[Rocktheworld]

Purvis

Yeah I couldn't believe I forgot

 

[HuskyFich]

Okay VJ, your turn

 

[tzznandrew]

I'd like them to get Larrier, if at all possible.

 

[champs99and04]

Somebody start erecting a statue of @CallMeBruce in front of Gampel

 

[borninansonia]

Four guys that can (hopefully) pass the ball: Adams, Gibbs, DHam, and Miller.

I don't recall any UConn men's team that had 4 guys who can pass; the women, of course, their starting five can all pass.

We got a real good 1. Great choice by Sterling Gibbs! Great fit for UConn.

I love they he has great passing ability and can truly play the point. He can sure shoot the rock. Though I will say not the most athletic guy but very crafty and quick to get to his spots on the floor. He is a good chance of pace from Jalen who is a high flyer.

Death. Taxes. Rothstein fails.

Death. Taxes. UConn in Texas.

Brimah is the 1 weak link.
he needs to go out there and rebound.
very very very excited about Gibbs and next years team.
welcome Gibbs. Thanks for coming here to help try and win #5.
if you don't, be prepared to suffer the Consequences......
I will Yell and Scream a lot

First player from New Jersey to play for UConn since Tate George I believe.

If Amida Brimah is the "weak link", this is a darned good team.

Sam Jr. is also a good passer...this versatility should equal great team chemistry!

Well we weren't that great at center in 2014 and won it but yes AB has to come back stronger or the new kid might see a lot of time at center (SE).

 

[johnhuskies95]

His name is trending on Twitter.

 

[Jimdish255]

Great get and Adams will still be a factor.

 

[3rdbass]

I love that Jerry Meyer stuck with his co-worker as he must of have known he had really good sources unlike some others.

 

[Milo65]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RichZ]

Somewhere Rothstein just flipped over a large pizza in disgust for being played

And how many times will he find a reason to dis the kid while he's a UConn? I suspect we might see pettiness raised to new levels.

 

[CTBasketball]

This is splendid news. Helps to replace Boat's scoring and provides a consistent 3pt shooter and toughness.

 

[tcf15]

Per-game stats for Gibbs in Big East play last year:

Scoring: 17.5 (2nd)
Assists: 4.1 (5th)
Steals: 1.2 (11th)
3P%: 42.0 (7th)
3P made: 2.9 (2nd)
A/T Ratio: 2.0 (3rd)

 

[superjohn]

Sterling dropped 40 points in a game last year and has hit several last second shots for Seton Hall, kid is good and clutch.

 

[ctchamps]

Well it's official!!!!

Welcome Sterling, Shonn, Steve and Jalen.

Sterling is already listed on this site! http://www.verbalcommits.com/schools/connecticut

Now that it's official I can celebrate twice. Told my wife that if Sterling committed we were heading to B of A. Booked a room at the Comfort Inn last week. Trusted "The Bruce" but didn't want to mess with the mojo by declaring what I did publicly. This is a first for us. Really excited about the team's prospects and the opportunity to see the team develop in a beautiful location.
