for the first time ever in uconn basketball

[YearoftheHusky]

I was wrong about wolf. Dont understand how we keep him but it seems so. I made my bazz bet way before the injury. How was i supose to know he was going to get hurt? Did u tell your friends we were going to wi. It in 09 before dyson got hurt?



If bazz doesnt get hurt and then goes pro and wolf doesnt come back my sship issue was completely possible and a scary issue for us. If u cant plan ahead and see all possibilites then your 5 fuc*ing years old. This whole board was to happy lucky. Im glad we are all set for next year and in good shape. But to ignore possibilities is a good example why this board went from great bball talk years ago to a clown dhow now where all we have is waiting for dogmania reviews and 99/3 updates.

Oh the irony.

 

[Huskyforlife]

with bazz and wolf back uconn goes from a top 25 team to f4 threat easy. arizona is a sleeper top me. look up the 1 stud recruit they have coming in. blake griffin 2.0. the scholar ship situation at uconn that i was preaching about was very real and possibly happening. those in the know recruiting wise saw KO make several back up plans the past 2 months in case of 1 or multiple things happening. i look like a clown here to the normal day posters who have no clue but to those who know things they understand me. i think uconn will land 2 recruits for the 2014 class this next month. that is all.




why do u come to the uconn board daily? serious question? you realize you are giving some uconn fan hits towards his site right? your pc education is funding a uconn fans sbus. is that what they teach u at pc? fresh year you take pope 101, english 101, health, s'ing uconn's d 101 and math 101. does your wife not have a nice enough rack so you come to stare at ours or something? i know our trophy case is racks on racks on racks but come on. do they even have rap songs in p-town? have pride in your piece of school and try to build your fanbase one washed up old man wrestling fan at a time BROTHER. WWWHHHHHOOO watch out for the CWO!!!!!!! the Cooley Wig Order brother!!!!!!!!!

Is it a bad sign if I agree with everything he just said? Just want to ask though, why do you think we pull 2 recruits in may?

Of course Ollie had backup plans. It was a real possibility that Shabazz might leave, but that's not what you were preaching. You were saying with 100% conviction that Napier was gone, no questions asked, and mocking anybody who dared to suggest that he might (and should) come back.

amazing. can u tell the future???? holy fuc*. please next time i tell you something please tell me if any injuries will effect things. how was i supose to know he would get hurt. he was having a great season until that point. you guys act like he got hurt then i procliamed he was going pro or something. but hey, u want the fuc*ing facts, here you go. THIS IS WHY THIS BOARD IS 10 LEVELS UNDER WHERE IT USED TO BE. everyone in the know, knows the following:

baz had a agent lined up #1 and was a first round lock. most thought late 1st but i thought his vision in workouts and runs would make him a late bloomer on boards. this type of thing has happened before with pg prospects. bazz was all ready to go into the injury. he hasn't been able to work out 100% doing his different plans and strenght regimns so it was decided he wouldnt be able to do well in nba workouts. so hes coming back. here is the trend the ppl in the know are looking at.

draft trends of players taken(guards)

2012:
pg-6 (4 1st rond)
sg-15 (8 1st round)
total-21

2011:
pg-15 (9 1st round)
sg-10 (4 1st round)
total-25

2010:
pg-6 (3 1st round)
sg-10 (6 1st round)
total-16

2009:
pg-18 (11 1st round)
sg-12 (6 1st round)
total-30

2008:
pg-9 (5 1st round)
sg-12 (5 1st round)
total-21

2007:
pg- 12 (5 1st round)
sg- 10 (7 1st round)
total-22

this draft we all know is weak at guard. but we also know due to past trends that many teams are going to draft a pg due to roster slots. the trend tells us that. the trend is clearly way up way down year by year. name the 10 best pgs in the draft? 15 best? 18 best? bazz had a very high % shot at being a 1st round pg pick. his health has changed things.

KO has been waiting to see what his roster will look like officially. he didn't know if he was working with 2, 3 or 4 ships for 2014 based on bazz and wolf coming back and needing a 4th 2013 recruit or another transfer or what. the roster is set now. hes now letting kids take serious visits. having 4 slots and if any one leaves early then 5 or 6 is going to allow ko to take a package deal or 2 recruits wise if he wants and the kids want to do it. i smell 2 verbals soon. maybe this board should all do a lambshake for good looks.

is Allen keeping his ship?

no unless a player just magically leaves and its close to season and we cant fill the ship elsewhere. hes back to walkon.

That's weird. Didn't you also say that Brendan Allen contributed to our scholarship issue as well?

On a related note, I now have very low expectations for whatever recruiting visits we have lined up for the month the May. If you're predicting 2 verbals, Hamilton and whoever else we get on campus will probably commit to UTEP while they're in KO's office.

what about allen???? what did i say? chesus this board is crazy. i may not give a about a keyboard but wtf are you guys talking about?!?!!?

congrats on your low expectations. i cna care less about one of the hamilton bros. if they come here great, i trust ko. but i'm not losing sleep over any of them. i have my eyes set on a group of 9 kids i really want and i think ko does also. i gave everyone a hint and it already is going over kids heads like like drones over iraq.

 

[thatguyed]

rpi somewhat matters, so we quickly get stanford and umasslol on the roster. bravo warde.

bc should never ever be given the opportnity to profit of our name i bball until we are of equal leagues. the nyc tney vs a trip elsewhere is a mothr fuc*ing joke. is msg important? is that our excuse? fine then play sju, they would s our d for a game.

md at barclays? i like it accept for the fct that no one is raveling to that with ms already on tilt. oh wait, we have a fotball game that night? yea butwho cares aout football right? not a ig deal 2 years in a row this has happened. just solid planing.


fyi-bazz is coming back.he can onl do 50%of hisworkouts and they feel he will not be ale to excell in nba workouts bsed off is injury struggles. he was a 1s round pick if healthy end of seson and now. ko will start taking verbals in may now with his roster set. i dont understand how or why, but wolf is going to get a slap and be here. hurley will keep calling tho.

f BC! knock down the HC and suck my PP!!!!!! how do u like me now?

note-congrats to superjohn

I get it not bothering with caps and all but could you please speak English?

I obviously have no intention of looking back through your thousands of posts to find the one about Allen. But you claimed that part of the reason why we would only have 2-3 scholarships available for 2014 is because there was no possible way we would take Allen's scholarship away.

Sometimes you just need to take a step back and breath.

ahh ok. i didn't realize you were talking not this thread. when i was going thru all the different options we had if bazz or wolf or both didn't come back i mentioned allen. the reason i mentioned him was we could award him a ship for the 2013-14 year, his jr year. that would eat one of the ships we had available but then allow us to drop him back to a walkon his sr year and then take that ship and fill it in 2014 with a recruit. my worry back then was not having enough ships in the 2014 class to truly reload if u will term wise. there is a rule with awarding walkons multiple years in a row of scholar ships i believ i was trying to confirm or understand which played into this also possibly having to allow him to keep it his sr year but i forget it all now.

if you look at this. my worry was before bazz got hurt he was gone, wolf legally we were not sure about and purvis was not in fold yet. if we dont land purvis transfer wise and wolf and bazz do leave then 11-13 need to be filled. but whats worse then finding a transfer, another 13 recruit or a grad kid like evans again was it could mess up our potential great 2014 class that KO had invested a lot of time with on the trail. so i was trying to explore all possible outcomes to see how we were going to get thru this. the purvis transfer no one knew about until it was already a done deal basically. it was a serious game changer roster wise. very happy about it as i think we all are. we are going to have 4 sr's so 4 slots to fill in 2014 class wise. if the bazz and wolf stuffed happened and we filled those ships this year, we would only have 2 ships to fill. big differnece, especially when your packaging certain kids. i am very happy with how things turned out, but i was way more worried than most it seems. carry on with my rip fest...

There's nothing sadder than what has happened to the quality of DD coffee over the course of the last 10 years or so.

Not to mention the donuts suck now. The crappy day-old pre-cooked donuts used to be at Bess Eaton.

McDonald's coffee is better and is less than 1/2 the price.

so coach P, warde and gdl walk into a bar

Bartender looks up and says, "What is this? A joke?"

dunkin donuts changed all of there trusted recipes the day warde took the uconn ad job. FACT

Actually it's when they started advertising it as "Arabica."

Arabica is 75-80% of the coffee produced in the world. You might as well have advertised that it was sold in cups and made with water.

Is this true? I'm heartbroken. Most of my fellow New Englanders living in Starbucks land, dream of the day when DD comes out here. I love those DD t-shirts that say "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks"

I've never seen a DD in San Diego. Do they actually exist out in CA?

On edit - I looked it up and for me, there's one located in Camp Pendleton - I'm guessing only military folks can get to it, not that I like DD enough to go see...

 

[seanmc94]

Somebody call the national guard; Bc hfd is killing the English language

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Shabazz was a first round lock, accordingly to absolutely no one on earth except the guy who doesn't understand how scholarships work.

There is nothing worse than a moron who thinks he's smarter than everyone else. At what point does this clown go back to being banned?

Just a joke in that they have failed twice already in California. Californians have shown little interest and yet they keep coming back. Just announced they'd like 30+ stores by 2015 in SoCal.

I hope they catch on, they are missed living out here and growing up in CT.
