Bouknight closing in on college decision (Zagsblog)

[Chief00]

“James Bouknight, a talented combo guard out of the MacDuffie School in Massachusetts, concluded his official visit with UConn over the weekend and will likely make his decision on Tuesday.”
My phone notifications will most definitely be on (they are already).

Like Chief’s been saying between Monday night and Wednesday for dam to break.

The beat writers are now on flood alert status - just as Chief had recommended.

Hahahahahahaha

Chaters? Hmmm, casual observation here, but do we have slang now for the Chief haters?

The shoe fits, and some are wearing it.

Here’s a date /time stamp picture of my post from 4:35PM yesterday. Chief really has better things to do with his time - but will put in the extra effort to help transparency.

Have you been the Willimantic

 

[gtcam]

I think Bouknight comes to UConn - beyond him is what concerns me - especially some quality bigs - 4s and 5s
I am holding out with the hope that if Bouknight does commit he knows others are coming

 

[gtcam]

Yeah - my daughter holds numerous womens soccer records there
One of my favorite Huskies - Franzy Innocent coached there and I sent a few players his way from my teams
Just because the town isn't the best doesn't mean the school sucks
Storrs isn't really a mecca - My father, mother and son all went to UConn but they also loved Eastern

I agree, just as with UConn - the Eastern Campus has been pretty much transformed. If you haven’t seen it in the last few years - you would be surprised.

It’s like in football, the stud DL dude is the toughest get. Same in basketball, there are more athletic small guys than big dudes.

Having said all that, Coach Hurley will reel in some big tuna in (to use a Chill term)! I am confident of that from what I have been able to observe. The Jersey boy has a plan - start the buzz with the guards (I call it the dam break) and the Bigs will follow.

I’ve really prided myself on becoming fluent in chief-even as a casual fan. I have faith. 1 recruit will definitely burst the dam (as predicted) then its onto the subsequent flooding.

Thanks as always chief

Great school. I did my undergrad there in the 80's. Dr Rhona Free was my advisor and I worked for her for two years as a research assistant. Now she is running St Joe's and hired JC to start a BB program. A lot of good has come from that school down the road from Storrs. 30 years later is still miss $2 pitchers and playing foosball at Blarneys.

Lots of memories drinking $2 pitchers and playing foosball at Blarney's. And you are right you would not recognize the place if you haven't stopped by in a bunch of years.

It all starts with a vision and as Coach Hurley says “being unrealistic”. Then do the grind, following the plan. Good things break out.

And there it is.....the Chief hedge. The dam break is now defined as one guard committing. Real visionary there Chief.

I am going to go on record here as well. Someone will commit to UConn at some point. My good friend Danny will get it done just like my old good frien Jim used to get it done. Blazing and grinding and all that......

I am your new insider

I thought this was a thread about Bouknight?

While many are focused on Kwintin’s dunks, Chief was pleasantly surprised last season that KW worked really hard at boxing out. I wish KO gave him more PT. It’s nice that Coach Hurley recognizes the benefits of his physical play.

 

[Chief00]

It was until Chief made it about Chief.

Sorry - did not mean to do that - did have a few question I was answering from BY colleagues.

He and his fluffers are doing that a lot lately.

KW was the only player who played hard v Auburn last season.

And how many minutes did he get the next game?

Why not? If the shoe fits?

I personally don't understand it. I don't know who is or is not connected on this site. Calling me a Casual Fan would probably place me above my weight class. But I do enjoy Chiefs posts. Unlike the Chaters he doesn't get mean and negative, which puts him five miles ahead of them.

Having had a long successful career forecasting markets around the world, i know that even with the best information it is hard. If you are over 50% you have a job. My impression he is over 50%.

LOL.

The next game was Wichita St where he played zero minutes. I actually agree with you on this. KW can provide a spark that can energize the team and KO underutilized him.
