Seriously, some guys peak later. Can’t sign everyone. Same crap calhoun heard with any late bloomer Connecticut player

He also had offers from Stonehill, Bucknell, and Dartmouth.
I mean Sanogo was only 6'7 with post skills.
Seriously though that type of player isn't the problem, now if he is slow, or skinny, or not athletic, or has T-rex arms, those would be a problem. Or listed two inches taller than his actual height (6'4).
Yes, but only a bit, has always been 90% the fans for me. The 10% that came from Cooley being a snaky hypocrite is on pause for English. Seems like a good person overall though. So did Cooley at first.
Find out in December/January if he's trying to get players to transfer over to PC after the game.
Idk, i thought it would, but then FriarJ comes around telling us about the killer prospect they beat out Sienna and VT for, and it goes back up.

I had an acquantance maybe 10-15 years ago who is JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST like FriarJ in real life.
Granted, it was a different time - but were the results much different?
He would go on and on about who they were "in" on, they would NEVER get any of these players - and in many cases they wouldn't even be mentioned on lists

40 minutes or so after someone posts about it....IN AUGUST!...on another schools message board! Next level obsession. I don't know whether to admire his fandom or call the men in the white coats and butterfly nets.

As much as it's fun to make fun of Providence, Mela seems like the type of kid they should be looking at to fill the back half of their roster. He has decent size, handled the ball in transition a lot, seemed like a decent passer from the videos I've seen, and probably most importantly PC is less than 50 miles from where he's from. He's not a super efficient shooter from 3 yet, but honestly not a lot of 6'6" high school players are.

Watched a highlight tape of Mela. Seems very slow and looks like he barely even jumps on his jumpshot, so will take years of work before he could be playable at the BE level
Kid definitely isn’t a superstar (as evidenced by his offer list), but he could have success if he fits in English’s system and is coached to play above his ranking like some of our guys were before Hurley started pulling in monster classes. Equally likely he gets “Big East” on his resume for a year or two and then transfers down
I say there’s no harm in picking up a local project, AS LONG AS their staff has some bigger names coming too

I didn’t post it to begin with. I never said he was a killer prospect. Can you even read? , this board…

You're on another team's board. What do you expect? How would a UConn fan, even one who was respectful and not talking trash, be treated on the PC board? I'd guess much worse than you're treated here. We feel your hate and we rather enjoy it.

I saw a lot of Big 10 fans upset that they couldn't land him. Kid seems like a lights out shooter for 6'9", which I don't love going to Creighton

FriarJ is a good dude, though. When he’s not throwing mud his posts are value added.You're on another team's board. What do you expect?
