Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 5100770, member: 10"] [B][I]Solo Ball, Jaylin Stewart and Jayden Ross, sophomores:[/I][/B] [I]“We bet heavy on them. I think more in line with what most college programs are doing right now is like, sacrifice younger player development and culture and just go portal, portal, portal, get old, old, old. I think a lot of people in our situation having a three-peat at stake might have just sacrificed those guys and said, ‘Let’s go get old guys…’ The sophomore class is critical for us, so we believe in them. “[URL='https://uconnhuskies.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/solo-ball/14195']Solo[/URL], I thought he looked great the other night (18 points in exhibition) and then you could see the flashes from [URL='https://uconnhuskies.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/jaylin-stewart/14201']Jaylin Stewart[/URL], [URL='https://uconnhuskies.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/jayden-ross/14199']Jayden Ross[/URL] – those guys will keep getting better the whole year, too. What you saw Jordan Hawkins do in March of his sophomore year was very different than what you saw in November and December with Jordan, and parts of January. Those guys will keep getting better the entire year and then by the time we get to like that money time in March and April, those guys will be playing like juniors and I think it’s gonna be a great thing.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
