UConn's All-American player Strong has returned to campus to lead the No. 2 ranked Huskies following a summer without organized basketball activities. The Associated Press reported Thursday that the standout athlete is back with the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Strong, who earned All-American honors last season, took an unconventional break from structured basketball over the summer months. The decision to step away from the sport temporarily appears to have refreshed the key contributor, who is now expected to anchor UConn's championship aspirations both on and off the court.
The Huskies enter the new campaign ranked second nationally, with Strong's leadership considered vital to their title hopes. Teammates and coaches have welcomed the return of the program's most decorated player, who brings experience and accolades to a roster aiming for a deep postseason run.
