers like Purvis and Larrier, I think the rust factor combined with playing big time college basketball for the first time, it might make the most sense to red-shirt him. Let him practice with the team and get acclimated. Then when he does come back he's another year removed from injury and is better acclimated to the college game.

However, if he comes in healthy and ready to go, might as well play him. 'Rique is getting all the love, but Durham has a chance to be a special player if healthy.

Uneducated guess, but I'll be shocked if he doesn't. Tall athletic guy getting surgery in April? 6 months to mid October. So he'd be rehabbing the whole offseason, and jump right into playing? After sitting out much of the last 2 years. Just doesn't make any sense to me.

Is it a partial tear or something?

The surgery was from mid-November.

My guess is he doesn't redshirt, just has strictly limited practice and game-time until, let's say, February. Imo if he's projected to be fully fit by then we should make sure he's available, b/c he's a legit talent on both sides of the court.

I am really hoping Juwan comes back strong. Sounds like such a great kid and has great potential to be a difference maker at UConn. How about we wait to see before deciding what he should do with a year of his life?
