Re: 2018-2019 Rotation
3 out of the 4 recruits will play. A lot. Adams may not get as many minutes as the others, being behind Dowtin and Fatts at PG. Akele and Layssard will get occasional minutes, not much more. With CT it depends on whether he's fully back from injury...I don't see him playing major minutes. Tertsea w...

Full disclosure: I'm all in on hiring Dave Cox. TP, Blue Man and a few others have echoed my reasoning so no reason to get into it there. As far as the concerns in hiring a first time coach, I get it. The Jerry D scars seem to cut very deep with a lot of you. But once the stumping for Pitino gets in...

You guys are burying the lead. Nevada and Alabama are coming to the Ryan Center next year. WVU at Mohegan.
Those are all way better profile boosters than UConn. If you're talking AAC, I'd rather play Houston again.
