Updated MBB Roster

[RuffRuff]

Reed is a Senior and has never averaged 10 pts a game. Sanogo blew past that as a sophomore. People really have short memories. Sanogo had elite footwork and a great post game on day 1, before UConn coaches ever worked with him. He got even better sure, but Reed did not have anything like that offensively.

I don't think Reed is going to be as good a Junior Sanogo was. But that won't stop us from winning another Championship. Hoping he has a great season.

The thing about Tarris is that he’s also very skilled for his size. He’s not just a big brute. He’s got great feet, balance and soft hands/touch. For him to get there he just needs it all to click upstairs. This is where you hope the staff does its thing. Too many times when he got the ball in the post last year he just held no composure, was rushed. He didn’t really have a go to move. If he can make himself a nice big entry target consistently and then feel the defense, take a second to assess, he will be a weapon.

He doesn’t have to be Sonogo to have a great year - there are things Reed can do that Adama can’t: better rim protector, elevates faster, better passer. Adama maxed out his ability, Tarris has barely scratched surface.

Have to wonder if this means Dan Hurley sees no shot with Diane or the other big.

I don't think this impacts that at all, although I'm not currently super optimistic about either.
