Summer Practice Highlights June 2023 ... 7/27, it's now "I went from Silent Movies to Black & White T.V to Colored T.V." Apologies to I Bleed Blue

Maybe you are too oblivious to notice, but Hurley specializes at developing talent. We have seen guys like Polly and Whaley go from minor contributors to Big East 6th man of the year and Big East defensive player of the year. There is no reason to think Newton cannot make that kind of improvement.

You realize Newton is a transfer in his 5th year and not a sophomore...?

Edit- after a reread perhaps you meant Hassan Diarra?

What’s a better pic (top right, Dan and AK high 5, and Tom smiling and clapping in the far back) than this describing the mood of the program heading into next season!

Thanks, my bad, i'm confusing Newton and Diarra. Thanks for the help. Time to call it a night I guess.

How about this - before you get your panties all twisted up or insult somebody, maybe try using the correct names next time.

If I were a Mets fan I'd probably be doing drugs too.

Oh, oh, 429 won't like him bringing the ball down to his waist.

Hey now, I'm all about the dip.

He had a nice looking shot when I watched his games from this winter. Juat needs reps to get the % up past 35% and he'll be an asset.

 

[Slick]

Newton is a terrific defender, if he just improves his shooting percentage slightly, he will be a super sub off the bench and set himself up to be a starter in 24.

?????

[Mister P]

Spencer sure has a sweet looking shot. Can’t wait to see opponents trying to handle our 1-4’s on the perimeter and then Clingan down low.

 

[Umami Zen]

Young pups are looking like they belong

Anyone know roughly when Solo is expected back from injury? Wondering if he will be able to play in Europe.

Hopefully he's already been practicing. Hurley said this on June 5.

Three members of UConn’s five-man freshman class were in action on Monday, though Solomon Ball, a four-star recruit from Brewster Academy, was still recovering from an ankle injury he suffered at the end of his prep season. Hurley says Ball is about two and a half weeks away from participating in live work.

Thanks. Started wondering because I haven't seen him in these last couple of recent videos that have been posted by the team. Was hoping the injury hasn't lingered and maybe someone had the skinny on the situation.

Seeing TN up there is a good sight, especially with some of his comments surrounding maybe not taking things as he should have initially when he first got here

This is the kinda thing a real insider would be able to tell us.

He's in there in this most recent video, 12 second mark of the Stewart dunk

I think he learned a lot this summer speaking with NBA

Gonna be tough to reach those goals playing in suit jackets.

Not when the suit is made of HuskyFlex!

Would've been fun to see them fitting Donovan's suit!
