Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2795724, member: 44"] [I]5. UCONN Best player: Jalen Adams, who Dan Hurley wants (needs) to live up to that moniker every day in practice and in games. Best newcomers: [URL='https://www.nhregister.com/sports/article/Dan-Hurley-lands-first-UConn-commitment-12835682.php']Brendan Adams, a freshman [/URL]and brother of Jaylen (not Jalen), and A-10 Sixth Man of the Year [URL='https://www.nhregister.com/sports/article/Dan-Hurley-lands-first-UConn-commitment-12835682.php']Tarin Smith, a grad transfer from Duquesne[/URL] who played for Hurley’s dad, Bob, at St. Anthony’s. Biggest loss: Terry Larrier Biggest question mark: Can Alterique Gilbert, after missing nearly all the past two seasons with shoulder woes, remain healthy? That’s the key to it all. Hurley’s already turned around two other programs, and he’s got the talent here to do it again. Jalen Adams is the league’s best player. Alterique Gilbert could be AAC preseason Rookie of the Year a third straight season. Christian Vital averaged nearly 15 per game last season. But there are question marks galore. Can Gilbert finally stay healthy? Can Adams be the best player on the court every night? Can a big man or two (Josh Carlton? Eric Cobb?) step up? Will a team dogged by bad habits and questionable poor work ethic the past couple of years buy into Hurley’s no-nonsense, high-energy style? (It’s telling that not a single player transferred after Hurley replaced Kevin Ollie). [/I] [/QUOTE]
