Who said that?

It wasn't directed at you, personally. I'm sad for you guys collectively that Ray Allen is being treated like a criminal by your university. He's probably my all-time favorite among your players. Always thought he was classy, and a great player.

Who "stops" a deposition, other than it getting so out of hand that you literally walk out? I just had a deposition a couple months ago with a real jerk of a lawyer, who was also not at all knowledgeable about the subject matter, and the damn thing went until 1 AM. My wife called me a couple...

Ray Allen is a legend. It's sad to read something like this.

The article I read this morning said that UConn made a bunch of document production requests, including Allen's phone records, only 2 days before his deposition. That's what they objected to, and I read that UConn's lawyers really laid into Allen in his deposition testimony.

There was a story that said UConn got 2 years on probation for Ollie's violations. Only if someone failed to read the story would they *not* know that UConn already voluntarily took its punishment. But people do that a lot; they read a headline and don't read the article.

That's pretty good. Well done.

It's something I read on the interwebs. No worries. I'm sure you will have Akok any time now.

Well, if they were friends, and if Wilson's eligibility is called into question, you never know.

Although it seems that Akok has moved on from us, someone on our board posted about Wilson's suspension giving Akok some second thoughts about you guys.

Oh, a torn retina isn't "legitimate"? Do you see those goggles he still wears?

Who has had more first round picks in the last 10 years or so?

No, we still probably have 2 more. Buddy Boeheim can go off scholarship next year, and they expect Brissett to also leave. I hear we're not getting Akok, so good luck on him. I'm hoping we can land Stewart to go with all those guards he used to play with in AAU ball, but that's a moderate...

Excellent avatar! True LOL.

Hardly, but whatever. There are big flat screen TVs in the hallway with big games from our history running on loops. All the old Big East trophies are there, Beautiful displays of all of our draft picks, all our career statistical leaders, etc. It's very nice. I think there are either 4 or 6...

Yep, that's a "let's get this over" visit, for sure.

Clean up was completed a year ago. Honeywell finishes plan to monitor Onondaga Lake cleanup, but is it enough?

Here you go. Have a look. Syracuse University Athletics

No, I don't have any insights. Seems to me he has been playing it close to the vest. Our sources have said he is leaning toward us, but of course those are our sources, so what do you expect? LOL Personally, I feel like we might have a better shot at Isaiah Stewart (coming on strong after...

It's already landed.

For the record, our records are much closer than you think: Big East Tournament: UConn - 6 times champ, 9 championship game appearances SU - 5 times champ, 13 championship game appearances Big East Regular Season: UConn 10 times champs Syracuse 9 times champs (includes co-titles for both)

To Syracuse, he looks like a Gerry McNamara clone. Not that athletic, not great defensively, but a knock down shooter, volume shooter, with in-the-gym range, and big balls. Kid averaged over 50 points a game as a junior. Sure, against mediocre competition, but still, those are crazy numbers...

You might like to bad mouth Syracuse, but we've got great facilities, a lovely campus and there's plenty to do. It's a city with a small town vibe.

Over the years, there have not been as many guys that we've both been recruiting at the same time. Maybe some of that has been because of differences in the type of athletes UConn and Syracuse were looking for. But certainly it's on right now.

Because we currently recruiting some of the same players, and I wanted to see what kind of discussion about them was going on over here. Unfortunately, it seems like you guys are not hopping on this board so much anymore.

A nice reasonable response. Thanks. Yes, your program under Calhoun reached heights that Boeheim never quite reached. Yes, some of our perceived advantage is due to us being a good program over a longer period of time. That's fair. You burned brighter for about 20 years. You and Pitt...

From what you hear, Akok already committed to UCon and has cancelled all his remaining visits. We'll see on Friday.

Let's be honest. Your current league sucks. You would have a much better looking future if you were in the Big East, if not a P-5 spot. Then the talk about "P-5 doesn't matter" would be more accurate. I'm much less worried about Syracuse being a stepping stone than you guys should be. Babers...

If Hurley is successful, and your recruiting is certainly trending better right now, I think one of the things that potentially made him a very good hire for you is that if he gets to the tournament a few times, I don't think he necessarily bolts for a P-5 job. His family name is legendary in...

I hear what you're saying, but once you get union lawyers involved protecting members of the union, they will fight like dogs, and this is one of the dirty cards that will get played.

Well, it's hard to say that with a straight face if you remember the history. Yes, only Ollie was considered for the job, but that's because Calhoun retired on the eve of the season and there was no one else who could have been considered at that point. It was totally a JC power play against...

How much endorsement money did Lenny Cooke get? When the league can only pay its players $26,000 a year, and the attendance is in the hundreds on a good night, where is that money going to come from? The only way this turns into a "thing", in my opinion, is if the NBA goes full farm-team...

No, they released the entire show in a much better mix. It's called "Wake Up to Find Out".

Ollie's lawyer did him no favors negotiating that "for cause" language - there are no lawyerly weasle words anywhere to be found - e.g., "material" violation, and of the University's own rules and procedures, not just the conference or the NCAA. That gives the university huge leeway. BlueDog...
