    That Nike event...UConn recruits

    The discussion of LIL was about the women, but one of the posters mentioned that he didn’t remember any connection on the men’s side. My post was in response to that.

    UConn Outbound Transfers for 8/1/23>7/31/24 Cycle

    They were both good players and were better than what we had, but Turner did squat at Cincinnati. He had 11 catches for 89 yards. Not sure if they paid him, but on football alone, it wasn’t a great move for him.

    Mistake after mistake after mistake.

    They mentioned it during the broadcast. They said he left on Tuesday. Still begs the question as to where were the local media on this.

    The Improbability of UConn

    I was at that game & sitting with a bunch of Georgetown fans. I was complaining about the state of the program & Perno in particular. We go up 15 in the 2nd half with about 12 minutes left. During a timeout, some woman from GT chastised me for being down on my team. I pointed out to her...

    Ed Cooley to Georgetown

    Contrary to what our PC friends think, GT is a better job. They have way more money to spend than PC, & they have finally been released from the chains of JT. Plus, they are in the middle of a great recruiting area. GT still has a name in the DMV. It has faded somewhat, but still resonate.

    Ed Cooley to Georgetown

    In the beginning, Patrick recruited well at GT. His problem was 4 or 5 of them would transfer out after year one. After several cycles of this, the recruiting dropped off & they went completely off the rails picking up transfer problems to fill in the gaps.

    Marquette Post Game Meltdown Thread

    I will concede that AJ thinks he’s lousy finishing at the rim (& he probably is), but how would we know as he doesn’t try to do it. For a large percentage of the game AJ had the ball in his hands covered by a smaller guard, one 6’2” & one 5’10” He had numerous opportunities to go right to the...

    After roster shakeup, UConn guard Andre Jackson is ready to take charge

    Kemba had a great line during that season - when asked what was different between the 2011 team vs the prior year - he said - These guys listen to me.

    2022 Recruiting: Kyle Lofton

    I vaguely remember him making one with the shot clock winding down just to the right of the free-throw line. Other than that - He hasn't demonstrated a mid-range game. That said, he has decent form on free throws, so there is hope that he may be able to develop some semblance of a mid-range...

    OT: Restaurant Recommendations

    J Gilberts is a chain out of Kansas City - A relatively small chain (6 locations), but it is not local to the Hartford area. That said, the one here in McLean, VA is excellent.

    44 Years Ago Today...

    I was there & waiting for the Al Lewis reference. He had 19 pots 10 on 5 dunks. We used to joke that Al Lewis pulled the roof down. After the game, Al was asked how did he do it. He had a blank look & replied “I don’t know.” The sad part is he didn’t know & had the game of his life that...

    UConn -11.5 vs. St Johns

    He does play well against poor competition - Coppin St, CCSU. St John's is not poor competition

    UConn -11.5 vs. St Johns

    Gaffney is the reason everyone should load up on the 11.5. He can't handle pressure and SJU brings lots of it.

    30 yards of penalties on the last Vandy drive.

    I could be wrong, but I think it was #16 Malik Banks. It is unbelievable that UC could get 2 personal fouls on kickoffs calls against a team who fair catches all of them. Their view of kickoffs came right out of the Diaco handbook.

    Mike Norvell

    FSU faithful may be keen on hiring Deion, but he didn't beat FSU and he not undefeated (he's 2-1). Deion coaches Jackson State. FSU lost to Jacksonville St. Obviously easy to confuse the 2.

    Quincy Guerrier - SU

    Quincy Guerrier has placed his name in the NBA Draft without an agent. He stated that he is in the transfer portal if NBA doesn’t work out - either way he is out of Syracuse. He is a solid player whose shot was improving. Similar to Oshae Brissett.

    Kadary Richmond Transferring

    Kadary Richmond is better than any guard we have. You plug him in for 30-35 minutes and allocate the rest of the time to those who deserve it & I would promise him that. He needs work on his long range jump shot, but even that improved as the year went on. Compared to Jackson, he is Steph...

    Kevin Ollie’s lawyers ask for depositions from NCAA president Mark Emmert and national search firm as contract dispute with UConn

    From what I have read. The language in the contracts is not the same. In Fact, the specific language in Ollie's contract was a direct result of the compliance issues Calhoun had that led to UConn's punishment and a warning from the NCAA that future infractions will be treated worse. Maybe a...

    2021 Recruiting Thread

    It seems with the rapid fire approach that he is now going through the phone book. I agree that it can‘t hurt, but it is way different than previous years, particularly prior to a camp or any in person contact. I h no idea what other schools do, but I suspect the buckshot approach is most...

    All Time Above Their Heads Performances Against UConn

    Shumpert was blowing kisses to a girl who used to be his girlfriend (he didn't know that). Shortly after that game, it was revealed that she was with DeShaun Williams. That didn't make for locker room harmony. Williams eventually got chucked out of SU for assaulting a woman in a bar who just...

    All Time Above Their Heads Performances Against UConn

    I think it was Robert Phelps who lit us up in the Big East T. We wanted him bad coming out of high school and he was a big get for PC. His career was mediocre, but he saved the best for last against us in that game

    Refs

    How about Hightower’s 5 step walk to the basket. Whaley gets out of his way as he is falling down & it gets called for a foul. The game was over there. I will say over this season, the officiating has been terrible, but I can’t say UConn is consistently getting screwed. It has gone both...

    Transfer portal - outbound

    Can you read? I have twice made the point that I am not talking about former UConn players "killing it" None of them have actually killed and I don't expect any of the current 25 to kill, though some may be decent players. I am talking about all the potential incoming players who could be...

    Transfer portal - outbound

    I was not talking about out lousy UConn transfers as stated in my post. I was Referring to the great number of transfers from other schools in the portal that Edsall refuses to recruit that are doing great things for teams far better than what Randy puts on the field. & to my earlier post of...

    Transfer portal - outbound

    No, I am not. But as I mentioned, I don't care about the guys that left. This is about future recruiting for a very bad football team. the point is he said it and now it is going viral. Your second point is exactly what I am talking about. Randy should know better and not say really stupid...

    Transfer portal - outbound

    Edsall flat out said that players in the portal have issues as opposed to JUCO players, who apparently don't have issues. He did not say some have issues, and you have to be careful and vet them, he said they have issues and we are not going to recruit them unless we know them from before...

    Transfer portal - outbound

    Last time I checked over the last 2 years Randy Edsall has coached one of the 5 worst teams in the Country, historically pitiful. He can't afford to alienate anybody. He may think they are entitled, he may be upset that 25 players bailed on him, but he should be smart enough not to say it...

    This is what has them all fired up. Edsall has now insulted every transfer in the nation.

    2020 Recruiting: Andre Jackson Top 5

    Not only is it a ridiculous slight, but it is wrong. URI beat a pretty good Oklahoma team with Trae Young in the 1st rd of the 2018 Tournament. 83-78 OT.
