Jalen Adams Leaves Complicated Legacy at UConn

UConn men’s basketball’s season came to an inglorious end at the hands of Houston in the AAC Tournament as the Huskies were thrashed, 84-45. It was also the final game in the tumultuous career of senior guard Jalen Adams.

When Adams arrived at UConn, expectations were sky-high. Some of that was because Adams was a very highly-touted prospect coming out of Roxbury, Massachusetts — the same hometown of Shabazz Napier.

But it also had to do with when Adams came here. The Huskies were in the midst of the greatest stretch of guards in program history, beginning with AJ Price, then going to Kemba Walker, who handed off to Napier before ending with Ryan Boatright.
