Joel Ntambwe (UNLV Transfer)

[Doctor Hoop]

I kinda hate to agree with this, but I do. He's basically an 'Ollie Special'.

I don’t know about any “Ollie Special,” but I do know that the highlights I saw mostly showed dunks, outback dunks, and shot blocks. Not much ball handling, little if any passing, and very few jump shots. I like to see a little more.

That... my good sir.. is why you only stick to electric blue.

I don’t disagree with you there

Sid is a work in progress but when he took outside shots for 2 or 3 last season I think he looked like he could be deadly if he puts in the time this summer. His shooting form was fine he just needs to make more. Who was going to block those jumpers? I hope he can get there.

Shooting form was AWFUL. Not close to fine.

But it did look different, especially from the foul line, by the end of the season. Trust hurley.

Brendan Adams? Good teammate, useful practice player, should give solid minutes as 9th or 10th man, or defensive stopper. Think Shamon Tooles, Donnell Beverly, Marcus Johnson.

If he's relied on for more than that, that means the rest of the talent isn't good enough.

Pfft, you say that like being as good as Shamon Tooles is a bad thing. Plus, he could rap.

Shamon Tooles, the basketball player, grew up in plain view of everyone in Coatesville.It was an

I like all our guys and I think they can all keep getting better. That said, if we can get a guy who's better we have to get him. That's a big way of upgrading the program, keep getting better players.

This thread needs some STB

Hey Bud,

I am 6'6" 250.

Where can we meet so you can call me jackass to my face?

I'd like to declare myself a friend of Chief @Chief00

Chief haters have an ax to grind with the world ... misplacing it on a great boneyard personality! Good thing Chief appears to take the haters in stride... sign of a solid individual.

Yeah, when someone is crying for attention from their parent’s basement and filled with hate, sometimes the best policy is to get out of their way and let them make fools of themselves. That’s one thing they do rather well.

Gosh this thread turned into another peeing contest and crap show I see. Yet I keep coming back like a battered person.

Man I love The Boneyard as messed us as it is

It boils down to jealousy, insecurity, and ignorance. Really quite sad, actually.

Is there anywhere to talk about UConn basketball that doesn’t contain such histrionics and, more importantly, the irony of the seemingly greatest attention-seeker ever accusing others of the same?

Never trust a Providence fan to speak without bias on Hurley.

That dude needs a hug and a good psychologist. And some basic literacy and/or research skills.

Not to get too technical...but alcohol is really a solution.

Gotta love KO's burner account

 

[Chief00]

Pay KO for what? Again, he was offered $2.5M before this nightmare started and refused it. Now he has zero bargaining chips other than some misinformed members of the public.

I'm like 95% positive it's @champs99and04. If so, his heel turn has been quite fascinating to watch.

Pretty sure he hasn't posted since getting called on it last time.

There was a trend, and that 179 may have been an abberation in terms of being incredibly bad, but 73 and 96 are both non-tournament, bad teams.

And 16 was propped up by 2 of the best grad transfers.

If those are true frosh instead of vets they’re probably closer to the years sandwiching it.
