No, we still probably have 2 more. Buddy Boeheim can go off scholarship next year, and they expect Brissett to also leave. I hear we're not getting Akok, so good luck on him. I'm hoping we can land Stewart to go with all those guards he used to play with in AAU ball, but that's a moderate chance, not a great one. Carrigan or Wahab may fall to us. I know you've been after Wahab, but I think we have his last visit.

Cardigan. Man that dude crawled into a cave or something. There’s been nothing on him for a while.

I was a big fan of his

Well, in January of 2015 PC was down by 7 points at half at Butler. Cooley was disgusted with the effort so he put Chukwu in to start the second half where he never came out once for the rest of the game. He won the game for them, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks including sinking 2 free throws in the final seconds to ice it. Has he ever had that kind of impact in one game at Cuse? A conference game? Against a top 25 team on the road? Plus he was a freshman.

To be fair, Lydon, Malachi, McCullough, MCW, Flynn, have all dealt with their fair share of injuries once drafted. Not to say that they would automatically be even reserves or starters because imo most of those guys I listed left too early. And then of course theres Fab Melo (RIP).
 
maybe during this week...?

Also to be fair, all of those guys are terrible.

I really liked Lydon’s game. Besides his one prolonged cold streak, he was a beast for Cuse. Maybe he was a little too slow for a hybrid forward, but he was skilled and versatile.

Malachi was a solid freshman, but just nowhere near ready for the NBA. Then Virginia chokes in the tournament and Richardson goes off, and he basically jumps into mick drafts from that one game. He needed more time.

McCollough has big injury problems. Hard to say much on him, other than Boeheim looking like his typically salty self when CJ declared.
 
Hopefully no one minds me posting this in here since the Kofi thread is locked. Does anyone speak Snapchat emoji? Kofi posted a photo of him in a UConn uniform with a monocle wearing curious emoji followed by a question mark to his SC story.
Please explain what that means and if I should overreact.

The more interesting calculation would be the total $$ earned by UConn 1st rounders vs. the 'Cuse first rounders. With a realization that Kemba and Andre have many more years of earning upwards of $30M per year.

Until last year, Melo kept me from giving Danny Ainge the benefit of the doubt I would give others.

Eh, no shame in taking pot shot late on 7 footer in the late 1st. Especially after already getting your guy (Sullinger). It wasn't exactly stud-central after that anyway. And everybody missed on Draymond.

Either: check this possibility out--what do you think? --or-- thinking about my tough decision.

Lydon doesn't and didn't have the mental attitude to be in the NBA - he was soft - very skilled - but soft

All 3 were draft wastes

It means he's thinking about UConn and yes, you should overreact.

We are in good shape with Kofi. Just need to close.
