Terrence Samuel said this morning via twitter he “can’t wait” to sign his letter of intent. Nothing yet on Kentan Facey, UConn’s other commit. I’ll pass along as soon as I hear something, later tonight.
UConn announced Kevin Ollie has pledged $100,000 of his own money to help build the proposed basketball training facility. He’s making a pro-rated portion of $625,000 to coach the Huskies this season, so it’s a big chunk of h is salary.

Don, I could not figure out what was wrong with Napier in the first half yesterday…he was going through the motions and had no intensity, which is uncommon for him. Conversely I am really impressed with RJ and agree with KO’s comments about him. The guy comes in and plays hard every minute, rebounds, plays good “D” and sets a great example for his team mates. What I don’t understand is that UCONN players don’t seem to have any anticipation about rebounding; when Olander shot from the corner, there was absolutely no one near the basket. Not only don’t they block-out, they don’t even get in a position to get an offensive rebound. Have you noticed?
