In an effort to lighten the mood, this week’s UConn Insider podcast focused on some good news involving Huskies of yesteryear. Well, first, a word or two on the doom and gloom of the 2017-18 bunch: beat reporter Dom Amore chats with online producer Chris Brodeur about what it’s like to cover a team playing under a cloud of negativity (1:45 ) and discusses how that affects his writing (5:00 ). Then, Amore gives a brief update on the status of an NCAA inquiry into the program’s recruiting practices (6:15 ) before discussing Emeka Okafor’s comeback (7:00 ) and the upcoming NBA All-Star Game appearances of Kemba Walker and Andre Drummond (8:30 ). The guys wrap things up with a preview of the UConn baseball season (28:00 ).
