Ten Steps To Next Year

[Lefty2one]

It's amusing how out of touch some people are re: players leaving early. It's not 1995.

We know Larrier is gone.

I'll be very surprised if Adams returns. So many marginal point guards develop in the NBA or G-League these days. Adams has the tools and physical gifts, moreso than D-Ham. I can see him developing into a solid guard off the bench. He's also going to look a lot better in a space-the-floor environment surrounded by shooters.

If not, it's off to Europe making six figures a year. Not exactly a bad gig.

Jalen and Terry are gone after this year.

Doubting that more and more. What do the latest mock drafts show?

They don't care what the mock drafts or scouts are saying. That's not the conventional wisdom anymore.

1. First, get real. Acknowledge that KO is our once and future coach.
2. Acknowledge that KO is not a teaching coach; he is an enabling coach.
3. Therefore, encourage kids who aren't ready to contribute to look elsewhere.
Come spring, execute an old-fashioned, Calhoun-style spring purge -- the sort of relo
that sent Jamaal Trice and Darius Smith to more suitable venues. Yes, this could
mean a one-time hit on our APR. Absorb it. Move on.
4. Get real with Alterique. Tell him it's not about hobbling through this lost season. It's about
next year's championship. Get the shoulder fixed.
5. Get real with Jalen and Terry. Tell them they aren't remotely pro-ready. Tell them they need
to work their arses off this year and come back next year -- and win us a championship.
6. Hire Neils Giffey to put every wing man through the same 3-point drill that transformed him
into Herr Daggerschutze in the summer of 2013.
7. Excuse Mamadou from the drill until he makes 50 consecutive free throws.
8. Explain to Josh Carlton that his job is to screen, pick-and-roll, rebound and outlet, and if he can't
do it, Mr. Kisunas would love the opportunity. Refer him to Step #3.
9. Use a freed scholarship to get the meanest JUCO alpha-dog in the junkyard.
10. Use 2017-18 for one purpose -- to develop possibility for next season -- to make 2018-19
another annus mirabilis in UConn basketball history.

The last purge went oh so well..... there are not better players out there that are wanting to come here currently.

So if our head coach is not a teaching coach.....

Lots of flaws here. This post actually makes me happier KO is at the helm.

Yeah, ironic. They just did that last year. And now they have to do it again a year later ? The problem is not with the recruits.

Where is Jalen going?

Where was Daniel Hamilton going ?
