Message: [QUOTE="Husky68, post: 4191854, member: 173"] How many UConn players on the opening day roster of 2021 could get a roster padding postion at Alabama (not even sure what that is), or even a PWO role. The Washington kid (think that was his name) bounced around after unfortunate UConn incident and then in last year (after he wasn't going to come back but did due to injuries) of play for Utah was super duper. Could be lot of reasons it hasn't worked for this kid, pedigree does matter when viewing a player potential. A good coach can quickly determine if there is still something there. Why is BL et al (little law lingo) so negative on all things where people try and see the upside potential, regardless of how much is more hope than probability? Prove this, prove that, how do you know, why do you see glimmer of upside. This is just another of the many upside potentials for UConn in 2022, not all will work but some will. Mora is doing a super job to date and if his staff wants to keep a former Alabama recruit (and Miami player) for his last year, I am optimistic they see some good potential and the fact the kid was once a sought after recruit just helps with the "could this really be found gold" thoughts.
