What the hell does that mean. Dick is old and usually just says whatever he knows without caring about repercussions (he has spoiled reveals/,announcements in the past). Is he trying to be a little more delicate and suggesting that Cam is ours while giving the kid his moment? Or is he just parroting a line the coaches told him without any of the context?

I think the people who are down on Spencer need to remember that yes, he’s coming in here to be a starter, but he’s not going to be our primary scoring option. I’m guessing he may be our 4th or 5th scoring option behind Karaban, Clingan, Castle and Newton.

He seems like a perfect fit for what we need, and I trust Hurley to coach up guys on defense. What they did with Joey C is all I need to see to have that confidence. And Spencer is better than Joey C.

Primary Scoring options vary by opponent. He is coming to be the guy who takes advantage of the defense collapsing on DC.

It almost sounds like he's being a little bit critical of us by saying "Uconn better get Cam Spencer because they aren't really after anyone else."

It sounds like UConn is giving it all they got but the player hasn't bitten yet.

Sounds like he knows that we're trying really hard to get this kid

Spencer has been quoted as saying he'll be visiting Storrs.. Works for me.

For sure. I guess I was saying I’d expect either 3 or 4 of Karaban, Castle, Newton, and Clingan to average more points than him.

Regardless, Miami and UCLA are stiff competition in the recruiting world these days. Both programs have attractive location, NIL, and are Final Four contenders. I would be somewhat surprised if he comes here. Proximity to home might be a separating factor if he ends up coming to Storrs.

 

[king conn]

Offering shares of stock as NIL

Maybe we have a hedge fund booster

Spencer > Timberlake

i'll take the guy that was second on his P5 bubble team in pts, assts, and stls

 

[Hunt for 7]

I think our biggest competition here is going to be Miami

Yup

Let’s hope stock means dollars$$ Has to be between us and them. If we can get close we have a chance because he is a perfect fit with our team. Newton, Castle, Spencer, Karaban and Clingan. And we would be deep imagine Ball, Ross, Stewart, Samson, Singar and Diarra that is eleven. This is going to get interesting if Spencer chooses us.

 

[aburks41]

He just completed his visit at Miami per Goodman. Hopefully that means we’re up next?

Miami was a fun story this past season but let's be honest, that's the most noise they're ever going to make. Boeheim's dad is a friendly guy and a solid coach but if the kid wants to be a part of something special he'll choose UConn. This cracked me up...

I wouldn't be surprised if they spent more on Nigel Pack than we spent on our entire roster, lol

Miami paid Pack more than UConn’s whole team made combined. What a moron

There is a 99% chance that they did lol. Miami fans are delusional

They’re stupid to say that but they have paid for back to back elite 8s.

To be fair it was one dude with a single like. All message boards have their share of misfits.

It sounds to me like they are confident that they will get him. Hurley has a good team in place he can afford to be choosy about his offers.

 

[Umami Zen]

If 'fit' is Spencer's priority.. UConn is the place..

 

[AntG168]

Is Spencer still a possibility if a miracle AJax return happens??? It won’t but one can dream
