Per your point- If he had stayed another year. Another NCJust referencing JC's words on KEA.. He was never the scorer.. Always the facilitator. Ricky was off the charts in other ways. Rip was Rip..

I'm with you dude. Always felt it was a missed opportunity. Woulda/Coulda/ShouldaHonestly, if he doesn’t roll an ankle against Utah State, that tournament had cracked wide open for UConn.
With Khalid, we beat Tennessee easily. After that, it’s 8-seed UNC in the sweet 16 and 7-seed Tulsa in the elite eight.
It's exactly the sort of thing that never broke for us from 1990-2003 that began to from 2004-2023.Honestly, if he doesn’t roll an ankle against Utah State, that tournament had cracked wide open for UConn.

It's sort of the same with Doron. He came in and was awesome, but we also had a junior Kevin Ollie. Just as KEA was a better offensive player than Ricky, but the duo complemented each other well, so Doron to KO.Well, no, not really.
He came in and was our second scoring option behind Rip and the secondary ball handler next to Ricky. Khalid was great, but he stepped into an amazing situation.
Biggest what-if with Khalid…what if he had stuck around for one more year and got to pair with Caron for a season?
07-09 we had decently bad injury luck. AJ tore his ACL in that first round game against USD in 2008 (we were a 4 seed, JC's first first round exit if I recall correctly).It's exactly the sort of thing that never broke for us from 1990-2003 that began to from 2004-2023.
You are going to have to grow a few more arms liam
Bro-Apparently Reed's Mom is into the Sax.Grover Washington Jr or Najee or Danny Hurley?I love when recruiting sites offer such inside nuggets like, his mom will be a factor in his recruitment. Man…where do I subscribe?
Fair. I meant more breaks in the bracket that we could take advantage of.07-09 we had decently bad injury luck. AJ tore his ACL in that first round game against USD in 2008 (we were a 4 seed, JC's first first round exit if I recall correctly).
And then Dyson and his meniscus the following year. We still made the final 4 but we would have beaten MSU and given UNC a game had Dyson been healthy.
The ball pressure they will create on defense will be amazing. The turnovers they’ll create , then with Stewart and Johnson running down the court will be fun times.Nowell and Diarra on floor together, double point. Similar to the double big, but better.
His mother played D1 basketball. At Rice. And she's a single mom. So that's a couple reasons why she's probably heavily involved.I love when recruiting sites offer such inside nuggets like, his mom will be a factor in his recruitment. Man…where do I subscribe?
He was also a combo guard and not a point. KO was the pure point at that point.I was going to mention Doron but that was such a unique situation. He was 22 years old when he came to UConn and had already played professionally for years.
Thoought she had a lot of good things to say about UConn, haven't thought about them for a while...His mother played D1 basketball. At Rice. And she's a single mom. So that's a couple reasons why she's probably heavily involved.
Just keep her away from Mrs. Flagg.
There’s a couple of what-ifs throughout the 2000s as far as connecting the PG tree.Biggest what-if with Khalid…what if he had stuck around for one more year and got to pair with Caron for a season?
I don't think he'll even take the Bama visit.Getting him in before Bama is big.
Tate George, but that was almost out of desperation. I think that is the year Cliff Robinson and Phil Gamble were declared ineligible for the 2nd semester. Absolute low point in Connecticut basketball.Taliek Brown started every game his freshman year. Out of necessity. But to your point, he wasn't that good and got better through his 4 years.
Can't remember if there were any other freshmen who started right of the gate like Taliek and Khalid.
