1.) The second surgery was a different procedure if im not mistakenHe dislocated the same shoulder twice before coming to UConn. After the second time he had preventative surgery to keep it from happening again. He rehabbed all summer before his freshman year, then he promptly went out and dislocated it again just a couple games in leading to another surgery (and missing the whole season). I would say it's definitely something to be concerned about.
Chief Approves:I've said this before. This board severly underrates rique. He's a star
I think it was just the hospital for regular surgery. That could be the issue...Where did he have the surgery? Prob not Hospital for Special Surgery.
If everyone stays healthy and plays at the top end of their range, we have a FF caliber backcourt, 1-4.
We have an IOU frontcourt. You can't win with half a team.
I'm high on Carlton. Maybe it's just because I feel like we're desperate for production but I think he can be as good as Nolan and Brimah were in 2014. If Diarra can grab boards too we might be alright. There will be no depth but it may not be as bad as we think.
honestly I'm more concerned with the coaching than the roster. The staff will have to get really creative if we don't add any more serviceable players in the front court.Love the enthusiasm, but with no depth up front things could get real ugly if there is any foul trouble. We still need a few more decent bigs to solidify the roster.
