I find PC Hoops to be insightful and reasonable obviously a fan of his team but respectful. No need to get on his case.

In this thread he called out that we’re old news, and that we stunk in the AAC. Not that I disagree with the fact that we stunk in the AAC, but if he can call that out I surely can call out the fact that we’re “old news” but yet he frequents this site and that’s something I would never do bc I got what I need from my own team. Not getting on his case, stating facts.

I’m just confused. Why are you wasting your time in another team’s forum while you can get off the computer and enjoy life?

None of this changes the fact that UConn has a better roster than Providence

Good lord folks - PChoops has been coming here for years and is almost always reasonable. And he likes to talk hoops. Why are you running him down?
Remember, the Boneyard is really one of the best boards on the Internet for great hoops talk and unlike many other boards, *cough* cuse *cough*, we don't just ban people from other programs with a decent take that may differ from ours.
Probably has something to do with not feeling inferior, but I digress. Just be happy we have such a great and diverse place to talk hoops and stop harping on him.

I mean he came to a UConn board and callled UConn old news. He deserves everything he’s getting. He actually probably wanted/expected this reaction.

I feel like this is the point that is being missed. PC certainly isn’t a bad team. But If you had to make a team from their roster and ours, who would be on the team? PC lost a lot from last year from what I can tell. UConn has a much stronger team than last year.

No predictions for Georgetown, though that may be for the best.
Coaching wise, Anderson is a very good coach. Steele stays at Xavier, though Jordan will be under some heat at Butler. And no coach voluntarily goes to Boston College without putting his career in danger.

You are right can't disagree with that, but I'll take my 2 top 50 jr wings in Duke and Reeves and Nate, the best inside big in the BE, ask Nova about Nate. Yes, UConn is stacked, but will it play out on the court..........not a total UConn hater like the kid Springs (saw him in highschool) and Tyrese Martin kid can play D and has a cockiness to his game.

Bouknight is much better than Duke, and Reeves was hot garbage last year. I'd absolutely take Martin over him. Cole is easily better than Bynum. Nate Watson is solid, but he's nowhere near making up for UConn's perimeter advantage, if he even ends up being better than UConn's frontcourt, which is doubtful.

They pick the Huskies to finish 4th, behind Villanova, Creighton and Seton Hall.
UConn is returning to its roots this season in rejoining the Big East, the conference where Jim Calhoun once transformed the Huskies into a national power. Fittingly, coach Dan Hurley has perhaps his best team since taking over the program as they enter a new era. Sophomore James Bouknight is a huge reason we're optimistic about this team's prospects, and with transfer RJ Cole joining him, the star power in this backcourt could wind up being special. Tons of athleticism and scoring potency on this roster.
Big East expert picks, 2020-21 preview: Villanova will face challenge from Creighton for conference title
The Bluejays, led by Big East Preseason Player of the Year Marcus Zegarowski, aren't too far back from Novawww.cbssports.com
The biggest challenge will be the consistency required to be successful in a league like the Big East. UConn lost to some bad teams last year, and if UConn is as inconsistent this season as it was last season, UConn will finish in the bottom 1/3 of the league. The Big East has two very good teams at the top, and goes deep. Georgetown sucks, but every other team will jump out to a 10 point lead on UConn if the Huskies show up out of sync like they did so often last season.
My quick and dirty:
1) Villanova
2) Creighton
3) Seton Hall
4T) Butler
4T) Marquette
4T) UConn
7) St. Johns
8) Depaul
9) Providence
10) Xavier
11) Georgetown

Meh, he’s trolling and doing so fairly transparently.
Only on a UConn board can a UConn fan call out other UConn fans for defending their team and defend an opposing teams fan by saying he is “almost always reasonable” and defend said fan one of the times he’s not reasonable.
Damn, no love I like butler too
What is this PC is back from??
Back from where?? They don't have enough
NCAA tourney success.
You have to be somewhere first b4 u can be back

Found another write up.
#3 UConn – Danny Hurley enters year three with what is without a doubt his most talented group yet in Storrs, and expectations are without a doubt high. The hype train grew further with the news that URI transfer Tyrese Martin received a waiver to play right away, giving the Huskies yet another proven talent to plug into the mix. If you don’t know the name James Bouknight yet, you will soon: Bouknight is a legit NBA prospect thanks to his high-flying athleticism the ability to shoot the ball from deep. He’s high on my list of must-watch players this season. Rounding out the backcourt with Bouknight and Martin is Howard transfer RJ Cole, a dynamic scoring point guard who is great in ball screens and scored a ridiculous 1510 points in two seasons for the Bison. Throw in Jalen Gaffney, Brendan Adams, and Andre Jackson, and all the sudden you have six impressive guards to cycle through. If healthy, the frontcourt might be just as deep. Akok Akok is a difference-maker as a rim protector, but he’s coming off an achilles tear and his timetable to return isn’t totally clear. Tyler Polley is excellent as a shooter off screens, but is still in recovery from a January ACL tear. But veterans Josh Carlton and Isaiah Whaley are productive pieces in the frontcourt, with Whaley really shining down the stretch once given the opportunity. And that’s not even mentioning Adama Sanogo, a highly-touted reclassified recruit whose best basketball is still in front of him. Hurley has a strong reputation as a recruiter for a reason, and it’s no surprise that he has loaded up the roster like this in a fairly short time. Cole’s play at point guard will be critical in making an offense that was inconsistent at times run smoother, but the Huskies now have the type of roster Hurley needs: deep, athletic, aggressive, and filled with guys who can make shots.

The sources of the inconsistency were identified and addressed. No way UConn finishes in the bottom 1/3.

At one point we had six healthy players. Even our best walk on was injured. This season should be nothing like last season.

I find it interesting that a student at NorthWestern does a better write up than the paid guys at CBS.

A real wildcard will be how each program manages Covid. This is a disruption that is a new variable to managing your chemistry, how deep you plan your participating bench, the emotional strength of your players, etc. Nova is at the top of everyone's predictions based on recent history and roster but I'm concerned about this unknown variable.

I honestly have considered this as one of the reasons I think UConn is in strong position. Last year these guys played with 6 active players at times. This year they have depth at every spot on the floor, usually at least 3 players who can handle each position without much dropoff, with the exception of Bouknight.
