UConn will be playing Syracuse at MSG on Monday December 5th. That adds another game to already a good non-conference schedule. They have road games at Georgetown and Ohio State and are in the Maui Invitational with UNC, Oregon, Oklahoma State, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Georgetown. They are trying to add a game on the West Coast before they go over to Maui.
As of right now, UConn has the #6 rated recruiting class in the country by 247sports.com. PG Alterique Gilbert is the highest rated of the bunch at #34, but PF Juwan Durham is #36 and SF Vance Johnson is also top 100. Mamadou Diarra is another 4-star PF as well. They just got a commit from Christian Vital who decommitted from UNLV after Dave Rice was fired. Terry Larrier, a 6'8" swingman, transferred in from VCU last year and will be eligible to play this season. He was A-10 All-Rookie his freshman year and was a top 50 recruit his senior year in high school.
They have lost Daniel Hamilton to the draft and Rodney Purvis and Amida Brimah have declared but not hired an agent. They also lost Sam Cassell, Jr(grad transferred to Iona), Shonn Miller, Omar Calhoun, Sterling Gibbs, and Phillip Nolan to graduation. If Purvis and Brimah come back, here is what I'd expect the starting lineup to be.
PG Jalen Adams
SG Rodney Purvis
SF Terry Larrier
PF Juwan Durham
C Amida Brimah
Bench: Kentan Facey, Alterique Gilbert, Vance Johnson, Steven Enoch, Christian Vital
If Purvis and Brimah don't come back, I can see Adams sliding over to the 2 guard and Alterique Gilbert will play the point.
