John Gasaway previews the first eight alphabetically. I’m not going to review or summarize — read it and draw your own conclusions.

Instead, I’m going to put on my UConn fanboy hat. There’s reason for tremendous optimism for the Huskies this year. They’re bringing back essentially the entire rotation, all sophomores and juniors now (obvious). They led the conference in defense in 06-07 (semi-obvious). They’ll have one of the more efficient floor generals in the conference from last year in Price (not-so-obvious). Don’t agree? That’s what reading the aforementioned article is for.

The offense can only get better as someone, anyone?!, figures out how to score efficiently this time around. Price will find any scorers that emerge, and there’s depth everywhere. It’d be insane to expect or even hope for championship-caliber basketball in Storrs, but with all the “potential” “upside” here, it feels sort of like 1998 or 2003.
