Yea, this is not the NBA. You see guys like Josh Hart playing the 4 in college. If he plays more like a 2 than a 4 on offense, that's great. The positioning matters more on D and I think Terry will hold his own against most matchups.

You play your best players. The hypothetical of Mamou Diarra starting and Tremont getting limited minutes is absurd.

TL started the first few games before the injury at PF, RP was the SF, and more than held his own. I hate how people think we are playing in the old NBA. LOL!

Yup. Freaking James Harden has been D'ing up the 4 during recent stretches. Basketball has changed, folks.

This is getting a little Diamond Stone-like here. UConn is Waters' fallback if other things fall through. He could also be swept up by a new P-5 offer if chips fall differently. UConn is the nice girl that he is dragging along if the hotter girls show no interest. There need to be some sanity in that the AAC schedule does nothing to excite recruits. Still a much less than 50% chance that Waters ends up at UConn.

If Duke, UK or KU wants him, he's gone. Good thing is that none appear to really want him. Who else is going to swoop in? He's been recruited for 3 years. He knows his options. There is still a strong appeal for him to come to UCONN and if he enrolls even though we were his 4th option, I could give 2 ships.

Seriously, our Diarra is a better fit at PF anyway.
 
I'm sorry but at the end of the day with injuries and everyting (Obviously we will probably play next year with 4 guys again), Tremont is starting. I love Vital but a competition for minutes with him and Waters should be Waters imo. Let Jalen and Waters run the ACC (or AAC whatever) with injury prone Gilbert as an added boost off the bench and occassional starter

He's had one injury. Is that injury prone?
 
I would be hesitant to have AG taking hits on that shoulder until a full year has gone by since surgery, which means he wouldn't be playing until Jan. We need AG in March not November. Landing Waters would give him more time to heal.
 
Ya gotta love the so-called Husky fans posting on this thread about why other schools are a better fit for Waters, and bashing the team and conference. Do you want him here or not? Please leave your UConn fan access cards with the receptionist on your way out.

Yup, too many idiots have access to this place. They need another hobby. Someone please give them matches and gasoline and let them go play in the park. It would be less damaging.

No we need him in November. We need him for the PK tourney. Because without nov there is no march

Why do you want the park burned down?

I really hope the staff isn't making this upcoming year a rebuilding year. We need to have the best roster we can since we are playing in the PK80 tournament. We need to hold our own in that tournament.
 
Who cares who starts. We'll have 3 great talents (Jalen, Alterique, Waters) and a very good guard who's coming on fast (Christian). In some circumstances you may need to give more minutes to the bigger guards (Jalen, Christian) and in others it will be fine having two smaller guards on the court. All four guards will get big minutes. We could easily see the starters change from game to game.

and if he blows out the shoulder in an October practice we won't see him at all. Don't rush the healing process.

did you ever play sports? this is literally the opposite attitude athlete's have. I blew out my shoulder half a dozen times. after surgery I was fine. The last injury was a fluke or a lousy surgeon. he'll be fine.
 
If we get Waters, there will be a hell of a competition for playing time at the 1-3 between he, Gilbert, Adams, and Vital.

Unfortunately, our players and recruits lately have a penchant for resenting having to compete for playing time.

In principle all 4 of them would get 25+ mpg, with some closer to 35. Hopefully that will be enough.

If we win they'll be happy

The CDC recommends a gradual 5-step return protocol, with 24 hours or more at each step, for athletes returning from a concussion. The return protocol can start after cessation of symptoms: Managing Return to Activities | HEADS UP | CDC Injury Center.

If symptoms such as headache and dizziness are gone within 1-2 days, then a 1-week return is supported by this protocol.

Thank you, pj

Excuse me? Did you not notice all of those football players backing out of bowl games for fear of injury? I assume AG has professional aspirations. Like I said don't rush the healing process.

Josh Jackson has 15 lbs on Larrier and isn't coming off a lower body-atrophying injury.

Seriously, I don't want to be that guy, but you all saw his legs in that team pic, right? Who is he boxing out? I love small ball as much as the next guy, honestly probably way more, but you play small ball because your team is versatile enough to guard 4s and 5s with smaller personnel adequately and take advantage of the mismatch on the other end. It has to start with defense.
