James Bouknight OV today

[CL82]

@UConnNick , this is the only part I question. Having tended bar for almost a decade, I can tell you that the first thing to go when drinking is the ability to gauge the volume of one's whisper.

Having been in many bars for way more than a decade, I know when a drunk whispers to you, you get a full blast of drunk breath. The only thing that makes me question the story is that Hurley didn't say "Dude you aren't driving home, right?"

 

[CL82]

Yeah coach, I'm totally fine...seriously...

 

[Dove]

While not my brightest moment, drunk me did see Coach Hurley outside the stadium and kept my cool enough to quickly talk with him and get a picture! Very nice and approachable, true professional. As I walked away I whispered under my breath "Bouknight?" so that only he could hear, and he replied "Oh, he's right over there," gesturing to a group of tall people about fifteen feet away. I then said "we good?" and Hurley smiled slyly and said "we're good," flashing me a thumbs up as I walked away.

Just for the visual of how the post played out you get a LOL. Then reality sets in and...

 

[Dove]

If he were sold on coming to UConn, we should expect the commitment today, right?

20 minutes from now.

I believed it before - and that’s validation, however it raises a concern - why are you drinking Busch Lites?

Busch is the best cheap beer. The other cheap beers don’t do it for me.

Natty Ice would like a word. I wouldn't buy it now, but when I was in college it's basically the only beer I drank

Just kidding - Chief is a Budlight guy myself - and the import beer guys give me a hard time.

natty light. My friends drank majorska and dubra like water

 

[Stinger92860]

Chief is hearing - Lots of rain forecast for Monday night through Wednesday. Could cause flooding and pressure on dams.

You called September.

For my personal taste

Natty Ice > Keystone ice

Keystone light > Natty light

Natty ice was always the same price as Natty light so economically it never made sense to me to buy light

Agreed on Keystone over Natty, though I haven't drank either more than a couple times since I graduated in '17.

Got to say though for heavier cheap beers I found Milwaukee's Best Ice surprisingly effective at 5.9% and $15 for a 30 at Total Wine.

I could never stomach beast ice. I'd rather dubra

Milwaukee is awful (IMO). Busch and Rolling Rock were always my go to cheap beer.

 

[Bonk]

Kirkland light is definitely the best price 48 for like $23. it also might be mostly piss

It's so bad. I wanted to like it for the price but I couldn't. Their $9 handle of vodka is good though

 

[Ewekon]

Costco sells booze?

 

[UConnSwag11]

Costco sells booze?

had their vodka last night

 

[arch]

Wow! Just wow.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Damn, drinking any of that crap beer...light anything, just not worth the calories. And “import” beer @Chief00, that’s mostly overpriced Budweiser. Y’all need to wander to the Best Beer thread and redeem yourselves,

For the record, I believe the story.

 

[jleves]

Anyone else drink Lucky Lagers in the 80's in college? Cheap for sure and they had a fun picture puzzle under the cap:

A point well taken

 

[jleves]

Back to the drawing board

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

He even gave the “a-ok” hand gesture as a signal and Hurley gave the same hand gesture back.

Nefarious hand signal alert.

 

[HooperScooper]

How did this thread morph into a discussion about horrible beer?

So back to the original topic. Is Bouknight making any more visits or are we going to hear some good news very shortly?

 

[Wordbomar]

So he left without a commitment...?

 

[Huskyforlife]

So he left without a commitment...?

It appears so.

 

[BackAftaThis]

Def reading into things too much but before today only Sid Wilson followed him on Instagram and now the whole team does.

Just sayin....lol

 

[KingAG]

So he left without a commitment...?

In every other visit he posted a picture of himself in the teams uni with the hashtag #NotCommited. He did not do that on this visit. That is a good sign imo

I wouldn't take that as anything. I think that's reading a little too hard into things. But hey I'm all for it please please please.

But leaving without a commitment is fine, as another poster had said chances are he is going to talk it over with coaches, family, etc. He was already back at MacDuffie today.

I take it as he never planned on committing to those schools. Hence the #NotCommitted hashtag. I believe he planned and plans on committing to UConn . It wouldn't mean much if UConn wasnt the only school he didnt do it to. Just my opinion

That normally happens after a visit. The kids get to know each other. I refuse to ever get duped by follows again lol. But that combined with all the other great signs is good
