Greetings from Gampel Pavillion. Here for UConn practice. The Huskies should be one of the nation's best back courts.

 

[OkaForPrez]

A lot of Allen Iverson in Ryan Boatright

 

[OklahomaUconn]

God the pic looks so drab ...need some powerwashing and landscape work maybe a rocky 4 type statue of calhoun

 

[HuskyBballFan]

So much Lebron James in Leon Tolksdorf.

Take EVERYTHING he says with a grain of salt...

Why?

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Yeah Gampel definitely needs some oomph/love. After we get the practice facility done, we should definitely make some efforts to sexy it up a bit.

I don't know what those efforts should entail, but we ought to do something.

 

[UConn990411]

Why?

Because he made that moderately negative comment about UConn six years back, which means he's undoubtedly a UConn hater.

@JonRothstein
NO team in America has the depth UConn has in the back court. Huskies are loaded on the perimeter. A surplus of options.

@JonRothstein: So much Sam Cassell in Shabazz Napier....

@JonRothstein: Niels Giffey is the forgotten man on UConn. Experienced, tough + can shot. Will back up DeAndre Daniels at the 4. 6-7.

It's the opposite actually. He has a tendency to make it seem like every team in America is going to win 25 games.

Let's start putting "Stars" on Jim Calhoun way for the huskies of honor. Be nice for recruits to walk across those names on their way into the building. Gets guys back on campus.

Rothstein doesn't make negative comments about anyone, which is part of the problem. He's on the complete other end of the spectrum compared to someone like Goodman. Every player is good, every team is good, every coach is good, he doesn't really look at CBB with a critical eye towards anything or anyone.

@JonRothstein: Early prediction on UConn starting five --- Ryan Boatright, Shabazz Napier, Omar Calhoun, DeAndre Daniels, Tyler Olander....

Don't you mean Troy Murphy?

 

[Ts5034]

The last time "major" work was done was probably 4-5 yrs ago when they put in the new video/scoreboards on each end. Those were changes that we needed. Thinking about it now, what could possibly be done to renovate the inside besides the attention that the roof needs?

 

[3uconn]

@JonRothstein: Could see Terrence Samuel being used in a defensive specialist type role for UConn in reserve. Really guards. Poor man's Royal Ivey.

@JonRothstein: UConn will go with a three-headed monster at the 5. Tyler Olander, Phil Nolan, and Amida Brimah. Trio needs to combine for 10 and 10.

 

[NotADimeBack]

Nolan is already better than Olander imo... he should start...

 

[UConnPuneet]

That's at least the 40th time he's said Cassell/Napier

 

[UConn17]

If Samuel is as good a defender as advertised, it certainly will make smaller Napier and Boatright much better

 

[OkaForPrez]

There are now several different people highlighting T-Sam's defensive ability. That's great to hear because its an indicator of his tick tock IMO.

 

[3uconn]

@JonRothstein: UConn won 20 games last year with R.J. Evans as a reserve guard. Lasan Kromah will replace him. BIG offensive upgrade.

@JonRothstein: Could see using Domenichino ceiling tiles to shore up the appearance of the interior structure. Poor man's Enzo Patoni.

LOL. Nice one.

Would take UConn's back court over any other in America just based on sheer numbers. Huskies have more options. Louisville, OK St in mix 2.

@JonRothstein: so much Erin Andrews in UConn Dance Team. Poor man's Knick's City Dancers.
