Italian point guard visiting

[Hans Sprungfeld]

There will be no Italians or anything that resembles Italian food outside of the UConn and the northeast

"Egg noodles and ketchup."

Davide 76 says get him here, I'll bring the braciole.

 

[UConnDan97]

I'll offer my translation services for road games if they can get me a seat on the bench. I've got your back, Geno...

 

[King Husky]

I've barely watched any tape on this guy yet, but I already like him more than that french PG Ayayi. Maybe not as game-ready tough, but his shot is much smoother. Need a shooter in that 5th guard spot. Someone who can be a threat to hit deep open 3's against the 2-3 zone.

Chingety ching
Hee haw...hee haw!

Goodfellas

Lord no.

 

[Danzz]

I was thinking the same thing. We have the #1 Italian in Connecticut on campus. If there was ever a time to use Geno , Frank Pepe's pizza and our pizza thread , it's now.

Doubtful an Italian would be impressed with American pizza.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

We need this guy. Solid 3 pointer strokes. He seems to know how to play PG or SG. We need a combo guard and he would be a good fit. We really gonna need good outside shooting touch.

Especially if it's not New Haven style American pizza.

 

[Ts5034]

Lord no.

Pretty sure hes talking about the restaurant Goodfellas in New Haven. That restaurant can sell anybody whether they are Italian or not.

Taking him to Goodfellas might only persuade him that you have to drive an hour from Storrs to find decent food.

It would be great to another Italian on the team besides Vital

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Had pizza in Venice last summer at a nice canal-side cafe. Not much different than good ones here.

One thing for sure, he ought to have a pretty good Euro-step.

Everyone tends to like great food. I've had all the best places in Napoli and I'll take Connecticut pizza over it any day.

 

[King Husky]

Part of his visit with us should be in NYC. We should probably do that with all of our overseas recruits.

Venetian pizza sucks because they can't have real brick ovens on the island. It's against the law to avoid fires. The ovens they have are just plain old ovens; they don't get hot enough to make the good kind of Italian pizza. Also if yourennear tourist areas pizza is trash in Italy.

I'm a pizza snob. And chili. I'm open minded everywhere else though!

So put a sweater on already.

Bologna basketball son Moretti looking to push himself – maybe even in NCAA

I love most Euro players, hope we get him.

If we get this kid we would have 5 guards, does this mean a 3 guard offence.

They're probably gonna run a lot of 3 guard offense with only 4 guards. So yeah, this kid would fit right in. Especially given he's got somewhat of a shot.

Plus, they really need another backup PG because you can't bank on perfect health from AG at this point.

Thanks for the info. And I don't think it's possible to be a snob about anything as important is pizza or chili.

Have you ever seen a five-guard offense?

No?

Check back in October.

Vinny Dibiagio, he scored 125 points in one half, on crutches!

We will be running a lot of three guard offense because of the makeup of the roster.

 

[Huskymagic]

I like what I see lately in terms of recruiting outreach which is more in line with the Calhoun model in recruiting now. Moretti can be valuable as a great spot up shooter for us.

Looking at the list of schools, with Indiana as the main threat, we should be able to reel him in. This is where Coach Chillious needs to earn his money.

Same here, but I also include gumbo and jambalaya. And burgers. Dogs, too.

Crap. I'm a damned food snob.
