Confident dude who’s poised to have a great season. And for the first time in a long time, I don’t think his expectations are outlandish! Haha
He played within himself last year. What hopefully he did was work on his handle so he can dribble past people using a change of pace dribble like SN. He really has to improve his overall handle if he will be one of main ball handlers this year.I like VItal. I hope he plays within himself this year. He could be a real leader on the team.

I agree he absolutely did. But this is his last year, he's a senior, there's no Jalen to deffer to, and I can see him thinking, "It's up to me to win this game." Plus having a frosh outshine him, potentially, could tweak his ego. I'm not saying that it will happen, only that the ingredients are there.He played within himself last year.

Like I said, I like him and I want him to have a great last season at UConn.
Losing by 40 in the final game stings. Can we turn things around this year?
I agree that he's got a long way to go for Huskies of Honor, but something I find interesting is that he's only 77 3-pointers away from being the school's all-time leader. He's averaged 66 per year through his first 3 seasons, so although Hurley seemed to dial him back last year, it's not out of the realm of possibilities.CV may not be a husky of honor in the future, but if he leaves with getting UConn back to the postseason and wins a game or two, he will not be forgotten.
Is he shooting 500 shots a day? We need more than grit and pluck. And talk.

I think if he goes off on his own like he has been known to do on occasion in the past, Coach must have had many serious discussions with him about this going back to last year and will pull him Calhoun style to make a point to everyone elseI agree he absolutely did.
