Nelson had a solid freshman season and I would argue a spectacular first half of the season. He played much better than Cruz at the same point in their careers. His assist/ turnover ratio was solid and he really didn't need to score with Fisher and Lewis in the lineup. In addition, I think maybe Garrison is being overrated by people on the board. Remember coming out of high school, he had only a few offers - Binghamton and one other college. I know a few other schools liked him but wanted him to prep. UConn only stepped in when 2 of their guards ran into legal problems. Got to believe that playing under Calhoon for two years really improved his game but he hasn't proved it on the court yet. Nelson has proved it.

I'm with hnk on this one.
There is a reason Garrison didn't play at UCONN and Benn didn't play at Villanova...they were over-recruited. Having said that, a year to mature can do wonders in their play/decision making, etc.
Prediction: a slimmed-down Kamau Gordon to surprise many with his play and will see many minutes

Garrsion will get 30+ minutes next year at the #1 and the #2. I didn't mean to dish Nelson because he played extremely well at PG last season as a frosh and will certainly be a key conributor . Garrison played reasonably well for UConn after the idiots stole the laptops at Uconn and were suspended. JAM will somehow blend Lewis, Garrison, Benn and Nelson probably into a three guard look. JAM has always gone with a 7-8 man rotation, why would it change ?
