Sat. Jan 7 -- The Decision

[UConNation]

Well... this type of announcement hasn't typically worked well for us.
I'll still cross my fingers though.

 

[JMick]

Thank God it will finally be over

 

[sportsart]

Announcing where?

 

[Rocktheworld]

Thank God it will finally be over

But not before one more massive s---storm

I think this is a really good indication that he is leaning towards UConn. He is announcing from the city and has NYC as his background this shows that he wants to represent his home town (more like city) and that loyalty is important to him. This bodes well for UConn coaching staff as KO has been after him the longest and UConn is NYC's home team.

Secondly there was news that even up until today Hamidou was working on setting up a visit to Arizona for this weekend. The fact that he has set up a commitment date means he already knows which school he's going to commit to, and the fact that he was working on the logistics to visit Arizona shows he was taking some visits out of respect for the coaching staffs of other schools recruiting him and for the fun of it.

For all of the hard work and time that UConn has put in Hamidou I doubt one visit to UK can override what KO and staff (and current players) has built with Hamidou.

Also when reading some of the responses to Hamidous tweet on twitter, I was lmao to the lone cuse fan who thinks the orange have a shot with Hamidou. Facts just have very little value in Syracuse I guess.

I like your optimism. I recommend UCONN fans purchasing mass quantities of alcohol.

At 5 I'll be on my way to Coyote Blue in Middletown. Hopefully raising a marg in Hami's general direction.

Or downing the 1st and yelling "NEXT"!!

Over/under 7 pages in the next 3 days?

Hard to argue with Turd Bro Dude... All but confirma he's going IU in my mind.

 

[uconnever]

I still think Uconn

Honestly. My mind would be made up.

 

[jleves]

The way the year has gone, probably not UConn. But if he's just anywhere for half a season and then to the NBA, I don't care. He wouldn't make us a championship contender and probably not even a tourney contender. If he intends to stay next year, then sure I'm all in. But otherwise - meh.

 

[Hi-Low]

KY has a game Saturday, UConn is off....maybe so KO can be present?

I can't believe I'm falling for this.....boy am I stupid.

 

[ARIDE]

KU..on a plane next day

You're cutoff at 2

Just like when Knicks fans, myself included, were convinced that Lebron announcing his decision from Greenwich was a geographical positive.....

 

[Mots010]

Would have been better if he used the 1950's Uconn logo.

 

[Huskyforlife]

We're not out until Oz says we're out, don't give up hope.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Anyone else not really care anymore? Maybe it's just that mega thread that has me jaded.

 

[huskymagic]

Him packing his bags and not announcing from PSA the school where he blew up that happens to be based in Connecticut the school recruiting him the hardest and going back home to announce... Don't like the look of that HAMI. Why is UCONN husky logo at bottom right corner in the announcement. DOOMED

At this point I'll be amazed if I remember to check the board on Saturday. Just pull the trigger and be done with it. This season is going to be brutal no matter what, and next year will hopefully be better whether he comes here or not.

Real things that truly matter right here.

PS HAMI PLEASE COMMIT BRING HAMMER TIME BACK TO STORRS

 

[selles]

Thank God it will finally be over

Honestly have no idea whether Hami will come here or not, and not sure I care at this point. BUT - you have to respect his PR talent.

If the basketball thing doesn't work out, we should hire him as AD. He'll have the ACC and B1G on pins and needles as they await our announcement about which one we'll commit to.
