    2024 Recruiting: Tarris Reed Jr.

    In the era of NIL there has to be negotiations like there would be in professional free agency. It’s likely that the player and school are finalizing details before announcing an official commitment.

    2024 Recruiting: Tarris Reed Jr.

    Also, the staff has a good understanding of which current players are staying vs going and the fans don't, so the portal pickups won't always make perfect sense to the fans at this point in the off-season.

    Kimani and Luke Returning

    Almost all mid-major head coaches have base salaries under $1 million and most make less than $500k base. It shouldn't be an issue to pay our assistants what the average mid major head coach makes and have similar financial incentives for making a final 4 or winning a championship.

    2024 Recruiting: Nowell - 24/7 Rankings

    The good news is that there are 13 scholarships available and there are only 12 players/ open slots listed in that group. So there is room to bring in 2 transfers who will battle for starting spots and 1 that will be a role player. The only returning player that would command any sort of...

    OT: Bryce Hopkins

    Certain injuries have increased recently because players are larger and more explosive than in the past. A lot of it is due to players developing more muscle and explosive power through weight training techniques that have been refined in recent years and applied to athletes in team sports...

    NFL going more international.

    I've lived in Sao Paulo and one time I went to a small bar with less than 20 people and there were 3 people wearing Patriots gear and none of them were together and it wasn't a patriots game. Tom Brady's connection with Brazil has something to do with it for sure. Some NFL games are...

    Mora is right

    Correct. To survive as a program UConn needs to implement a very aggressive style of play on both offense and defense. We need to have a fun system to play in that leads to very good stats for the best players. This may mean committing more turnovers on offense and giving up more big plays on...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Oregon and Washington will only join the Big 12 now in a scenario where the Pac 12 lost so many schools that the conference loses their power 5 label and the auto bid to the new college football playoff. In theory, if the Pac loses good football teams, but keeps the autobid, then that could...

    Colorado in Big XII

    It's illogical to invite 4 PAC schools and pass on UConn unless 2 of those 4 schools are Oregon and Washington. And it's unlikely that Oregon and Washington leave right now.

    Big 12 Pushing For UConn Part Deux!

    All of this is speculation. The people with decision making power aren't going to blab to random people (especially journalists) about what they actually think. That being said, most likely UConn is seen as a good addition by presidents of Big 12 schools because the presidents care about...

    2025 Recruiting: Cooper Flagg

    Rumor is that he will reclassify to 2024.

    OT feedback on college sports site

    I'm a UConn alumni and I have been reading the Boneyard for over 10 years. I'm involved in a college sports site centered around game replays, video archives, and highlight clips. It's an easy way to create highlight clips from games and share on social media. A highlight clip is called a...

    OT: Learning a foreign language

    For a more advanced person that is good, but a beginner will have difficultly identiting which words the person is saying in the foreign language. Also grammatical structure can vary between languages. So reading the foreign language subtitles is better to teach a beginner about the grammatical...

    OT: Learning a foreign language

    Good answers so far. Doulingo is a good base. Practice pronunciation before anything else. Watch a movie in English with foreign subtitles I think has helped me the most.
