I will take these 3 things and let the chips fall where they may:
1) running actual offensive sets
2) an attacking swarm of defensive effort
3) no dumb illegal screens where you block better than the entire NY giants offensive line
Goodness, I am so pumped for this season to start, I think even more so than the season before the Huskies last championship.
I know there will be some ups and downs, some bumps, but overall this team is going to surprise some people I really think. (not the people in the know, ie BY but pundits who generally just seem too clueless or honed in on the UKs, Dukes and UNCs of the world).
snap name?Didn’t know where to put this and didn’t think it deserved it’s own thread but Richie Springs is on Bouknight’s Snapchat story wearing all UConn gear (shirt and shorts) and Bouknight put the caption “2020 commit ♂️.” And also today Gaffney tagged Kofi Akok and Precious in an Instagram story about them coming to UConn. This probably all means very little but at least it shows that Bouknight and Gaffney seem to be recruiting their buddies.
True that Hurley won't be "judged" on this season with someone else's players, however with JA, a healthy AG, Sid and the rest no reason not be in the mix in AAC this year. You want recruits to be excited about UConn come March so I think Hurley realizes this isn't a "throwaway" year.Simply looking for a team that is prepared to compete ... wins and losses do not matter. This is technically a throwaway year so any marked improvement is gravy. Not worried about the coach one iota.
As a side note, would love to see Adams finish out strong and get the recognition he deserves nationally.
To me, it’s insane that there are people who think this team is going to be middle of the pack in the AAC,no tournament team.

That's pure flatulence. I'm sticking to 25 wins.While there are lots of reasons for enthusiasm, the team was terrible the last 2 years so expect to expect greatness would be a bit of a leap. 20 winds and a great style of play would be a huge step forward.
I don’t know about you but I threw away the last twoNo such thing as a throwaway year. This is a very important year.

Springs was also all over Bouknight's commitment posts with love. Would not be surprised at all if he wants to come here. I for one am all in on building as many NEPSAC pipelines as posssible.Didn’t know where to put this and didn’t think it deserved it’s own thread but Richie Springs is on Bouknight’s Snapchat story wearing all UConn gear (shirt and shorts) and Bouknight put the caption “2020 commit ♂️.” And also today Gaffney tagged Kofi Akok and Precious in an Instagram story about them coming to UConn.
