A lot to process here. I guess Banchero and the grandson could learn from Tank about fleeing a crime scene
 
Had to google who this even is. Looks like he’s facing a jury next year on 14 counts for a hit and run. Could be facing prison time

You guys are too funny. No one dislikes Duke and K more than me, but what difference does it make who he brings in. Sometimes a message from someone who has experienced things hits harder. Wether or not Tank is a good person or not or have learned from his mistakes is anyone’s guess, but if OJ can change the direction of our football team, I’m bringing him in. That’s just me.

Davis has made poor decisions but is also a young man from a poverty-stricken area. In my book, he has plenty of time to turn his life around. As someone who follows his career, I would hope that if ten years from now he was visiting the Huskies I would say, “yes, that makes sense, he is a guy who made bad decisions in his early twenties but totally turned his life around”. The thing is that he is still actively dealing with the consequences from his decisions so it just seems bizarre especially given the arrests of players earlier this year
 
From The Baltimore Sun. The charges include failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving bodily injury, failure to render reasonable assistance to an injured person, driving on a suspended license and related charges.

What kind if guest speaker is that? Nice example coach K.
This just happened in October . Don't comprehend.
 
I'm sure Coach K's point was decisions have consequences. And how bad ones can ruin your life and hurt others

Sure. We have a great speaker with ties to our program that teaches the same lessons. Even Kimani is a great example of that. I'm sure it's something that our program uses to help develop these young men all the time.

Pretty odd to have a guy who is in the midst of dealing with those consequences and has shown little to no remorse (or changed his actions at all) come in to speak to the team. Gervonta was arrested, what, 6 months ago? And has had run-ins with the law off and on for years now. The guy might do a nickel or more if convicted next year on his trail from the hit and run last year. And let's not forget the half a decade of sporadic assault and battery charges.

Gervonta Davis has hardly shown remorse or grown from his actions like Kimani and Maurice Clarett have. THOSE are the role models that kids should be hearing from.

I think his point was that Duke is in a lot (some) of Husky fans heads, not a knock on the moderators.

Two FF losses to UConn. We're in their heads plenty.

I'll be honest, they're in my head too. I get sick of them bringing in 5* recruits every year, always being in the national title talk, Dickie V. on their you-know-what, and them being coached by a mole person. All if that makes beating them even sweeter.

Strange choice from a strange person who has never been driving a straight line, the press and Dickie V be damned.
If it works fine but in my mind all he is doing is justifying to himself for playing his best player without thinking about any punishment
To each their own
K will be gone soon :p

lol what?!!! He was arrested for assaulting his gf and the hit and run charges are from last year. I dont know if hes a good or bad person but hes prone to bad decisions. He is not someone id want my kids taking any advice from. Its ok to make mistakes and turn your life around and try to share your experience with the younger generation but when youre actively acting a fool youre not doing anyone any good because you look like a hypocrite.

That was exactly my point… lol

K is untouchable in college basketball. After retirement he will assume his place in Heaven right alongside the lord only appearing now and then on ESPN or CBS at tournament time where the fawning and compliments will be nonstop. And of course his 5 stars have him sitting pretty in the present for this season. I’m sure there are UCONN fans that don’t hate him but I’ve just never known one.
 
I'm curious what Coach K does after college coaching. A real basketball guy would take a job at some less stressful school. Maybe even DII or DIII.

K may have all kinds of unusual opportunities because of his stature in and out of basketball. Opportunities like Presidential Cabinet member. Cabinet member is definitely a stretch, but some significant non basketball position. Corporate board member.... maybe a significant role on the US Olympic team or committee. Something like that.

I would be unimpressed if he just became a TV commentator or analyst. JC did that for a minute, but quickly moved on.

It would also be understandable if he did nothing. Just chilled and played golf or whatever.

Love this one. The other guy's assault charge was the reason for the change? What about the 14 charges against Davis?

"On October 6, 2021, Davis announced that he would be facing undefeated former WBA interim lightweight champion Rolando Romero on December 5 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Showtime PPV.[70] However, Romero was pulled from the bout due to sexual assault allegations made against him, and was subsequently replaced with Isaac Cruz.[71]"

Please! Hope he chills and plays golf and does nothing, cause if he is any kind of analyst or cbb commentator I will tune him out. If he does a UConn game there is always radio with TV. That sucks also but it's a better alternative.
