I think Dwayne Karoma will be in the rotation this year. Tom Moore while scouting/recruiting to fill out this year's roster stated that some of the players they were looking at were rising players at lesser D1 schools that the UConn staff thought could impact this year's team. Karoma who is an athletic and skilled 6'8 last year averaged 11.5pts, 7.2 rebs, and 2 assists. He was 2nd in the nation in effective FG% at 71.8% mostly for his work in the paint, but he can shoot the 3. He is a 4 year veteran of D1 college ball and has gotten better each year. At 17 he was playing in the Munich German League, and now Karoma is a veteran player who is 24 years old. He very well may be our 2nd best player scoring in the paint as well as rebounding. I see him as a backup for Karaban, playing a small double big with Reibe on the floor, and just a very effective frontcourt player and defender that Hurley can have in the mix with any number of players. He will undoubtably be used when there is foul trouble with Reed and Reibe, unless staff picks up another player at the 5.
