One thing is not a question, Hamilton can score points.

Scoring is important and will need to replace scoring from Bazz/DD. I just hope the team can continue to play great defense as that's why they were able to go on that tournament run.

That's to be seen, yet.... Is it better to go out 3rd year undrafted and think what could have been the following year? And not get a degree....

Depends on whether or not you plan on using that degree, and depends on how much money you can make playing overseas. Boatright may never be an NBA player. If not, I'm not sure passing up a year playing overseas for another year playing at UConn was the best move.

Either way, coming back to UConn to lead the team and earn a degree (for free) isn't a bad option.

And maybe just as importantly, we won't get beat off the dribble a lot (at the PG position anyway).. that's a huge part of why we shut down Mich St, Florida, and UK so effectively. Their primary ballhandlers just couldn't get into the paint consistently and we didn't even have to use our bigs to help most of the time. That's how you hold explosive teams in the 50s

Love my small guards! :D

Seriously, if Boat brings his tournament level defense most nights, he's going to be an absolute nightmare. Do guards win DPOY?
 
So now we need to get big… we have 4 bigs (one unproven, one a rookie, one going into surgery and one that can't finish at the rim. I love these guys but we need some growth over the summer for the three not injured.

This is great news and makes sense. RB has a huge opportunity to improve his draft stock. We are going to be scary deep at both guard spots.
 
Great for the team to have him back and hungry to prove everyone wrong about if he can play in the next level……a full year of that tourney defense as well as an improved leader at the point is a pretty damn good thing…..
 
Great news.

If Boat becomes a more consistent three point shooter this team will be dangerous and Boat will play himself into the draft.

Chief saying he was going made me think he would come back. He's usually wrong about things.
 
Niceee. Now its his turn to truly lead. Nobody has more testiculos than the Boatshow; a fan favorite

#UConn: DeAndre Daniels opts for the NBA Draft, but guard Ryan Boatright will return to the Huskies for his senior season.

I'm looking forward to one more year of The Boat Show and watching other teams crumble in it's wake!!!

Congratulations on his decision! Looking forward to his senior season

A scout had the following to say about Boatright to the New Haven Register's David Borges earlier this year:

"He should stay in and have the capability of having a great year next year. He could be one of the dominant players in that league and would eliminate any questions."
 
If he wants to make the NBA, he's made the right choice. Boatright and UConn fans both win on this one.

Happy to hear this - it's Boat's team to lead next year. Should be great to see the other players develop around him.
 
Yes, this is definitely what I was expecting, if I had my choice of DD or Boat staying I definelty would have chosen Boat. DD is a laid back quiet leader and thats fine, but our young guys will need a fiery emotional leader which Boat obviously is. Hamilton will pretty much be DD next year, I expect Boat to elevate everyones play get into guys faces when he has to.
 
Without Giffey, and Bazz, DD to some extent we will be missing rebounds. Where do they come from?
