Price Pleads Not Guilty: Connecticut guard A.J. Price pleaded not guilty to charges of larceny in connection with the theft of four laptop computers from an athletic dormitory. Price has been charged with three counts of felony larceny and with lying to police, and is due back in court on Sept. 27. The redshirt freshman missed all of last season after nearly losing his life from a brain hemorrhage in October. He has not been medically cleared to play in the event he is cleared of charges and reinstated to the basketball team. [8/31/05]
