Akok 'Cuse/Pitt Visits

As another prostate cancer survivor, I would like to clear up a few things.
1) prostate cancer is about the best cancer to get ( some might argue thyroid) but both are easily treatable and have great outcomes except for very rare cases. I had no chemo or radiation in my treatment. I am embarrassed by the term survivor.

2) Yes urinating is initially challenging and for some that continues but you know to get pads or adult diapers if you must. He is either extremely unlucky or extremely sloppy.

3) Nose picking has never been a side effect.

If you live long enough basically every man gets prostate cancer. Glad it wasn't too bad for you.

If weather is a factor for Akok ( and I doubt it is) both Syracuse and
Connecticut have serious arctic winters, trying to say which is worse is futile. Guys like this are focused on BB and an NBA career. They don’t care about the restaurants in town or annual cultural events. They are not planning on spending the rest of their life there. If weather was a factor, why in the first place would he visit either Uconn or Syracuse?

I don't know why so many people focus on weather for recruits. I don't think it's a major factor for most recruits. If it was then Miami would be getting lots of 5 star recruits.
 
This is all about where he feels the most comfortable at and I hope it is UConn. If not, then UConn moves on.

Anyone who compares Conn. winters to Syracuse winters is really not aware of what Syracuse is like.

Try 10 degrees colder + 3x more snow + constant cloud cover.

It is a huge difference.

You're right. We lived in Oneida, about 25 miles East of Syracuse for three years and it was always gray from November to April (well, almost) and definitely tougher weather than CT.

Seriously. Every thread!

Parties and girls matter. For some classes matter. But the #1 item is how we will grt you to the NBA. Everything else follows.

New film guy from last year (I think) has been doing a good job with the presentations working with the coaches.

Hope he enjoyed his weekend, just not nearly as much as last weekend in storrs

Now, weather is a big part of that. Why do you think Arizona has one of the best collection of coeds in the land? Because it's one 4 year long pool party.

Yeah you’re right I have no experience with Syracuse, been there once when I was a little kid. But I still don’t think weather plays a role in recruiting. If Akok cared about nice weather he would not visit Syracuse or Uconn.

IthacaMatt being awfully quiet. Speak up man. You got any word?

Storrs is a beautiful campus. If is especially striking in the fall and Spring. Winter has a enough snow to be picturesque but not so much to make getting around an issue. Don't equate us with Syracuse.

And Miami is hot, sticky and miserable all but about 4 months of the year. Not saying Storrs weather is great compared to everybody, but Syracuse is uniquely awful.
 
I've read a bunch of posts in their thread claiming our facilities are trash, or at least inferior to theirs. Does Cuse have nice facilities? Can someone make them aware of the Werth center?

Yes. Great thought. Young men hate it when it's so hot, sticky and miserable that other young people want to pull their shirts off all the time.
