Diabolical lol

While it's not the fault of the kids who have signed already, is there really anyone in the current incoming class who's so good we can't let them go? I don't follow recruiting much at all, but the bits and pieces I did see indicated we were singing guys whose other options were essentially FCS schools or UMass.

Brass, no kids have SIGNED: they have given oral commitments (not binding), but signatures on dotted lines aren't official until received on National Signing Day in February. But, you knew that.

I though coaches were not allowed to talk to any recruits during the blackout period. Did Randy just admit to a violation

If an individual is not even a signed and compensated employee of an organization, can he receive a call and speak with the caller?

When listening to Crazy Bob's pressers, it was more like Diacobabble!

 

[UConnDan97]

At least he's planning on watching tape from last year at some point, unlike Diaco who didn't think anything that happened when he wasn't coach was relevant

I had completely forgotten about that! Holy crap, that guy was such a spaz...

 

[Husky25]

...if a player contacts a coach/school, they are allowed to talk.

What if the coach isn't there? Can the coach return a message?

I assume UConn did not break any rules. He knows how the game is played, but the NCAA (and its top administration) is so ack basswords, I'd be surprised if they didn't at least place a call to a 286 exchange.

BTW (and not to hijack the thread, but...), I heard that the NCAA does not actually have a rule against leaking playbooks to opponents. They literally have no jurisdiction over the Wake Forest situation.

This is why Nick Saban has a "shadow staff" at Bama. They do all sorts of crap outside the rules, as they are not actual coaches.

Yeah, wrong verbiage. I meant committed.

 

[uconndogs]

I'm about the same age as Edsall.......and over the last 10-15 years I've learned a few things that I wasn't really capable of learning when I was younger:

• I've learned to listen carefully and acknowledge folks input.
• I've learned I don't need to do it all myself.
• Ego is necessary, but if you lose control of it you pay a big price.
• I readily acknowledge mistakes and I try to dwell on them only long enough to learn how not to repeat them.
• I've learned life is short and money is pretty far down the list as to what will make you happy (especially if you already have a few bucks).

This thing feels right. It's going to take a little time, but this guy will get this program back on track. I really believe he cares.....I really do!

 

[housekeys]

Can someone shut the shades?

Shades? Ha. You obviously did not notice the manger and the three wise man walking though the door.

Yea, in retrospect that is when we should have known something was up. I remember thinking that comment was really stupid, but I was so impressed with the rest of the press conference that I looked past it.

But it was a clear sign of his smartest man in the room syndrome that would follow.

LOL!!
That's great!!

 

[Jarhead_1775]

I was very concerned about his answer. Its in the middle of the dead period and he said he talked to recruits?

He's not the head coach yet?

 

[housekeys]

Undoubtedly, genuine, sincere emotion, specifically stated "regret", absolute direct apology, and entirely clear and appropriate focus on the future. How reasonable, relatively mature individuals could expect anymore would be challenging to comprehend. Moving onward, and upward.
Go UCONN!

Easy to believe it is genuine. While I am sure he did not regret leaving for his dream job, at the time, few would want to leave the way he did.

 

[MattMang23]

crap... he's got a process

We just have to trust the process and love each other and we will be fine.

 

[Husky25]

Okay. At this point, there is no way this doesn't become a thing.

I know AD David Benedict is so much easier to type, but compared to "Athletic Director Dave?" No contest!!!

 

[sportsart]

I thought the only thing that couldn't take place right now was face to face. I believe phone calls, texts, etc were OK in both directions.

 

[Huskyforlife]

He's not the head coach yet?

Good point, can't stop a normal guy from speaking to recruits.

 

[RedStickHusky]

but no ADD ok?

 

[BlueMAB]

That's his dream car.

You know the old saying... a Hyundai on the road is better than a Ferrari in the garage.

Or something like that.

 

[junglehusky]

Herbst on HCRE and the decision by Athletic Director Dave:

 

[housekeys]

If I'm a current commit and he hasn't called me yet, I'm a ittle concerned by his answer about recruits

He also said this will be on going and will receive immediate attention. He said things moved "fast", the holidays and you only have so much time. Not worried.

 

[Huskyforlife]

His answer to evaluating the offense and defense was pretty funny. Whoever asked that question was trying to make him look like a dick

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Was there any comments about scheme? Since DB seemed to push the need for points, I was hoping RE shared his thoughts on what was important offensively? I guess the safe answer is ..."I need to see the talent first"..but I keep hoping there will be an emphasis on putting an entertaining product on the field.
