JEFF ADRIEN 6-6, 225, Forward Brookline, MA Brookline HS/Brewster (NH) Acad. A consensus Top 50 recruit and among the elite fifth year players in the country this season... Averaged 27 points and 14 rebounds as a senior at Brookline HS. Coach Calhoun on Jeff Adrien Jeff is a player with tremendous toughness and athleticism. He is a relentless competitor who reminds me of a Kevin Freeman or Donny Marshall-type, with the ability to play inside and the potential to eventually play from the perimeter. He comes off an outstanding summer and had a standout high school career for coach Mark Fiedor at Brookline. He will really benefit from a fifth year at nationally-renowned Brewster Academy under coach Jason Smith. ANDREW BYNUM 7-0, 295, Center Metuchen, NJ St. Joseph s HS A consensus Top 25 national recruit and the nation s top high school center... Averaged 14 points, 12 rebounds and nine blocks as a junior at St. Joseph s. Coach Calhoun on Andrew Bynum Andrew is the best pure high school center in the country and has tremendous size, soft hands and a nice scoring touch. We expect him to be an immediate inside physical presence. He had a terrific summer, gaining valuable experience and confidence. He is a young senior, having just turned 17, and his potential is limitless. Coach Mark Taylor has been instrumental in his development and has put together a challenging schedule for Andrew s senior year. MARCUS JOHNSON 6-6, 195, Forward/Guard Los Angeles, CA Westchester HS A consensus Top 50 national recruit... Averaged 19.8 points and seven rebounds per game as a junior at Westchester. Coach Calhoun on Marcus Johnson Marcus has the potential to be another in the long line of outstanding wing players we have had here at Connecticut. An explosive athlete, he brings great size and quickness to the position and has the makings of becoming a great perimeter defender. He is also a proven winner, playing under coach Ed Azzam for the nation s No. 1-ranked high school program at Westchester University of Connecticut Basketball Media Notes-- JANUARY 5, 2005 vs. BOSN COLLEGE UCONN HUSKIES BASKETBALL

The move toward national prominence for the University of Connecticut basketball program began in May of 1986 when Jim Calhoun was named head coach. Eighteen years later, UConn Basketball sits atop the college basketball landscape with a pair of NCAA National Championships, an NIT Championship, 14 BIG EAST Conference titles, and annual recognition as one of America's truly outstanding college programs. In February of 2004, Jim Calhoun was named one of 16 finalists for election in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Despite narrowly missing a rare first ballot election to the Basketball Hall of Fame, Coach Calhoun cemented his place among the all-time collegiate coaching greats and as a future member of the Hall of Fame by leading the Huskies to the 2004 national title. In directing the Huskies to their second NCAA National Championship in the past six seasons, Jim Calhoun became only the second coach to win multiple NCAA titles since the tournament field expanded to 64 teams in In his 33rd season as a head coach on the NCAA Division I collegiate level, Jim Calhoun's overall collegiate head coaching record is (69.5% winning effort). That includes a (64.4%) record in 14 seasons as head coach at Northeastern (MA) University and a (72.6%) mark in his 19th season at Connecticut.

UConn finished the season with a 33-6 overall record, beating Duke in the national semifinals and rolling past Georgia Tech before 44,468 fans in the national championship game in the Alamodome in San Antonio. Coach Calhoun reached several milestones during the season in addition to being a Hall of Fame finalist. He notched his 650th career win vs. Sacred Heart and registered his 400th career victory at UConn in the season opener vs. Yale. With the win over Syracuse on February 2, Coach Calhoun passed John Wooden to move into the top 20 on the NCAA All-Time Division I Coaching Wins list and currently stands in 18th place in NCAA history with 680 career wins. En route to its second NCAA title in 2004, UConn advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 12th time under Coach Calhoun, making the program one of only five schools to advance to national postseason play for the last 17 consecutive seasons. In his 18 seasons at Connecticut, Jim Calhoun has compiled a stunning overall record in national postseason tournament competition (32-9 in NCAA play, 12-4 in NIT play). His 32 NCAA wins at UConn, all achieved in the past 15 years, far outdistances the entire total of four NCAA victories recorded at Connecticut before Coach Calhoun took over the Husky basketball program in the spring of Jim Calhoun has led UConn to 12 NCAA bids in the past 15 years.
