Hurley's comments on each:
Adams: “Brendan is really talented combo guard who can score on all three levels,” Hurley said. “He will help us as a really good ball-screen player and a strong perimeter shooter. He is someone who will be a big part of both our short-term and long-term plans.”
Smith: “Tarin is someone I obviously have great familiarity with, since he played for my father and played in my conference for the last two years,” Hurley said. “He gives us a veteran guard with a wealth of experience and outstanding athleticism. His ability to create offensively and the impact he can have defensively is exciting.”
Yakwe: “Early in his career, Kassoum was one of the better young defenders in the Big East, and he brings that rim protection and athletic ability to our frontcourt,” Hurley said. “With the pressure-man style of defense I like to play, it’s essential to have frontcourt players who can protect the rim. That falls in line with Kassoum’s strengths, so I feel that he will have a chance to have a big impact on the program.”
Like that we gave them the same number. Will help to confuse the refs and opponents,
Scoring from the interior (around the hoop), midrange, and from the three point line.“Brendan is really talented combo guard who can score on all three levels,”
What does it mean to score on 3 levels?
I read that as the ability to score 1) at the basket 2) from midrange and 3) from 3“Brendan is really talented combo guard who can score on all three levels,”

I see Hurley has gotten to the uniform change yet. I hate to bring it up but in this picture Adams is facing us but you can still see most of his upper back muscles. SMH

Just change has to hasn’t and it reads fine.What? Please use English in your next complaint.
My take on Yakwe. Too lazy to retype this on my phone right now. Just needs to keep it simple, attack the rim on O, protect the rim on D.

No. It's also the number they gave Hurley at his introduction. It's just the "demo" jerseyPssssss that’s Vitals old jersey. Bad sign?
I like this "He will help us as a really good ball-screen player...". My God, a screen! Is that indicative of an actual offense? I love it!So much to like here. But the reference to "pressure man defense" is music to my ears. I think we are going to see a UConn team that plays more like a UConn team on the defensive end.
