Next year

[krinklecut]

We’re gonna be good. Anyone else excited?

 

[NowInStorrs]

In Sool we trust

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

No, not right now.

I am excited. I think the pieces we have coming in should start to build on our strengths and minimize our weaknesses. If we get a shooter and 1v1 shot creator as transfers or recruits by next season, I think we could potentially be even better than this year.

 

[TheRealKBuks]

I know Hurley says defense is our hallmark, but screw that. What good is defense if you can't score. I'd rather lose a game after game in the 80s than watch the game we just witnessed ever again

 

[uconntoatl]

Jordan Hawkins needs to shoot the ball 50 % on all possessions

 

[Castlevania]

We need Clingan

is this a troll?

 

[WrenchFan69]

As of right now, I don't think we'll be a tournament team next year. Losing our best offensive player by far and our best shooter on an already bad offensive team. Could change with seniors returning/transfers in, obviously (and hopefully)

 

[navery12]

I'm excited, depending on the pieces we bring in this could be a very good team and one that won't be afraid of the bright lights in March

I think were a bubble team. Team was awful without bouknight . Hope hurley brings in more quality shooters in the offseason

 

[UCDaveD]

Tournament team? We’re talking about the NIT, right?

No way in hell are we are we a Tournament team... unless something changes drastically...We just shot 32% with our best player leaving. Our best win of the entire season was USC. We lost to bottom feeder programs in the big east and not a single player on the team has shown that they can consistently shoot. How in the hell can anyone even remotely fathom this program going NCAA next year ... UNLESS someone comes in next year and is a hero.

Freshmen don't count right now.

 

[AntG168]

You guys are absolutely miserable.

 

[navery12]

I agree, I just wanted to get in this year. Next year the excuses stop, for the players and coaches

 

[Chin Diesel]

We need Clingan

He won't help next year. You realize that, right?

 

[UCTitleTown]

Not getting LeBron's kid or Motumbo's kid. Does James Harden have a son we can recruit?

 

[Castlevania]

He won't help next year. You realize that, right?

yeah, still doesnt change the fact...

 

[businesslawyer]

A lot of things have to happen for us to be as good as this year. Jackson has to start having an impact and not just impress people with his athleticism. Akok has to come back and be an impact player. Sanogo has to be able to play 30 minutes a game without fouling himself to the bench. And Hurley has to realize that the guy who can get his shot is Sanogo, and quit starting with the bigs out high and play more inside out.

That’s a lot of ifs. If it all goes right we could be better, but if Jackson still can’t shoot and Akok isn’t a better version of Whaley and Sanogo can’t stay on the court ....

 

[UCTitleTown]

Will give us hope for the future. Kid's a freaking stud.

 

[JMick]

If we don't upgrade the roster, I see us as a bubble team. It's the following year that I expect all the pieces to be put together for a conference favorite/top 15 team.

 

[ScuderiaDiU]

Well, it depends on player development. I don't see what everyone else seems to see in Andre Jackson. But he is only a freshman and this was a crazy year. Still, I don't know what he did to make everyone so confident. Hopefully you all are prophets.

 

[EastConn'er]

LOL - when Bouk leaves... I have zero clue who can score points next year. Boneyard logic... our best players are the players who haven't played college basketball yet.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I think the pieces are there, and quite frankly I see significant Ewing Theory potential with Bouknight gone.

Everyone is going to have to be a contributor and look to score, and I think our on-court leadership will be better.
