Italian point guard visiting

[Dove]

Geno should host this kid and Ollie for a pasta dinner and break out the famous sauce. I'm serious. Then drop him off at the Electric Blue on the way back to campus.

Does the Dairy Bar offer gelato?

Where would he be going? Neither one of those dudes is leaving school any time soon.

He'd be getting paid by an Italian team or drafted by an NBA team and stashed.

Was wondering the same thing, when did MAL or Waters become guys who will be in the NBA soon if ever?

 

[superjohn]

How does that have anything to do with MAL or Waters? This kid not being drafted now has what sort of relation to MAL and Waters?

 

[willie99]

can a booster have him for a home cooked authentic Italian meal?

we do well with foreign players, maybe this is a good omen

As others have stated, why not have Geno do it? That's legal. No impermissible benefits necessary.

I am currently in Italy, and the pizza I had at the convenience store at the train station in chiusi was better than anything I've had in quite a while (living in denver that doesn't say much, but it was still pretty good)

Do they still have Spizzico's everywhere?

Please tell me you are going to or have been to Montepulciano.

If he was as good as Makai Ashton Langford? You're not making any sense.

No, sorry. If he was really that great of a foreign player he would be signed, aside from MAL/TW comparisons.

Not necessarily, not every 17 year old is ready to turn professional, he may want a college education and a better shot at the NBA. In his case he seems a little skinny so he may need some physical development before he's ready.

he's 19 though

 

[hoopsknowitall]

Time to close the deal....

 

[husky429]

Not many players are 17 or even 18 coming in any more. They all reclass and some even take pg years. Jalen was a 19 year-old freshman

 

[Coach J]

If they don't bring Geno in to talk to this kid, I'll pack up Ollie's office for him.

That would seem to be a winning move.

Seems like a no brainer for sure.

We stopped there on the way to the train station. Didn't get to spend nearly as long as I wanted to there, but it's such a cool town. That and san gimignano were two of my favorite spots. We were at a wine tasting and the couple from Israel that we started talking with had just got engaged there

Do they still have Spizzico's everywhere?

Yup. Haven't tried (don't really plan to) though

Yep, great wines in Montepulciano.

San Gimignano is cool, too. If you haven't already, see the movie Tea with Mussolini, most of which is filmed there.

 

[Jaker]

I have a wood fired pizza even in my back ysrd, send the kid over and I will make him a pie.

Maybe his fav food is KFC and McD's? That's why he is coming to USA.

 

[UConnStats]

Well if he prefers those to Arby's, he's probably the type to transfer anyway.

 

[August_West]

Really, at this point someone needs to reach out to Arby's to become the an official sponsor of the BY.

@August_West

Its sad to say but due to the current circumstances of UConn athletics (conference, low achievement, turmoil )

Arbys brand > UConn brand.



Arbys is a P5 level brand.

 

[tykurez]

I'd love for UConn to land this kid - but our Italian pipeline dried up the moment that Patoni kiln exploded.

I actually went to one last month. The entire operation was a cluster and the food sucked. It was so bad I can't even agree with you ironically. This article may be a bit dated, but it wasn't wrong when it said, "As I scoured the menu...I had difficulty identifying anything that had gone through less processing than uranium."

One man's processing is another man's #meatcraft.
