Did Newton commit?

"Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up a UConn way
Where fans bash Rudy Gay
Tristen the night away

Here they have a lot of fun
Keepin' teams on the run
Man, you find the old and young
Tristen the night away"

Not for nothing, but if he is a creative guy and has a sense of humor, on what other fan message board can he read what is on the BY?

I've look at a few other of these message boards, and they are pretty dry.

Of course, I hope the meal at Fleming's agreed with him and his parents over the next couple of days afterwards. :)

Anyone else think Newton’s 3 point shooting is an issue? Just can’t have another subpar deep threat with AJ on the floor.

Ha, ya think?

That will be nice but we need a lot more after.
 
Slater is killing me.... Why did he have to say have a *** newton, like he has to be giving it away this time, was perplexed by the last one but this feels more on the nose

You can’t leave him alone shoot from 3 or he will make you pay unlike Jackson or Whaley. Also Cole shot 33.9 percent last season and Newton 33.3.

I have 2 main thoughts about it.

1) I think at his free throw % (career 85% on over 300 attempts), it's difficult to shoot much worse over an extended period, which makes me think it's predominately things like shot selection and having to force offense because of bad teammates. Those 2 things are fixable for the former and inevitable if he comes here for the latter.

2) Sometimes just number of attempts will tell you how good a shooter is. If he's taking that many and not getting benched, that means both and his coach are confident in his ability. Newton took 144 last year, almost 5 a game. Whaley and Jackson took about 60 total each, 2 a game. They're not confident shooters because their true ability is less and they know it. So attempts can tell me how good a shooter thinks he is, which sometimes can be more predictive than the amount they actually make over smaller samples.

The problem is, for us, his commitment announcement will not be "news". We all think we know it already. So it won't make us feel any better if he commits. If he doesn't commit... well, let's just hope he commits.
