Interesting comments regarding in comming class.

Samson remains my biggest concern. Maybe he will get better and turn a corner, but he doesn’t look like he’s improved at all from last year to my eyes. Not trying to bash the guy, he’s good at times, but Reed has been much much better early on. We really need Reed to stay healthy and stay out of foul trouble because if Samson plays like he has been, Hurley is gonna have to limit him to 12-15 mins/game.

Samson played really well this game. He brings something different from Reed both offensively and defensively. Johnson's foul trouble has been an issue but he is putting up pretty nice defensive stats with 9 blocks and 4 steals in three games. He also has 7 assists. Those are nice numbers for a center. His problem is rebounding and fouls.

Compared to Reed, who has 3 assists, 2 blocks, and 3 steals in 11 more minutes. Of course Reed is much better on the boards and is scoring at a higher rate also.

Point being, I think they actually compliment each other quite well as long as Samson can keep the fouls down.

Man we have a pride of very good players.

Btw Who is Le Moyne? Really, SMH.

Why shake your head? Look at the remainder of their pre-conference schedule. They're going to get tested. Often.

Obviously it's not an apples-to-apples comparison given their roles and when they played, but Nowell looked so much more comfortable running the offense than Mahaney in their times on the court. I think he's just processing things better/faster. Would love to see him get some run during the competitive portion of the next game, see how he does.

Otherwise basically good performances across the board (as it should be in a 41-point win against an overmatched team). Ross and Ball obviously stand out as taking significant jumps from last year.

McNeeley might be the most offensively gifted freshman I've seen on a UConn team, at least from a scoring perspective. He's just so polished.

Since no one else is saying it, Reed is an absolute MONSTER. If he figures it out, who’s gonna stop him? I can’t believe we get him for another year.

I love when he gets his hands on the ball when going for a rebound. Nobody is getting it from him. That is a very comfortable feeling when our other center is the complete opposite. LOL!

I don't see the working hard. He has to know to play off a guy who is quicker than him and only drives. His defense has a been a sore spot and a big reason why he is riding the bench a lot. His shooting will come around but he can't play defense the way he has as everyone is getting by him easily.

This is not how Hurley instructs his guys to play. You play up and then help comes on the drive if it happens you get beat. Obviously you don't want to get beat, you try not to get beat, you get in trouble if you get beat, but you're not playing off most guards in Hurley's scheme.
