1. You have felt like this about a UConn team
2. UConn has started the year off 10-0 winning all by double digits? Ever?
3. any team has looked this dominant after starting the year unranked
4. a UConn freshman big man has looked this good
5. you've seen a big man combination this good
6. you looked down the schedule and couldn't find that scary game

?

I know it's a long season, but this is some crazy s*#t we're seeing!

Possibly Drummond , Alex Oriahki although it didn’t work out . Talent wise it was great.
Emeka , Hilton , Josh Boone were the most dominant.
*Even Carlton / Whaley / Akok
* Whaley / Sanogo
Recruiting a legitimate big in the AAC was difficult
Although we won with Brimah / Nolan, My opinion on Nolan has softened . The guy gave up his body on picks and did grunt work. Brimah was the missing piece to ramping up team defense and winning a NC.
* Hard to say how good these guys could have been because their teams lacked outside shooting which makes playing the 5 extremely difficult.

I think Emeka/Hilton is the only one that compares, but Hilton didn't really blossom until his senior year after Emeka was gone. And absolutely, things are a whole lot easier on a 5 when you have shooters.

Speaking of Hilton, Castleton has some Hilton height going on.

Hey, we have won 4 NC with great post play. For me, Clingan just seems to be the biggest person we have ever had. Not the tallest. He intimidates by being there. People won't drive the lane because of his size, not worth it.
