Lock him up Danny! Not sure who we would even be looking at as a backup plan so this would be huge.

perhaps, but if Cam Spencer seems only interested in NIL money with disregard to any other factors that would be a clear indicator to Hurley and staff that he might not be good for the roster. I really would hope he isn't get paid more than Newton, Clingan, or Karaban.

Miami is famously NIL U.
Hope this isn't another Timberlake situation.

Just have him talk to Ray Allen...

Damn he’s great! Worked out not bad for him too.
That clip should be posted on every recruiting thread. It's so true. I spent my college years in a cold-weather city. Fall terms I was able to stay focused. Once we got to April in spring, however, it was much harder to keep focused on studies. I looked at a west coast school with a beautiful campus for grad school. Once I saw it, I knew that, as nice as it was, between the campus and weather, I would have been too distracted.

We have a great chance, awesome staff, great story, if he doesn't come, he doesn't come. Either way I'm ready to roll with the squad we have or get someone else to help. In Hurley we trust. That said, hope the kid signs, it would be a win-win. But if he goes for moneyball short term - good for him too. Can't really fault a kid whatever he decides.

If anyone from UConn's marketing department is reading this, please share this with your entire department. There is no better sales pitch for the University as a whole.
I wholeheartedly agree with Ray's sentiment, as did Nadav Henefeld, who fell in love with the beautiful campus in the middle of nowhere too.

Spencer's coming for his visit in a timely fashion, knowing that Andre's not returning and there are 30 plus minutes of playing time up for grabs. I think our chances are good.

Boring is good. I think it has helped UConn avoid recruiting certain guys who wanted those distractions as well. It's a filter. It lets in the right people and repels the wrong ones.

You think "trust us, this place is so freaking boring you'll have nothing to do but study" is a good sales pitch to your average 18 year old?

Good thing UConn isn’t looking for average
I don’t want the ones that want to be out downtown carousing anyway tyvm. Kentucky or Miami can have all of those guys.Good thing UConn isn’t looking for average
Study a little, work on your game a lot and party a little sounds perfect for someone who is driven and focused.

As the kids would say, "cringe."
I was referring to the idea that someone actually thinks this would be a good sales pitch outside of the basketball program.

Nope. Of course not. Are we trying to attract average 18 year olds, or those more willing than most to put in the time to stay eligible and work on their game?

Holy ufck I give up. The guy said this would be a good pitch for the university as a whole, which is what I was making a joke in response to. Not just the basketball team. Never mind. Good lord.
Yeah and I mean what does Ray Allen know anyway? Lollol
