His dad is all in as well - liked and retweeted my comment on twitter about being relevant again...definitely exciting times

Can’t wait for the ESPN documentary 20 years from now about how the UConn/Memphis Rivalry made the AAC.

Well said. This was the strategy. Take care of the back court, and now go for even bigger fish. Easier to sell Kofi, Precious and Ak Ak with two 4 star guards in the fold. The Hunt for October is next...

The staff identified our best opportunities, and pressed hard. Now we can spend tons of time big game hunting. Again, it is clear that all the kids we are targeting know the plan and are aware of each other. This will continue to pick up momentum as Jalen and James continue to recruit for UConn. Akok Akok and Kofi are next in sight because they could realistically commit before the season. Precious is the long ball because he will probably wait till the spring.

Bah Gawd! As God as my witness that dam is broken in half!

 

[Guapo]

Point Guard Jalen Gaffney Commits To Playing For UConn Men's Basketball Team, Per Report

I'll save this one for if Achiuwa or Akok commit. Then it's all out flood mode.

Welcome Jalen!!

Nah, they'll ignore us and our championships to focus on the Tulsa, Tulane rivalry.

Nah, they'll ignore us and our championships to focus on the Tulsa, Tulane rivalry.

I'm sure the lead will be..."Since UConn's 6th consecutive national championship is a foregone conclusion, what else of interest will be happening in the American this season?"

 

[Scrutineer]

Really wondering right now why Benedict didn't give a good hard look at Nate Oats...

He still looks to have a great career if he keeps it rolling at Buffalo. Could even end up at Syracuse, but it sure seems Benedict got this one right.

Welcome Jalen!

I tend to like to sit back and reserve judgement and let things play out a bit before they actually happen... the hot take crowd are mostly mindless just wanting to get their 15 minutes of spotlight with their mouths instead of their actions.

With that being said, there are more than a few people on here that should owe Chief an apology.

He was spot on, and willing to "go there" before almost anyone else about the dam breaking in September. And for anyone who thinks I am a Chief apologist, you can look back and see that he and I have clashed once or twice when I think he was full of it (not on this particular topic, but others).

But, I have to hand it to you Chief. You called this. I bow to your excellence on the dam breaking. GREAT CALL BY YOU SIR.

Who would have thought this is the position we'd be in now after our last loss against SMU in March?
Incredible hire by AD Dave and incredible coaching staff assembled by Hurley. We are back.
Now for some results on the court...

No lie, we were looking at a class of unranked 3* players. Unreal what Hurley and this staff have been able to do.

More as in more commits soon or more to the Gaffney story?

When you first posted this I was like "meh, ok that works" but I'm liking it more as it evolves.

As we all know, back in the Big East days, UConn had some deep, historic rivalries with programs that were close to our equals (Cuse, Georgetown etc).

However, a really underrated aspect of UConn fandom at that time was eating St. John’s lunch.

Nothing is as cute as a St. John’s fan’s hope and optimism for the future and today reminded me of just how enjoyable crushing their hopes and dreams is.

That looks more fuggly then before.
