Overview: Jim Calhoun never rebuilds; he reloads. However, this won’t be the same Huskies’ team that got to the Final Four last season. Losing the country’s most dominant shotblocker in Hasheem Thabeet was rough enough, but they also lost their best rebounder in Jeff Adrien and top point guard and clutch scorer in A.J. Price. Senior guard Jerome Dyson (13.2ppg, 4.1rp) returns after injuring his knee last year in February. He’s an excellent shooter and if he’s available in the postseason, the Huskies might have taken the championship. Replacing Price will be sophomore Kemba Walker (6-1, 172), who averaged 8.9ppg,
who played extremely well down the stretch and showed an ability to be more than just a distributor. Up front, the Huskies return 6-9 senior Stanley Robinson (9.5ppg, 5.9rpg), who should put up bigger stats on the boards and in the paint. Freshman Ater Majok (6-10, 235), who hails from Australia, is a talented big man who won’t be eligible to play until December, but will go right into the rotation. Gavin Edwards (6-9, 230) will get more playing time until Major is eligible. Robinson can play small forward, and with Edwards at the “four”, UConn could go with Charles Okwandu (7-1, 255) at center. The big junior played in 10 games last season, but does take up space. Freshman Jamal Coombs-McDaniel (6-7, 210) will be in the rotation, along with point guard Darius Smith (6-1, 168) and 6-6 Jamal Trice-both freshmen.

Outlook: The Huskies will miss Adrien and Thabeet early on and if Majok doesn’t live up to expectations, this sould be a very difficult season. Fortunately, the Big East is down and their backcourt has a chance to be very good. If Dyson can remain healthy, the Huskies will win around 25 games again.
