Three UConn players miss tonight's exhibition

Three players - Jerome Dyson, Donnell Beverly, and Jamal Coombs-McDaniel - all were held out of UConn's scrimmage against American International College on Wednesday night.

Dyson and Beverly were held out due to "pending routine educational document review for eligibility certification." Coombs-McDaniel was held out as a result of "pending initial-eligibility clearances from the NCAA eligibility center. In his case, academic records have been requested and a review of those records is currently underway."

Beverly, a junior guard, is not expected to get major minutes for the Huskies, but losing Dyson or Coombs-McDaniel would be a big loss for the Huskies.

Dyson is one of the best two guards in the country, and his athleticism will be a huge factor in the Huskies game plan this season. Freshman Coombs-McDaniel is not expected to start, but he has the talent and versatility to be an impact player as a freshman.

UConn has been quiet on the issue, but it looks like all three should be ready when the start of the season rolls around Nov. 13th.
