Alex is back!

[ec33]

Not that I know all the math, but this always seemed like the smart decision. Put off the dream one year and play your way into the first round. Happy for him.

And it works out pretty well for me, too.

 

[huskyblooz]

Can we get an updated chart?

 

[James]

I have no idea how we get guys playing time this year. We are loaded at the 3/4. Someone probably should have transferred.

Starters : Mahaney, Diarra , Mcneeley, Karaban, Reed

Bench Guards : Solo Ball, Nowell,
Bench forwards: Stewart, Abraham
Bench Big: Samson

Yeah minutes are tight but the team is friggin stacked. Sounds like "one of them good problems" to quote marlo stanfield

Depending on draft decisions of course, but it looks like there’s going to be a lot of good teams next year. This year it was just UConn, Purdue and Houston that looked elite. Kansas, Iowa State, Baylor, Houston, Duke, UConn, Gonzaga and Alabama all look poised to have fantastic teams. Karaban puts us in the top half of that group.

Revisionist history. Kansas, Duke, Baylor, NC, people were talking many more than 3 teams this year. We made all that talk stop, but it was more than just 3 teams.

The college basketball world just said holy crap this really sucks

Tourney Rotation:

Diarra 25 / Nowell 10 / Mahaney 5
Mahaney 25 / Ball 15
McNeeley 25 / Stew 10 / Ball 5
Karaban 30 / Stew 10
Reed 20 / Johnson 20

30: Mahaney / Karaban
25: Diarra / McNeeley
20: Ball / Stew / Reed / Johnson
10: Nowell

Bench: Ross / Abraham / Singare

Can put Karaban in sharpie at the 4, but the rest of the camp battles are going to be crazy to watch

Diarra/Mahaney/Ball fighting for the 2 guard spots. Mahaney will start, just TBD which spot he's at, and Nowell could even force his way into that battle too

Stewart/McNeeley for the 3 spot

Samson/Reed for the 5 spot

This team is gonna be deep, that's a legit 9 man rotation right there with a compelling case to start for basically everyone

Non Stone Cold gif?

You know it's a big deal when Austin316 breaks kayfabe.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

3 starters for 2 positions in Karaban, Stewart and McNeeley. Earned in practice between the latter two.

NIL is making college basketball pretty awesome. 10 years ago, a couple of dozen of these second round/borderline draft picks would have headed overseas. Now they are getting paid to produce in college.

 

[JesusAllen11]

Uconn Ever had back2back 1st team all Americans?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Phenomenal for the team. Was hoping, for him, he had that 1st round spot. But we have now completely reloaded. This team will be fun. The rest of college basketball?

Alex wants to become one of the very few players in college basketball history with 3 title rings. Kareem. Walton, Laetner all had 2. No one has won 4.

 

[Jaydumo20]

!!!!!!3!!!!!3!!!!3!!!!3!!!!!!3!!!!

Karaban is live with Dauster

 

[REB1094]

Welcome back to Storrs, future All American Alex Karaban!

 

[Ant3411]

Time to update the WTE Top 25

 

[IndyLives]

Alex will have to beat out Stewart and McNeally, two very talented players, for minutes. I hope he made the right decision. Danny will play the best players.

 

[JeannoCT]

So happy he’s coming back. I think his leadership will be very important for this team. Go huskies!!!

I can never tell if people are serious with this stuff.

What are we doing?

 

[gtcam]

Hurley knew this all along. He may face some push back by the McNeeley camp but he will figure it out. Now the team has the floor leadership it needs heading into a 3 quest season. Maybe AK can be slotted in the 2 or 3 spots where he can work on his handle and 3 pt shooting???
Welcome back AK
