From David Borges of the New Haven Register.
A midsummer’s look at how the AAC stacks up in men’s basketball, New Haven Register
• UCONN: The Huskies have veterans Rodney Purvis, Amida Brimah and Kentan Facey back, along with talented sophomore guard Jalen Adams and an incoming freshman class so good they’ve dubbed themselves the “Top 5.”McDonald’s All-American Alterique Gilbert, a point guard, leads that group.
Terry Larrier, the spindly VCU transfer who sat out last season, should help ease the surprise departure of Daniel Hamilton to the NBA. And 6-10 Steve Enoch should be improved this season after playing for the Armenian U18 national team this summer.
Head coach Kevin Ollie has liked what he’s seen so far this summer from his team.
“It’s a young team,” he noted, shortly before heading out to help coach the USA U18 national team. “We lost six players and four starters. Guys are gonna really have to step up and be ready to perform. This summer is very, very crucial. We’re demanding our players get in the gym, and I think they’re demanding it themselves. I think they’re really policing themselves, because there’s a lot of opportunity out there.”
