One of those site administrators has warned you over and over to stop what you're doing and you continue to do it.

Nice non sequitor bud. I'm sorry my opinions trigger you and make you so upset.

I take warnings from the moderators seriously. Warnings from you? LMAO. Any credibility you thought you had evaporated when you stepped up to defend one of the guys who maintains that he wants the team to lose out. Fishy can do his own job without you latching onto his ankle.

What possesses you to make a post like this and what good do you think it does? Serious question.

Plenty of people have transitioned to rooting against the program because they think that continued losses on the court and trouble on the recruiting trail make a coaching change more likely. I am far from the only person infuriated that people who are doing both of those things are calling themselves "UConn fans."

The site administrators here confirm time and time again that recruits and their families regularly read this site. You have no way of knowing which negative whispers have hit any of these kids or their parents. Then again, your posts here strongly indicate that you hope recruits are scared off by what they read here so that the program bottoms out and cuts the cord quicker.

Where do I hope recruits are scared off? Point to it. My posts here indicate that I think it’s ridiculous that the thought police puts words in people’s mouth and accuses people of rooting against the program. You just did exactly that and proved my point. Thank you. And I disagree that a random poster can influence a recruit. Nothing more, nothing less.

I clearly wasn't talking about myself and you know it. I've never been a Mod on this board. Fishy has warned you over and over to knock it off and yet you're still playing your childish game.

Again, Fishy doesn't need you to do his job for him. You can stop embarrassing yourself by constantly sucking up to him, and we'd all be better off for it.

Furthermore, given your posting history, I'm not taking any accusations of being "childish" or playing "games" seriously. It astonishes how much leeway you are given given the frequency of your hysterical temper tantrums.

I have it on good authority, why wouldn't you want to know? Serious question.

You may well be right, but memes and good authority don't tend to line up...

It's funnier when the fat burnout does it, get some of your own material.

James, if you're reading this thread (and you probably are), 95% of Husky Nation wants you here! 95% of Husky Nation wants you to be the field general for the next generation. Come aboard and experience 16k people screaming "U-C-O-N-N!" because you made magic happen...

100% of UConn fans want him here but on this board, as in life, there are always people who want to be first and the loudest to complain and talk smack. I don't know why and I don't really care. People who are successful learn to tune them out, as I'm sure Akinjo has. He's a smart kid and talented player who will make a great Husky. I'm looking forward to watching him play here.

Did you really just crap on someone for posting an article about one of our recruits being nominated for the McDs game? You need to recalibrate, dude.

My guess is he may have thought he was nominated to the McDonald's game. Any player in the top 500 hundred gets a McD's nomination, I was just pointing that out.

What article are you referring to?

Edited it to tweet. I don't think Guapo thought he'd been named a finalist or whatever (not sure they identify the finalists). There are like an average of 10-20 nominees from each state (some states have 1, some like CA have more); it's not earth shattering but better to be listed than not. This is an Akinjo thread, so I'd expect this bit of news to be posted here.

Thanks for clarifying, Akinjo was one of 30 players nominated from Cali.

Was just making sure he knew it wasn't for the game, nothing nefarious here.

He looks like a nice player. We need him. I hope he comes to UConn whoever the coach is. I'm not sure there is much more to be said really.

Anyone who thinks any decision has been made regarding Kevin Ollie as the coach next year is drinking crazy juice. He's the coach and under contract until he's not. And the "not" part isn't something the AD is going to decide without looking at the full body of work over the season, including the recruiting class coming in (which is pretty good).

I support your post but I had to lol at the 16k comment. I thought it was 2009 for a second.
 
Not trying to be a dork. But basically I'll get excited about him when he shows up.

At the end of the day, here's the UConn player rankings by class for next year:

Adams - 23
Gilbert - 34
Larrier - 43
Wilson - 71
Polley - 117
Diarra - 133
Matthews - 135
Vital - 145
Carlton - 150
Akinjo - 157
Cobb - N/A
Kisinius - N/A
Williams - N/A
Whalley - N/A

Looking at that group - we've got talent.

I'm gonna go past that. Not gonna project, pontificate, anything. That's the ranked talent we have if Larrier and Adams come back. Only thing I'll say is... that's pretty good, right? That's not awful, right? That's better than most NCAA tournament teams................right?
