Meet the new college basketball powers that can dominate March

North Carolina is in danger of missing the postseason. Kentucky is looking up at LSU and Auburn in the SEC. Defending national champion Virginia is on the bubble. Traditional Big Ten power Michigan…

Down: UConn
I’m not sensing the same dread from Big East coaches about UConn returning as I did when the news was first announced. The Huskies would be the worst team in the league this year. They own one win of consequence, over Florida, and are 2-6 in the mediocre AAC. At 11-10 overall, the NIT seems like a longshot barring a big finish. UConn does have some nice pieces for the future — freshmen James Bouknight and Akok Akok look like players — and coach Dan Hurley is recruiting well as expected. But this is a bigger rebuilding job than anticipated. Patience will be needed in Storrs, especially once Hurley’s program joins a far better league next season.

Next year will be brutal.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Next year will be brutal.

Well, at least we're used to it.

 

[jibsey]

Next year will be brutal.

I hope Hurley gets more talent or you will be right. He needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat.

 

[mussels]

Well, at least we're used to it.

and the boneyard has been patient, understanding and celebrating players who have been doing their best

Patience is a virtue. Worked well with Calhoun. Hurley comes from a passionate blood line... we’ll get there in 2 years.

RJ Cole, Richie Springs, Andre Jackson are good additions. We need a starting 5 in the worst way.

 

[Waterbury]

If our stock is down then I am buying low right now on a starting 5 of: Cole, Bouk, Polley, Akok, and .... (insert serviceable center here)

All of thes

saying they "look like players" means you haven't watched them play more than once.

We have a long long way to go to return to the national conversation. Every single guy we have so far is a project of some kind or other. Cole and Springs are clearly All Americans at least until the play an actual game. Bouknight does some highlight reel stuff but lots of the stuff that actually matters, hitting jumpers, making open 3s hitting the open guy, he didn’t do so well. Same with Akok. He is a shot blocker. But he can’t handle bigs inside. Not much of a scorer. He is a lot closer to Brimah than to Okafor in terms of development.

We desperately need a stud somewhere in the lineup.

I hope Hurley gets more talent or you will be right. He needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat.

Save this. We'll do far better in the ZBE.

Well next year we will be a different team. So if we do better it doesn't really mean anything in comparison to this year's team. The article is saying this year's team would be last in the Big East, which is likely true. Next years team will have Cole at PG, and every player will have a year to develop. We'll also be adding Javonte Brown Ferguson and Jackson. So saying "save this article so we can laugh at it later when we have more success in the Big East" doesn't really apply. It's comparing apples and oranges.

Cmon we lost a bunch of winnable games this year with upperclassman paying like crap. Not to mention we took Xavier to double OT and took Nova to the final minute. Just looking at our record and saying yea they suck is no indication of how we will be next year. We will much better. Horrible assumption.

Look at the source of the article ..... How credible could it possibly be? Totally agree with you, horrible assumption.
