Yup - he's staying on as a Graduate Assistant and apparently, guys have said he's really, really, really good at the coaching thing and it wasn't a little window dressing. Like he'll have himself a really nice coaching career. It's like having the worst possible thing happen to you and the...

Totally - and now and then I’ll make exceptions; but I’m fairly conservative when it comes to common stock, or at least as I pick who I’m gonna buy. I make big, big bets on stocks but I’m insanely picky about what I buy.

Yes and no. I think it's a great buyer's market so long as you're really good at just sticking to really, really basic, fundamental investing strategies. It's not the time to take a on a lot of risk - but it's def. time to pick up long-term growth stocks that are underperforming. Low...

Yeah I agree w/ most of this. I don't get people that think this was going to end before June. Every chart everywhere had us ramping back up around early to mid June, and that seemed optimistic to me. And i'm a pretty hard-line supporter of us doing this as long as it's sustainable. But I do...

My big gains have been in mobile gaming. GLUU and ZNGA have been very, very good to me and they're super cheap stocks you can pile on now. I'm mostly a dividend guy right now. Best investment you can possibly make is erasing any debt you can and trading slow growth. I'm in a boatload of High...

The problem with that is obviously that no one wants to be in the AAC whereas the Big East was a pretty solid band of evangelicals for at least a little while. The second thing is, they are *in* good markets, but they don't *have* any of them really. It's mostly all B and C level acts to...

That's my thing. And it's not just big bodies, but guys who are elite level rebounders. We've had some shooters the last 5-6 years who've had no margin for error. Now we'll have better shooters with a much larger room for error.

I wouldn't put more to the Seton Hall thing other than it being a 'bird in hand' kind of thing. If they can get a comparable guy 100% for sure, they should do it. If they get Sanogo, good on them, too. But I wouldn't read too much into that. If they do get Anslem, we're probably best positioned...

From what I hear: -It's not 100% he reclassifies still. Big boys are starting to take notice. -Nebraska is out. Loves the coach, loves the system, would fit, hates the idea of Nebraska (shocking, I know) -Loves Seton Hall. -He's interested in Maryland, not sure where he fits. -Knows he's a...

I like Sanogo better than I like him for the purposes of fit right now, but I'd take him if he wanted to commit first.

Etienne might be a little bit of a project. Sanogo could start right off the bat, I think.

Well i mean he's coming. But he's the first Hurley guy i'm super no into. He's a stylistic finisher at the rim, blows a lot of bunnies and makes some incomprehensibly stupid passes offensively. He's got the vision of a mole. Nose for loose ball rebounds. Can shoot. Long story, short - we should...

Sid’s got pro level tools but it hasn’t come together for him. He needs to play to develop heading forward and no matter what his tools are, that’s not happening at a high major because those tools haven’t turned into ability. And frankly - you can’t be a low motor guy in practice and expect...

It'll be Georgetown, Villanova and Providence. Georgetown is on a similar trajectory to us, so we'll bump up against them. Villanova for obvious reasons. Providence just because of the regional significance. They're just incredibly annoying. The Xavier fans are really fun and I think that'll...

I know i'm never going to shake it. But guys for the millionth time, I'm 100% not . I'm starting to wish I was.

He's an animal. Suffocating defender and a higher motor than almost anyone we've had in 10 years. I didn't say better; but insanely high energy. Takes care of the ball. Not the most efficient shooter, but here - he won't have to be. We'll have tons of weapons.

We're in a conference with Wichita State and you're worried about our sense of institutional superiority over... Creighton?

We're making more money. We're saving more money. We're broadening our overall exposure by a lot. We're leaving a conference that we're poor fit for in exchange for our cultural home. Anyone making the argument that we should be clinging to life in the AAC on the .00000002% chance we get a P5...

I meant during this stretch of games. He's been a life saver.

I'll eat a lot of crap on Whaley - and do so enthusiastically. I didn't see anything that made me nuts about him in any way, shape or form and I was definitely one of those 'I wonder if things would be better off for him at another program' people. Heading into the season - he was the one guy...

I mean it's kind of a fungible conversation. Would certain guys be this good without the injuries? For sure - no. Could we have been better had we not been so snake bitten? Yeah, probably. At the end of the day with the injuries we're waaaaay too short handed and our margin for error is...

Well we need to improve up front quite a bit and we need to replace Vital's production somehow. I think Springs and Javonte Brown Ferguson give us a lot of physicality and length and frankly - depth up front - that we haven't had in forever. Whaley being this much better is like a blessing from the gods, but i'm...

I mean he COULD compete in the G-League for sure if he thinks that's the route he should take, but I just feel like he's leaving a boatload of cash on the table not taking one more year in college. Clearly gifted offensively, but defensively I think he's kinda mediocre. That aspect of his game...

Carlton - of all the players we regularly use - might be our actual, worst player. I'm not even sure it's close. His ORtg is in the toilet.

He won't go in the first round next year. There's risk and teams draft on potential, but they don't pay for that potential until they have to. I think he's better off waiting one more year.

He's probably my favorite player on the team. Just in the sense that he doesn't have the raw ability other guys do - but he's always kept his head down, put in the work and then some and gets every single drop of ability he possibly can out of himself. He's got a high motor to boot. There's...

People are late for a whole range of reasons - from you know, their lives to security taking forever... I'll never understand though - why getting a 5 min. jump on traffic is more important than hanging around for the experience of taking in the last few moments of a really big game. I got to...

I think our chances of going deep in the AAC tournament were pretty well smooshed with Akok going down. We just don't have the bodies to play four straight days of basketball, I don't think; and that's not knocking the kids - we just play HARD as a team. Us playing a fresh Tulsa or SMU in...

Even with Akok down - I think we go 5-1 down the stretch here. What's more interesting is everyone else's schedules: Wichita has: USF @Cincy Temple @SMU @Memphis Tulsa Memphis has: ECU Houston @SMU @TUlane Wichita @ Houston SMU has: @Tulane @Tulsa Memphis Wichita @UCF Tulsa has: @Houston...

Yeah I guess I don't get the whole 'it'll never be like it was' argument because, well - nothing is, really. Taking things from a squarely UConn-centric point of view, we only lose one or two rivals from the original conference (Pitt and Syracuse) and one or both of those could potentially be...

There's tons of places to go out around the arena. I was at Artichoke's tonight and it was sensational.

Not trying to really shed any positive light on Akok's injury, but if I'm a recruit and I see how much that coach cares about his players the way Hurley showed how much he cared today in front of everyone... that's a guy who I know is walking the walk.

Some wild stuff in here. Carlton just isn't and shouldn't be considered a focal point on offense for us anymore and if he is - we're in way worse trouble than we think. He's going to have to adjust to the style here and frankly, i'm not sure he will. Good kid, but he's not a fit here in this...

If there was anything we knew about this team heading in - and that was seemingly regardless of whether said person thought the glass was half full or empty... the one thing the whole Boneyard seemed to agree on heading into this season was..... that our front court was a massive issue. If...

We just looked cooked. Plane trip certainly didn't help but we were just gross on defense, lethargic... It was an outlier performance...even in our worst offensive performances, we're great defensively. I haven't seen this bad version of us yet lol - is what i'm saying. These are gonna happen.
