Pork Chop!?!? I love it - get hungry, Pork Chop, get hungry!

I hope hes as cranky on the court as that picture seems to indicate. Send porkchop some Ed Saunders film. Lets go to work.

"Really it's just a great fit for me," Whaley said. "Their plans fit my plans. They run a high tempo offense and that's the offense I fit in."


Since 2015, we've ranked 299th, 292nd and 303rd in offensive tempo....

Yeah I had to laugh at that one! Our high temp offense must have been in the "Fake News" section of the paper.

Don't confuse where we've been with where we want to be. The first step to playing uptempo is getting big men who can rebound and get up and down the court. Whaley, Diarra, Polley are a good start in that direction.

Great attitude, sounds like a good teammate! Welcome to the Huskies Isaiah!!!

This is incredibly important and encouraging. Given what we've just gone through, a guy who has realistic expectations is very welcome.

Good news, I'm happy we got another big with potential.

Also, he looks a lot like Tupac with a Kobe early 2000's mini fro.

"Really it's just a great fit for me," Whaley told Evan Daniels of Scout.com. "Their plans fit my plans. They run a high tempo offense and that's the offense I fit in. … I can help them immediately with my defense and running the floor. I feel when they put more weight on me I can help more inside.

"... With [UConn coach Kevin Ollie] it was just a mutual relationship. He came from a similar background that I came from. That connected me with him. There aren't a lot of coaches that come from the same background that I came from."
