I have been told that the a typical timeline for a film project to be completed is six years. So when did you first hear abuot "Tuff Juice?"

My favorite UConn player not to win a 'ship after Ray. Hard worker. Would love another Caron guy on the team now, thought Cobb could have fit the bill. Well a slightly less bad @$$ version of Caron but still. But, not quite

Cobb?? Not even close by any metric.
Caron always had loads of basketball talent, the question was whether he could keep himself alive or out jail long enough to capitalize on that talent.

Maybe he is talking about the hard work? Not sure of his back story. Wish Zach brown wasn’t such a damaged kid I felt ko, at the time, would have been exactly what a kid like that would have needed. He is someone I saw with Caron potential as far as a success story.

Dear Lord! Someone made a trip over the border to the Massachusetts weed dispensary last night, huh?

Ya .....I live Mexico now and don't smoke weed. Not sure why some ppl on this board are so keen to be so rude sometimes...winter in CT too cold for you? Lighten up. Sometimes I don't miss CT!

 

[Travelman6]

Wha?!?

I was talking about the hard work to turn things around...sorry for having an opinion? GO UCONN!

Leaving aside talent, I think the big thing, where they diverge so much, is maturity level. Caron came to UCONN a full grown man. He was an adult from day 1.

I'm not sure Cobb achieved that even yet. He made great strides this off season, but still, not sure.
