great read, despite the ban I'm still looking forward to the season, all about building for 13-14

It was a great read.

Is he only 6-3? I thought he was 6-4 to 6-5...

Omar is a workaholic, but he also believes in himself," Ollie says after the workout. "That's what I think all great players have."

 

[Adios]

The ban will probably act as a chip on the shoulder for this team. This season should still be a fun one.

A breath of fresh air considering the pollution some had left these guys with. No matter how this season works out, this will be much more fun to watch without a doubt as a UConn basketball fan. A group of kids working hard for minutes they will earn on top of the fact they want to wear the uni? Good stuff..............

He can definitely play. I may be extremely optimistic but I hope we're looking at Kemba junior.

Seeing as Kemba Walker's junior season was greatest individual season in Uconn history...yeah I'd say that is pretty optimisitc.

I'm not as optimistic as you so I will "settle" for a Ben Gordon Jr.

 

[Scot-e]

Love it. Thanks for the read during this sloooooooow period for news.

I like that. Ben Gordon Lite. A smallish 2 guard. He's taller and a better shooter than Kemba, Kemba's quicker and a better ball handler (duh, shooting guard vs. point guard). But from everything I've seen and read, BG sounds like a decent comparison.

Great read!! I'm printing this out and carrying it around until I can get it signed by Ollie, Walker and Calhoun!

Will be interesting to see if he can break int the guard rotation

I don't think its even a question that he breaks the rotation that only goes 4 deep (including Omar). I think the question is how early does he break into the starting lineup?

 

[husky99]

He will be a big part of the four guard lineup...will be fast..old school run and gun
