    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

    A few weeks ago my 8 year old daughter overhead me taking about Andrea’s interview with Field of 68 and how much I loved her. She complained to MrsRI immediately. Her response? Don’t worry, momma loves Andrea Hurley too.

    Borges confirmed: Hass is staying

    Can Haas keep up the same defensive intensity for 30 minutes that he did for 20? I think probably yes but that’s gotta be a real question just from a physical limit and psychological point of view.

    Yes, poster said that, but him saying he was joking was actually a joke too. His mom is following Jonathan XV, and he followed her back. A very good sign. I think they are friends now on MySpace too. This seems like a done deal now.

    I’m at the Capital Grille now. No sign of Liam yet. Waiters are getting pissed though that me and MrsRI refuse to put the menu down.

    A lot of it is meant to be tongue in cheek, a bit of inside joke sarcasm.

    Do we have a BY’er spy on the ground, in a tree, or behind a shrub at Storrs already? Usually this is a given for a visit like this. If not I can get on this ASAP…..

    Cam Spencer named first-team Academic All-American

    My favorite line from one of the A Dime Back podcasts a few weeks ago was about Spencer. The Hurleys all sitting around for dinner table and Danny turns to Andrew and says “Why can’t you be more like your older brother Cam?” Absolutely incredible the ride that Cam has had the last 2 years...

    UConn freshman Stephon Castle expected to soon declare for NBA Draft: 'What a lottery pick looks like'

    NBADraftRoom has Castle going at 5 to the Hornets. What kind of sick world? Honestly, if him or Clingan gets told they are are going to Charlotte I honestly think they’d be better off coming back for another year. There should be some type of waiver where if Charlotte says they will...

    Transfer portal getting nuts

    It goes both ways. See Diggins. Instead of not playing here it’s a top 60 recruit starting at UMass. Maybe it doesn’t totally even but I don’t think it’s a huge net gain at the top middle or bottom conferences. It evens itself out overall. Plus all you need is one rich guy at a small school...

    Don’t sleep on PeeCee. Providence has as good of a chance as anyone for this kid. Watch out!

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

    Based on the last few years the difference between our 6th man and a starter is minimal. And our backup center will get 15 minutes. It’s 8-9 where the difference between 5 and 15 minutes is whether Hurley trusts them.

    Johnny Dawkins - The anti-Hurley?

    Careful. You are starting to cross a red line with a comment like that.

    Am I alone? Is my wife right?

    MrsRI doesn’t really like sports. Doesn’t watch anything else. But she lives breathes and dies with UConn. She pretty much refers to Clingan and Alex as her kids (we are old enough now where 100 percent plausible besides the height).

    Am I alone? Is my wife right?

    Been married since 2006 (first and only) though I was deployed the first 18 months of it. 17 years and going strong. Moved back to CT/RI in late 08 but worked 2nd shift for a few years. 2010-2011 first year we could really spend together (for UConn sake). Worked out well. UConn basketball...

    Am I alone? Is my wife right?

    I got my new wife (at the time) hooked on UConn basketball in 2011. She is close now to as die hard of a fan as me. I know some of you might not think that’s a good thing, but it truly is awesome. I think the key isn’t to fight it but figure out how to bring her along for the ride.

    Alabama Post Game Thread

    Not ignoring it. To win a title you might be right, but I still think Johnson will be much better than just a middling big, he will be a high level starter. I have a bit lower expectations for next year though than expecting us to be a top 3 team. But if shows some growth, Johnson is 100...

    Alabama Post Game Thread

    Slamson can be a starter for us. This is really his first year of playing (ie game time) college ball. Think of the growth last year to this year. If anything close to the same size jump next year he is much better than just a serviceable center (ie Tyler or Phil).
