I like what I see from Vital. He is UCONN material and deserves to start next year. Kid is a baller and has the toughness and intangibles required to be great.

I disagree. He most certainly could maintain and I expect him to improve on his 3%. He has good technique and a quick release. If they get him open looks he'll knock down a good amount of them.Love Vital and his attitude. He brings a much needed NY toughness to our guards.
It's going to be nearly impossible for him to maintain his 3-pt shooting percentage from last year. I'm sure people here will still unfairly criticize what is natural regression. Even if he regresses a bit in that regard, he's got a bright future and will be a key perimeter cog on the team for years to come. Keep working CV!
I'm a big fan of Vital but I fear many on this board are setting unfair expectations for him. Nobody deserves to start, that's earned in practice.
I think his percents may go down because we will be asking more of him with Rodney gone.
Love everything about this kids attitude and game.
I think Vital will be the recipient of Alterique passes. Doesn't matter who starts because they will all get plenty of minutes and they need to stay healthy enough to play them.we're screwed if alterique isn't good enough to take starting guard spot over vital with ease
It's not good if he starts next year, as it would mean that either Gilbert or Adams isn't starting. All three starting is far too small of a 3 guard offense.
If Vital proves in practice and preseason that he can knock down shots consistently he may very well start. Obviously I have more faith in the leap CV takes this year than you do. I see it differently in that if Christian is starting he really upped his game.

On what planet does Jalen Adams not start? This is maximum Boneyard absurdity at its finest.
Well that was my point. If Vital is starting, it means Adams isn't. Ergo, if Vital starts, something has put us in deep excrement.
The only guaranteed starters are Jalen and Terry. There is no scenario where Jalen is not starting if fully healthy and ready to go. Despite your strong affirmation of Gilbert, he hasn't shown he can shoot from the perimeter, play well off the ball, and defend. Vital has and is 4 inches taller and a lot stronger. Gilbert has to be at Boatright level to start or else Vital will. A big reason we were so bad last year to start the season was the leadership conflict between Adams and Gilbert as point guard and who would be the lead guard. Our play against Wagner and Northeastern reflected that.
This is Jalen's team and he needs to be the one with the rock in his hands majority of the time.
