I would say the starting 5 now has to be.
1 - Rique
2 - JA
3 - Vital
4 - Larrier
5 - Cobb
Do people seriously think we are not going to add another 1 or 2 bigs before the start of the season?
As long as we have our 3 all stars: 1) Jalen, 2) Alterique, & 3) Terry Larrier we should be fine.
We will pick up more players in a few months time.
This has to mean that we have some guys lined up for next season to come in....it better or else we are in trouble

I thought about this possibility but it doesn't seem much is out there right now and why should Durham or Enoch be afraid of dog crap that hasn't even played in this system? My impression is like 12rTackermsn12 - who are we going to add at this point that will have any kind of meaningful impact? Even a defense first type player, like who is out there?.
You're a Saint for holding the faith this long
This is going to quickly become an issue of Benedict's competence.
I do want to come back to one thing on Ollie, since apart from Ozzie very few people here are defending him anymore. The 2013-14 team had no business winning the NC. They were the least talented of UConn's 4 national championship teams and although the team had 3 40% plus 3 point FG shooters in the starting lineup, they were not good inside and looked like they would be pounded inside by 3 tourney teams they ended up beating decisively. That team played some of the best defense over a 6 game stretch of any UConn team ever. Was it all a fortuitous coincidence, just a team that got red hot and 0% of it was coaching? I don't know. But Ollie had had 3 very disappointing seasons since then as compared to what it appeared the team could be. His record is very mixed up until now.
The 2014 team did not win the championship by coincidence. Are you kidding me?
It was a rhetorical question, not a statement. You did observe the question mark, correct? I suggest you read the rest of what I posted which is consistent with the above. The reason the 2014 team won it all was superlative team defense and 88% FTs for the tourney, which will never be duplicated by any team shooting more than 100 FTs in NCAA tournament game conditions.
