great Ollie/Adams tweet

[husky99]

Adams said Ollie texted him last night, told him he'd be taking red-eye to see him: "That's what I love about him. He's a real loyal guy."

But was he vocal on the sideline?

 

[Hugo]

Well, if I were KO I'd be doing the same thing. With Boat leaving, it is crucial that Adams is here next year and ready to step into a position where he will be THE key player on the team. Nobody, including the current team members or potentially Stone, is more important for us next year. Without him we are ---------- (fill in the blank).

The entire staff needs to kick up the recruiting intensity into high gear, its just unfortunate that 95% of the class is already committed, hopefully it's not too little too late.

 

[Kitaman]

We still need another reliable ballhandler. Adams next year is not better than this years Boat. I just don't want a repeat, please Coach.

Perhaps a juco?

Or Purvis, Terrence, D-Ham, and Sam become better ball handlers.

Is Enoch our backup big man?

Yes to stone

 

[uchusky32]

Yes to stone

99 stop teasing!

 

[BoatShow]

I'm honestly happy with Enoch and what he will to our frontcourt will be GREATLY needed next year. Stone would be icing on the cake. Obviously there are other ramifications of nabbing top5 recruit as far as perceptions of a program and planting that seed (to quote KO) in the heads of other top recruits for years to come.

 

[scrappy2.0]

Yes to stone

Stone would be brimahs back up

Hearing uconn is third behind Maryland and Wisconsin.

You mean the other way around?

Thanks for the update. I'm sure you heard the same as I did that the staff is hopeful & still trying, but has back up plans incase. I wish I knew what/who they we're, but i'm not in the loop like that.

Maybe they will get better but I doubt it.

LOL. Just idiotic.

By next year when Amida is 240+ I expect him to be a top 3 pivot in the Nation.

Scrappy you the Man!!

240 better be talking to his IQ

 

[scrappy2.0]

Scrappy you the Man!!

Weve seen great improvement in Amida this year. But I think(and hope) Amida understands that he needs he needs to gain a LOT of strength this off-season When Amida is 6-11 245 with some more fundamental experience to his game--then watch out.

For the 15 minutes he can stay on the court, with all of his foul issues.

Scrappy likes to get a little optimistic sometimes. I don't remember the beta version of scrappy, but 2.0 is certainly interesting and I'm excited to see what version 3.0 is like. I don't really know what a top 3 pivot in the Nation is, but I'm sure it's something good.

With that said 2.0 has a point. Brimah is improving. He's averaging 26 minutes per game, not the 15 you mentioned. He's going to have game like against Stanford where it's frustrating he can't stay on the court, but he is getting better.

If this does happen, I just hope it does more for him than it did for Nolan.

True! Actually its best just to say increased strength--even if he gains 7- 10 pounds but his body is 33% stronger a year from now with additional explosion.
