@CTBasketball If I were you I would definitely reach out to @GemParty and he’ll give you some good recommendations. He is a wealth of knowledge and has a real estate network all over the US (and beyond I think). He will be able to match your wish list with a strong agent in the local areas you...

This is a very quality addition especially this late in the game. Rivals 150 kid and his unranked brother became an absolute stud.

I hope we get both.

If he’s anything like his brother Jaylen, yes please!

I love this hire not just from a recruiting perspective but also player development. He helped develop Porter, Hibbert and Monroe at Georgetown.

Just donated and specified UConn Athletics (men’s basketball)

I can’t say enough good things about Benedict for pulling this off, and I honestly think it will have P5 implications long term. Warde Manuel would’ve been caught ‘monitoring the situation’ instead of doing what it takes to seal the deal.

I have nothing to add just want to be part of Boneyard history

Best of luck to James. I was excited about him when he committed but as the season went on I knew better than getting too attached to KO’s recruits.

If we miss on Hurley I would be very happy with Eric Musselman

1 (one) NCAA tourney win in 12 years as head coach for Cooley. Also one NCAA tourney win in 20 years for PC.

Eric Musselman would be close to the top of my list.

I got insulted when I suggested player retention might be better with KO gone. Anyway, this is very encouraging to see. Give me a core of Adams, Gilbert, Sid and Vital and a couple late recruits with a competent coach and we can come back sooner than people think.

This is very good news. Opportunity for CV to go down a legend and his loyalty will be rewarded by the fans.

That’s a coach taking accountability. Wish we saw even a fraction of that from KO.

It’s comical to me that people still defend our 10 million dollar coach. Just open your eyes. This is arguably the most poorly coached team in America and it’s because Kevin Ollie didn’t put in the work to even be competent forget about great.

I don’t take pleasure in watching anyone squander a golden opportunity, especially due to lack of effort but that’s exactly what KO did. I was done with KO the second I read the interview where Calhoun was quoted saying he wishes he was more involved in the program.

Actually you can’t win in the conference with Kevin Ollie. In fact you can’t even come close as KO has proven for 5 straight years.

We are under NCAA investigation.

I for one am extremely nervous about UConn being under investigation, and the cloud hanging over our head for much longer due to these others cases.

They acknowledge the fact that Ollie is owed 10 plus million and then Goodman goes on to say he’s heard that UConn still wants/intends to buy him out. Predicts that Danny Hurley will be our coach, with Frank Martin and Bruce Pearl as wildcards.

Aren’t we currently under NCAA investigation? Hard for me to enjoy this too much

Make no mistake, Matthews and Akinjo are aware of the NCAA’s inquiry into the program. “We talked about the investigation,” said Alwert. “We’ve been told that nothing’s gonna happen on that. (Matthews) is a kid that’s faithful and loyal to the decision he makes.” I sure hope this is right and...

I think Cincy is fairly seeded

Worst timing ever per usual with UConn. If Ollie leaves this program with sanctions or the investigation still looming this job just got a hell of a lot less appealing. It’s hard to put into words how much damage he’s done to the program the past 4 years.

Danny Hurley is my first choice but we could do a lot worse than Tom Crean. He also recruits the northeast very well.

The lack of player development under this coaching staff is glaring. Although all three are a bit soft they definitely have upside, and unfortunately they didn’t feel they could get better at UConn. Can you really blame any player that’s not a guard for not wanting to play under Ollie’s patented...

There’s just no accountability with Kevin and that’s what bothers me most. Instead of owning the dismal state of the program and laying out his plans to get it back on track he continues to point blame, this time at fans. He is grossly incompetent as a head coach and will cost us a lot more than...

The fact that the Ollie apologist crowd is worried about losing incoming recruits and players is comical. You do realize that Ollie added 8 new players to the current team (more than 60% of the roster) and most were thrown together last minute, right?

Ollie is a total mental midget when it comes to social media. It would be nice if he spent his Twitter time on something important, like devising his first inbounds play in 6 years.

He blocked me during the 2016 season

Karl Hobbs had also had enough of KO.

KO had a terrific coaching staff his first two years and now he’s surrounded himself with a bunch of yes men that provide little to nothing in terms of x’s and o’s.

Ollie is a disaster. We’ll average 5k attendance next year with him.

I see KO has made adjustments to our 3 point defense
