No-Longer-Way-Too-Early Top 25 in college hoops
21. Connecticut Huskies
Dubbing a team the class of the American Athletic Conference may not be the most fawning of compliments, but it appears to be true of Connecticut. Whether the Huskies will transcend these kinds of jokes (and they already have, forcefully so) will depend on what kind of leap Kevin Ollie coaxes from sophomore point guard Jalen Adams. Losing Daniel Hamilton was a blow, but there's more talent on the way. Plus, despite all of last season's frustrations, the Huskies were almost always one of the 15 best per-possession defenses in the country. That's a pretty good place to start.
