Remarkable former player turnout. I wish I had gone.

They're probably livestreaming @August_West playing Little Feat n Bridgeport.

Fun game.

Was kind of hoping my old favorite, Price, would show up. Any one know what he’s up to?

I said to my father “I’ve got a feeling Boat, Dyson, and Hamilton can take over this game whenever they want to. They’re being nice right now.” And sure enough, they had a spurt where they made sure the white team won.

The Mel Thomas/Lorin Dixon and Sticks/Sellers matchups were hysterical. They were beating each other up.

Says a lot about Calhoun that 11 women’s basketball players would show up for him.

Ed Nelson was the best three point shooter. Wouldn’t have guessed that.

Boat got MVP for the men....

I was shocked at the range that Ed Nelson was showing. It never gets old watching Ray Allen shoot from 3. Thats worth the price of admission alone. I thought it was great that Dan Hurley and his entire staff was in attendance, and noticed Tom Moore introducing Hurley to a lot of the former players on the court after the game. Ive been to every one of these games since 2004. It really is a great event and I hope Calhoun keeps doing this.

Great to see all the old players. Hardly recognized Voskuhl. Rudy on rge sidelines with that big smile joking around, Depriest don't think he's missed one if these. To see players who never played for Calhoun return for this shows that despite his coaching inadequacy, the players still got that sense in 'UConn family' from Ollie.

How did The Chief look off the bench? Casual or pedestrian?

Did Ed ever take a 3 playing for Jimmy? LOL

Why does Jacobs has to make it about the guy who was invited but did not show up?

Because he reads the boneyard.

 

[ThetaZoo]

Because he reads the boneyard.

Great night as usual and yeah Big Jake looked like a body builder . Hurley and his family were sitting like in the 10th row among the fans. Right behind were the assistants and a few rows behind them sat Jalen, Diara, Sid, Gilbert, Vital.

Ray thanked Calhoun and UConn

Mike Anthony: Family Reunion At Jim Calhoun Charity Event Important Show Of UConn Pride

>>“Whoever it may be, the past 20 years the guys have been coming here because it's UConn basketball,” Calhoun said. “Whether it be Danny [Hurley] running the show, Kevin Ollie running the show, Jim Calhoun running the show, UConn basketball is above the individual.”<<

 

[husky99]

Any recruits there?

From Jacobs' article: "Calhoun said he had a good talk with Ryan Boatright about playing in China and how he’s looking at a two-way deal with the Clippers."

Looking at? That would be huge.

There is a whole lot of goodness in that article. Love the comment by Jim re: his chat with Jalen.

JC was doing live interviews on the locals yesterday afternoon. He joked about how he would ask guys...."The way I treated you why would you come back here?" and he would laugh.
