Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 3010740, member: 5436"] Can Mr. Bouknight's effort today of putting his team on his back in a hostile environment and willing them to victory through leadership, effort, execution, and yes BALLS put that ridiculous, nonsensical and obvious fallacy of a narrative about this young man about him being lazy, or "too cool" to go all out to rest? I personally found that last thread about him to be borderline offensive. I will call players out for what I see as boneheaded, low basketball IQ plays, particularly on the in-game chat during games, but I try to NEVER turn that into a blanket statement about a young man's character. These guys are still all young men... and I certainly remember doing plenty of boneheaded things during my time in Storrs. - And that goes for the college kids. Bouknight is a senior in HIGH SCHOOL, for heaven's sake. Ok, so he had an off night the other night. Shockingly, it will probably happen again... maybe even when he is a Husky :eek: BOTTOM LINE: we should all be positively giddy about Mr. Bouknight committing to our program. I for one can not wait to watch him evolve into one of the building blocks of our return to the top echelon of men's basketball. And to you James Bouknight: thank you for your decision to become a major part of the renaissance of UConn men's basketball. The next few years of watching you grow your game into what we hope will be a long and distinguished career here and then even more in the NBA while also maturing into a fine young man should be quite enjoyable for all of us, indeed.
