I'm in the same boat as you. I'm kind of wait and see with Larrier. I'll say cautiously optimistic. He is athletic and talented, but as you mentioned, his shooting percentages were horrific last year.

He took terrible shots in a free-for-all offense. That's how I rationalize his low percentages. I'm assuming that KO will reel him in a bit so that he takes good shots within the scope of whatever offense we claim to run.

2004 -- the front court rotation with Emeka, Charlie, Josh and The Unit was scary effective, and our perimeter had Ben, Shad, Denham and Taliek.

How bout 06? Hilton, Josh, Rudy, Ed Nelson, Jeff Adrien. That's when Hilton was obviously at his best. That team was so loaded with Marcus at the point and Denham and Rashad from the perimeter. Still can't believe we lost to George Mason. They just never really came together as a team. Just out-talented most.
 
Hopefully Brown is scheduled to exit CT before the storm of the century... Not sure if a foot of snow would help recruiting a kid from the deep south..

I'm probably off on Larrier and basing things on a low FG%. But, my God, I want Duram healthy.

Remember the kid was only a frosh at VCU. Not everybody comes in and busts the doors off from day 1. It'll be interesting to see what he brings next year. He's had an extra year to (presumably) work on his shooting too.

Like Rodney, I expect him to take a while to kick the rust off though.

Every kid is different though. For a college kid who doesn't have to commute in snow, a change in scenery might be a welcome thing. I've lived in different parts of the country, including Storrs. The CT winters bothered me less when I was a college kid walking or taking buses around campus, compared to being an adult who has to deal with it on a totally different level. I'm sure he and Amida will have a good talk on the CT vs. FL weather. Apparently the CT winters didn't scare off him.
 


Maybe a 7 foot problem?

It could approach the 2004 front court, but Emeka, Josh, Hilton, and Charlie are pretty hard to beat. At least in the college level.

We just need our bigs to control the glass, block shots.. and finish around the basket... with our back court talent we can be a serious problem... Brown would automatically make us a Natl Title contender.

No he wouldn't. He'd help a ton, but we need a lot more than one more scoring big to be a national title contender.

No we don't we will be loaded the next couple of seasons.

If we get Ray Allen 1996, then I'm booking my tickets.

I'm assuming Miller having a good game in front of Zach Brown has some influence on him?
 
I think Zach is behind the UConn bench with a black coat, green shirt & winter cap on.

Yes that was him. I was sitting 4 rows behind him. The winter cap was a UConn one. UConn fans were shouting at him and he seemed to be loving it. He signed plenty of autographs too.

Was he was his guardian? I couldn't tell but noticed a guy with a busy shirt & hat next to him. Ha
