If we get Braylon back, we are cooking.

The other thread was more fun because someone posted fan fiction that turned out to actually happen.

I am very confused by Duke fans. They are super mad and are saying he is terrible. Pick one, little bro.

Isn't there an old story about a fox unable to reach some grapes and declaring them to be sour anyway after he failed?

He played 20 minutes a game on a loaded team. He clearly has talent. Only took 4+ shots a game, 3 of then being threes. So he was clearly used only as a floor spacer. There has got to be more to his 2 point game than to take 1+ two pointers a game, since he wasn't know as a true sniper in high school and he was ranked #15.

Solo Ball takes more shots before the 2nd media timeout than this guy does all game.

I just hope he wasn’t sent here to infiltrate us for Duke. They desperately want to figure out a way to beat us

This was way more cool yesterday when the news broke.

Nikolis?

Congrats and welcome to UConn NIk! It will interesting to see where he falls once we have a full lineup of players on the team. I think his versatility and skillset will be very valuable at 3 or 4. Former McDonald's all- American is nice bonus if meets expectations. Go UConn!!!!!

Will this thread have staying power?

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I'm assuming he's the first Duke player we've ever landed, like Rod Sellers' elbow to Laettner's head. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Duke podcast has a little meltdown over the news.

"Wow. That - is - gross." 🤣

From CBSSports.com

UConn -- Nikolas Khamenia​

247Sports rank: No. 33 overall, 94 grade | No. 3 SF

Former school: Duke

I love this pickup for UConn. Khamenia will serve as Alex Karaban's replacement at forward. The former five-star recruit will play for the team that eliminated his former team, Duke, in the Elite Eight. Khamenia shot 37.4% on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers. UConn's offensive system, which is designed to get shooters open through a variety of actions, is exactly what he needs to take the next step. Khamenia will likely be a Day 1 starter for coach Dan Hurley, something he didn't do often during his freshman season at Duke. He started just five games and logged just under 20 minutes per outing. Grade: A -- Salerno

I love how they keep saying "whoa news to me, UConn is the basketball capital?????" as if their boy Dickie V didn't say it with his own lips in that Syracuse game.

 

[Bigo-Nel]

This just came arcoss

 

[auror]

We probably should pin this, but it's pronounced "hah-MEN-yuh". So when you're making up your nicknames, they have to rhyme with Hey Ya! instead of Mania.

Duke podcast has a little meltdown over the news.

A couple observations:

He was almost self aware. He came close a few times, but each time reverted to a good amount of Duke delusion.

He kept wavering between being not quite douched enough and sufficiently douchey to be a Dukie.

 

[Scottobot]

That dude from locked on has been proving us doubters wrong!!!! Ha. I trust him. Especially after hearing his last show.
He seems to be a good source

he also said we were going to get freeman and doesn’t look like that will happen
