Named team captains for the year. Apparently Ollie asked Boat who he thought would make another good team captain and he said Brimah. Love to see a young guy stepping up.
Hearing that Amida was named captain surprised me and when I look over the roster, the "youth" of this team jumps out at you. If Amida starts, that's 4 new starters, with 3 brand new to playing any or significant minutes at UConn. While this is obvious, I need to remind myself of it because this team will have a lot to learn about playing together as a team. This will be a challenge for Boat as team leader and for the fans to be patient when they go through some rough patches. At the same time, I am really excited about the season starting to see what this new Husky year brings. Let the wild rumpus begin!
I was thinking of Omar myself.KO said he's looking to name one more captain...I think a guy like Omar Calhoun would be one of the potential fits as a 3rd captain. Coach raves about his attitude and how great of a teammate he was during last season.
I wouldn't mind seeing Omar rewarded for sticking with it and working hard this off season, it can also serve as a confidence boost and hopefully he can get back on track - we can really use his freshman year 3 point shooting
Purvis and Omar seem to be only other real options...can't envision photobombers TSam and Nolan being captain materialI could see Rodney being considered as he has been a great teammate and has been the host of visiting recruits.
Not mentioned in what?...as a team captain candidate?It does bother me a little that Facey is not even a mention. I hope he is working hard & developing too.
Not just for captain. I would like to hear some words about Facey like we have about Nolan, Brimah, Boat, Calhoun about their working hard/improved/adding muscle/ committing to defense.
I'm probably reading too much into the silence because, I believe, this is our weak spot.
