Rothstein is in Storrs today

[Scrutineer]

Wait, you think Jalen Adams is the most athletically gifted guard UConn has ever had before this year?

Must not have been around for the 04 season......

What happens if Solo Ball is better than Castle?

Two different players. Castle is a bit more NBE ready. IMHO

 

[Rocktheworld]

If Samson puts up similar numbers as a backup 5 to what Clingan did last year you can mark as down for winning national championship #6.

7 pts 5.5 rebounds in 13 minutes

This will probably be UConn's tallest starting 5 in their history. Cant think of a longer team.

09 our starting line up was 6’7”, 6’9, 7’3”” up front. And the 6’7” player was Heff Adrien, perhaps our toughest player ever

So are you calling Newton6’5”? Castle 6’7”?.
Adrien was listed at 6’9” I believe

I'm going by their listed heights. Adrien was listed at 6'7. Newton is listed at 6'5, Castle is listed at 6'6.

6’5

6’5 without shoes. 6’6(1/2) with shoes.

7’2 wingspan though. Him and Dejaun Blair actually are the same exact size down to the wingspan. Blair just weighed about 40 pounds more.

Unrelated, but remarkable: AJ Price had the highest body fat percentage of anyone on this list. More than Harden and Blair. Whoodda Thunk!

Adrien not 6-9 but more like 6-6 but had a 7 foot + wingspan and was a ferocious rebounder. My son in law is a "Cuse" fan and hated him but also awed by him.

Jeff knew how to use the glass!

Most cringeworthy moment ever when Blair flipped Thabeet over his back.
