Vandy and Georgia aren't our only competition.

First night is 10/18 not this weekendWait I thought he didn't visit last weekend in order to come to First Night maybe I didn't read enough huh/ So he's now at UT and won't be here again this weekend? Ouch this isn't going the way some thought or at least it would seem that way.
Patience LOL
He's that wiry/like big like Hylton Armstrong, but has some Edmund Saunders in him, plays well off the ball around the rim.. Not a scorer (that's not what UConn does with their bigs) but can give you some energy building putbacks, dunks, rebounds.. and he's hyper... Me likes...His best fit is here up in Storrs CT...

If Rick Barnes wants him then he will probably get him. Barnes and Tennessee are on a roll. This is not good news.If Rick Barnes wants him, then I want him!
Rick Barnes has one of the best eyes for talent I’ve ever seen. Last year’s 32 win Tennesse team was entirely comprised of 3 star recruits outside of the top 150 in their class.If Rick Barnes wants him, then I want him!
He was always planning on visiting Tennessee and they offered him before we did.It's still somewhat troubling that a visit to Barnesland comes out of the blue.
He has also already visited TennesseeHe was always planning on visiting Tennessee and they offered him before we did.

well saidThis is true, he is an excellent evaluator of high school talent - but also equally as true is the fact that he is, at best, an average game coach. Calhoun outcoached him pretty much every time he went up against him.
The one Final 4 he got to went through us (in 2003; we played them in the Sweet 16), and ONLY because they got to play us in their back yard in the Alamo Dome in San Antonio. That Texas team had significantly more talent, but we outplayed them most of that game. It came down to a late ref call that went their way, and they won by 4.
Of course, little did we all know that our loss in that 2003 game in San Antonio would prove to be an impetus to help propel us to the 2004 Final 4, and Championship #2, played in that same venue.
Just another reminder of how great Jim Calhoun truly was during his tenure as our head coach. Not only was he a superlative projector of high school talent into top college players, but he also outcoached most opposing coaches in-game, as well. Even some of the best, including Coach K, as most of us know and savor every time we think about it and/or talk about it.

Texas was a #1 seed with a little more experience than us but I certainly wouldn't say they were more talented than us. We had Okafor and Gordon.This is true, he is an excellent evaluator of high school talent - but also equally as true is the fact that he is, at best, an average game coach.

Was it a call? I remember losing because a short shot got stuck between the rim and the backboard, and that acted as a turnover.

Marcus White with the stuck shot.
