CBS Sports 2019-20 AAC predictions, preview

[HooperScooper]

Third one of the day.

UConn picked to finish 6th. ESPN had them 5th and NBC Sports had them 7th.

6. UConn
The loss of Jalen Adams in the back and Tarin Smith on the wing will hurt, but Christian Vital and Alterique Gilbert are back and make a dynamic backcourt to lead Dan Hurley's second season as coach before the Huskies make a beeline for the Big East. After finishing at .500 overall (6-12 in the league) last season, UConn is hoping to go out with a bit more of a bang than a bust. A strong incoming recruiting class that includes a trio of four-star newcomers should help, but without Adams and his heroics, it'll be hard for the Huskies to make any sort of considerable move above the middle of the pack.

The loss of Tarin Smith is going to hurt? Who writes these things?

Losing Smith will hurt? I must of been watching different games

Just another example of modern day research (?) and writing. Why look in depth into what you're writing about?
Tarin Smith on the wing? Jalen's heroics? Not so much last year as I recall.

Very little understanding of anything. The most cursory of looks at the team. Who left, who still here, who is new. Barf out a paragraph.

still laughing to hard to write a coherent response

It took me a minute to even remember who Tarin Smith was....

 

[QuickDraw]

OK! I hope the rest of the team feels slighted just a bit & decides to show Mr Dumas that there are actually 5 guys on the floor and Jalen was only 1 of them (he will be missed), Tarin wasn't good at all & was a bigger liability than asset most of the year (he was still needed). If AG didn't get injured how many minutes would he have really gotten.
