Desmond Conner : Pasqualoni walked into a train wreck

[UConn9604]

I've heard of walking into a buzzsaw, but how do you walk into a trainwreck?

There's a trainwreck, and then you . . . walk into it?

That's a good question. A better one is, has "trainwreck" officially joined the Boneyard vernacular, alongside "execute," "doomed," "beg harder," "trailers," "dream job" and "Syracuse Bay"?

I think it has.

"dumpster fire"

It would be grounds for dismissal if we had another able body.

We can play last years starter if we had to.

And he could be ready in about 20 minutes.

Don't forget "wallpaper"

DIf he wins a game oes anyone think PP should get another year if we finish out:

0-4? 1-3?
4-8 is a firable offense with Buffalo, WM, Umass, Maryland, Fruit, sPitt, Temple, NCST as 8 games favored where are already 3-3 and LV, Rut, Cin, USF as fight to win games and are 0-1. So 3 of last 4 games are against expected toughest opponents and don't see us winning any of these the way we are currently playing.

If the team wins no more games then I think keeping him will be almost impossible. If UConn wins a game or two then I see him staying with coaching staff being changed some.

He isn't beating out Whitmer in the next 2 years. By that time we'll have someone else, possibly the Texas kid ready to step in. I saw Cochran only once I admit, but he looked pretty ordinary to me. A marginal D1 talent. Slow footed in particular. He was recruited to keep up ties with the Connecticut high school coaches. It was an investment, not a true talent search. It may well have paid off with some of the local kids who are now looking at UConn but didn't before.

I saw him a few times in high school and never thought he was ordinary at all. He works hard and can make all the throws. He is a leader which is his biggest strength in my opinion.

He wasn't great overall, but I thought CC showed some good things at the spring game. Remember, he was the equivalent of a HS senior then. He was the clear #2.

What's good?

just curious, why does it bother you so much that he says "what's good?"

It doesn't bother me. But it typifies his one word answers and alot of his reporting.

One more win should not bring back the PP and GDL duo. We've paid at least $2,500,000 for them to give a history class on how things were done at Syracuse. Take your gift bags and hit the road.
