Andre will be a monster, defensively. A monster. As has been mentioned, we’d be talking about the best pure athlete we’ve had since Sticks, Rudy, etc.

There’s a reason the staff has been steadfast in their pursuit of him. He’s exactly the kind of guy to activate the transition game that Dan wants.

If he is I want to kiss him because it was EK who was responsible for getting rid of Dom Perno and ushered in JC - I always say, with tongue in cheek, that EK is my favorite Husky for that reason alone

Yea, but Earl, Of Storrs, could ball.

With James and Andre, that would be some crazy freaky athleticism on one team.

Earl Kelly use to say that Pearl was bad mouthing him in Jersey - and posters been saying Cuse fans were bad mouthing Chief recently. Some things never change.

How you get from one of our recruits being badmouthed, to Earl Kelley, to you??? You are one amazing, no nothing, narcissist!! Pure entertainment!!

Wasn’t he Earl Kelley? Am I wrong there was an extra E?

Loved his game and the first guy who truly shoved it up the Oranges butt and came here instead.

You are correct. And to this day he’s one of the most talented players to EVER lace em up at UConn (averaged 47 his senior year). He was just a tad distracted during his days at Storrs unfortunately. Something I regrettably have direct knowledge of.

Yes, unlike some people on this board who make up stories about players and then tell them on this board, I have many real stories that I would never tell. I don't constantly crave attention nor is it anyone's business.

He’s gotten under your skin because he does exactly what you would never think of doing. And several posters agree with you.

When we don’t like someone we try to marginalize them by embarrassing them, or criticizing them or ganging up on them. You have support in what you’re doing but the numbers of chief’s supporters might be even with the detractors and possibly outnumber them.

If it makes you feel good than continue. Or if you find that not speaking makes you believe you should have done something and didn’t then continue.

As a person who isn’t invested in this issue one way or the other I will point out that I’m not sure you’re accomplishing anything. If anything you are inadvertently encouraging the situation, not reducing it. And ironically inadvertently bringing attention to yourself.

I'm just having fun with it. I don't lose any sleep over what the guy says if that's what you're saying.

He was Earl Kelly at Wilbur Cross and then Earl Kelley at UConn... still not sure why.

And I am confident in saying that Cuse is one program that should be basking in the sunlight yet is constantly finding ways to shut those blackout shades

There is no sunlight in Syracuse. The program reflects the misery of the place.

I honestly can’t think of anything they have in common

Lol they kind of look alike to me (except Andre has some eye brows) and both are extremely athletic. I didn’t put a ton of thought into the comparison...obviously
