Message: [QUOTE="rip7774, post: 3547311, member: 320"] I'm from Pa. Man Corey Evans sounds like someone from Western Pa, wow! I live in Fla. now. Really like him a lot, he's always been gracious with fans re UConn questions it seems. Two points: 1) Re: Javonte and Sanogo...think of it as Jeff Adrien and Hilton. Hilton wasn't ready day one, even though he was pressed into service as a freshman. He was a bench player his sophomore year and boom as a senior I would argue he was more impressive than many of the higher-regarded seniors who were looking to the NBA. He had upside/athleticism that just takes time to catch up to itself. It sounds like Javonte is 6'11 and athletic and not a stick, so that's already rare. So his upside is enormous when he learns the college game, applies a consistent motor to his effort and gets with Sal in the weight room. The sky is the limit. Sanogo is like Jeff Adrien in that he was ready to go day one and could muscle his way in the paint and finish. Jeff is one of my favorite Huskies because we've had so few like him as JC preferred the long lean upside 3/4 often. Plus, he showed out in that George Mason game when most of the squad was tight. He was a warrior. Sanogo appears to be a warrior. Ultimately, does the NBA want a Jeff Adrien or a Sr. Year Hilton? Pretty easy question. As Husky fans, we want both! 2) He mentioned if Duke and Kentucky go down and get the next level kid it will take a kid from UConn & Louisville types. To be mentioned with them again shows how far we've rebounded from the days of taking mix tape guys under KO!!! It's such an exciting time to be a Husky fan again. [/QUOTE]
