Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3237738, member: 44"] 1. UConn makes the NCAA tournament this year with an 8 seed or better? [B]Yep, look for a slowish start as we figure out the pieces and the frosh get comfortable, but January on we'll turn heads.[/B] 2. UConn has a top 4 finish in the American standings? [B]No, but 5th seems possible.[/B] 3. Our first 2020 recruit, aside from Cole, will be a Center?[B] I wish but no.[/B] 4. Gilbert averages more points per game than Carlton this season? Great question. [B]My gut reaction is yes but AG will have a whole lot of targets so he'll be forced to take less shots, Also having more targets means we can spread the floor opening up the drive and dish to Josh or Akok. I'll go with no.[/B] 5. Akok will lead Freshman this season in points per game?[B] Nope. [/B] 6. Gaffney averages more min per game than Bouknight? [B]Nope but not by much.[/B] 7. Tyler Polley makes the most 3 pointers on the team this season? [B]Nope. [/B] 8. Richie Springs will top Steven Enoch’s Freshman stats of 1.6 pts/ 1.5 rebounds ave. [B]Of course, he's a brandy new and thus has no faults. I actually like his athleticism and hops, so yes.[/B] 9. The first game Hurley faces Penny, it’s a win for UConn? [B]Yes.[/B] 10. Team Points per gm (73.8) is down from last year? [B]You'd think so without Jalen but I'll say no. Scoring is going to easier with different guys stepping up.[/B] 11. Akok leads the team in blocked shots and records more than 70. [B]No playing time will be issue as it tough to learn to block without fouling.[/B] 12. Brendan Adams is more valuable to the team than Sid Wilson? [B]I'm going with yes. I love Sid's athleticism and potential, but I'm not sure he's putting in the work over summer. I expect Brendan wasn't in the greatest shape last year. I think he'll be better this year and do the little things needed [/B](like playing defense)[B] to earn playing time in Hurley's system.[/B] 13. UConn makes an appearance in the Top25 this season? [B] Kind of the opposite of my answer to #1 but I'll say yes. We could go on a run that might get us noticed.[/B] [/QUOTE]
