Jerome Dyson practiced with his teammates Monday for the second straight day in preparation for Tuesday’s game against Rutgers.
Teammate A.J. Price admitted it was kind of weird to have the sophomore guard back at practice.
“A little bit. Not having him out there for the past eight games or whatever it was, to get him back and adjust it did take a little longer in the first practice,” Price said. “But I don’t think we’ll have a problem (today).”
As for his ability to play, Price says that’s not much of an issue. Dyson is apparently in good shape.
“He looked good. It looked like he was in good shape,” Price said. “He didn’t get winded, really, and he was very aggressive. So that was good to see.”
Dyson was not allowed to talk to the media by UConn officials.
Coach Jim Calhoun has not says if Dyson will play tonight (expect him to, though) and says he definitely won’t start.
“He’s not being punished,” Calhoun said. “He was already punished by me for two games and the university, I guess, for the other period of time.”
