    Portal: Trazarean White - UNCW

    The TSwift mention - and it's applicability to you -was quite conscious. Without it, my "Sez the guy who can't even spell his own name" wouldn't have been enough for me to risk it being misinterpreted as a too-smug a dig at you. It has to be premised on appreciation for you...especially on a...

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    I have awakened after being well in compliance with your kind suggestion since an hour before it was made. The balance of the previous post evaporated like a fine dream after I forgot that I was editing past the time limit when I was presented Save instead of Send. I took it as a sign that I...

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    Eek Ooh Ah Duh "I'm not an insider, but I still like to puff my chest, and pump things up when I hear them elsewhere. I'm a gossip. I do it for fun. And then claim it's no big deal when I'm wrong, or when somebody presses me in the matter. And then do it again. And again. You should know...

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    And here's his 3rd post from page 1 of this thread, the second lengthy thread on the subject... "Cause you know I love the players And you love the game"

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    Even without arguing whether I'm insisting on anything, I can still claim that you've inferred what I may not necessarily have implied. It's by design, and for a good cause...moving us further toward the completion of page 40, and into quadruple digits, without necessarily causing any of the...

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    I neither confirm nor deny, and leave you to your proof, with specificity, on the matter of the word "should" and its intent. Equivocation is among the sources of refuge (and support) for a person whose oft-stated purpose is to lessen the incidence and/or impact of extreme exaggeration and is...

    2024 Recruiting: ESPN 100 2024 Final Rankings

    With or without awareness or acknowledgement from those alluded to in your final paragraph, what you're suggesting is no less than a contributing factor, even if falling short of being "the culprit." I believe that your identification & presentation of behaviors, communications, possible...

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    I question the motives of those who tell others what they should or shouldn't do. They might have a vested interest in controlling others rather than themselves.

    2024 Recruiting: ESPN 100 2024 Final Rankings

    I just looked and 24/7 showed 73rd, which is what I was recalling. Still, in addition to ESPN showing 56, I just saw Rivals and On3 both higher than ESPN. I'm not going to bother to look for a consensus. I agree with you, and my greater interest was noting that Abraham at 58 is pretty good .

    2024 Recruiting: ESPN 100 2024 Final Rankings

    Donovan was ranked something like 72, right? But, on the overall topic of roster construction, I do expect the landscape to change every year for the foreseeable future. Look at the many ways this coaching staff could have gotten caught flat-footed every single year, and look at how it has...

    2024 Recruiting: ESPN 100 2024 Final Rankings

    Isaiah Abraham seems to be regarded as an afterthought when posters speculate about rosters, rotations, and playing time. The common Boneyard inclination is to regard many UConn recruits as underrated, and rarely overrated. A final ranking of 58 seems to have gotten more of a ho-hum response, I...

    One last thing on Cam

    I'd say that he would either have been a nobody to UConn fans if he hadn't played for an opposing team, OR somebody we'd have deeply disliked if he'd played against UConn. I know the subject has been discussed, but who else qualifies for serious consideration besides Henefeld, Drummond...

    This needed its own thread

    So two years ago, in the aftermath of a very disappointing loss to New Mexico State, we UConn fans had to decide who we wanted less to lose the National Championship game: Did we want Kansas to lose so that they would not catch up to UConn with 4 NCs, or did we want UNC to lose, so that they...

    Mayonnaise on French Fries??

    You bring to mind fond memories of the summer of 1974. I bought $1.25 bleacher tickets at Fenway Park, and spent 90¢ for plain fries, to which I added pepper and a small hint of salt.

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    Without interest in researching the matter further, I question your own assumptions about the fans or the players. Is your "problem with how many here so easily assume..." that it's too many or too few? I wrote my previous paragraph to reduce your post to absurdity, and did so before looking...

    The case for uconn womens bball, for the men's only fan. (It's not what you think).

    After reading "(It's not what you think)," and having initially quickly read the title as though you meant "Men's " (because there were no capital letters, even for "uconn"), I didn't know what to expect. I remain thankful for the person in this forum who hyped Paige early in her...

    What is the best individual, single-game performance in UConn history?

    TIL I learned what ainec means. I'm generally against such designations, but that doesn't let me off the hook from acknowledging that I remember it top-of-mind that way as well. Kemba in Maui, is next top-of-mind. What united those two in memory was the common recognition blurted our during...

    What is the best individual, single-game performance in UConn history?

    I'd do a 2-for1 trade between those two games, leaving him with 40 pts & 18-20 from the line.

    TJ Power entering the Portal

    It took Sanogo's 22 & 20 game for me to know it was the last weekend of the NBA regular season, and now that even with play-ins more than half the league will still be in the playoffs, I can still keep sitting things out.

    One or Two More?

    I don't participate much in speculative threads...in terms of speculation. I'm weighing to commend you for a well-constructed post, AND for weighing in with you own thoughts as a separate post. I think both have fostered an interesting discussion this far. Thank you

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    I regard @HuskyNan as a maximally prolific and trustworthy Boneyard poster. Go to WBB Forum for clarity on that point. I believe her when she says she's known him for a long time, because she has included portions of his back story that align with my having had passing acquaintance with him...

    New grid is up on X. Does not show Hass, because not yet official. I don't know how to port it over to here. Btw, awesome avatar!

    OT: Luke's Dad's best movie

    Sounds like more than expressing a simple preference for pencil-pushing, but still has me wondering ... Sharpened? Eraser end first? Interesting reveal.

    Borges confirmed: Hass is staying

    Fair enough. As I recall it, I was confirmed about 55 years ago, and my wife was expecting 39 years ago.

    OT: Luke's Dad's best movie

    Post/avatar (Nobody already wrote that?) Was that supposed to have been a question rather than a statement? "Rushmore" was Murray's debut in a Wes Anderson movie I'd tell you to have a Snickers, but maybe better advice would be that those aren't Baby Ruths you've been snacking on. At...

    KO out as Nets coach

    The misunderstanding arose from me having quoted a post by you AND a post by somebody else within the same reply. For that, I apologize. And I only quoted that paragraph for clarity as to what I was referencing. It's not all as though there's any other criticism toward that I'm not...

    Is "expecting" the same as "confirmed?"
