Men's basketball is a very good net generator of funds so it doesn't require maximum resources; just the opposite unlike most of the other sports both men and women. So football has been treated like it is: a large drain on resources. How and where do you get a plan that turns that around...

This program has not been led by lost sheep for the last few decades. Jim Calhoun came here with a vision and a will to win by competing. He learned from the best. Red Auerbach won 9 NBA titles and his disciples (Heinsohn 2, Russell 2 and KC Jones 2). Consider JC as a disciple of Aurebach...

It's the adams apple.

LOL!

I want another year of domination victories. I want other schools to dread having to play Uconn. I want our guys to play with the intensity of our coaching staff. I want the entire team to get excited about getting on campus early this summer because it's their identity and destiny. I want...

Agree. This year we finessed others on offense to run around in circles and exhaust themselves. Are Nowell and Abraham considered roughly as fast as Hass and Ball? I'm looking forward to some explosive track meet play. It's looking like a deeper rotation with a lot of options. Those...

Some folks on here have professional grade sarcasm worthy of standup. Hilarious.

He must have regularly depressed a lot of opponents when he stepped on the court and raised the level of intensity and speed when the opponents were already sucking wind. As Painter said "lock down defenders coming off the bench." And his offense and decision making picked up this year as well.

Doooooooomed.

I think you have demonstrated your point pretty well. All that glitters isn't always gold; at least as a freshman. Once again good research.

This is the team that brought you God Shammgod in 2012.

Good research. I wasn't thinking of him as always playing Pt guard; just in the mix as a ballhandler and a defender. Someone pointed out that we may be playing a deeper rotation next year and I tend to agree with that. I'm told both recruits are very good defenders so we might see more...

Expecting Nowell to get serious minutes at guard next season. Cannot see him not in the mix.

Hard to demonstrate his offensive moves (he had good good footwork moves like Sanogo and could shoot with either hand including hooks ) when you are being doubled and triple teamed. He was much maligned for not having gone to a prep school and yet had better moves than any incoming center to...

Reed the Legend played in the Garden with pain:

And Singare?

LOL

LOL.

Shows all lot more all around skills in this video. A lot more for he and the staff to work with than originally shown. Mr Reed just made a great decision and he has two years availability!!! 247 shows him getting all the right offers from name schools so they saw something as well.

I am absolutely sure our staff will give him excellent advice and encouragement because there is nothing they would like more than to see him grow. He is an incredibly gifted athlete. He just has to really want this and just say "I need help." We have the resources to help if he is willing...

After leaving Michigan and coming to Uconn the practices might help a bit there if need be LOL. He looks kind of cat like quick from 10 feet in. A lot to like if our staff likes him. His environment is about to change 100% and if he is a gamer (and betting he is knowing our staff) it will be...

Dan Hurley doesn't take unnecessary chances. He is where he is because he knows how to measure risks and be prepared with plan A, plan B and plan C etc.

Aren't we forgetting that Clingan is his own person and he alone will make this decision because it IS HIS DECISION? I agree that financially speaking it is hard to imagine not taking this opportunity and a serious risk because of potential injury (last I knew the Lloyds of London max for...

If this was posted previously my bad. Someone is not afraid of what the Uconn Nation knows and its in FACTS. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/uconns-second-straight-national-title-comes-in-dominant-style-cementing-the-huskies-as-a-modern-dynasty/

Ball has over the top athletic ability. He needs to get to campus this summer asap with whoever else is serious about next season. Two years ago AJ and Sanogo were the first ones there and set a standard. The NIL thing can be a real detriment to this if not done wisely. We need those with...

And there are so many to choose from. My favorites are like when he gets in the face of entire opponent student sections and stares at them after the game at MSG tourney and points at the exit sign! He'll be enshrined forever as a Uconn favorite. Exactly the offensive sparkplug and fiery on...

Certain centers and even some guards/forwards in the recent past. You won't see Clingan or Johnson getting anything near that kind of call.

I think the moment was captured in the picture with the rookie Castle and Cam hugging at the end of the game and Castle's big smile. Priceless.

"Carpenter" in more ways than one. The strength is the unity and unselfishness to apply winning tactics. This is beyond astonishing.

As long as we can continue to recruit great players (willing to play team ball with varying degrees of talent but enough to win it all) we can continue to watch this antiquated method of team building and coaching and LOL. It will one day be looked back upon with head shaking and that...

Very very good point. A substantial lead takes the win/loss out of the refs hands.

Exce Excellent read. Finally, a very coherent explanation about this incredible offense. Thanks!!

Now and in time to be.
