We lost out on Selby, Joseph and Knight and thought we were screwed....then came this kid named Bazz...

I want kids who want to be here and play for the name on the front...that's it.

Yeah, except Beatty was our next Bazz...
 
We have a terrible team at the worst time and HD sees this. Lack of guard development with Purvis and crappy conference actually perfectly combined into a witches brew that made it relatively easy for Calzone outrecruit UCONN.

UCONN not in a good place right now and perception is down a lot.

Results since the National Championship have been quite bad lately.
 
Maybe Diallo's announcement this afternoon is delayed because the wifi on the UConn charter plane to Memphis is not working?!;)
 
UConn can go get a David Beatty any day of the week. And we don't really need another not-really-a-point-guard with an iffy outside shot - we have that covered in spades.

If we get Diallo, we get Diallo. He wouldn't make a difference this season and I'm not going to lose sleep over a one-and-done.

Not buying the 'silent verbal' nonsense. It's been beyond clear that he was not committed to attending UConn (or anyone else) to this point.

This "give your word" stuff is just hurt feelings. And implying you would do things differently is meaningless because you'll never be in a comparable situation.

agreed... people here are acting like not getting diallo is the downfall of this program, we get him great if not it says nothing about ollie... we've had several consecutive years of top rated classes... what we need are some talented bigs to come in a play and a shooter
 
I am thinking that if he told reporters he was going to announce today, then he meant it. Otherwise it's probably just garbage made up to get clicks by U.K. Homers.

But if diallo said this to the press and hasn't announced, it means he's rethinking and having a tough time deciding. Good for UCONN.

The only one who knows it hamidou and his family. Whatever happens, happens. I'm not gonna sweat it.

Alright here we go. He can't shoot so he couldn't help this year although some defensive "rumors" make him somewhat impactful to this year's team but let's not get crazy. He can dunk and he can play D we would've had a shot, His reason for being here used to be some thing worth while to UConn fans but now who give's a crap. I mean to weigh UConn vs UK who can'r beat us? Screw him and Cal we own him I could care less who he gets we play him later, we beat him and outcoach the piece of crap as always. But of course I have "freshman and they didn't grow up" BS because he's overrated always makes itself known.

Hamid got played - NEXT bad move leave him be get the next best player that wants to play here screw him!!!!!!!!!!

To give everyone and idea of what KO was thinking. On the official to UCONN they were talking about classes he was going to take, and uniform numbers. Everyone including Diarra thought he was coming. No one in the program saw this coming

No one in the program saw this coming? Is this a joke? If you had eyes and could look at UConn's current product without bias you'd have known the answer weeks ago.

, slow your roll dude. Beatty looks like a nice player but you're going way, waaaaaay over the top.
Expand ...

I wasn't actually comparing him to Bazz as a player. Just a figure of speech in reply to RayRay's comment, I'm saying that he was our next less-heralded guard recruit, who purportedly wanted to be a Husky (AKA "Bazz"). The fact that this player actually existed in the 2017 class... because right now we don't have any 2 guards.

I am going to suggest a radical idea here that maybe down right crazy, but here it goes:

maybe we should wait to see where Hamidou actually commits before acting as though him going to UK is a done deal?

It's dragged out so long that I don't even care anymore. I hope he comes here but whatever. We'll find someone else if he doesn't.

Seth Davis Promoting UCONN over Kentucky in Diallo sweepstakes:

"Diallo has about another week to decide what he’s going to do. It is increasingly likely that he will be at a college campus soon, but it is not entirely clear whether he will go there to practice with the team and train in preparation for the draft, or whether he will be on the court in uniform as well. From what I am hearing, I think it is possible he could end up at Kentucky—but if he is, he will probably not play for this year’s team. If Diallo insists that’s what he wants to do, it will be hard for John Calipari to tell him no—but he should do it anyway. Adding a player like this could disrupt the team’s chemistry, and Diallo himself may be so far behind that he’d only have a limited impact anyway. In other words, the potential downside is a lot bigger than the potential upside. That wouldn’t be the case at UConn, which is struggling badly and could use the help.

Can Capel cement his status as Coach K's successor?
