In case you missed it, AJ had a great game for Milwaukee tonight. I forgot they were on and only tuned in part way through the third period and watched to the end. He showcased all the athleticism he showed here and more as he was all over the court getting rebounds and easy shots. Near the end...

I thought everyone might like to see what Nate Carter apparently means to Michigan State this year. Looks like without him they're nothing............... at least on the ground. If the page doesn't align properly and the players' names aren't shown next to the stats, he's the first back listed...

Interesting to see he still shows UConn as preseason #1 for next year even after AS and JH declared for the draft. He mentions he'd have to reconsider it if AJ leaves...

Here's some news to take a break from obsessing about tonight. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Justin Moore has decided to return to Villanova. The article mentions NIL money may have been part of the equation. Randy Foye and Ashley Howard (former assistant who coached Lasalle for four...

Very interesting to me since I know nothing about betting but maybe others will like it too since it's about this Final Four: https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-basketball/2023-ncaa-final-four-odds-bettors-heavily-back-uconn-sportsbooks-need-miami

A number of major schools pursued him but Starling decided on Syracuse because of Autry. Just shows it will pay for us to pursue players we really like even if we suspect they might be looking to go elsewhere. Like with Hopkins, they'll know us and will look to us when they want to transfer...

I posted the link to the UConn Tail Gate registration in another thread but thought I'd start a separate thread to be sure everyone attending is aware of it. Scheduled from Noon to 2 PM at $25 per person for barbeque and other food and beer and wine...

How come we're not hearing anything about Kepnang? He's rated a five star and #19 nationally and #3 for his position by 247 and we are listed as one of his offers. Played with Gaffney and it seems his name has been mentioned quite a bit in the past but nothing lately.

Interesting quote from Hurley. Could be the cover needed by all the usual suspects. Lawyers from LSU, Auburn, Arizona, Western Kentucky and Duke are rumored to have called Hurley for advice. "Hurley acknowledged potential complications in recruiting (such as if schools used sham endorsement...

56 seconds left in the half, UConn ball 40 yards from the opponent's goal line, all 3 time outs remaining, and Randy Edsall thinks: -How do I show my team I have confidence they are improving? -How do we end a poor half on a positive note? -How do we tell our opponent we're playing tough no...

Every school has a signature play. A sweep, some play action pass, etc. but none have developed a play like that which signifies UConn's offense is on the field............hold the ball for 34 of the last 36 seconds of the half when you have two time outs left and a chance to finally put some...

Look what Les Miles has already done. The article on Myers gives details about how bad they're scholarship status is and how little revenue they generated from football last year............$4Million while basketball generated $15.9M. Miles will surely cover his salary and lots more if the BC...

Obi may soon be reinstated if Mr. Brown's alleged actions turn out to be true. The story first and then a great translation of Brown's tweet about his accuser. You have to click on the tweet to read the translation that follows Brown's semi-coherent tweets...

Announcing Saturday, September 14. Still not sure how BCU made the Select Six, especially since one of the staff told me last Fall that we were recruiting him. What could possibly make him include them with the other five and exclude us...

Illinois had three unsportsmanlike calls and other penalties, but I thought they got away with a hold on Ian Swenson on the play where the QB scrambled to his left and threw a TD into the back left corner of the end zone.. Swenson's shirt was held and you can see his body rotate when he broke...

Not positive about this, but he talks about "wanting to be a grinder" and how much energy he puts into the job................... https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-football/hc-sp-wagner-college-terrance-knighton-column-20190822-x74uyduwsncxdabcdqqlletmym-story.html

Reprint of Atlanta Journal Constitution article about some "issues" facing the ACC's launch of their new network. Could be a harbinger of things to come for all the leagues with their own networks if the fans keep leaving cable...

Saw a tall, strong looking, young man wearing UConn basketball shorts at a gate in the Atlanta Airport this afternoon. Turned out to be 6'6" and 220 pound Dillon Jones of South Carolina, who has offers (per 247) from South Carolina, Charlotte, Charleston among others. When I asked if he was a...

My wife and I watched the quarter, semi and final of the 2011 BE Tournament the past three nights to get away from reality and it struck me how quickly we had forgotten how fast and strong and deep our teams once were, how relentless they were on defense and how well they ran the break. The...

Everybody's anxious to hear a big man signed and the anxiety is showing, so here's a little trip down 3 minutes of memory lane for your viewing pleasure. Every time I watch the 2004 team all I can think is "loaded" doesn't do it justice.

Looks as if Kansas may now be out of the market for a shooting guard. https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2019/06/10/kansas-lands-key-grad-transfer-in-iowas-moss/

Miller is said to have been our big man coach and shooting coach............... Former UConn men’s basketball center Amida Brimah, still striving for the NBA, turns to old mentor Glen Miller

A couple thoughts after reading Borges' article on Ntambwe in which he quotes Andre LaFleur. First, if we're recruiting Achiuwa for the SF position, LaFleur makes it sound as if we might be better with Ntambwe. Secondly, if Pikiell's assistant takes the Fairfield job, wouldn't LaFleur be a...

The oral history of the 1999 NCAA Championship-winning UConn men’s basketball team 20 years later Great article. Some quotes: "Calhoun: During my time at UConn, 26 years as the head coach, we had eight McDonald's All-Americans. Just to give you an idea, last year Kentucky had eight, Duke had...

One of America's most beloved attorneys, Michael Avenatti, has been indicted for extortion and the case may expose Nike as another shoe company involved in payoffs. Rumors are flying that NCAA President Mark Emmert has already convened a special blue ribbon task force to investigate and go for...

A couple observations after reading Izzo's comments in the following article: Tom Izzo not happy with NCAA tournament seeding, treatment of Big Ten 1. Izzo complained loudly, possibly rightfully, about his seeding as a 2 vs Duke, but maybe he ought to go after whoever is responsible for their...

2019-19 Storybook ending: -New coach comes in to disastrous situation complete with depleted lineup and losing mentality developed over last three years. -Two season ending injuries, plus best player out for eight games and McDonalds's AA lead guard goes down twice for total of six games. -Team...

From today's Courant if you missed it: Where are they now? A look at UConn basketball players who didn’t stick with the Huskies through college

Article from the Courant. Interesting stats on how many P5 schools have diagnosed cases of CTE. This issue is going to keep gaining attention and demands for action. New Jersey is trying to make the game of football a safer sport. On Wednesday, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic...
