What happened to the "wink" for Karaban? Been silent ever since

These kids don’t want to have their announcements ruined. Not sure it means much given that. We may or may not lead but he doesn’t want people to just assume he’s in the bag for UConn. He wants offers and to experience the process.

Literally same thing that happened with Clingan. They had Zags put out an article that he might visit North Carolina the day he got the crystal ball. Also said UConn wasn’t the major favorite multiple times.

Lol people are upset at the Giffey comparison? Do some forget just how money Giffey was as a shooter, defender, rebounder, and decision maker his senior. Please by all means give us another. Alex probably isn’t going to take 4 years to fully get into the swing of things too.

I think he said that just because he retweeted a UConn account.

Kids are coached to do the #notcommitted thing or whatever when they interact with fans. At least that's what the EYBL program I have contact with does.
It's a good thing to teach them. Branding starts young for these young prospects and social media can go nuclear pretty quick if they say the wrong thing

For proof/examples, read the Denver Anglin thread where he liked a tweet from a UConn fan and people were convinced it meant he's coming here

You mean Niels (2 Rings) Giffey? I'd love to be saying Alex (2 Rings) Karaban in 10 years.

Guys, please stop the Giffey discussion. It's super annoying. We all LOVED Neils. There's literally zero reason to STILL bring this up. Some of you can get insulted by anything.

Its crazy how yall are arguing about comparing a potential commit to a 2 time national champion who contributed when we know Karaban is going to have a much more immediate impact and will looked to be more than just a 3 and D guy. Celebrate Neils and look forward to hopefully having a great player in Karaban.

Most of us loved Niels and are annoyed by people calling him Neils.
Totally super super annoying.
He was a key player on two championship team and there is ZERO reason to not know how to spell his name.
Are you talking about Kneels??

If it were spelled Neils, his name would be pronounced "Niles."

You’re implying one can’t be a real fan without knowing how to pronounce a combination of letters created in German. That’s pretty damn harsh.

I think @Chin Diesel was implying that, but I assume it was tongue-in-cheek. I offered my tidbit simply as an FYI.
