[UCDaveD]

Get some!

 

[kansashusky]

They have Vital staying and Akok at the five.

 

[Mano]

Boyoyoing!!!

 

[Candyman]

Carlton not starting? Not sure how they messed that one up.

 

[GetTheFacts]

How is Josh Carlton not a projected starter?

But hey, I'll take it.

 

[king conn]

Shouldn't this be on the weed thread

 

[polycom]

Man I wish we had Yakwe for 4 years.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Man I wish we had Yakwe for 4 years.

You do?

 

[polycom]

You do?

He seemed like a serviceable defensive backup.

 

[coachn]

Gilbert,Carltton,,Vital,Akok,BAdams. Bouknight Gafney,Polley Wilson off bench.Expect Whaley tocontribute.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I think that is wildly optimistic about UConn, but I will take it.

 

[CTBasketball]

Today is a great Monday!

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

He seemed like a serviceable defensive backup.

No disrespect to the dude as he started to come into his own before he got injured, but we can and will do better in the coming years. He was a walking injury liability. Or rather a hopping injury liability.

 

[Drew]

This should certainly piss off a lot of Memphis fans. And I love it.

 

[Guapo]

Came here to write some dopey sarcastic “where is UConn??” post.

Honestly shocked.

 

[navery12]

This is not what I was expecting when opening the thread

 

[Austin316]

Find your happy place

 

[Rico444]

Rob is a CT guy, so it's not too surprising that he tacked UConn onto the bottom of his list 7 months before the season starts, when the list really means nothing. I'll be stunned if we're in either preseason poll unless we get Precious or a stud grad transfer and even if we are we have a ways to go to prove we belong there.

 

[Austin316]

As of now I envision Hurley is going to do something like this with a healthy team. Major minutes with the these line ups.

Big line up:
AG, CV, Sid, Akok, Carlton
Bench: Gaff, Bouk, Polley
Some mins: BA

Small line up
AG, CV, Bouk, Polley, Carlton
Bench: Gaff, Sid, Akok
Some mins: BA

Not sure on Whaley. I read from a poster he was lost all year on the court. Mamadou is questionable for health reasons. I think this class is done with the exception of a GT or JUCO, hope I am wrong. Am I missing anyone?

 

[WrenchFan69]

If Jalen had one more year of eligibility, I think we are actually a top 25 team. I believe we're a little bit better next year, probably end up on the bubble.

 

[GHSWolverines]

Man I wish we had Yakwe for 4 years.

why????

 

[MDHuskFan]

Well I’m chubb’d

 

[Walker11]

why????

I would take 4 years of Yakwe if last year was his 18 year old level performance and not his 22 year old performance

 

[bazz&boujee]

but but... i like it when they doubt us
