Ryan Boatright will return to the University of Connecticut for his senior season.

Boatright averaged 12.1 points and 3.5 rebounds as a junior last season.

DeAndre Daniels will enter the 2014 NBA Draft.

Daniels averaged 13.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game as a junior at UConn.

Daniels was a Final Four All-Tournament Team selection in the Huskies' title run.

Kevin Ollie has instantly become one of the hottest coaching commodities in basketball after winning the 2014 National Championship in his second season at Connecticut.

NBA teams will certainly pursue Ollie given his excellent reputation over a long career as a player.

“It’s just a matter of time,” said one NBA general manager. “The league will come calling. He’s a great communicator and has a calm demeanor. This win alone, however, doesn't just tilt the scale. It breaks it.” 

“He would be excellent,” another GM said following Monday night’s victory. “He’s a stud. He understands the NBA, he’s a leader, has faced adversity and fought through it.” 

One NBA executive said that whichever teams pursue Kevin Durant when he becomes a free agent will want to hire Ollie.

Durant has spoke often about how much he respected Ollie as a teammate.

Connecticut defeated Kentucky by a final score of 60-54 to win the 2014 National Championship.

Shabazz Napier had 22 points, 6 rebounds, three assists and three steals in the game and was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.

Ryan Boatright added 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting.

James Young led Kentucky with 20 points and seven rebounds.

Shabazz Napier was asked about the possibility of compensation for college athletes.

“We as students athletes get utilized for what we do so well, and we’re definitely best to get a scholarship to our universities. But at the end of the day, that doesn’t cover everything. We do have hungry nights that we don’t have enough money to get food in. Sometimes money is needed. I don’t think you should stretch it out to hundreds of thousands of dollars for playing, because a lot of times guys don’t know how to handle themselves with money.”

Napier expressed concerns about universities profiting off jersey sales.

“I feel like a student athlete. Sometimes, there’s hungry nights where I’m not able to eat, but I still gotta play up to my capabilities. I don’t see myself as so much of an employee, but when you see your jersey getting sold, it may not have your last name on it, but when you see your jersey getting sold, to some credit, you feel like you want something in return.” 

Connecticut is in the National Championship Game against Kentucky despite not having a McDonald's All-American on its roster.

Maryland in 2002 is the only team since 1979 to win the National Champions without a McDonald's All-American.

Shabazz Napier is a First Team All-American but wasn't a five-star recruit.

This season's Final Four schools, Florida, Connecticut, Kentucky and Wisconsin, have a combined 46 former players currently on NBA rosters. Fifteen of Kentucky's 21 current NBA players have entered the league since John Calipari arrived in 09-10.
