It’s a public forum of UConn fans - why is that so odd?

Don’t get me wrong, I express appreciation on a personal level but our Blaze prep research showed Millenials liked to be recognized and highlighted on social media.

Therefore, Chill would post non specific hype posts just prior to the public verbal. This was something the basketball program did not do pre Chill.

With brilliant strategies like these I can't understand why we didn't land Reddish.

This clown is trying to convince us that our recruiting improved because we posted a hype video AFTER a recruit committed but BEFORE it was made public.

It's about as stupid as people writing anonymously in a forum believing their opinions are important.

You got it all wrong - Chill would post some non player specific post building anticipation - due to NCAA rule until someone actual signs coaches can’t say anything publicly about the player.

It's unclear to me but I think it involved running a stagnant inefficient offense coupled with a failure to close out on three point shooters in order to get a coaching change in Storrs.

Well played Chief, very well played indeed.

Did I say my opinion was important, or are you just assuming I believe that so you can try and score some points here.

Many of us, myself included, tend to be condescending on here, but at least we're honest. Chief is not only condescending, but he's been proven to be a liar. That's why he's a clown.

Yes, I know they can't say anything about a player. Which makes your idiotic blaze strategy even more ridiculous. The fact is, you're trying to say that the actions the staff took, AFTER the commitment, is what led to the commitment. That's your MO. Make a ridiculous argument, then tell people they just don't understand the nuance. You're a clown.

I'd be lying if I didn't admit to being a little concerned about filling those 3 slots this late in the game. But I believe that Coach Hurley has something good in the works, otherwise we probably wouldn't have the 3 open slots.

Meh, the season isn’t even over yet. Got five months before the next fall semester starts.

There will be tons of opportunities for late commitments and transfers.

Good post though

If the former regime needed to have a meeting at a pizza place to determine that millenials like attention on social platforms it just shows how out of touch they were - I see a new "Real Men Of Genius" campaign for Bud Light coming on - we salute you out of touch college basketball coaching staff, your inability to grasp the obvious about those you want to come play for you tells everyone you'll soon learn that your key to the gym no longer works.

By research you mean looking at kids social media feeds, or looking at any of the tons of books written about marketing to Millenials or going one of 100's of conferences on the topic - christ you make it sounds like someone had to spend years of their life crisscrossing the globe and piecing together fragment of info to give the program the competitive edge.

Buffoons.

Even though I'm just expressing a worthless opinion, about this, you and I are in agreement.

I'll modify it slightly. The guy knows what he's doing. His cute act is a sham but effective. He was the ringleader when this forum hit Dyson hard.

He took hits over the years when fans moved on and he couldn't. It's a testament to his will. Not many could take the number of insults BigErn threw his way. So he created a persona that was nonthreatening, clown like. And that swung the pendulum in his favor with a number of posters.

His exaggerations and or outright lies don't bother me. It's the crowd that doesn't understand his motives that I'm concerned about. If people want to satisfy his attention seeking when he's being ridiculous that's on them. If he convinces them to turn on people that's another matter for me.

WingU was reasonable in his conversation with me. Chief's act is endearing to some. Others hate his lies or exaggerations. I have a different viewpoint. I don't think it's healthy to support attention seekers or to be convinced anyone is above reproach but most of the stuff he's currently writing is harmless in my book. I have a feeling that the switch can go off for him and he'll get his followers to turn on someone.

On another note, I understood what you and stairmaster were doing these past two seasons. I thought it was a fools endeavor. At some point in time it becomes obvious that certain people are unwilling to consider different viewpoints and arguing with them is a futile endeavor. It becomes more about a battle to prove who has the most fortitude than about the issue of the debate.

My time is too valuable to take that path. However, I like balance regarding issues particularly because most issues are complex and reducing them to one or two bullet points reduces the ability to gain insight to those issues. So I applauded you guys with that in mind. More so because I knew the arguments you and stair were making were not necessarily the points you both would have preferred to have made. You guys were stubborn but to a half fault. Noble but futile cause.

Sometimes Chief you go and make one too many posts and go and blow the free aura you have built for some odd reason amongst the clueless here. Do less.

This is correct.

Christ I can only tolerate it for so long - typically 3-4 months then I lash out at the lunacy and then can handle it for another 3-4 months before the cycle starts again.

CL82 - You know better than that nonsense - Blaze was solely a recruiting strategy. I have said that numerous times. It had nothing to do with game strategy or offense/defensive tactics.

You have blown past the borders of total incoherency. I can’t even identify a cognitive idea in your post, never mind respond.

Will someone please define "the Blaze strategy" for a somewhat new viewer of these august posts?

Apparently people may or may not have met at a blaze pizza establishment where they may or may not have come up with a new recruiting strategy that goes something like recruit better in the 100 to 200 range in order to return UConn Mens Basketball to it's former glory.
