UConn Preview Capsule
Oct 31, 2017 - 3:37 PM UConn Last season: 16-17, did not qualify for postseason Nickname: Huskies Coach: Kevin Ollie Conference: American Athletic Conference Who's gone: G Rodney Purvis, G Vance Jackson, F Kentan Facey, F Steven Enoch, F Juwan Durham, C Amida Brimah Who's back: G Jalen Adams, G Alerique Gilbert, G Christian Vital, F Terry Larrier Who's new: G Antwoine Anderson, F Isaiah Whaley, F Kwintin Williams, F Tyler Polly, F Mamadou Diarra, F Eric Cobb, F Josh Carlton, F David Onuorah. The Skinny: After losing Jackson, Enoch and Durham to transfers, UConn brought in eight new players. Three others, Gilbert Larrier and Diarra, return from injuries that cost them most or all of last season. Adams and Gilbert could give the Huskies one of the best backcourts in the nation. The frontcourt has nobody over 6-foot-9. The Huskies were picked to finish fifth in the annual conference pre-season poll, but there are just too many questions for anyone to have a solid read on Kevin Ollie's young squad. ___ For more AP college basketball coverage: http://collegebasketball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_Top25No one has shouted yet.
