Meet UConn's Newcomers: Tyler Polley

[Huskyforlife]

If we play a classic lineup, he'll get minutes by default. Combo forwards are valuable if they don't have any extreme deficiencies, let's hope he can guard 4s.

Yeah I know you don't expect to see much defense in a highlight video, but he does look a little too slow and careful to be a great defender early on. Hopefully that thirst to wear the UConn jersey motivates him to put it all in at practice and grow into a great defender. If he's been a fan of UConn, chances are he likes to watch a defense shut down a talented team and shock the world.

Is it November yet!? I need some basketball!!!!

Watching those two tapes daniels is a great comparisons. Such similar bodies and games. Obviously u hope tyler is a late bloomer that's why he's under ranked. This is the guy I feel like we r sleeping on I really like him.

Tyler strikes me as being focused and modest. Team oriented. I think he has a solid all around game and will be on the court this year contributing. He's mostly stuck playing behind Larrier although we could see them both on the floor. More importantly though he's got a high ceiling for how good he might be in the following years with greater strength and development. He's got all the tools to be an excellent player.
