2022 Recruiting: Alex Karaban Unoffical Visit (Again)

[Palatine]

Reel UCon fans can spell West Balzooknia.

 

[Waquoit]

It's always a good time to recall past players. It's what sports fans do. if a casual fan doesn't like it, they can zip it and wait it out.

 

[Chin Diesel]

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

You give me too much credit. It was a full sticking tongue out the mouth.

Yes, but in this case we are discussing Niels Giffey, the greatest key role player ever to play on two separate UConn national championship teams.

 

[Greedo]

All this Giffey talk in the Karaban thread.

 

[HooperScooper]

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.

Someone called him Neil Griffey on here the other day and I had to refrain from commenting. I'm glad you called this out. Calling Rashad Anderson Rashard also kills me. I'm not sure why but it does. I think it's part of my OCD. Lol

I'm in agreement here but when a thread gets side railed on a certain topic thread it gets a bit laborious reading through it. It's like a wildfire, hard to contain the focus. So with that said, any good insight from this past weekend at Peach Jam regarding Alex.

Agree. Was a huge fan of Tony Robinson and disliked it when people didn't take the time to correctly learn his name.

But, others are correct. This thread is about Alec Karaben and we should keep the focus on him.

It could be because it’s not his name, but I’m just guessing

 

[Coach J]

It could also be someone posting from their phone with a hyper auto-correct on their cell keyboard.

He's holding his commitment for a GT offer? Someone from the Yard needs to inform him we're on a timeline. Its causing a devide on the Yard. Karaban VS Niels. It's ugly.

 

[CL82]

Jes holding his commitment for GT offer

Uh oh he didn't say #notcommitted !

We're doomed.

 

[WestHartHusk]

Giffey in the Memphis ACC tourney game is one of the best performances ever by a UConn player. You can hear the Memphis crowd groan as he gets the ball open in the corner. Then he knocks down another three. Just incredible.

Now we don't even remember what conference we were in.

 

[Husky Alien]

Isn't that when he goes on unofficial or official visit?

Usually when they post uniform pictures, but you are not getting into the spirit of BY recruiting overreaction.

Who?

Who?

I'm not sure but I think it is Niels Giffey's nephew.

We seemed to move towards Karaban and away from Whitmore, possibly because of his shooting woes? His stats are pretty similar to Karaban except Karaban shoots a much better % from deep.

Cam's stats from this weekend were...

17.1 PTS
7.1 REB
1.7 AST

51% FG
18% 3FG (on 3 attempts per game).

2.0 TO
1.7 STL
0.6 BLK

He's another one of these phenomenal athletes that just can't shoot. He may play well in college, but it's a much harder adjustment for those guys.

i'd prob rather have ty rodgers than cam but would prefer karaban to either

 

[JimCtheGOAT]

Niels Giffey would never consider Georgia Tech.
