With Jacobs backing up Blauds info that Uconn is meeting with B12 Thursday, it appears that Blauds does have a source. Hopefully he is also correct that Uconn is one of 3 with a real shot

Until the Dude confirms the Thursday meeting, I'm not buying it.

 

[MattMang23]

Dude will tell us UConn is out and no meeting is scheduled.

Lol look at this guy

Say what?

Soooo...

Anybody got a recruiting update on Makai Ashton-Langford?

In case anyone was wondering, Makai Ashton-Langford just choose UConn over Providence. He is the #8 guard in his class, #33 overall.

When asked why he chose UConn over Providence, he replied "In the end, it was a no-brainer. Providence has never won anything. Good players want to play for championships."

Hey @Fishy I'm thinking Friar Tuck needs to get Butchied from the CR board.

Gotta be honest the last thing I expected was a troll from somewhere as inconsequential as Providence to freak out tonight.

I'm not even positive he means to be a troll. But the exact same thing happens in almost every thread he's in, so the whole "whoa is me" routine is comical at this point.

If he's still surprised by the reactions, then he just isn't very bright.

This is basically the equivalent of the Knicks taking trash to the Warriors for losing Game 7.

Somewhere "Mountain Man" AKA Okie Lite is L-A-F-F-I-N his a** off over the * he's stirred up in this thread over the last few pages. Will he return to reap the rewards of his labors? Stay tuned...

Nothing against you Ldandy but he really sticks up for UConn on the Land Thieves board. I wandered over there today and was happy someone was spreading our gospel. He has some verve. We should be more tolerant at times here. Perhaps I'm being schemed but don't think so.

Another Wikipedia article sources this quote "The league [AAC] is the product of substantial turmoil in the original Big East Conference during the 2010–14 conference realignment period. It is one of two conferences to emerge from the all-sports Big East in 2013. While the other successor, which does not sponsor football, purchased the Big East Conference name,The American inherited the old Big East's structure and is that conference's legal successor. However, both conferences claim 1979 as their founding date, and the same history up to 2013. The American is headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, and led by Commissioner Michael Aresco."

This seems reasonable and straightforward enough. As a parting remark with regard to the "dustup" with "Mountain Man" and "Friar J", it is nice to "disagree without becoming disagreeable yourself ". No doubt some of you folks are on pins and needles about CR and hope for the best for your school UConn. No one has a crystal ball to see the future however - and sure I would love to see my "alma mater" win the (still) mythical NC in CFB again this year but I have no more control on that than you folks do on UConn's potential landing spot (unless the Eastern religions' connectedness theories are correct which physics is seeming to support) and in that sense the famous quote from T. S. Eliot's "Murder in the Cathedral" seems appropriate: "only the fool fixed in his folly thinks he may turn the wheel on which he turns". Meanwhile, in case that quote is wrong, I will return to creative visualization of a 15-0 season ...

Some people just have no concept of context. You don't wander into a neighbors house to tell them what a dump it is.

LOL got your panties in a bunch after losing out on MAL?

You troll here non-stop... and then when you get put in your place you cry? Please, leave. You won't be missed.

Blauds has a had a source within UConn for awhile now. Off the top of my head he was the first to report that UConn and BC were working on getting the football game back on along the UMass threesome. I'm forgetting quite a few other stories he's led on over our local guys (Did he have the Benedict announcement first too?).
Anyone I seem to remember he's broken a good 4-5 UConn stories over the past year or so.

He also has had numerous sources within BC up to and including DeFilippo himself when he was there. Most of his BC info at the time he wrote for the Globe came straight from Flipper's mouth.

That's where Blauds got his Warde Manuel to Michigan scoop....Flipper was lead on that for the search firm hired by Michigan.

Thus far, I think that worked out well for us. Very happy with Benedict. Thanks Flipper.

Make sure you send your thank you'd to Earde's teammate at UM..Jim Harbaugh and a majority of their former football alumni who are influential boosters. Flipper didn't do anything but interview candidates and run his mouth to his boy!

Fox isn't going to say no to UConn going into the New Big East, thanks to the pathetic performance of the New Big East teams. They want the money. So they only bar between UConn and the New Big East is whether UConn can get a better deal elsewhere, or if they decide they want to slum it with fan-less Catholic schools that never win anything (except Nova, they're legit).
