Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 2127327, member: 6158"] Hopefully we will get help in the front court before the season. That said, next year we will have Alterique at PG. Showed he can play well at this level before injury. Great speed and good D. Backup true PG in MAL, more speed and I hope like AG only maybe even a better scorer. Now Jalen, a true combo guard becomes even more formidable. Scorer, perpetrator, leadership but sharing the PG load. Add Vital with all he brings. Wow. Lot's of possibilities to wear down and wear out opponents. Disrupt the opponents offense like a nightmare. Larrier a big key. I liked very much what I saw while he was healthy. I expect him to return and play better with the depth we have in back court. Back to the front court. Focus on D critical. Especially a rebounding effort above all. Not going to have Brimah's rim protection but most teams don't. Also won't have all his liabilities which were many. I don't really expect a big year and will be pleased if we show very good improvement. Hopefully with the addition of Chillious, KO can focus on the team instead of having to do everything including recruiting. Above all what really needs to change are the intangibles: the attitude from top to bottom from players and coaches. As others have said: no quit ever, toughness, relentless maximum effort. Make Uconn a team to be dreaded that imposes its will. Reminds me of a SI story (I think) about Mariano Rivera. Can't think of the player who said it but he said something like "I start thinking about him (Rivera) before our plane even lands in NY." [/QUOTE]
