Actually, I bet Dan Hurley starts Carlton but Whaley gets most of the minutes...

So much of the optimism is based on a nice 8 game stretch at the end of the season in a 2nd rate conference. We have lost our leading scorer and 2 best defensive players as well as our leader. CV and AG will be missed. Also 2 key players coming back from serious injuries. We also are weak at the 5. I prefer to take a wait and see attitude.

I like that too, but I also wouldn't mind being a powerhouse again.

Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley
So an acquaintance was talking about the BY and said he only posted once because people were so mean to him. I asked him what he said and told me and we both laughed and agreed it deserved a beat down. Later looked online and saw that I was one people who uh pointed out to him that he was...

Well yeah, that's the glass-half-empty outlook. The counter to that would be that Bouknight has all-american potential, RJ Cole and Andre Jackson are two very talented pieces coming in, Whaley looked great at the end of the year (I don't think we're weak at the 5 unless you think his stretch at the end of the year was a fluke), another year of development from Gaffney/Adams, and those two players that are coming back from serious injuries weren't even on the floor for our best stretch of the season, so getting them back should be gravy.
The real truth probably lies somewhere between my optimistic outlook and your pessimistic one.

We didn't have the real Bouk or Whaley when we played both Xavier and Nova and let us remind everyone Nova was 11-23 from 3. Obviously the league from top to bottom will be much tougher but it seemed that Dan Hurley's kids rose to the top when required to.

I'd be shocked if Carlton is starting next year. If he is it means he's taken a step in the right direction. The only reason I believe Hurley continued to start Carlton down the stretch when Whaley's stock was soaring and the combination of Whaley/Carlton at the 4/5 objectively wasn't working, was to avoid crushing Carlton's confidence entirely - the little that was likely remaining.

must live near you. Saw him in the park on my run a few times the last couple of weeks. Heard him talking on the phone about international students or something

The fact that Andy Katz needs to buy used couches tells us everything we need to know about the quality of this journalism.

His house is massive and it was a West Elm couch, so wasn't cheap.

The top 25 players in college basketball: A ranking for 2020-21
In an ordinary time, the ranking of next season's top 25 players would be posted while confetti is still raining down on the winning team in the national championship game. This is no ordinary time, but we can still look ahead with hope.
No Bouknight in a ranking of the top 25 players for 2020-2021. I'm actually surprised. I bet he'll be better than some of the players on this list, like Caleb Mills.
On the bright side, I know The Boneyard is convinced Bouknight is a 2021 lottery pick, but I think there is a better chance of him being here for his junior year than we think.
Of course, if Bouknight does play his way into being a first round pick in 2021, it probably means he was awesome and we had a great season, so I'll take that.

This. If Bouk is a lottery pick as a sophomore then we have a chance to make a nice NCAA run. If he's here for his junior year we have a solid shot at having our first elite wire to wire UConn team since 2009. Win/win.

I was very impressed with Caleb Mills. It made me wish we could find some impact freshmen seemingly out of nowhere. I think Bouknight’s ceiling is higher and that he’ll outplay Mills going forward, though.

Wasn’t he a redshirt frosh? Nice player nonetheless can score in so many ways.

Caleb Mills is special. He’s one of those guys who just has a natural scoring ability. The game comes to him.
That being said, I can probably name 10 guys on this list I think Bouk will be better than...Jay Huff, Keyontae Johnson, Collin Gillespie, Oscar da Silva, Remy Martin, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Garrison Brooks, Jalen Harris, Carlik Jones. Ok so 9. I think Bouk has 3rd team All-American upside this year.
Much rather have Bouknight than Caleb Mills next year. Along his higher ceiling and athleticism, Bouknight was much more efficient than Mills.
Bouknight shot .488 from two while Mills shot .397. Bouknight's offensive rating was 109.3 while Mills was 103.6. Between the two, I think Bouknight is in much better shape to make the jump to an elite offfensive player with increased usage.
