Karaban pre-season All American

[RuffRuff]

I am so, so curious how his season is going to go without Edey.

Same - I for one am not nearly as high on him post Edey. Edey was that team, and he changed the entire floor for sub athletes. I’d ask how much of Smith’s assists were Edey or as a result of open men Edey attracted defenders away from.

He needs to get a lot stronger. Big reason they lost in both 2023 and 2024 is because Braden got absolutely dog walked by more physical defenders

I’m obviously biased but I’m much higher on Karaban successfully stepping into the #1 option role than Braden because AK understands his system and is set up to thrive in it. Edey was Purdue’s system, and even though Braden can get buckets, it will be hard for him to succeed as a scorer at 6’0 unless he’s strong enough to not get bullied

I'm surprised Kalkbrenner is 3rd team. I thought he would have been 2nd or perhaps even 1st team.

Goes to show you what clowns the Big East coaches are, AK didn't even make Honorable Mention All Big East after last year and he starts the year as Pre Season All-American. SMH

At some point, probably sooner rather than later, BE coaches are going to wake up and start voting UConn team and players preseason #1 in everything.

It won't stop our team from raining murder on them in the games, but the less pre-season motivation they give us the better for them.

Prediction: will go down as top 2 Huskies in history. I don't know who the other one is though.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

He's looking to break the old age record of some of those PITT guys from the 00's.

Time to start measuring age in Krauser units?

Looking much further ahead, he is going to be a great mid-late 1st round pick for an established veteran team where he doesn't have to be an alpha and can excel in that super-glue-guy role.
