I'm getting fired up reading this. And, I've not seen a Hurley motivational post.

It's been said plenty, but UConn is back. There's been plenty of recent years where talent has lined up and we can have an optimistic year, but this feels sustainable

 

[UConnKev]

Andre Jackson hopes to make similar, yet different, impact at UConn as James Bouknight did last year

An intriguing question heading into UConn’s season is whether Andre Jackson can have a...

Exactly, I mean I was always the optimistic one anyway. But I feel like now it's actually true and I'm now I'm one of the more pessimistic ones

When your most talented player, is also your most competitive, and also the team leader, it bodes well.

 

[auror]

Just reading these quotes, it seems like we have that UConn swagger back.

 

[BGesus4]

Yikes, imagine a 7'1" Montrezl Harrell... I think that's called Shaq

 

[LIuconn]

Basketball lifers and students of the game that eat & sleep the game calling the shots makes a huge difference. Culture is real and everyone's bought in

 

[HooperScooper]

But the Big East has not had a positive effect on UConn's recruiting.

At least that is what a few posters on here told me.

 

[Chief00]

While many here are justifiable impressed with Andre’s athleticism, the thing that sticks out with Chief is that he’s such a student of the game and its history. He respects the game and is willing to listen and learn. It is totally sincere and his questions are insightful. That’s so important, if someone truly wants to work at being a great player.

 

[Waquoit]

Jackson sounds like a serious player. Looks like his knee should be find.

Sorry Scooper. We still haven't recruited a class as well as Ollie's in the American. FACT.

 

[donyell34]

However you base that on rankings and so on thats in the past. On this current roster there's at least 3 guys we don't get if not for the big east and that's what matters now, you know current day.

Sorry Scooper. We still haven't recruited a class as well as Ollie's in the American. FACT.

FACT - Unfortunately, the classes he recruited as head coach did not achieve much success. How good a class ultimately is based on results on the court.

 

[UconnU]

We never had an answer for Harrell when he was at Louisville. Just couldn’t stop the guy.

 

[UconnU]

Sorry Scooper. We still haven't recruited a class as well as Ollie's in the American. FACT.

They were highly ranked kids but there were more holes. Family issues, injury issues, system mismatch problems, etc.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Love to hear this is Bouk's team.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Love the quotes about Bouknight as a leader. Your best player doesn’t HAVE to be your leader but it sure is nice when they are.
