Two months have passed, but the ConnCast is back.

On this episode, Chris Brodeur and I discuss the end of UConn’s 2012-13 season. There were some players who surpassed expectation, and others who didn’t. We hit on a little bit of everything, including (of course) the NBA Draft talk. To be clear, my stance there is as follows: DeAndre Daniels and Ryan Boatright should NOT go pro. I’m also not advocating that Shabazz Napier definitely should, but I’d understand if he chose that route.

Jim Calhoun (AP)

In this week’s ConnCast, Chris Brodeur and I discuss Jim Calhoun’s post-retirement life and Kevin Ollie’s contract extension (in between my coughing and sneezing).

Calhoun touched on a number of topics — his  aspirations for the future and the crumbling of the Big East among them — during an interview with Hearst Connecticut last week. You can read the story here.

Although I couldn’t squeeze this into the article, I’d like to point out that Calhoun admitted to being a dedicated Homeland fan. I believe he used the word “riveting.” We discuss Homeland and a few other Calhoun matters in 20 equally-riveting minutes below.

Sparked by last week’s question regarding the professional careers of Shabazz Napier and A.J. Price, we examine similar scenarios in this week’s ConnCast.

The News-Times’ Chris Brodeur and I debate the following topics: Better pro career — Napier or Price? Hasheem Thabeet or Alex Oriakhi? Kemba Walker or Ben Gordon? Andre Drummond or Emeka Okafor?

We also discuss the worst free throw of all-time. As a miserable free throw shooter, I feel for the guy. Still can’t come up with a semi-reasonable explanation for that “shot,” though.

November came and went with no ConnCast, but we wade sure December wouldn’t pass by, too.

After a month off, co-host Chris Brodeur and I had plenty of ground to cover. We talk conference realignment, UConn’s biggest surprises through seven games and our favorite “Ollie-isms.”
