He was disappointing because some thought he would eat thunder and crap lightning.
I wasn't disappointed.

Hey 7774,
What I meant was that a vigorous campaign to attempt to reverse the post-season BE ban would be more logical with a supremely laudable winning regular season result than an anti-climactic 9-9 win-loss as was direly predicted by the BE coaches, which a 9-9 is not much to crow and fret about. I am not saying that the reversal would succeed but it would be much more justifiable under that superb win-loss scenario vindicated by the excellent 2o11-12 student-athletes academic grades that had been reported to the NCAA long time ago. Perhaps now the BE presidents would be more sympathetic to Susan Herbst and W. Manuel. If we missed the boat, fine, but isn't it nice to lend some credence to a grand picture in the realm of all possible schemes? They let Syracuse play in the post-season despite an NCAA ban, why not wish no less for our beloved Huskies? I remember Shabazz wailing about: "Why punish us? We don't belong to that period?" He was right.

Yes, many of us were thankless fools. The guy-boy did not even pay tuition money. Too classy to steal M. Bradley's tuition lunch.

I said that AD made the right choice no matter how his career turned out, if your guaranteed a lottery pick you go. Selfishly I wanted AD to come back. I pictured AD situation to be that of Andrew Bynum's his first couple of years. I did expect him to play like this just not this fast.
We gotta stop getting into what ifs with AD and tell ourselves what is.

People laughed at me when I said Andre was one of the top 2 guys in the draft. As a Celtic fan I was hoping they would package their draft picks, etc to get Andre. Apparently, they were scared off by this ridiculous motor talk. For all the reasons discussed previously there was not the usual stability on the UConn team last year - and AD was a Freshman.
Overlooked it the solid job Coach Vaughn has done with him.

A back injury kept the man they call “The Big Penguin” mostly grounded until preseason rolled around. But it’s safe to say nothing’s holding him back now
“I’ll tell you what, (Drummond) went from a guy who didn’t understand screening at all, to now becoming arguably our best screener,” Frank said. “You see the progress made and you love his effort, his spirit, his makeup.
