Jim Calhoun: New team more talented
Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun says he has more talent this season than he had on the team that won the national championship in April.
Calhoun made the comment Thursday before a dinner at which the 2010-11 Huskies received their national championship rings.
"We're more talented right now," Calhoun told reporters. "It doesn't mean we're going to win any games. It doesn't mean we're going to win a national championship. I think we can."
UConn returns four starters from last season's squad, which went 11-0 in the postseason to win both the Big East and the NCAA titles.
The Huskies also have added a highly-regarded recruiting class that includes 6-foot point guard Ryan Boatright, 6-8 forward DeAndre Daniels and 6-foot-11 center Andre Drummond -- a surprise signing that came late in August, and propelled the Huskies to the top of many preseason watch lists.
