Yuck.

You don't want to be a "target" of Boeheim's.

I felt a little bad typing it, but it just worked.

I believe @tcf15 broke the seal on this.

So he grew up a Cuse fan and is from NY.
People really think we have a shot here?

 

[uconnbill]

Of course UConn has a shot, why wouldn't they?

Tremont Waters is from CT and grew up a UConn fan, probably why nobody bothered recruiting him

 

[SouthBayHusky]

Boeheim is 3 steps from convalescent home. In all honesty, is Boeheim even going to be coaching this kid more than 1-2 years.

Like any of that really matters.

There are thousands of reasons why

You wish it did and it's pretty true but if you grow up near there you're a fan. And when you go see him he will be talking basketball while not picking his nose. He won't tell you how you may not be a great NBA player because we play 2-3 zone therefore your transition to man will suck. He WILL tell you that the Orange have 30K fans at games, they play UNC and Duke here and go there to play them etc etc etc....and you grew up a fan so why not bring that A game of yours to your home area and rep your NY stat university?

We can only hope danny is doing it even better!

LOL spot on answer. Dad wasn't a UConn fan either for thousands of more reasons.

I guess my sarcasm wasn't clear enough

Danny is an absolute stud coach and is doing it better. I feel that many on here fail to recognize how dire the situation was that he inherited. Give him time and he will have UConn back in the top 10. It will take time though.

I am not worried about people who grew up in Syracuse, they know it's the most miserable horrible place in America. It's the people who make one visit on a nice June day and think that's how it is that I worry about.

 

[UConnKev]

Syracuse fans were confident they were getting Akok and how did that work out for them?

You mean THE one nice June day.

He's from Albany, I think he has a general idea about the weather in Syracuse.

 

[HuskyHawk]

That's my entire point. And nobody has such an idea should want to go to school in that hell hole.

Albany is balmy compared to Syracuse.

I am not lying when I tell you the two cities have entirely different climates.

 

[UConnKev]

Not sure if it’s an insider or but on the cuse board someone stated that it’s pretty much a done deal with him going to cuse.

Such a done deal he hasn't committed.

Not true.
