Hi Andre,

Enjoyed seeing you at Ted's. Let me know when you'll be back in Storrs again next time.

Honestly just shows how much he really cared about this program. Hopefully he can be a testament to people looking to come in after him.

Be positive
All the best Bouk

Smart decision good luck to bouk in the NBA can’t wait to watch his develop so rapidly

 

[Chief00]

I think Bouk is still waiting for an apology from Chief, right @formerlurker?

For what? He said he wanted to come back but was convinced by others not to. I agree with his gut instincts on this. Perhaps, he knows himself best and what he needs to be successful in his long term career.
Having made the decision now, as I said in another post, I wish him the best. Before that final decision, I was trying to give the best advice I could. What I thought was in his long term interest. Some posters and even advisers forget about the insurance that the school could buy for him to cover the injury possibility, that some raised, as the reason he should go.

He should be remembered as the kid who came to campus, stole a car, ran from police, and got off with a light hand slap. As far as basketball; really didn't accomplish much for the TEAM. Don't let the Gampel doors.....

You got lost on your way to the womens board. _____ off.

Other than the fact it would’ve been great to make a March run, this played out like it should have. I’m excited to watch a young UConn shooting guard make waves in the Association again!

Lol ok boomer

 

[Deadrody]

I'm honestly not going to predict anything, but it will certainly be interesting to see how he does.

Good luck in the NBA, James. Thanks for your part in bring UConn back to relevancy ?

Why the hate, it's the truth? In the words of Commander Nathan Jessup. "You can't handle the truth". LMFAO!!!!!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Classy response by DH. Love that he’s showing he can cultivate NBA talent!

Ah my bad, I thought that was you that suggested he was sitting out with a personal agenda back when he was still recovering from injury.

Shame he never got to play in front of fans. The obvious and correct decision.

James will thrive in the NBA and has a chance to be REALLY special if he can consistently hit the 3 and get a bit better on D.

I guess it feels like COVID has been going on for a long time! But there were fans the season before !

No offense but making

Im not sure I am buying that he made Uconn rellabant again! A 7 seed and first round loss is a huge turnaround?Uconn is no blueblood in men’s basketball! I guess Duke and Kentucky will be happy with making the big dance next year!

Good for him. Sad to see him go but he's going to progress better as a pro than he would here. Wishing him the best of luck.

(Please, somehow, go to Boston)

Exactly what I'm thinking
