We keep running a weave at the top of the key doing nothing with it. Looking like trash. We’re letting the Hall to get to the paint at ease

I don’t know why so many are confident based on what we saw last night that we would beat Kansas on a neutral court. We were a Tristen Newton away from being blown out. We lack foot speed and athleticism. Spencer, Karaban, and Clingan struggle against elite athletes. Kansas swarmed us on...

Tristen Newton is our best player, that is abundantly clear. He is the only one who played well. That was mistake by Hurley to have Cam take that potential game winning 3 at the end. Newton had the hot hand and it should have been Newton to take that shot. Spencer, Karaban, and Clingan...

Solo Ball right now is a more athletic Hassan Diarra. Only starting because Castle is injured and we don't have someone better. The threes he had were wide open. Newton would have had another triple double if not for the bad shooting from the perimeter today. Not worried about Alex Karaban...

Alex Karaban showing up on NBA mock draft at 32nd pick of 2024 draft. https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/?year-mock=2024 Clingan down to 34th pick

Clingan has been a disappointment as others have said: he looks slow, unathletic, and having difficulty rebounding butterfingers on plays against smaller players. He had no impact on the game. For a guy that's projected to be a lottery pick, he is not looking the part. The team looks better with...

Jakhi Howard is an elite talent. He's underrated should be a 5 star recruit instead of mid 4 star. Isaiah Abraham is good talent as well. I like Abraham better than Betsy.

We have no choice but to accept a Big 12 invite if they want us. You can’t turn down that kind of money even though sentimentally we like the Big East conference.

This is the kid we should focus and put the press on for 2023 recruiting for wing players. He would be a great addition next to Castle. Cooper is an explosive athlete with skills and toughness. A perfect AJacks replacement. Kaden Cooper has my seal of approval. #WinForCooper

Like I said before, Gavin was Little Ten bound and UCONN was playing from behind. Also, the people here rooting for Rutgers to do well in basketball lol. The work that Pikiell has done there is remarkable. Speaking of regional rivals, Rutgers with Pikiell has the potential to affect us in...

The point guards coming into college nowadays are bums. We had a big miss in recruiting my guy JJ Starling. Notre Dame got a great point guard there. I miss the 90s and 2000s where we were fortunate to see some great players coming into college. It would be good for AJacks to be the main...

Marcus Smart was a 5 star, top 10 player out of high school and a McDonald’s All American.

I get it, but the problem is that the rules for this format give us some boring and uninteresting matchups. UCONN needs some better games in this Big 12/Big East challenge regardless of home and aways from previous years.

Boring matchup. If they were set on giving us a mid-tier team from the Big 12, they should of gave us TCU. At least we would have gone up against Jamie Dixon led team again. Better for TV and for the fans.

It’s Providence: nobody cares. UCONN can’t experience devolution by making Providence level programs our rival. There’s nothing there. We need to make sure especially with Jay Wright leaving that we go back to our traditional roots as much as possible. You don’t abandon great rivalries to...

The side effects of NIL and mercenary transfer portal are being felt among a minority of UCONN fans. Providence can never be a real rival. This narrative is being pushed by desperate Providence fans, and foolhardy UCONN fans who want us to deny our great history with our real rivals: Syracuse...

If we consider what we lost to graduation/transfers, the new additions are at best equal in value. Nothing that surpasses them. Next year’s success will depend on AJacks, Hawks, and Sanogo.

Syracuse and Pitt are true rivals. Games against those 2 whether home or away were always rocking and crazy good atmosphere. We were always competing with them in meaningful games that were relevant in the Big East and nationally. It’s the same for Cuse and Pitt with us. Part of their declines...

Come on man, URI. Providence is not a rival, but URI is and will always be a meaningless game worse than any game with Providence. Going by your logic, that must mean Northeastern is more of a rival than other schools because Calhoun came from there. Providence and URI are each others rival...

The forcing of this UCONN-Providence rivalry narrative is funny. Nova is our main rival in the Big East, everyone else is everyone else. Creighton has more of a chance at being a temporary rival than Providence. We need to reestablish yearly out-of-conference games with our main rival...

We don’t really play 4 out offense. Hurley aspires and talks about it, but we haven’t really done much because our personnel has been filled with athletic nonshooters for the most part or guards who can’t shoot for the most part or drive as well as you need them to create open shots. We have...

I would estimate that Michigan, Rutgers, Iowa, Providence, and Baylor are ahead of us in recruiting for Gavin right now in the process. Our playstyle is a big part why we don't lead for Griffiths. It's got nothing to do with Hurley not recruiting him hard enough. UCONN is one of the schools that...

Here is a matchup between JP Estrella vs Ugonna Kingsley. This is an indicator of why JP Estrella's stock is rising. It's surprising how he is not even a top 100 recruit in rankings anywhere. Estrella is a very good big man. Ugonna is a prototypical athletic big man athletic shot blocker that...

It does not look like we are leading for Gavin Griffiths. He is a great shooter and a top 40 overall recruit. We can use his skills at UCONN. This is what separates great recruiters from good recruiters. Hurley for now is a good recruiter. He cannot land one 5 star guy. Scotty Middleton who we...

1999 had two: Khalid El-Amin and Richard Hamilton 2004 had two: Charlie Villanueva and Taliek Brown. This is in addition to numerous NBA players on that roster. 2011 had two: Kemba Walker and Alex Oriakhi 2014 is the only outlier with no McD's: Even that team had a consensus 5 star recruit in...

We absolutely need to land a 5 star/McDonalds All American elite player. For a program of UCONNs stature not to get at least 1 elite ranked recruit every 2-3 years is not good. Hurley needs to break through. People pointing at Kansas as a model of winning with lesser ranked talent should know...

Like I said with the new corrupt NIL era, the SEC is favored and has been catapulted into becoming the number 1 conference for elite recruits and coaches. Hurley needs to do better. We cant even land one 5 star recruit. Need that in order to win a title. You need NBA level talent to win at...

Syracuse easily number 1 rival Nova is 2nd due to their dominant success lately and Big East Pitt is number 3 historically. If they had remained in the Big East and Jamie Dixon was still their coach, Pitt would probably be ahead of Nova. Our problem is that 2 of our main rivals left for...

The Big East conference in the new corrupt NIL era, and mercenary portal is going to be in trouble keeping up nationally with the Power 5 conferences. Jay Wright retiring abruptly does not help the conference. The Big East will be relegated to slightly below PAC-12 level in the near future with...

Rudi going from coast to coast. He's a good player, too bad that he is looking elsewhere, we could use him. I like Rudi's game and talent more than Alleyne.

NIL and free transfer mercenary portal has catapulted the SEC in college basketball in a great position moving forward in college basketball. The Big East now especially with the retirement of Jay Wright is in trouble. We will be relegated to below the the PAC-12 level in basketball. Big East...

Very bad news for Nova and the Big East conference as a whole. This is the effect of the mercenary portal and NIL on college basketball. This makes it easier for UCONN to dominate the Big East conference. With Jay Wright gone, the Big East is now relegated to PAC-12 level in the best...

I like Rudi Williams game and ability. He reminds me of Terry Rozier lite. He can handle the rock, has very good athleticism, speed, can drive to the basket with good fluidity, and great mechanics on his shot. I favor Rudi's game over Nahiem Alleyne. Rudi has my seal of approval. We should...

Proves what I said that Akok is the only one of our transfers that would have been a useful player for next year. Huggins going out of his way to get Akok. Quite the statement there for a coach of Huggins stature to personally visit a UCONN transfer who everybody in Storrs thinks is no good.

None of the transfers are massive losses in the grand scheme of things. However, out of all the transfers Akok is really the only loss that would have made a difference in the upcoming year. Akok isn't as bad as he looked this year. He's capable of hitting perimeter shots, run the floor, and...
