For those carrying recruiting grudges...

"Southern held a 72-64 lead with 2:33 left in the game before Mississippi State went on an 8-2 run and cut the Jaguars' lead to 74-72 with 1:33 left in the game. Mississippi State freshman Malik Newman missed two free throws with 46 seconds left with the Bulldogs trailing 74-72."

Wasn't he suppose to be with Stone and always hyping himself.... I am sorry I am calling shenanigans on all these SEC schools getting these top 100 recruits. UNless the "100 dollar handshakes" is making a comeback. Howland was a washout at UCLA but now about to pull in top 6 class. Pearl was a Rat and then joined the dark side before getting out of purgatory and joining Auburn. Alabama at #9??????

I had been thinking about this recently and I can completely see how some of these SEC schools could potentially close on high level recruits. If they can sell their program as an alternative to Kentucky's dominance in the conference (especially with Billy D out of UF now) and the lure of being able to maybe topple them on occasion, I could imagine how some young kids who are already from the south might want to go there. If you lead with SEC football, warm weather, coeds, big dreams of being the team to beat UK and more boosters with jobs for parents and such, you'll probably do alright on the recruiting trail.

I mean, he did say that about Stone but MSU is where his father played and more or less his hometown.

As for his bad game, he did have turf toe? some foot injury, from what I read.

Howland made a handful of Final 4s and put a ton of guys - legit stars - into the league.

Plus have you seen SEC co-eds? Only time I regret going to UConn is when I'm watching college gameday from like Tuscaloosa or Gainesville. It's incredible.

Enoch does not see the floor and Adams struggles against UNH, I guess Fishy probably thinks these guys stink too.

The idiocy of this thread cannot be understated.

I'm still disappointed we didn't land Ike Diogu

Yeah! And you know what, Calhoun never really addressed the burning question of why we didn't recruit Ryan Gomes.

Brimah played a total of 25 minutes in the 2014 FF, had 2 points, 5 boards and 3 blocks. Yes, he was dominant.

Thanks for your interest in Connecticut basketball

Yes, but it can be overstated.

• Prince Ali with 12 points last night
• Josh Sharma looks to be a project at this point, but wouldn't be surprised if he ends up a good 3-4 year player
• @Ricker was really high on Jalen Adams' Brewster teammate David Crisp, and seems like he was right on the money. Only two games so far, but he's been pretty good, averaging 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists
• Traci Carter with 5 points in a loss to Iowa last night
• Ray Kasongo with 4 points and a rebound last night
• Jabarie Hinds seems to be having a very good senior year with 22 points and 6 assists a game, shooting 48% from 3
  
• Malik Newman with 15 points last night
• Jeff Newberry with 9 points and 6 rebounds last night
• Djery Baptiste hasn't been playing for Vanderbilt, but I'm not sure why. Maybe a redshirt year?
• Justin Simon and Chance Comanche seem to be at the end of the bench for Arizona this year too.

Jabarie Hinds. Now that's a blast from the past. We should all thank him everyday for effectively pushing Boatright out of WVU and eventually to UConn. Thanks Jabarie!

Chris Clarke has put up some good numbers so far for Buzz and the hokies. Averaging 11 points and 7 boards through his first two games.
