It's Official: Adams, Smith, and Yakwe

Seems like a theme with our senior bigs. Get out of your own way.

I guess that's what I took away from this, too?

Senior bigs... all kind of do something along these lines?

Or - have a coach that's just endlessly searching for something they're not. I feel like he's a good player if you just ask him to do what he can actually do.

Well you make it seem like a bad thing, but a coach that plays to his players’ strength is a good coach. Mask your guys’ weaknesses and they can still make good money.

You can develop each player only so far. There are plenty of NBA regulars who have become key role players based off of only doing what they do well.

I imagine it’s tough telling a kid you love what their limits are. But if it can still make them millions, that pain will waste away over time.

I must say I am happy with the Hurley signing, and optimistic as always about next season and the incoming players. My mind was blown to see Vital declare, and Adams didn't!? I really appreciate Jaylen's commitment to and enthusiasm for the program-it really shows. I was disappointed to lose out on Matthews...his athleticism reminded me of Stanley Robinson, and we haven't had a player like that in years. I have a question for the boneyard...what does everyone think about the recruiting involving more and more transfers or graduate transfers? A month or so ago I was mentioning to a friend that I think they should play minor roles on a team, or compliment the team. It seems that they are becoming part of the formula for many teams, Uconn especially. Do we like this, or no? I feel that while they may bring maturity and experience, they may not have the stake in the program that a player who has been around for 3 or 4 years will have, or who had been courted out of high school.
