- Calhoun currently is holding two 2010 top 100 commitments (SG Jeremy Lamb and C Michael Bradley).
- Word on the street is that two kids are near becoming future Huskies during the fall signing period next week (11-18), highly rated forward, Roscoe Smith could very well be one of them. Corey Joseph may be the other, but he and fellow top rated PG Husky target, Brandon Knight, were expected to wait until the Spring.
- UConn will be getting an official visit from highly rated 2010 SG Doron Lamb on Nov. 15-16.
- Coach Calhoun spoke about the ball starting to finally roll on a practice facility, noting that it would be near Gampel Pavilion (supposedly where Memorial Field is located).
- The facility is expected to house a 1,800-square foot study hall (which would be about six times the size of UConn's current one) as well as areas that can showcase the program's success over the years.
- According to Andy Katz, Calhoun wants four-six years but UConn AD Jeff Hathaway hasn't moved yet on the matter -- the current contract expires in June. Get your head out of your ass Jeff. -- BD
