Yeah, guaranteed he'll at least attend the combine and get real world feedback about his draft stock. It would be dumb not to. Unfortunately that means we'll have to be waiting in limbo till he decides to either return to UConn for another year or stay in the draft. Hopefully we'll be basking in the glory of the 3-peat to tide us over till he (and other current Huskies) decide their futures.
Having to play without Liam, has helped this team in the long run. It allowed guys to step up that normally wouldn't. It also provided minutes for those that might not have gotten as much. Not saying it will result in another championship, but it the team will be battle tested and deeper because of it.
Liam returns this Friday to a blow-the-roof-off home crowd (even if on a minutes restriction). If we can take it to the Johnnies this Friday, the narrative will once again be "Who can stop UConn in the B.E.?" instead of "What TF is wrong with UConn??".
