I have to be honest; if we didn't need a player so badly, this is the type of kid that I would tell to get lost.

If you need this much "love", I'm guessing you're probably not a team-first kind of guy. Unfortunately, we can't continue to have 2 of our guards continue to play 40 per game each...

Tgat is not a factor at all. Hes not playing for anyone this semester.

He is not going to play this spring anyways.

Oh, my bad. I missed that part of it. I know we were talking about him being able to play as early as the Houston game.

Now that I know that, I guess I'm relatively clear about my feelings with the "stay tuned for my Saturday announcement" stuff. Whatever. I guess in Ollie I trust...

No real surprise if it's UK. Once Squid got involved it became the men against the boys. Also, if he picks UK, I hope posters will refrain from personal attacks against the kid.

I don't think he should be attacked at all for his choice. I do have feelings though about the 5 o'clock thing given the relationships here. It is very bad advice from someone to do that.

I don't think there is anything more lame on this board than when people try to rationalize a kid as "anti-UConn" when it becomes clear that he's not going to come here.

I'm expecting this site to be a dumpster fire at 5 if he doesn't come here. So many personal attacks already and that's only at the possibility of him not coming

The players and Ollie are probably 99% sure of where he is committing. he isn't d*****' them around, kids just like doing these sort of announcements. its an emotional moment for him, he is doing it at the gym where he first stared playing organized ball.

You may be right, but you can't make this assumption. It's not just that 99 is telling us in this thread that as of right now, they do not know. It's that I've seen repeatedly in the past in similar circumstances that the losing coaches learned when the player pulled the hat routine. This has been going on for awhile I can cite several instances when the coaches learned as it happened. In other words, you may be right, but it is pretty common for kids to pull this stunt. I just think it is unnecessary.

That's a big assumption. Given Oz's optimism. I think KO believes he's still in it. And if he's not hami should at least tell him. KO is a man of integrity I highly doubt he'd leak the info to anyone

Kentucky fans actually gave him much worse a week ago. Someone here linked to that thread. It was not pretty. In other words, it is unbecoming for sure. But, I doubt the kids take it seriously. Obviously.

It's not happening dude. He is taking his talents to Kentucky and we are just going to have to accept it. Who would want to play for this crappy coach?

You sound balanced


That crappy coach did something boeheim, Self, Miller and Crean could not. Run neck and neck with Kentucky for an Uber elite recruit

Oh wow great accomplishment! UConn is 5-9. This has been the same crap for 3 years now post Shabazz. We can't finish in the top 3 of the AAC while having the most talented roster in the conference. This has been bad basketball for 3 years now. I'm sick of it.

You think this is bad, imagine how we would look with another coach who can't recruit any talent. Whiny bandwagoners have no idea how much worse things could get.
