    UConn (only) recruiting (only) speculation

    Chen coming to UConn and moving KK to the off guard - not a Geno move. Beers - not convinced UConn is on her radar. We have no idea who has contacted UConn or who UConn has contacted. We have no idea of any discussions. None of us known what Geno and the staff are doing. Geno is not going to...

    Ice Brady's Freshman Year

    Both Geno and CD have stated many times it takes a couple of years for a big to transition from high school ball to D1 ball - epescially the level UConn plays at. Tina struggled, Steph Dolson struggles and yes Stewie struggled. Ica has one year of D1 ball under her belt. The progress this past...

    Can ( and will) Geno run a 9 or 10 player rotation

    good2go - I am repeating what my orthopedist told me when I asked him about ACL surgery. I am under an orthopedist's care as I am facing knee replacement surgery in the near future.

    Jana and The Newbies

    Decent summation of the coming season. Yes, there will be competition for minutes and that is as it should be. I agree with his projected starting lineup. As to tranfers, didn't need that in the video. We have no idea how Geno is going to play it with eventually of 13 healthy players.

    Can ( and will) Geno run a 9 or 10 player rotation

    Can Geno run a 10 player rotation? Can Geno run a 13 player rotation? The answer to both questions is maybe. Geno demands his players earn their game minutes in practice. Players must earn Geno's trust to get playing time. UConn's offense and defense is not an easy system to learn. A lot of...

    UConn stats... 10 reasons Ashlynn may start...(again)

    David - exceptional post!!! I see the starters as Paige (no brainer), KK (she's earned it), Ash (she's earned it), Ice and Jana right now. Not counting on Beers being a Husky. Big question if Caroline will play again. Azzi, we have seen flashes of domination, but too often injured. Aubrey will...

    The day after the draft, who’s trending?

    Assuming Nika makes the roster, fans will begin to see how good Nika really is. She should be a big help as the Storm rebuild their roster. Go Nika!!!!

    2024-25 Starting Lineup

    Why do you think she can't be dominant as the season goes on? Why do you think Strong will start and Jana won't? The same reason you apply to Jana not starting should, according to your thinking, apply to Strong. Geno knows what he has. I'll trust his judgment.

    Portal Thoughts Anyone?

    None of us are Geno. None of us are on staff. Some are more knowledgeable than others. And none of us know what Geno is thinking or is doing. And the threads about who's in the portal and who we need are absolutely crazy. Not going to worry.

    Kimani and Luke Returning

    To quote that old phrase - "the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence" seems to apply here. Both Luke and Kimani have been given big authority/ responsibility/ input on how UConn basketball functions. They have delivered. Their words/ ideas are trusted by Hurley. Both have...

    How did you become a UConn fan?

    Born and raised in Poughkeepsie NY. We had a player who went FDR high school in Hyde Park, NY. He played four years for UConn. He was my introduction to UConn basketball. Wes Bialosounknia - The Poughkeepsie Popper. Since I played ball, a lot of us in the area followed his career. Papers were...

    Incredible UConn basketball stats! Congrats to the UConn men!

    Luke Murray is the architect of the UConn offense. He has been studying ad developing this since his college days.There is a lot of the European style of play in the men's offense. Very difficult to defend as we all have seen. He and Kamani are the perfect pair. And neither is going anywhere.

    Hurley post game national title

    Did anybody really think Hurley was going anywhere? There is/ was no way. He's a Jersey guy married to a Jersey girl. East Coast all the way!!! UConn Huskies!!!!

    I don't beleive Geno has to go to the portal. He has 13 players right now. Yes it is a young team in many respects, but this is how you keep the program relevant. Develop the young talent. Live with their mistakes. Encourage them at every opportunity. Geno has the frontline depth now. No...

    Amari will be missed. Great personality and a wonderful young lady. I wish her all the best. Sometimes things just do not work out. It happens. Let's leave it at that.

    Tenn. has hired....

    Congrats to the AD for going outside the Summitt coaching tree. This had to happen. Let's see if the portal has any LV's in it in the next few days. If the new coach likes up tempo, high powered offense and a pressing defense, she has a lot of recruiting to do.

    Charlie Creme's Way-Too-Early Top 25

    Not worried at all about Charlie's predictions. #4 is good for us. We have a lot of questions going into next year. Keep 'em guessing. Texas at #2 is fair. ND at #3 - needs some answers. Biggest question is how will Hidalgo and Miles co-exist? Iowa not being ranks is a no brainer. They fall...

    2024-25 Starting Lineup

    Let's see, we know what Paige, KK, Ash, Ice and Q can do. I would expect all will be working their game over the summer. There is your basis of a starting 5. Not saying all will start. But you have to have a base line. Next - the walking wounded. All are quetion marks. Azzi - have to determine...

    Edey played all 40 minutes

    Watching Edey yesterday, he camps down low, backs in and uses his hook shot. Force him to set up higher in the lane. This changes his game. He will need to fight more for the position he wants. Takes him out of his rhythm. Hurley's normal rotation of Clingan and Samson should work. Edey also is...

    How reffing and rules should be changed

    Great topic for discussion. I would like to see serious discussions on the number of head shots, face shots that players take. This has to stop. Concussions, broken noses and the like cannot be condoned. Another facet we are seeing a lot, players jumping into a defender, initiating contact to...

    What does it mean getting Sarah

    Welcome to the UConn jigsaw puzzle. How will all these "piece" fit together is the big question. There is a lot of talent, some of it untested. In fact outside of Paige, Ash, KK, Ice, Q, the talent is untested. And yes, that includes those coming off of season ending injuries. So, how does...
