Message: [QUOTE="Lafayette, post: 5314588, member: 14008"] Imma gonna wait until we see them both in a few preseason and 2-3 Big East games. They are going from U19 where they were the best on their respective teams (Furphy and Reibe) and coming to UConn, two realities hit: one: your teammates are better all around (neither had a Demary Jr at point or Solo as a shooting guard, etc) and two: you are not even as good as the starter for your position. But with UConn conditioning and practices they will find their way and they should both carve out some playing time since Reibe is literally the only other 'big' if Tarris has foul, rest, or injury issues and Furphy is a scorer and scorers get minutes. One thing with Hurley is he gets enamored with guys who play well against us: Mahaney, Koroma, and I have to think he saw both Reibe and Furphy play USA's U19 team in the same way considering we will see some of them it's nice to know Furphy can guard Dybantsa, etc. [/QUOTE]
