An offer is in

Just to clarify from a seasoned NJ Go-Go bar veteran, The Bada Bing is fictional and is actually Satin Dolls. A fine establishment that unfortuately is no longer providing high quality adult entertainment as of this past December.

probably deserves more likes.

But for reference, those 2 are both rated like Kisunas this year, and higher than Matthews.

Is that accurate? From what I've seen on video and watched, Matthews looks like a much better prospect than Kisunas.

Well i'm just using the rating on ESPN's UConn recruiting page.

FWIW, Kisunas is an 80 and Matthews is a 79. So frankly, flip a coin for all I are.

Polley was an 81 last year.

I don’t ever think of Calhoun as a plan B - he’s a HOHer and a - who doesn’t need that to straighten out a team
But of course - Plan A is Hurley and that’s a good plan by Dave.

If you want to keep JC in the land of the living, he's not on anyone's list right now. I feel like I'm the only boneyarder who's worried about keeping JC vertical. Let's not kill the man off.

Matthews is rated more highly on the composite, but not by much. 160-190.

Corey Evans has stated on multiple occasions that he is a sleeper and possibly under-ranked. I think another one of the sites said the same. Why not just rank him higher then?

 

[Whtdmd]

Don't want Hurley to be the coach but heard enough from last weekend to convince me that he is a lock

Chief will check out the Oats dude more.

He looks a little like brad Stevens. Take him.

Exactly.

I'm not hating on Kisunas, but even in the limited tape I've watched, there's no comparison between the two. Though, I'll grant you, the lower you go, the harder it is to separate guys.

Hard to get an eval on him because he plays in public school league, I believe. Only time he ever gets watched is during AAU--where he played better than many high 4*s.

One win over a notoriously bad tournament coach where his team makes 15 threes is a long way from Brad Stevens.

It's less about the win, and more about how they play. Also, they beat Zona by 20+, it's not like they eaked it out.

People who've been watching him all year say this is what you get. I've watched them 3 times, and the guy can certainly coach.

But no, he's not Brad Stevens.

 

[AdamaNation]

If he can convince a kid to come to Buffalo from Orlando he might be a wizard. What’s the NCAA rule on wizards?

UConn cannot know, use, mention, or even know how to spell the word. Can please add a number 6 to your post after the z please?

The

The traffic from Pittsburgh to NJ is far better than it is from NJ to CT... trust me, I live in PA now and going home is a nightmare bc of the traffic!!!

It doesn't take 5.5 hours to get from CT to North Jersey. It takes at least that long to do it from Pittsburgh.

You mean being right.

Look at what Brad has done with the talent in boston. It's ridiculous. He has dragged them back into being relevant.

but obviously Pop is more accomplished.

He was also the mastermind for the tankapalooza to get duncan.

That Ronald Segu kid absolutely monopolized youtube. As often as he has been on there you would think he is at least a 4 star, big-time recruit. His teammate ( AAU or hs) is Nassir Little who signed w/ UNC after decommitting from another school (escapes me at this point). Someone has schooled this kid on the benefits of marketing.

Let's not put cap on it. Just keep going.

Nope. You don't deserve to be educated. clearly you can't handle truth yet.

Decommitted from Zona. For obvious reasons.

Jeez this is going to get so silly but screw it - it's kind of fun.

But honestly, my buddy at the UConn AD says it's 100% in on Hurley right now and the worst kept secret ever. They're not even trying to hide it. They made him a monster offer. Cash is nice, but benefits are stuuuuuuuuuuuupid. They feel really, really, really good about it. Rumor is - he's coming here - or he's staying. Pitt isn't on the table. He loves it in Rhode Island to the point where he's not sure he wants to leave.

Which - if that's true, I'm not even mad about. Nice to see a guy care about what he's built. Although I'd love him here. I don't think that once he's here, that he'd leave.

Rothstein just said that the Tom Moore relationship is a strong hint about backchannel communication with UCONN.

CBS sports network. Tiki + Tierney segment.

That doesn't surprise me at all.

Even if Moore isn't acting in any official capacity on behalf of anyone at UConn, its definitely a benefit to us having someone there in Hurley's ear telling him how great a UConn is.
