I like how we don't recruit kids like whitehead, no punks, just winners.

I love and respect UConn, but we've had our punks. Probably none as abrasive as Whitehead, but we've had our share of arrests. Almost every major team deals with it.

And it doesn't make Whitehead a bad kid. Olander, Marcus W, AJ Price are all good guys. Young guys make mistakes. Let's not pretend that we wouldn't welcome Whitehead to UConn with open arms haha The kid can play.

Call me batsheet insane, but I would rather our team suffer than add Whitehead. Actually, no matter how talented he is I think he would probably make the team worse than it would be without him.

Whitehead would honestly make our team worse

I respect you opinion, but I could not fathom a scenario, where I would want UConn to struggle. There's always 2 sides to every story, and it's never a good look to prematurely judge another without getting to know that person first hand.

Um, no
 
Willard throwing shade at Gibbs and Jared Sina:



I guess that "pressure" in this case refers to the difficulties of playing for an incompetent, out-of-his-depth buffoon like Kevin Willard.
 
No pressure at UConn, we don't expect to win championships since we only have 4 in the past 16 years.

"Some guys' fathers take assistant coaching jobs on our staff, and some don -- wait, what was the question?"

He probably didn't mean it as a negative. I think he made the same comment when Gibbs transferred to Seton Hall.
 
Willard is a trash coach who let a bunch of freshman thugs takeover his team. Gibbs made the right move getting out of that situation and I honestly feel a little bit bad for SHU fans in general.
 
Which guy is more difficult to take serious, Willard or Zags? Both are clowns.

Turns out the answer is Zags. He took the tweet down because, as it turns out, he completely misrepresented the context of Willard's quote. He was not talking about players who had transferred when he made that comment.

Exactly. The context of the quote was Willard saying there is an added element of pressure on NJ kids who stay home and attend one of the local schools and "some guys can handle it, some guys can't." Nobody with half a brain thinks that is the reason why Sina and Gibbs left Seton Hall.

I was surprised to see how often Nolan couldn't even get the ball to the rim and got stuffed. I didn't realize till after the season, that he was suffering from plantar fasciitis. That might explain why his hops were underwhelming...I hope so.

I didn't realize that. That could explain a lot.
 
Met Gibbs at Teds last night. Crazy nice guy. I just wished him good luck this year and he bought me a shot, which is pretty rare considering that I've always seen most basketball players expecting other people to buy them drinks.

Alright Rip what kind of shot and did he do one also? Like him already but the real question is did you buy him one? That will tell me how much I like you. :D

He and Facey both brought a friend so who knows.

Took a lot for me to not make any joke about Arcidiacono
