[HooperScooper]

The annual Middlesex Chamber of Commerce breakfast.

"We want to stress four things," he said. "One, defend; two, rebound; three, run; and four, execute. When you all watch our team, I want you to see those four things as constants. I want our players to be consistent, as the moon sets and the sun rises."

Good to read that NBA scouts are liking what they see out of Terry Larrier. Think he has real potential to be one and done at UConn.

 

[James]

Scouts at our practices, KO doesn't need some gaudily advertised 'combine'. prospects will get seen if they are good enough

"And Jalen Adams. He is special, he is a special player. We look for elite players, elite teammates, elite people, and this guy is every one of them. When you see his smile, how he interacts with teammates, how he plays on the court, you're going to fall in love with him."

TCF, I think this is more of Ollie beefing him up (similar to his Ferarri in Purvis) to make sure Terry buys in all year. It's goes unnoticed how important Larrier is to be competing at practice against Hamilton.

I hope he stumbles a bit his first year back due to rust and all. Then we may have him for 2!

That would be hard to believe coming off what he did freshman year. One and done means he turns into a lottery pick. Rodney didn't do it but I guess anything is possible.

This is the kind of article that makes you foam at the mouth for the start of the season.

smh
Rather have him blow up and take us to another title run

 

[MexicoHusky]

For once I'd like KO, Calhoun, Billy Packer and whoever else to say nothing about a transfer during the year he sits out. Reading about the greatness of Larrier is sort of a downer for me.

 

[jibsey]

Coaches really try to be positive, which I don't blame them for, but it is also why I take their pronouncements and unbridled enthusiasm about players that have not put on the uniform yet with a grain of salt. The eyeball test for a lot of these guys is coming up soon.

 

[Husky1964]

Speaking of Billy Packer where is Ajou Deng now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously a joke.

Don't worry, Miller will take care of that.
