Great news. I hope we don't start getting all hyped up on a national level now by the media outlets. Still want us underrated so these kids work hard and have something to prove! Excited about this season!

Well we weren't that great at center in 2014 and won it but yes AB has to come back stronger or the new kid might see a lot of time at center (SE).

Hope he finally gets his butt to a Big Boy camp this summer.

Boy am I glad I was at my daughter's lacrosse tournament all day and missed the false-Kasango alerts!

Have to give Ollie big time credit for finding a different path to an elite recruiting class. Gibbs and Miller is equivalent to getting 2 top 10 freshman recruits (kids you would only have 1 year anyway), only more polished, experience and mature versions. UConn ingenuity prevails.

"Kevin Ollie is a great coach, coming from an NBA background, and it's just really a great family atmosphere there," Temple Gibbs said via phone shortly after Sterling announced his decision. "(Staying in the Northeast) was a big part of it, so we're real happy about that."

The cherry on top: Gibbs will be a featured guy in a place where they routinely hang banners.

"That was a big key to it," Temple said. "He wanted to be part of a team that could get to the (NCAA) tournament. Those guys can get there."
 
Why, you think the kids decide how hard they play or try based on their ranking? Goofy

Great job as usual, tcf15. Thanks for your contributions on just about a daily basis...gives me hope for the future in some strange way.
 
Didn't see this posted but liked it so much I figured I would add.

From Sam Vecenie at cbssports.com :
From Gibbs' perspective, it's not hard to see the appeal of UConn. Over the past decade, every lead guard that has started at UConn has gotten a legitimate chance to play in the NBA.

Players can get big heads, get overconfident. But I think we have excelled from the underdog position in the past. Not so much about the effort.
