Brimah
Facey
Enoch
Durham


The roster is littered with unskilled big men
This has to stop and this is my problem with KO
The game is changing and he is shown no ability to adapt.

You cannot have 4 players on the roster, and often 2 of them on the floor at the same time that cannot shoot, pass, or dribble.

It's so obvious this is why the offense is horrible

Not to mention they have no back to the basket game, are average rebounders and routinely accumulate more fouls than points.

ITS 2017 OLLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wake the hell up or pack your bags

Translation - I cannot refute what CFP is saying, so I will resort to calling him a hater and not a UCONN fan

Grow up son
As I post I'm watching Facey pathetically attempt 2 back to the basket moves then travel.........

Brimah and facey are the result of being tagged with recruiting sanctions and not having the extra scholarships to bring in more big men.

Enoch is extremely young and should be a freshman. For comparison sake jalen who is the same class is 21 months older. Also big men take longer to develop. Enoch has made strides this year and with more playing time and confidence he will be a problem for opposing teams. Patience

Durham hadn't played in 2 years before this year due to injuries. Anyone who knows anything about basketball can see he oozes potential. He just needs to get back to full strength get playing time and gain weight. He has the highest ceiling of anyone on the team

I have to say that after four years, Brimah is still a mystery to me. His hands are absolutely horrible when it comes to rebounding, and every pass to him in the lane is an adventure, usually ending at best in a bobble or at worst in a travel or some other type of turnover. Yet, throw him an alley-oop (which in my mind requires much more coordination than rebounding or catching a simple pass) and he can gather it in and convert like nobody's business, even if the lob is bad.

Brimah is like Stanley Robinson, a player who you watch sometimes and think he is capable of a lot more than what he is giving. I don't think his instincts are very good, he picks up a few too many bad fouls and it has slowed his development and taken him out of games, mentally and physically. He scored 40 his sophomore year against Coppin State and I think 24 of the 40 were on alley oop or lob dunks. For some reason he is really good at catching dry lob and alley oop passes overhead, but any pass below shoulder level come to him fairly well buttered. Why the overhead passes are dry and the below shoulders passes are all buttered is not clear. I expected him to be better than he is but when he avoids fouls (not often) and is on his game he is a superior rim protector, although he doesn't always fundamentally rim protect and leaves spaces open for teams that are aggressive hitting the O boards. At one time in his sophomore year he was being projected as an NBA First Rounder on the mock draft websites, but I have not really seen him in too many mock drafts lately.

Their bald 40 year old white guy just picked up his first foul, lol. He should be in the WWE.

Vital has been excellent lately, but is laying an egg tonight.

This would be a good win if we hang on.

Lol... You know what's funny I thought the same thing. That dude is a clown.... Y'all didn't get to see it but pregame he would full on sprint hard to get on and off the court from locker room. The only one doing it. Also coming in and out at halftime samething. I was looking at him like what is he trying to prove.... Kind of like those kids who aren't that talented but willing to show that he is busting his butt at all times... IDK lol

When I was 22 I still had a full head of hair but I am partial to the hair comments as well and it's gonna be all downhill for that kid so he may as well clean shave the head like I do. You as well Ozzie. The half head of hair doesn't work, regardless of race. Just get yourself some Shick Hydro 5 blades, as long as you don't have a big pumpkin head a smooth shaved head is a better look. Fortunately I have a nicely shaped head and can pull it off as well as Marvin Hagler did.

That kid is the kind of banger type UConn needs.

UConn's girls team is smallish and also undefeated BTW. It's not all about size, it's how they use their size especially with Williams and Collier. Williams is 5'11" and consistently eats up kids that are 6'2"-6'4" she is playing against. Collier is 6'2" and does the same to even bigger girls.

Haha, sorry guys.

The only problem is if professor propecia played for us, he'd foul out by halftime. :)

Khalid, everyone was anointing Lou as the next uconn great and Collier is racing by her. Gabby as well.

Samuelson has more offensive talent than Collier, or Gabby, but they are better all around players. Collier does not take any bad shots. I do not remember her taking a bad shot in her two years at UConn. And although she can shoot the 3, she is not same class a shooter as Samuelson. Samuelson was shooting 48% on 3s the first 18 games and 30% in the last 8 or something like that, which I think is partly due to a physical issue we do not have the full story on. It has been the reverse story of Rodney Purvis with her, but I think the first 18 games are the real Samuelson and not the last 8
