    SF Justin Jackson (picks Maryland)

    I dont think Dorsey's decision impacts JJ...Brooks maybe, but my bet is JJ is confident enough that he can play at both schools...just like purvis and Brimah coming back should not effect his decision...but i'm not a 18 yr high school kid w parents in my ear either...

    Abdul Malik-Abu "seriously considering transferring"

    FWIW...my son goes to NCSU...knows Abu and several of the other bball players...he told him he was a UCONN fan and they laughed...he had nothing but good things to say about Uconn and KO...ACC was the kicker...

    Rodney Purvis would be entering his junior year

    Can't replace Bazz!!!! Niels provided so much as a shooter and 'Senior leader'. So IMO Ryan has to be the leader, but Purvis could develop into that 'go to guy' to compliment RB. DHam will have to be as good as advertised. Sam Cass Jr will probably have to be key scorer off the bench...

    My Preseason Top Ten

    I think Morgan Tuck, if healthy, could be an additional weapon that makes us even stronger. She could be that 6th man that gives us offense, defense and rebounding. We need Chong to have a Moriah type jump from frosh to soph and we need 1 of the frosh to become a solid contributor. If all...

    Uconn's reputation - a conundrum

    I have never worried about the media or national perception. I'm a Uconn alum and LOVE UCONN. Period. But it will help recruiting. KO is a star, but I think his personality is so likable and humble, yet confident, it will be well received. I really don't care about it. I remember 99...

    Emmert's Trophy Presentation

    Because they take all 'gut' 100 level classes. Art History, Movies and TV 101, Yoga 101...12 credits show up for class a few times, write a paper (that the academic tutors review and help update) and walllaaaa....

    Omar Calhoun?

    Lets hope and pray he's healthy, works hard like he stated and comes back with more confidence. I see him being a Giffey / Kromah combo guard off the bench. If he can knock down open 3s he can be a valuable guy in the rotation.

    UConn is 13-2 in NCAA Tournament in last 5 years

    Well, to be fair, we've only been in the big dance 3 out of those 5 years...great record, but we need to be a regular in the NCAAs. Missing the dance is not an option for an elite program like UCONN. I know last year was not 'fair', but I can't wait for KO to have this program in the NCAAs...

    We needed this! Congrats Huskies

    I really like Samuel and Facey. I think both can be really good 3-4 yr guys that can contribute a lot as they mature and gain experience. I'm not sure either is gonna be a star, but look at NG, can anyone really say when he was a frosh they thought he'd be the player he is today ? KO is...

    3-headed monster

    I agree...if those 3 can give u 12 and 8...plus defend, we are OK. 15 and 10 would be better :rolleyes:

    John A. on Wilson

    Please! Our kidding me ???? UNC is one of the top 5 State Universities along w UVA, Cal B, and Umich. Uconn is a good school, but not even close in terms of overall academics to UNC - CH.

    Facey's rebounding

    I can see him being one of those soph stories of kids making big jumps. He needs to get bigger / stronger and improve offensive game, but agreed the kid seems to have a nose for the ball off the boards. Would love to see KO get him some more minutes, but over who ?

    Are we ranked again?

    No. beating a Harvard team without there best player and beating UCF don't jump us into top 25 imo. Don't really care either. If we beat Memp and Lou we jump into top 25...

    TJ Not One of the Assistants Who Announced He is Moving On

    Its Diaco's call. Its his team. I suspect he will interview and determine who will help him WIN GAMES! College Football is so competitive you can't feel sorry for any of these coaches. They know the deal. I like TJ and respect how he kept the team together at the end of the season, but if...

    Where is UConn at QB? (Silver)

    If i'm the new coach, EVERYONE earns it in spring practice. That is the intent of bringing a new coach in. He needs to evaluate talent and determine his system. Obviously the cream should rise to the top, but a new coach needs to make it his team! Not based on who did what on a 3-9 team...
