Hurley breaks down the 21-22 roster

[Chin Diesel]

Right now Justin Brown is the starter at center.

"His best days are ahead of him".

He expects Johnson to be a 2-3 player and onto the league. This kid is improving SO FAST. Awesome to see.

His comments on Akok whenever I see them really seem to suggest tempering expectations.

Happy to see him say Rese had a good summer as well. If he gets more consistent and can play that 2-4 position for us, we are a much better team for it.

Just as an FYI in the full interview (@Storrs South posted the video) he says he expects Adama, Whaley, and Akok to all play starter minutes

Crazy depth and roster flexibility that will be influenced by match-ups/foul-situations/hot hand/game flow. Less about who starts rather than who is finishing games.

Nice to see Dan Hurley giving Springs some props. Will be a valuable bench asset this year in the PT he receives. If some of our BIGs play themselves onto NBA Draft Boards by the end of this year. He will be an important guy to have for the 22/23 season. If he is an outstanding rebounder vs this stacked front court in practices/scrimmages--He's only getting better.

Really easy to forget Sanogo was a reclass freshman. He's probably only 19 now.

He's really young, will be 19 for the majority of this season and is only 2 months older than Diggins and Hawkins

I don't mind Cole being second leader scorer, but I'd like him closer to 11-12 than 15 ppg. I'd rather see him consistently being the 3rd or 4th scorer while Sanogo is leading scorer and other players step up each night as the #2 scorer.
Scoring 15 ppg means he's approaching 20 points more than occasionally and that's too much offense coming out of the PG spot for me on this team.
When Hurley says he "needs" Cole to be scoring that much for the team to get where it wants to be tells me others haven't stepped up their game enough to score consistently.
I'm okay with Cole but I really like him better as a 3rd or 4th option on a good team.

I like are team better if Cole is having big assist games.

But wait, the game's not played like that anymore. We are so screwed.

Weird comment. Harvard has been a solid team for as long as I can remember. Beating them by 16 in a scrimmage is awesome. Pretty sure UConn lost to them in a scrimmage 2 years ago.

They're going to be substantially worse this year. Ivy canceling season set back all their programs a bit.
