Be nice. Some schools have lower standards.

Much lower standards.

Be nice, the old man needs his naps. I hope Hurley is telling recruits that this guy is VERY old, has a history of health problems and could need to retire at any moment. That's what people did to Calhoun.

And Xavier isn’t a Blueblood. Neither are Louisville or Syracuse.

UCONN - 5 FF’s, 4 NC’s, 7 OBE Tourney titles 1 AAC, 10 OBE regular season titles, 13 lottery picks 33 NBA players (Calhoun Era)

Cuse- 6 FF’s, 1 NC, 5 OBE Tourney titles (2 “vacated”), 10 OBE regularly season titles, 41 NBA players (started from Boheim took over) 12 lottery picks(?)

Did I get any numbers wrong? Doing this quickly through mobile

Yes, Syracuse also has a helms or two and two TBT's final fours. I know it doesn't mean much to most of the nation, but its important to them.

I'd guess he isn't. Hurley is too busy selling UConn's history and tradition of sending people to NBA who actually go on to be successful, and of course his own no nonsense tell it like it is coaching style.

I doubt he uses negative recruiting against Cuse. Let sleeping pickers lie, right?

 

[superjohn]

BY-Picking on Cuse? We’re not picking on cuse...
what about you, Jim? You picking on cuse?

Jim - no, not cuse...

I always respected his nose picking game. He fully commits every time he's pickin' boogs.

If he used his 5 fingers on his left hand to set up a 2-3 zone in front of his snout his right index finger would never get to the hole.

"Yikes they said "1 fluke Final Four from being really pessimistic about their program" - where to even start with how wrong that statement is. How about this? They talk about a fluke Final Four but are obviously ignoring 2011 and 2014. Those 2 were the definition of fluke. Then saying we got lucky to get there because MSU lost? (who we beat last year anyway) But they had to beat Butler in 2011 and Georgia Tech in 2004 to win those...

As an aside - I went to the UConn/Cincinnati football game yesterday - some guy had a UConn shirt on and on the back said "UConn 4 Syracuse 1" - they have such a weird obsession with us"

They currently have a 30 page thread about us....

Edit: Those THREE Final Fours that poster mentioned are THREE NC's

where can i buy one of those shirts?

 

[Fishy]

There’s like a zero percent chance someone was wearing a tee shirt that referenced Syracuse.

Unless it was a Syracuse fan with a 25-0 tee shirt.

 

[Waquoit]

And just a reminder, during their best year they played UConn twice and never had a lead in either game.

 

[Jaker]

any word on Cuse getting A KOK???

 

[Mazhude]

What is this thread about again?

I'm pretty sure it had something to do with pizza

I thought we had a BooGs in here at some point... LOL.

 

[Palatine]

If we had a t-shirt it would say,

Olander 2
Boeheim 1.

That's interesting. I didn't think Seweracuse had that many NBA players and that many lottery picks.

 

[nomar]

Agree. I just hope that this board doesn't melt down if we end up missing on both Precious and Kofi. I don't think we will, but it's a possibility, and as frustrating as it would be, it would not mean the sky's falling.

You know what they say -- Akok in the hand is worth two in the bush.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

You’re welcome

CT pizza > Cuse pizza

That is the first time I have seen that. Did you just make that up? Remove the "a" and it is perfect!

Which goes to show you how little of an impact most Cuse alumni have in the NBA. It’s almost like playing exclusively zone doesn’t prepare you for the next level.

More good stuff from two of their bright ones Paulie Peppas and dasher.

Peppas:
Say Hurley miraculously gets em to a final four in the next few years. They actual blue bloods and schools with a lot deeper pockets will go after him, will he stay?

Dasher:

Of course not. Staying isn't who UConn is anymore. And that is what being at a non power 5 school is all about. Did Chris Mack stay at Cinn.? A fellow american member that was left waiting at the church.

Of note: pretty sure chris mack was at Xavier and not cincy. Lol. And we are a blue blood. You have to win multiple titles for that.

It has little to do with "Blue Blood" status. Good Ole Roy left Kansas for UNC. Coaches leave all the time within college sports and it has as much to do with ego and wanting to be wanted than it does the school. Cripes, Saban almost left Bama for Texas 2-3 years ago.
