I think Goodman needs another "way" in the title.Aptly named
Goodman’s really done a 180 in my view. I remember during the end of the Calhoun era and during the Ollie years (back when he was still with ESPN), he never missed a shot to take a jab at UConn. Now, he tends to treat us fairly, if not show us some love.A lot of things confuse me about this list, but the top one has to be Maryland at 5 and Michigan at 12. Emphasis on way too early I guess. Still nice to see Goodman giving UConn some love.
He really liked Shabazz...but I don’t think UConn is hated under Dan Hurley. First of all, we have not been the goliath like we were under Calhoun. When you get to the top of the mountain, a lot of people try to knock you off, but we have not gotten there yet. The Hurley’s are very well respected in the basketball world, not saying Jim Calhoun and Kevin Ollie were not, but I don’t think I have ever heard anything negative said about Bob Sr, Bobby, and Dan.Goodman’s really done a 180 in my view.

I’m assuming he was not someone that got along with Calhoun and that extended to KO, but he’s friendly with Hurley.
You're not alone. I'm checking this board often for a transfer that can cause some excitement lolI hope we are that good but I'm skeptical
Neither us nor Syracuse, as rosters are currently constructed, should be in this way-too-early top 25.
But especially not Cuse at 13. THIRTEEN!?!? That team has 18-12, playing for the bubble again, written all over it... or maybe worse, the way the program has trended since their season ended. Even if they add pieces of need, they should maybe barely crack the top 25.
The only way we are a pre-season top 25 team is if we add talented, veteran, shooting+scoring. Otherwise, we are not a preseason top 25 team until Gaffney, Jackson, Akok and Sanogo take the next step (which should end up happening, but not for pre-season polls), or any of the incoming freshmen turn out to be instantly special.
We have some serious hole to fill on O. We can’t defend our way to 55-52 wins all season.You're not alone. I'm checking this board often for a transfer that can cause some excitement lol
Syracuse has been out performing us for a few years now. Let's leave them alone for now. Lets try and hope we can exceed expectations since 2014 LolNeither us nor Syracuse, as rosters are currently constructed, should be in this way-too-early top 25.
