Let’s get Bouk, Cole, Springs and Akok on that list. We don’t want any academic problems next year.

Great job by these guys. I’m especially happy to see Sid on there. He’s getting it done in more ways than one after a slow start. For some reason, I’m always pulling for Sid.

I think I heard/saw Adams is on pace to graduate in 3 years I believe it was mentioned during one of the broadcasts.

I had the same reaction about Sid. For a young man who has been through so much its fantastic to see him getting it done on the court and in the classroom.

Great job, Tyler Polley, Temi Ayegbusi, Jalen Gaffney, Brendan Adams, Matt Gary, Sidney Wilson and Mamadou Diarra.

It's not easy to be a high level student or a high level athlete. It's something to take pride in when you put in the work to achieve both consecutively. Stay the course and you will all do great things in life.

DJ 2.0 you need to romance your thread titles a little. I'm ashamed to admit I read yours and immediately started thinking to myself if there are men out there with an extra pea in the pod.

No easy task - esp with all the athletic commitments he has.

Grab a Snicker's, CT. Nothing wrong with what BNich posted.

I should have considered the feeling of the players with a < 3.0 GPA too now that I think about it. Can a mod delete?

Alterique Gilbert also?

He is on pace to graduate this spring, and was one of several Huskies recognized at halftime for good grades in the fall semester.

Alterique Gilbert, Sid Wilson sit out UConn men’s win over Temple

Alterique Gilbert sat out the UConn men’s game against Temple on Wednesday night due to “personal reasons,” the school announced four hours before the game. Sid Wilson also missed…

My bad. I see where you're head was at now. I apologize and great question. I deleted my rude response to your OP.

 

[LIuconn]

Im rooting for him. Just curious if he walked onto the court to accept the honor (they used to do that when I was in school there)

Al did not attend the halftime ceremony. Will edit my OP

I think it speaks to an individuals ambition on and off the court. I did some reading about Brendan in HS, he was one heck of a scorer. We've seen his body mature and fill out some this year, he's a good defender and had a good offensive game on Wednesday.He's going to be a great 4 year player here.

Public data and something to be celebrated.

Not to mention, someone said they were recognized during half-time of the Temple game.
