Juwan Durham update??

This kid could be anyone from Donyell Marshall to Michael Bradley, we just have no idea.

To be honest, whether he redshirts or not, I wouldn't expect too much from him this year. As someone said above, the combination of rust and adjustment to the college game is going to be a lot to overcome.

ESPN only ranks 7 incoming freshman PFs as highly as Durham, even with the injury. I think we're looking at a ceiling that's a little higher than Michael Bradley.

Ah Stairmaster, this old man has been waiting for the young whippersnapper to make a mistake. I've been tracking you old school style stalking.

You said ceiling for Bradley. But Bradley is considered the low point in this example so this would be floor.

I've been waiting for this for 3 years! Old men are patient. Waiting to strike.

Don't leave your girl around me true playa!

Bradley? Is this because of the rust or the knee I hope because that kid in those films, at least being healthy, has zero shot of being Bradley.
 
Juwan has so much potential. I wish he had the least year and a half to grow as a player and get stronger, but he is already so skilled. Could be a big time comeback story when he is healthy. Where was he ranked before he got hurt? I heard he was almost consensus top 20 and a 5*.

I had hoped you would realize that it's unfair to hold a whippersnapper to a 100% standard of accuracy after midnight on a Friday night...:cool:

Juwan Durham’s rehab going well, but could still red shirt at UConn

Informative new article on Juwan. Talks about him not rushing back and the possibility of red-shirting.

This is more reason why I think KO has a backup plan if AB leaves. We would only have one guy who can play the center position on the roster. I mean Kelis Fisher can play there as needed but isn't a long term solution next year there. It will be interesting next month or so to see what happens with our Center position.

Kelis Fisher at center for more the 40% of a game = a loss unless we are playing western Tennessee culinary Institute

Correlation ≠ causation, and the sample size is pretty small, but wasn't our best non-conference win (Texas) with Facey at center?

Someone in stats 110v

Facey was a monster in that Texas game with 7 points... moster..

You're moving the goalposts, never said he was the reason for the win but it kinda blows a hole in the argument that putting Facey at center automatically causes the team to lose.

Next to Dham, Facey was the best rebounder on the team last year.[/QUOTE
that is a bad thing. Look at what he averaged a game. I think 3 points or 2.

A chair would out rebound him? He averaged more rebounds per 40 than Hamilton last season.

It would only take him two or three games to earn 40 minutes. I think yale had more rebounds then us last year. Did we Crack the top 25 teams in rebounding? No ...

We need muscle whether AB leaves or not. I hope that Enoch can be significant down low but it's one of the well documented weak areas we had to address along with point guard (Gilbert). I'm on edge as I guess everyone else is.

How the heck do you make a not equal sign? Never mind. I've figured out a way.

I'd have to dispute the "correlation does not equal causation" statement. Correlation may or may not be equal to causation. It should always be considered indeterminate at least from a scientific point of view.

As an aside I've argued your point of view and stated that just because the lights come on when I turn on the switch doesn't mean the supposed knowledge of electrical generation with all the apparatus between it and my light switch is the reason for the light coming on. There may be some other reason for the event happening such as we can just be living in that one universe in which light switches magically create light or the light was coincidently about to come on at that specific moment anyways and all the rest is a Rube Goldberg set up to throw us off track. But I will concede that correlation of light in this example is extremely likely to be from the causation of generators and less likely from magic or coincidence.
 
Well Facey can't play the four with Brimah at the five. The other teams big would never have to leave the paint.

Who do You want at backup 5 Enoch? He showed flashes but not a ton. Could definitely develop and pass up Facey this off season tho.

Enoch will definitely adequate to backup the 5. AB will start and SE will backup him up and give offense at least. Worst case scenario is we might have to see Kelis Fisher play some center if both get into foul trouble or we play a very small team.
