2022 Recruiting: Alex Karaban Unoffical Visit (Again)

[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

 

[Husky Alien]

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.

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.

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.

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

Niels Giffey would never consider Georgia Tech.

Phew. He didn't write from "The Ohio State University".

I'm almost afraid to ask how much time you put in to thinking that up and how much you laughed to yourself after you clicked "post reply".

"You're damn right he wouldn't"​

 

[NowInStorrs]

Dude is raking in some offers

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Niels Giffey would never consider Georgia Tech.

Yes, but "Rashard" scored 18 points in the 2004 National Championship game against GT.

Now, change the title again, or lock this thread.

Oh yeah...I support Alex Karaban making the most of his recruitment experience, and I'd like him to choose UCONN

Could be that I was typing quick and didn't really check the spelling since I was doing something else at the time.

That's not really that annoying, actually, but I see what you did there.

I would say I've rarely made spelling errors in my entire life; this was a typographical error.

But hey, contributing nothing seems to be the name of the game around here. I'm sure it really "annoyed" you, legend.

Yeah, except I've never in my life misspelled his name previously, I simply mistyped quickly. I'm not some 10 year old who doesn't know these guys, so really it's just obnoxious boneyard nonsense. Which is 95% of this board.
