UConn, who’s Getting Minutes. Who Has Work to be done?

@LockedOnUConn

In today’s episode of Locked On UConn, we dive deep into the key players who will likely dominate the minutes on the floor this season. We’ll start by analyzing the combo of Jaylin Stewart, Hassan Diarra, and Ahmad Nowell, and how their versatility and skill set will mesh perfectly with Alex Karaban, Liam McNeeley, and one of the bigs, either Samson Johnson or Tarris Reed Jr. This lineup embodies Coach Dan Hurley’s vision of controlled speed and dynamic movement, with four out of the five players being able to score at all three levels at an elite rate.

In the second segment, we focus on the players who still have work to do to earn significant playing time. Solo Ball, Aidan Mahaney, and Jayden Ross are names to watch as they continue to develop and prove themselves in practice. We’ll break down what each player needs to improve to secure more minutes in this competitive roster.

Finally, we preview the 2024 Maui Invitational, where UConn will face tough competition right from the start. We’ll discuss the bracket, potential matchups, and what UConn needs to do to defend their title and make a statement early in the season.

I just hope coach finds a way to get about 9-10 kids good minutes each game so we can see what these kids are made of.
