Scrappy, is that you?

I've been thinking a lot about the makeup of this new team, and how things are slowly but surely shaping up before the season kicks off. I consider myself a millennial Uconn fan, 27 years old, became a fan after the 99' ship, became a die-hard fan after the 04' ship. With that said I can't...

He's probably the most put together guy on the team.

Still can't believe Alterique has shoulder problems. For small dude, he's diesel .

I love how many players we have with chips on their shoulders who are out to prove something this season... Cobb KW Terry Alterique Mamadou Jalen Should create for some hard play and hunger

Big difference is Shabazz didn't start games to begin with Lamb did and rightfully so. Also Bazz didn't supplant Kemba in games and knew his role. Kemba was the leader whereas Jalen played second fiddle to Rique to start the year and played almost exclusively off the ball those 3 games with...

New Haven Register article. UConn’s Alterique Gilbert learned a lot after most recent shoulder injury

Yes it is Ollie fault 100% . In college you need to recruit and have a plan b and a plan c. We have 248th ranked guys or the 57th juco as our plan B if someone is hurt. This is simple math. . So yes it is Ollie fault . He is the head coach and the blame rises to the top

I give him a mulligan (mostly) for last year, but if we have another nightmare season b/c of injuries to those two guys, then yes, it is KO's fault because he wasn't able to recruit or hold onto or develop adequate replacements. Hopefully that's not a bridge we'll have to cross.

If any team loses 3 good players... any coach would struggle. At least KO went out fighting and some players stepped up. We made it to the semis of the AAC. If we had a decent ref staff calling the Cinci game we would have been in the championship game!

Why aren't there adequate backups? KO has failed to land any resemblance of depth. After we lost 4 players to other pastures, plenty of people on this board were ecstatic solely because Chillious was hired to go get us some players. So yeah, if those 2 go down again, not good. Worse that there's...

And if Larrier's knee is shot, and Alterique's shoulder pops out again is it still KO's fault if they don't win 20?

Barring any injuries Alterique is going to be an absolute STUD this upcoming season. Unlike Larrier he'll have his legs underneath him and a major chip on his shoulder (pun intended). He, Larrier and Diarra are going to be some extremely hungry huskies with a dark cloud of doubt-filled fans...

not to mention, post surgery you lose some movement. Not a ton, but I lost almost 10% of my range of motion. That's something you need to adjust to as a high level athlete

What is different about what repair was done this time vs. last time? I honestly don't know, and you clearly know a lot more about this injury and its course of treatment than most.

Me too, that's why I'm really surprised so many boneyarders are penciling in Larrier and Gilbert in as stars. They are elite talents for sure but Larrier will be coming off of barely playing for two years and having to believe his surgically repaired knee won't fail him. Alterique has never...

I'm more worried about the mental side of past injuries than I am about the physical limitations. I had the same injuries as AG and had a bankart repair. While physically I was 100% after about 3 months, I didn't really "feel" 100% for about 18 months.

As long as you realize I didn't say what you are saying I said. I worried any serious hit on Alterique's shoulder and he would be done and need surgery just like I feared with Dunn, I was right on both counts. For a couple days Ollie was pretending Alterique could be playing right away, I said...

Amazing you got that out of what I really said. Also, Jalen will be gone after this season and we will need another point guard. Jalen, Alterique and Tremont would all play a ton this upcoming season.

Must have confused you with another poster. I'm remote now and can't search and paste, but I could have sworn you harped on Alterique's shoulder repeatedly and diagnosed it before his own doctors did, and even questioned KO's wisdom in giving him a scholarship in the first place because of his...

This post is really out there. I never said anything close to me wanting or thinking Tremont would take Alterique's job and never said I don't think Alterique's shoulder will hold up. I've said what I always say over and over about UConn basketball, we are always at our best when we start two...

Ok. I'll just watch this one play out. Admittedly I know nothing other than what I've read here. I'll just say that I do not agree with your philosophy that the inquiry begins and ends with the fact that he is a great player. I believe in fit, and I believe our track record shows that that...

I don't care enough to go back and look, but I'm positive there would at least 100 posts from this past season where people talked about the need for a 2nd ball handler on the court. It's not hard to envision a scenario where Gilbert and Waters are both able to run the offense

What? Both, why is there all of a sudden room for only one? Worked out amazingly well with Bazz and Boat. When our team is great it is always run with 2 starting point guards. Unfortunately we also can't be positive Alterique's shoulder will hold up.
