Daniels/Boatright Decision

[johnhuskies95]

Has anyone seen Jahii Carson play and can compare their games? He's about the same size as Boat I think and projected as 2nd round talent.

Carson has the quickest first step of anyone I've ever seen. He's extremely talented but also very erratic. Really fun to watch.

It's only a poor decision if they view it as NBA or bust. I've gotten the sense over the years that Boat wouldn't mind making 6 figures over in Europe next year if that's what it comes down to.

I think he'll give a few years trying to crack the league (NBDL). He's got a mentor who had to do the same thing (Ollie).

Boat and Daniels are both coming back. An announcement will be made today.

Source? I want a source....no, I demand a source! Okay, coming back to school to attend classes? Coming back to see their girlfriend's? (looking for sneakiness here).

Good god I hope your sources are correct. I don't like Chief's sources.

Unless something changes.

If both come back, what is everyone's expectations for next year? It probably makes us a top 10 team thus anything short of the Sweet 16 would be disappointing.

I expect to win the whole thing every year. Nobody does it better.

Let's get prematurely disappointed over next season already. My favorite thing.

 

[Rico444]

You have to imagine Boat and DeAndre will announce today or tomorrow to get more exposure, whatever the decision is.

 

[BankShot]

Both come back, I think anything less than an elite 8 would be disappointing. There is a good chance that SAMUEL, BRIMAH, CALHOUN are more productive next season than the last. That Daniels and Boat will be at worst the same players they just were, and the additions of a already proven talent in PURVIS along with very talented FROSH in Hamilton and Lubin AND the transfer Cassell Jr means UCONN is a top 10, maybe top 5 team throughout the season.

This will put us in line for another deep tournament run. Dominate our conference, do well in out of conference (3-1 vs Duke, Tx, Stan, and FLA) and 5# isn't out of the question.

I'd prefer to have proven, experienced and growing talent than what Kensucky, Kansas, and Duke are now doing, relying on the one and done to get them there.

Does italics make it true?

 

[Sibeerian]

Not if the players wouldn't be drafted before DD which neither Poythress or Black would have. That was my point. Me declaring and Poythress and Black declaring would have had the same effect on DD's decision.

That depends, what is your wingspan?

Nobody hates the Red Sox except Communists. We are America's team.

 

[SixRings]

This is the grouchiest thread I have ever read. Go two weeks without winning a NC and everyone becomes irritable here.

 

[boba]

Poythress is staying in school because he's not a very good basketball player. Hell of an athlete though. Relies on that advantage for most of his production.

Might also be staying because he's a good student (gasp! That happens at Kentucky?!) and wants to finish his degree, which he will in three years. Emphasis on might because I don't have the same sources as Chief. (The voices in my head just sing German folk songs.)

I wouldn't mind making 6 figures over in Europe either.

People are so funny. They act like it's some sort of travesty that these kids play overseas.

Actually, the Cubs are truly America's team. The Red Sox are most of New England's team. Not in CT, however, where the Yanks have 43% while the Sox have only 36% according to QU's poll.

Brimah having shoulder surgery and a 4 month rehab has severely dampened my expectations for him next year. Really hard to make jumps without an offseason, especially for a guy so new to the game.

Fair enough, but if he was a solid first rounder, I'm guessing he'd be gone.

Since when do Americans back perennial losers??

 

[CAHUSKY]

I've got Spud Webb's height , Charles Barkley's physique and the wingspan of an alligator.

Is the requirement to be America's team based on losing streaks?
