Maybe Susan Sarandon’s protege can spend time with him.

Who is he going to be a distraction to? You think castle or Spencer are going to neglect to prepare for Marquette because bouknight stood on the sidelines for part of practice? Or you think they’re going to go party with him the night before the game?

I’m very confused

Maybe they'll eat too many Doritos and fall asleep.
 
Good for James. Maybe this is exactly what he needs to get his head straight. He had a good support staff while he was at UConn, just because he made some mistakes does not mean he should be shunned. I made many mistakes between the ages of 17-23, only I did not have a microscope on me to make it known to everybody.

Honestly wouldn't be a far-fetched worry for some undisciplined teams around the country over the years and even here many years ago but this team is as professional as it gets from the coaches on down through all the players. Guys like Steph, Cam, and AK are choirboys. All they do is is think about basketball and practice when they're not at practice.

Being around the coaches and these players should be the best place for Bouknight. He was a foundational part of bringing the Huskies back to prominence and right now he needs to be around people who love him and want him to succeed.

Oh stop. He is a grown man and a millionaire. He totally embarrassed himself and the program and the school last time he was here. Now you want to coddle him again. He wants to buy a ticket, that’s fine but we don’t need his distraction or even potential distraction right now. You think he just happened to come this week? He came to try to get noticed because he knew there would be big media circus. He was a punk when he first arrived. He was a punk when he came back last year. He was a punk in Charlotte. It isn’t UConn’s job to fix his issues. He needs to take responsibility.

Bouknight was a big part of Uconn becoming a powerhouse again. We weren't that good then but he put on a must see show most nights.

F the haters. I'm glad he's back. If this team gets "distracted" by a former player coming to the game then they aren't the real deal anyways. The being said, this team is the real deal.

The guy just got cut from an NBA team and might not be back in the league anytime soon, if at all.

Not a week or so later and he’s back on campus with the team. Part of me think this was a mutual arrangement and he probably wants some advice/help from Hurley and staff and maybe, just maybe, wants to tell these younger guys to take this serious and not F around.

Just a thought.

He came to try to get noticed by a “media circus” so strong that we have threads bemoaning the crap coverage and exposure this game has, relative to quality. And not because he just got cut. Okay guy.

All we need is James Bouknight to cause trouble. Kimani has a huge game to prepare for. So does Hurley. He should have Stayed in Charlotte or wherever he lives these days. We do not need distractions this week.

Again with "we"?

You've just made him and anybody has who acted with questionable judgment look good by comparison.

Former UConn star James Bouknight was on campus on Friday, shooting around inside the Werth Family Champions Center after practice. Bouknight was a lottery pick by Charlotte three years ago, but was released by the team recently.

"Bouk's a legend here," Donovan Clingan noted, "so it's always good to have him around."

What if Dan Hurley and Kimani Young forget to show up to the game because they're talking to James? Or what if our fans forget to cheer because they're watching him walk to his seat? Or maybe the refs will be starstruck by an NBA player sitting courtside and forget to call fouls when Tristen Newton drives? There's so many possibilties
Expand ...
Tristen never gets these calls anyway.

These responses are idiotic and shameful. I am certain Kimani and Dan invited him up and only further illustrates the loyalty and dedication this staff and this head coach has for their players. It’s a lifetime for Hurley and these kids and at a time when things can go either way for James, there is no better place for him to be than back home and around these guys. Dan is a man of his word. When he tells a recruit and their family, I am here for you he sure as hell means it. Others just say it.

When the team is not losing this is literally the only reason a loser like freescooter would post anything.

I dont pay attention to who’s who on here, but you’re right, this poster really does sound like a loser. Must be miserable himself and probably doesn’t even know it. That’s the worst, when someone doesn’t even know it.

Anybody in your life ever have issues big enough where they needed help or support? Did you tell them it's not your job to help them or is there just a limit to your sympathy because it's not your job? Vain and envious people like you who put themselves above we mortals thrive in their own perceived lack of popularity. I'm sure you think you do not need help but some grown ups and even millionaires do.
