Jim Calhoun on Scott Burrell: "He's ready for this job. I think he'll do a great job ... They have a hometown hero coming back. Calhoun admits he never thought he'd see Burrell
get into coaching while he was a player. Calhoun also said the next former #UConn player he'd like to see get into college coaching is Taliek Brown. "

Yea my main man Taliek has been wanting to coach for a few years now. He had is aau team and team footprintz thing going on. He wants a job at UCONN bad... I'm sure down the line KO will give him that shot!
