Can we hang onto our commits for eleven months?

[Duncan Idaho]

Separately, no, but a literate recruiter can make the cumulative effect sound like the sky is falling.

Conversely we can say we have a new, dynamic President, Athletic Director, Assertive Head Fund Raiser. There is a high level of achievement across the entire athletic department. The entire campus is new with more/new athletic facilities to be completed by 2014. We have a top 20 Public University which is only going to get more competative while citing 30k applicants for 3k slots...Like Pendergast said, UConn is hot right now! I see UConn becoming even more attractive in the future.

Well, since you said it three times no point arguing it then.

Yup.......... and not only that, you're going to remember that lyrical prose and what it means forever now too.

both were given 3* by 247sports before they committed to uconn this weekend. people here need to start getting used to that site. they don't give us a great look becuase uconn fans aren't using it much. several fan bases have moved internet boards to ones at 247 recently and seem to be extremely happy about it. were one of the few on 247 that has no real home page with news or board. the capabilities are like here but u pay for good stuff etc. they are quickly becoming better than rivals as more people see whats up.

Fair point. I do look at 24/7. In fairness, it might also be nice if they reciprorcated and acknowledged we had 2 commits in our 13 class .

FWIW, I didn't disagree with it. Just glad to know that if I make my point about our former head coach three times in succession, it then ends the debate!

The three time repeat is powerful memory tool, but probalby doesn't stand up as a good basis for argument in a legal brief.......but oh no, you didn't go there...... for heaven's sake......

Can we get the powers that be to change the words "former head coach" and any other similar phrases, let alone the actual fore, and surnames to be changed into "Pabst Blue Ribbon", or something? Like the Syracuse / Tampa Bay thing?

"just glad to know that if I make my point about Pabst Blue Ribbon three times in succession, it then ends the debate?"

I like that better.

I hear that if you look in the mirror and and say "Randyman" five times times, he appears.

i thought if you say pabst blue ribon in the miror five times the tv show cops shows up at your house?

That is a good reason to never, ever say Pabst Blue Ribbon in the mirror 5 times.

Right.

And good players want to go where they see other good players going.

 

[businesslawyer]

Right.

And good players want to go where they see other good players going.

O.K. That time I laughed.

 

[HuskyBandDad]

Right.

And good players want to go where they see other good players going.

and where they can play as soon as possible - and yea I laughed too.

 

[Dann]

this is why this board needs to be careful with talking about locals. in some threads things get way out of hand. this thread wasn't bad at all but just the topic made kids pay attention.

‏ @ImSoFarSoGone
@HuskyfanDan I saw a post on the "boneyard" about keeping the commits. Just wanna assure you that I'm not even looking anywhere else #uconn

 

[FAIRTIDES]

You're over thinking this. Good recruiters will make their competition sound like crap regardless of what is going on.

True, but it's better if a school isn't loading the competition's 30-round magazines with "crap" bullets. Lies and similar BS can be countered with demonstrable truth and by calling attention to institutional/program benefits and features. "Truth" is hard to sell around because, to do it honestly, requires promises about the "after" i.e., reselling the dream.

 

[epark88]

Okay, the Randyman thing and the beer thing isn't working for me. I am highly upset.

What gives?...
