He's not a reliable ball-handler or playmaker yet, and mostly plays SF (or even some very small-ball PF) on the circuit.

He projects long-term as a SG, but he's not one yet and probably won't be one until at least a year in Hurley's system.

Thanks for chiming in. That’s about what I suspected, but my analysis is completely second-hand.

Reading the tea leaves from some of our more informed posters.. If a fourth roster spot became available (assuming JH and SJ are on board for 2021).. Our 2021 roster would benefit from having another shooter

Nate Santos has dropped in ranking quite a bit, but I could see him being a Polley/Giffey type player for us.

When I first started posting here, I assumed everyone was old too...maybe simply because it’s a message board. But the more I’m on here I realize we have a lot of young people too. Even when Stanley passed several posters wrote that he was their one of their favorite players as a kid.

You're just not good at this. It's not a matter of how old the reader is, funny is funny and your material just isn't funny. Please take this as constructive criticism.

your "constructive criticism" isn't constructive. Just deckish

That’s your opinion, so far a lot of people have been enjoying DB’s blogs based on feedback. His comedy isn’t for everyone

You guys and the players like the video he posted in the past. He's presented himself as a work in progress trying to put effort into something that he's interested in

Either provide real, constructive criticism (sometimes I think his videos are a little over produced, but I get that's his style), just let it go, or just ignore his post/comments.

Edit: just seeing 860 and DB are two different people. But my comment about being constructive still stands.

I appreciate everyone’s feedback good or bad. I started a website to show my videos figured why not add a blog, asked some of my college buddies if they wanted to blog. In no way am I going for the barstool style I just told them to be themselves and let them have freedom with it. Some people like the stuff, some people don’t. Either way I’m just trying to have fun and bring enjoyable UConn content

The videos are fine, it's the cringe stuff that you should get off your platform if you want to be taken seriously. "DB" is not getting anywhere with his style of humor, and his articles have many grammatical errors. If you post his stuff here, we have every right to be roast him, we arent his friends.

I spoke with him on social media. He said that we haven’t been in contact in months.

Never said you can’t roast him. I literally said “I appreciate everyone’s feedback good or bad” I know posting on the boneyard can be a rough place sometimes. I never take it personally. I’m not exactly trying to be taken seriously at the moment. I’m no expert in videos nor are my bloggers some insiders, go ahead and roast us we are welcome to it. His blogs specifically say they are satire, was never to be taken seriously

Every new blog or column goes through a “finding their voice” phase. I love the videos you produce, and I actually find the blog posts pretty entertaining for the most part (definitely don’t think they deserve some of the hate they’ve received on this forum at least). Creating content is hard work, and getting people to view that content is even harder...takes a heavy dose of ambition, so I have a lot of respect for your operation. Keep doing you man - create content that you love, put it out into the world, and reach your audience by staying true to your values.


P.S. When you release your first “Andre Jackson UConn Dunk Mix” I might break the internet from watching it too many times...

Alright my criticism would just be based off of what Hurley said earlier this year about how upset he was about the Alterique comments after the Xavier game. I get that the tone of the article was positive but I don’t think Hurley would want the fan base calling a 17 year old recruit that we’re close to wrapping up “big nuts” and saying that our campus is the land of cow . Nothing good can come out of it. Like no chance his family reads that and says “yep we need to go to UConn.” In general I’m all for blogs and stuff but just thought this one came off a little weird.

I was thinking about him. He’s someone we wouldn’t need to play a huge role in 2021-2022, but it’d be nice to have him in the fold if we lose Martin, Jackson, Adams, and Cole after that season.
