He’s really good. I can’t imagine he’s committing quickly, but that would be HUGE. 2025 has some big boys, but he could be the best guard in the class.

Great! This was a huge get for UConn and shows our staying power as big boy in College Baskeball world including recruiting. In Hurley we trust. I'm ready for a return trip next April in TX. I love going there to see a game with out history. Go UConn!

...courts if they try. A cap of $20 million will result in peanuts for 1000 athletes. I don’t see how them paying $33k on top of NIL is going to kill us based on the fact that we are clearly competing with the big boys on NIL. Change happens. In the end, we’ll probably survive just like we...

As to the women's issue, my guess is that's why the B1G and SEC have made it about "revenue" sharing. Separation of sources allows the sharing of revenue to be focused on those competing in the sport from which it was generated. For example, if there's only $10,000 in annual ticket sales and...

The OBE was always partial to a faction...and the power of the ACC has been Tobacco Road... North Carolina has four teams in the conference, the ACC offices are in North Carolina, the majority of championship tournaments will be in North Carolina...Swofford was a UNC Old Boy with a building on...

Boy! Notre Dame is building a monster team over there! If Koval can rise to the occasion and Miles is 100%, they are going to be a real problem! When was the last time there were this many “elite“ teams going into the season? I consider SC, UConn, USC, Notre Dame, UCLA, Texas, and LSU (slight...

It will be Somfai.

This at the time was one the greatest moments of my life. It’s hard to believe it was 34 years ago. Moved out of state that summer. 17 years later met my second wife and since then have had two boys. My oldest has been around for four chips. My youngest was in my wife’s belly during number 4 and...

The Jordan Brand Classic (JBC), now in its 23rd year, will host the nation’s top high school senior boys and girls basketball players as they take the big stage on April 21st in Brooklyn – the same city where Michael Jordan was born. The girls game will lead the way with a 4:00 PM ET tip-off...

How'd that plan work out for the big boys? I mean, since they are in control and all that. Why don't they just get together and kick uconn out of the tournament this coming year? They should be able to, right? Who's stopping them? @upstater says no one will care.

And its people like you who think that using an acronym used by someone else "messes everything up." Like you can't distinguish between USCe and USCw. Funny how many people violate your rule. (Okay, I did like the OJ reference. ) And "to educate you:" Ohio State adopted the tOSU moniker to...

Thanks for mentioning Shabazz, one of my all time favorites. He had the passion and the fire, and yes, he carried us!!

Only takes 1 Big East team to win it all. UConn and Nova have half of last 10 nattys. This drama is almost as good as a ‘Blue Bloods’ rerun.

This is how the power conferences push out the mid-majors without publicly stating such … athletic/recruiting budgets are already tight at many schools, now they’re being used to farm for the big boys.

...schools with large TV revenue streams will continue in their revised and enhanced roles as the minor leagues for pro sports. Of course, the big boys could offer a gratuity to the "lesser" schools each time they poach one of their players for the new system. I laugh when I hear the SEC and...

Maybe you missed the massive dis of the BE by the selection committee this year. The big boys don't give rats arse what UConn or the BE thinks is legit.

A little bit. I don't know what was in play at the time but Hurley was a big boy and knows the odds on a situation. Same with mora. The b12 thing wasn't a hope on anybodys radar when mora got here so I'd say mora had less promise

I'm just happy he looked competent out there, playing with the big boys and contributing within the confines of the offense and defense schemes. Wish I could say the same about the rest of the non-Castle fab five.

I chose dislike. I love college basketball in general, not just UConn. I think it sucks for mid-majors, whose success against the big boys in the tourney is the heart and soul of the sport. I don't like greed. I don't like scatterbrained, whimsical decision making. I especially don't like...

...up. USC is USC. Some come along lately small time school out of South Carolina, with no freaking history, now wants to play with the big boys and pretend they're an USC? Get a clue. You types act like sports didn't start til Dawn arrived on campus. Get a clue. Nobody cares what a bunch of...

Not sure we're going smaller at the 5. If Reed comes here, that's a 6'10 265 center. That's a pretty big boy. Having true 7-footers is pretty uncommon even at our level. There's just not very many of them.

Boy oh boy do I hope so! I am more thinking about junior year as when the Great Leap Forward happens, and next season as more incremental growth. But I will not be disappointed if it happens sooner. Go Q!!!!

The more I think about it I think it’s an NIL thing. And I get that. Say UConn is offering 750k and UK or Squid throw out 1.5mm. Not an unrealistic scenario. That’s a big enough gap where I could totally see it making the decision one would want a few days to mull over.

...to the next level on staff(Sammis?). Universities job(Trustees, Pres, AD, Alums) is to pour resources into program, so that it looks like a Big Boy program, not a treading water program. As mentioned earlier a couple of times, the Rent rocked when we were ascending, leading up to to the...

UConn going to one bowl game in 8 years and winning the NCAA Tournament The last two years has zero bearing on what is coming in the future of college athletics. You are conflating results of on field competition with legal litigation and future financial requirements. They are two completely...

It will be more complicated than that. The mid-major players will realize that transferring to a major conference school too early and getting buried on the bench will kill their college career. No coach is going to want an inbound junior or senior that has been riding the bench, so players...

Solo showed flashes, like that game against UNC he looked really good. You know what they say the best thing about sophomores is? That they ain't freshmen anymore

...as your PhD proposal!! A little depressing, especially as we bask in the glow of success and hope. The UMASS profs were predicting the big boys(P2) would take their ball and go home back in 80 when I got my Masters. Their timeline was way off, they thought it would happen around the year...

And it's cutthroat now...the portal is open season. The big boys are tilting the table. The SEC now has a rule where no SEC school can take a transfer player from another SEC team. What that means...Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Florida, LSU...they are all coming hard to buy players form other...

Don't underestimate the sophomore jump. It definitely is a thing. She's had a season to learn the system, understand her expectations, and heard from Coach about what she needs to work on over the summer. That trifecta leads to big developmental jumps more often than not among talented players...

...men's basketball to where it is today realizes that Nadav's performance that night was the first "holy crap, we really can compete with the big boys" moment for this program. Anyone who points to the Syracuse win 5 nights earlier does not understand that we beat Syracuse every 3rd or 4th...

Two of the so called fab five weren't even top 100 recruits. I truly mean no disrespect to Ross or Singare; I hope they stick with the program and earn their time down the road. But if you had high hopes for them to make an real impact this year on one of the most dominant teams we've ever seen...

is this the same mid-major Xavier that was brought in to patch up a very well-established Big East when the big boy programs were booted out? Who should be thanking who?

Lots of local places. Can’t go wrong with a PEZ.

Mystic Seaport and Sturbridge Village are good ways to sneak in some history lessons while the kids have fun. Roaring Brook in Canton is a good place on a hot day Good ol’ Quassey is an option. There’s a llama petting zoo in Cheshire (Connecticut Alpaca and Tree Farm) Lutz Children’s Museum...
