The only people who think we have one of the "best backcourts in the country" are on this forum.

With Adams and a healthy AG - you don't think it's ONE OF THE best backcourts in the country?

It depends on your definition of "one of the best." Are we talking top 5? Top 10? Top 20?

There are a lot of basketball teams out there.

I think if rique is healthy which I think he will be then its top 10 easily

There's Rookie of the Year and Dope of the Year, guess which one you ran way with?

There's of the year and dope that would get his ass kicked mercilessly but he's hiding where the latter would be difficult. So all yours!

Mau, don't engage them.

I think it's probably a top 10-15ish backcourt, too. but we really don't know yet.

...to make claims of "one of the best" is just foolish.

Aaaaand this is why the Boneyard makes me lose my mind. Someone just called himself foolish.

For the record, a healthy Alterique and Jalen combo is top 10 in the nation to me too, which I guess also makes me foolish...

no, try to follow along. We don't know anything yet. To make claims that we "are" one of the best in the country is just silly.

I guarantee we're not one of the best game 1. Hopefully by conference play we are, though.

Oh believe me, I've done plenty of following along. And I'm not trying to single you out. But I'm beyond tired of the knee jerk negativity on this board. If I didn't already know this was a UCONN fan site, I'd have a tough time telling the difference. All the way up to and including your guarantee that we won't be one of the best backcourts on game 1, as if that's something that you could guarantee or would even want to guarantee...

Lock the thread please!

Since I'll guarantee we go 34-0, there's no need to be concerned about where our backcourt ranks.

 

[mauconnfan]

Since I don't guzzle the kool aid like most people on this board I can't be a fan? Are you serious Clark?

I don't guzzle any kool aid (unless with Tito's) and have expressed concern. But to even blurt out your crap is ridiculous at this point but expected.

Let's see how it plays out.

That backcourt lost to Wagner and Northeastern last year. Why don't we watch a little next season before we start talking top 10 easily. I hope you're right.

My apologies no excuses, I'm too passionate, too frustrated and I become vile. I'd rather think that this is me. GO HUSKIES!!

Jalen was tentative to take the keys. As crappy as it was losing all our guys to injuries, it was huge in helping Jalen taking that next leap. He's going to be an absolute superstar this year; I just wish we had the depth and pieces around him for this team to thrive. A lot, and I mean a lot, of things need to go right for this team to be a top 25 squad.

I propose that next time you guys get 56 really, really riled up the mods drop the filter for one post and let him go off the reservation for one post. It might be good for every one. Theres an epic rant inside him. I can feel it.

Great. Please rank your top 10 backcourts in college hoops for the upcoming 2017-18 season taking into consideration each teams depth. It makes interesting conversation.

There's a lot of folks on here who love to resort to name calling - JSMH

 

[Huskymagic]

Jalen Adams was 5 star point guard, Gilbert a Mcdonald's All American point guard, and Vital is a diamond in the rough who is at a similar level and a big upgrade over Rod. Vital is a perfect complementary piece to Jalen Adams better than Gilbert in this regard. If this trio assuming everyone is healthy, is not one of the 10 best backcourts in the nation next year, then that is a huge indictment on Kevin Ollie.

Gregg Marshall wins with guys ranked outside of the top 100 every year. Ollie needs to have the team ready and prepared right out of the gates.

 

[BUConn10]

You guys keep bringing up Gonzaga Gonzaga Gonzaga.

Do you not see that Gonzaga with Few is like UConn with Calhoun. They compete in a poor conference because they have a legendary coach who has developed a brand that is really just starting to go mainstream, and the recruits and transfers are rewarding him for this now. UConn were nobodies early on until JC showed he deserves the talent, we are where we are right now because frankly Ollie has not done so.

Facts. Be careful using facts. About a half dozen of these guys will blow a gasket if you are honest and objective. Wave the pom poms really hard and you will be just fine though.
