The final installment of this year’s pod series with Karaban is now available. I’ll let it speak for itself… you won’t want to miss it!
And it was only 1/2 a red shirt at that.Redshirt or not, Alex is the most unfreshman freshman I have ever encountered. UConn fans were spoiled this year with Donovan and Alex and what they were able to contribute. They handled everything- the on the court stuff, the increased media attention, the fan adoration, EVERYTHING in a very impressive manner.
Karaban being heady and mature enough to handle playing 30+ mpg as a freshman at a level where he was a clear positive was one of the biggest keys to our season.And it was only 1/2 a red shirt at that.
It was very important. But he is a special kid, as is Donovan. We really need to count our blessings this year, everyone and everything broke the right way, including our portal kids. The assembly of the team just was a home run by the staff.
Hurley said on PMT podcast that he drinks Bai during games@gwhuskyfan, may have missed it but did you ever get an answer as to what was in Dan Hurley's bottles during game?
These podcasts have been a must-listen in my house all season long. Happened to run into Karaban in the lobby of the team hotel in Houston, got a picture and he lit up when I told him I was a big fan of the podcast.
Your usual nice job Jared.
Something struck me as really funny and enlightening. When you asked Alex about getting some time off, Alex quickly responded he definitely needed time off. So now, based on his reflection, I'm thinking he is going to say 4-6 weeks of R&R.
Nope! He immediately followed with he'll take one more day and then get back to light shooting.
We were lucky to have him. He is about basketball and I have no doubt he is going to work on all the things he said he needed to do.
