Never in doubt, great to have you back Rodney. It's your turn to lead us to greatness. Good luck.

Heck ya!

Liking this teams depth if Brimah comes back as expected.

With guns like that I can't believe he has such a hard time finishing.

Now this is a Great Surprise! Thought he was leaning on playing ball in Europe. Well this definitely solidifies our back court for next year. JA and RP the starting guards. Good complement to one another. One driver and one shooter. Now just have to solidify our front court with I guess AB staying and we should be a definite tourney team.

But the Gymnastics coach though

Inside being the keyword

Love this. If he can keep improving with his FT's and works on finishing at the rim, and JA can get a bit more confidence in his jumper...this will be a great backcourt. AG will only help.

Purvis and Brimah are the heart and soul of next years team.

I'm assuming the starting lineup will be...
JA
RP
TL
AB

with KO having some options for that last spot. Could be AG in a small lineup. Could be a guy like Facey or Enoch. Durham, if healthy, could be a factor too.

Excellent news

I have a feeling KO and staff are gonna work him hard on layup drills all summer. Seems to be what they did with free-throws last summer.

It's not strength, it's size. He has small hands.

What good are layup drills going to do? I guarantee you he hits every layup in practice; the question is contested layups and ones at game speed.

Great. Helps make next season

 

[Kembacity]

ahh so relieved and happy. I've been a huge Purvis fan since he stepped on the court. Love the passion and enjoyment he shows out on the court, hope we see a lot more great reaction shots next season

Glad Purvis is returning. He loves UConn.

He's one of the nicest kid's we've ever had, hope big things happen for him and us in his final season.

Awesome news.

If you had polled the Yard back in January, who would have predicted that Purvis would stay, but DHam would leave?

I got a lot of crap from a lot of people a few months ago for saying there was absolutely no way he leaves when everyone was so sure he wasn't coming back.

Great news. Temper the expectations, though. This team is young and still needs to add talent with our last 2 schollies. Very happy to have the ambassador back for what's hopefully a more fluent system for him playing off Adams/Gilbert.
