Alas, I will be gone that week.

Nice to see Aqua Turf's still around. Had my junior prom there 30 years ago.

Going with my wife and nephew. What is the dress code? Does anyone know?

 

[Ricker]

received an email that said business casual, ie slacks, collar shirt/dress shirt, dress shoes, with or without sportcoat

 

[rip7774]

Wearing a collared l/s shirt, khakis and Nike dunks. The email indicated business casual so I’m leaning into casual. All I brought from Florida!

What, exactly, are slacks? Part kidding, but I've never understood.

If you have two Slack.com accounts, you have a pair of Slacks.

 

[UofCT]

Anyone who attended last night want to share some of the highlights or quotes?

 

[StllH8L8ner]

What, exactly, are slacks? Part kidding, but I've never understood.

If you have two co-workers who sit around the office and don’t do anything. Wait, those are slack-ers. Nevermind.

Who has pics from last night? Of slacks or players…or both.

 

[VivaLsVgs]

Couldn’t make it to the event last night but did get to Dunkin this AM to see Solo, Hass, Jaylin & Jayden!

How was the event?

 

[Moose1979]

How was the event?

This is very odd. SOMEBODY from the yard must have gone, no???

Cocktail Hour

500 people, at least 1 1/2 hours to mingle with the players, Donovan, Steph, Tristen, Hawkins, attended along with all next year's players. Had a chance to talk with Nowell, Reed, Ross, & Aiden at one point. Aiden was familiar with the Boneyard, but the others were interested to know about it. Reed is powerfully built, which is in stark contrast to everybody else including Alex. Both Nowell & Solo are on my all time smile team. You can't help but be great kids because those kinds of genuine smiles can't be faked. Solo tells me he plays some golf and can hit the ball long, but direction not so much. I asked Abraham how he felt about his initial play with the other guys, he says he brings defense, rebounding, and that he can shoot it. Tom Moore was very generous to share with me some insight into recruitment of Alex. He indicated he kept communication with Alex but didn't even discuss Alex with Dan until the staff was flipping the script on team composition after the New Mexico State game. Evidently Adam Finklestein was a big Alex advocate and Tom respects that opinion. Finklestein said if UConn doesn't land Alex, somebody else in the Big East will, and that team will kick UConn's butt. I'll post a couple pics after my phone recharges.

Program Emceed by Seth Greenberg
Started with Bleed for Blue officials, then Seth Interviewing Dan. Andrea & Drew then came up. Seth asked Andrea to reflect on the journey where they were now vs St Benedicts. She legitimately choked back tears and was a very endearing moment. Had Kimani, Luke, & Tom make comments. The real takeaway is how much the bad New Mexico State loss has changed their coaching & roster construction. Seth took every opportunity to laud the staff and players. Finally, Seth had Tristen, Stephon, Hawk, Clingan, Hass, Alex, and Samson on the stage for a couple questions apiece. I had forgotten Kimani's relationship with Stephon's dad going back to young kids. 2 Auctioned tix for certain home and away games as part of the team entourage, went for $5000 to $9000, although they didn't get any $15000 starting bid for Maui tix & flight w/ team but without hotel. I don't think there was much commentary that boneyarders haven't heard, but the flattery was nice to hear.
