This “It’s Kansas” take is such a bizarre stance to double down on. There’s actually another college basketball program in the same state that does it even bigger than the Shockers do.
and, ya know, for the very real bitness of basketball, the bitness al has been pursuing his entire life, and knows no other, these are very wise facts to help him take one more shot at the big leagues, where, I hear, they pay a lot of money. maybe catch lightning in a bottle. tate george did. 1 shot.
Yea, the middle of Kansas is so different than the City of Storrs.
Could have really enjoyed The Wizard of Oz
First of all spell Storrs correctly , not like grocery, Secondly , Wichita is definitely bigger than the town of storrs ; but I wasn’t talking about the campus itself I was talking about the entire region and the chance to play in the NYC metro area/Big East as opposed to playing in cornfields(I know he’s not really playing in Cornfields so please don’t respond to that ) Why are you defending the state of Kansas over ct/northeast - You really think the culture of Kansas is equal to the culture of CT/northeast? I just think it’s a really strange move that’s all - most people on the board do. He has every right to go wherever he wants to of course - I honestly would’ve thought a team from our conference wud be the last place he wud want to go - then throw in the fact it’s in the middle of Kansas - last time I’ll say it - it’s strange - end of discussion.
Maybe but Alterique has some pretty good people advising him, Hurley etc. I wouldnt think he would go against everyone to choose Wichita. Its also very difficult to say if this is a good choice or not until after he finishes next year. A lot of people said Cockburn made the wrong decision when he went to Illinois, that ended up pretty well.
Culture of the region? Really? Alterique is going to play college basketball for a year, not buying tickets to a Broadway show. Being handed the keys to one of the most successful programs of the last decade or so is an incredible opportunity for a grad transfer — and one that we should all be so happy to see AG getting — and there’s nothing even remotely strange about Alterique jumping at a chance to get major minutes for a coach Dan Hurley clearly respects at a winning program.
It's not strange at all, he's an adult looking for his best fit. Not a wide-eyed 17 year old kid. Adults starting out go where they feel career is best served, "culture" isn't at the top of the list especially for just a year.
Actually, yes it is.
Yes, I know the rule. It’s a game.
Obviously we all know it's a farce, but Al still has to find a major they offer that UConn doesn't
I'm betting he finds one. In fact, I bet he knows already.
Of course he will, took me 15 seconds of googling to find 3 options
Yeah I see his point now with his second post. We all know it's all about basketball in the end but they still have to fake it which was my point
