Uconn kids always seem to add one year once it becomes clear that they can play in the NBA.  It seems to work for them and for the players.  I hope we dont see Moe go and Drummond stay. 

Maybe we can get Calhoun to talk to Moe.

I Like Harkless, very happy for him but also believe like a lot of other Jungle members that Harrison was the BE rookie of the year. He was our team leader ,  our most Consistent player, best clutch player , also had the responsibility to  play PG in a few spots per game.

Harkless 8 RPG are very nice to see & means he is not lethargic  but isn't really mind blowing being that he is plays 37MPG  at PF/C.

As for the draft ,I think both players have a shot the ability this year at being drafted in the 1st round of the NBA draft( Harkless at 15 according to NBA draftnet). Harrison biggest weakness is his height for playing SG & St.johns basketball won't help that only hurt it because next year he will be relied upon less to orchestrate the offense with branch here. The Magic would be a great pick at 25, the team loves to shoot the 3 & Nelson is always hurt & Duhon is a 3rd string PG in the NBA.

I am hoping we get some calls to  play in one of the lesser Post season tournaments, I don't want to wait until Summer Street Basketball circuit to see these kids.   
Attack basketball, pressure defense, 40 minutes of hell ... Early on it might be 30 minutes of hell, then 10 minutes of what the hell are you doing?"
