Wow, so happy for Brendan! He was able to shine at GW (17.4p, 55.6 2P%, 38 3p%, 83.5 FT%) in his extra year of eligibility and how he's getting his shot.

So easy to root for, even not in a UConn uniform. He graduated in 3 years before he went to GW, which is impressive in its own right.You're a math teacher so I'll let the improper possessive slide
Adams is my favorite transfer we've ever had that I can remember. He put in the work in and out of the classroom to be successful. My wife had him in a summer class... he works as hard as any non-athlete. Best of luck to him on and off the court.

Originally an A10 recruit, represented himself and the UConn program well, settled into the A10 level and excelled. He took full advantage of the whole student-athlete experience and earned two degrees.
It’s not necessarily a very memorable moment for anyone else, but I always liked that he presented Hurley with the game ball for his 200th win. Brendan wasn’t playing much by that time, but he wanted to do it. He also passed up an opportunity to score in that game, in the few minutes he did play, by getting the ball to Springs, so he could get his first college basket. It’s the little things I appreciate.

It's not improper. You're clearly an adherent of the Chicago Manual of Style, which calls for an "s" after the apostrophe in all cases but biblical names (e.g., Moses), but the AP's Style Book calls for the exclusion of that "s" for all proper names. And other style manuals are divided between those two camps, or have their own rules depending on, e.g., the first letter of the following word.

I just went down a rabbit hole on this. One weird exception is classical names always end in the apostrophe, no matter what you're doing... like ' or Socrates'... except in MLA? It's weird and seems rather silly.
Normally I can help on these. But not on grammar.Whoa...is there a nerd arbitrator in the house?

Tenacity either. No quit. Never stopped believing in himself. Inspirational like CV, Boat, Bazz and so many other Uconn guards or guys like Hilton and Niels Giffey.He never lacked confidence.
