Fishy,

You definitely make me and many others on here laugh a lot. And you keep many in line.

But holy crap you have become the snarkiest mother f'er on here. I realize the last 7 to 9 months (if you include that debacle of a football season) have made us all just a bit (or a whole lot) darker and angrier on this board. But since you and your opinions carry a lot of weight around here, please consider lightening up a bit on those of us who are less omnipresent than you - which is pretty much all of us, except for Temery. I sincerely hope we have a throw back good year so we can see your kinder, happier side once in awhile.

... Definitely one of your better one-liner retorts though - I can't stop laughing at this one.

The key here is to stop acting like he is God and stop holding him to a different standard. This is a guy who, from what I gather, doesn't like beer, possibly doesn't like pizza, and claims Cheerios as his favorite cereal. This board needs the snark, regardless.

Love the pickup, kid will give Uconn a lot of positive minutes.

Plays confident and furcious going to the bucket.

This guy will definitely help the competition level at practices... he's a player. Happy to have him.

There's nothing wrong with not liking beer. I don't like it either, especially when there are any number of well aged bourbons readily available. And Cheerios are Cheerios, as long as nobody pisses in yours, but not liking pizza is decidedly un-American, and definitely anti-Connecticut, the globally recognized pizza capital of the universe.

He likes beer. Just not good beer. I've taken the bourbon plunge (and Scotch) and I'm having trouble mustering excitement for beer. Cheerios are indeed excellent. On pizza, yeah, I don't get that.

As for the snark. He's always been funny. It is just a bit more hostile than before. But what threatens UConn athletics threatens the Yard in a real way, so I understand.

Kid looks a little better than a 4th guard to me. He's very good at getting the ball into the paint and making a play via pass, shot, or attacking the rim.

sorry that I don't appreciate your holier than thou facade. all you do is post about how people should be more optimistic.

and that upsets the curmudgeon gang

There's a ton wrong with not liking beer.

From CV's instagram story, it looks like Anderson is already on campus and working out with CV.

But he's not quite as athletic as Donnell Beverly LOL

Haha

 

[Kemba'sYogurt]

Adding on to what tcf said, Jalen, CV, Mamadou, and Rique are already very well aquainted with Antwoine

The only thing wrong with liking beer is when there is never enough of it.

Great clip. Really looking like a good hard nosed addition.

From what I see here he's scrappy, looks quick so we can make it with the 4 guards we have. When he comes in can he defend? Also looks to be high energy so maybe he can press and apply some pressure get turnovers, is that in his game?

At the very least he will allow Ollie to talk as though we are going to press,
then the media will talk about us like we are a pressing/running team and then we won't
press at all.

 

[The Funster]

Assuming good health for AG, I'm liking that 4 guard rotation

 

[GetTheFacts]

Love this pickup. Kid plays with a level of intensity and swagger that UConn has lacked over the past couple of seasons.

 

[J187Money]

I talked to one of his former AAU coaches yesterday. He said we would love him, he loves Ollie - he is a stud. Crazy athleticism but he can be a bit wild at times. But thinks he is a great add for the program.

Beverly was a "steady influence, high bball iq" guy who was unsteady and had low bball iq.

Beverly was a "steady influence, high bball iq" guy who was unsteady and had low bball iq.

It was more that he was low-athleticism, slow-reaction guy who couldn't quite keep up with the pace of high level basketball. He would be steady "high IQ" / low mistake rate player in a slower game.
