A little worried about UCONN this year. There were high hopes as last year Marcus Williams, the point guard, improved a great deal and Price, a hopeful who sat out due to a brain aneurism was to return this year.
Both of them were arrested due to stealing laptops. Price pleaded guilty and Williams took a special program for first offenders. He has to serve 400 hours of community service and gets probation, and his record will be wiped clean in a few years.
Unfortunately, as suspected, both players are suspended from the team indefinitely. It's not looking good -- while it sucks for the team, the NCAA rules are pretty strict and they did screw up big time. They really don't deserve to play on the team.
I'm not quite sure what Williams was thinking -- starting point guard and on a top NCAA division one team and he risks blowing his career over a few laptops.
