Bronny is actually what we need

[Husk1esB2B]

Let’s be honest, in terms of program success, especially the past 25 years, we are the best by a big margin. Men and women both the best In country. What an achievement.

But, we don’t have that much advertisement or attention compare to programs like duke, UK, unc, etc. I know people say it’s bs and natty is all we care, but I think bit different. Yes titles matter but if we can’t ‘monetize’ it that would be really sad. Imagine this, now we obviously get attention and that’s fading away. Next year if duke get one with cooper, what that will look like? People will forget UConn fast

I think media action is part of the play, and that’s why I think Bronny will contribute the most. It’s the sad truth for bronny and I feel like a bad guy saying it. Plus, I do think he is a good kid, putting effort pursuing basketball dream. If I got a rich dad I probably wouldn’t even worry about anything. He actually picked a hard path cuz it’s easy for people to criticize him as he will be compared with his father, and people naturally think he is not worthy. I fully respect his effort and courage. And I love to see he come over and become better

Do we let Bronny dribble the ball out at the end of games instead of Andrew Hurley?

I could see Bronny filling that role next year

 

[UofCT]

I would be excited for that Lebron NIL support.

 

[willie99]

I want what Dan wants. I'm a real simpleton, don't think too much

 

[uh-no]

yeah. hurley is all about having distractions on the team.

 

[Jaydumo20]

This is a good point in theory. Many schools might think this way. But DH doesn't chase things like that.
It's like a singer where the label says "if you sing this song you didn't write you'll have a huge hit with millions more dollars"
But the singer refuses because the song is just not them

One of the core ingredients of this team’s success over the last few seasons has been selflessness. By all accounts Bronny is a good kid who has been trying to do things the right way and be a team guy versus coasting on having been born on third base. However, what happens to locker room unity and that spirit of selflessness when 90+% of interview requests are for a kid who has achieved nothing other than hitting the genetic lottery?

I don’t think Hurley wants to find out with history on the line.

 

[Leebo]

Time to hang up your keyboard for a bit. We'll see you in the fall.

 

[Drame]

I like the idea in theory and if any coach could handle that, esp with Lebron, its Dan Hurley.

 

[Scoe]

Here’s my prediction. Bronny is gonna enter the draft go undrafted sign a 2 way deal with the Lakers and Lebron will have a farewell tour.

 

[huskeynut]

I don't think so!!!!

UConn doesn't need that distraction.

 

[UCFan1513]

 

[TheHorde]

I would like to keep winning titles and build a new generation of recruits that now views UConn as their “dream school”.

 

[Palatine]

You have it backwards. UConn is what Bronny needs.

Doubt the family will figure that out.

 

[Jbirdp5]

It’s like you’ve never listened to Hurley talk about culture being the most important thing. If he grabs a guy because it helps NIL and exposure you are putting something not basketball related ahead of the team.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Tough to say, but he's been in the portal for a while and no news about interest from our side. So im thinking DH disagrees

i actually don't hate this take

Too many edibles dude. Slow down.

 

[UC0NN]

Bronny brings a lot of distractions due to his name. He is a good kid it seems. He plays good defense and has 3 point ability. Right now, he seems more like a Jason Gaffney ceiling

Uconn has never gotten the attention it deserves in the past 25 years. We don't get nearly the # of 5 star players that Duke etc gets. We just win rings, that is all. We are finally getting massive media respect. But it took back 2 back historic seasons to achieve this. All fine with me. But I understand your point. Other point is Bronny would get 0 playing time last year or next year. But he will develop., just not right now.

 

[Sphinx]

i actually don't hate this take.

The "take" that a university should recruit an athlete for the notoriety, the idea being to monetize the notoriety, seemed at first a bit curious to me. But I consulted Cardinal Newman's "Idea of a University" and , whaddya know, there it was.

 

[Chief00]

I would be excited for that Lebron NIL support.

Do t hold your breath for that.

Among other things, Bronny really needs minutes. Where's he getting minutes at UConn? It's a truly horrendous fit for both him and us.
