Seeds are apparently random

This is where we are at. Kid we didn't know existed posts a bracketology for his personal recruiting journey and we want to reassure ourselves that there is no hidden meaning in the seeding. Has anybody looked at region yet? Are the finals in Texas? Are we playing the Tarholes in Charlotte?

I miss the days when I'd just turn the telly on in November to learn who we had picked up.
I lament the fact that I can't look away and despise this hour by hour recruitment rut.
 
This is fine.

It's significantly better than a kid hyping up the release of his top 9 schools or whatever.

It shows a sense of fun and creativity.

Sports are supposed to be fun. The only people meant to suffer are UConn fans.
 
This is hysterical. The elite 8 is going to start getting really competitive.
 
UConn has won a lot of championships from a poor seed. I like our chances with the 25 seed!

He already knows who his top 2 or 3 are. This is just for show lol

Fan bases going at each other in twitter wars will be even more extreme now that this is displayed in a single elimination tournament fashion. One game at a time. DePaul is up first.

yes, i quoted myself.

I cant disagree there. It's just the whole "everyone look at me" vibe im getting from the majority of recruits that's off putting. Adulation is earned in my book.

I didn't really come away with that impression. The sheer spectacle of the entire 32 team bracket almost made it seem self-deprecating in a way.

Far as "adulation is earned," you're looking at it from perspective of a UConn fan. He hasn't earned adulation from *you*. That might not be the case for his family, friends, teammates, and coaches that have been along for the ride this whole time. They're probably even more interested in the recruitment than us.

I can appreciate your views on it.
I was looking at it more from an "adult in the work force" perspective. In the grand scheme of life, what hes accomplished, is a pimple on the butt of an elephant. Yes, being a top 200 basketball player took hard work for sure but this whole thing of watching a twitter feed for the sole purpose of getting likes, thumbs up emojis and people jocking your nuts drives me crazy for some reason. Its a giant ego stroke and when that ego thats been stroked for years gets brought back down to earth its life shattering for these kids. They end up transferring to the next guy/school that'll stroke that ego.

Tl/dr: shut your mouth, take your lumps, be hungry and earn your praise.
 
I feel like he's doing it to be goofy / clever, trying to do it in a different but fun way.

I can see how you'd think it's sort of self-important, but I don't take it as being ultra-serious in nature. He seems to be having some fun with it.

I love the creativity. I hate the whole spectacle, but that's not on him.

My source says we are in good shape.

My source is that UConn is historically great in tournaments.

Let's make another run!

My "sources" tell me we are in good shape a lot.:eek:

Temple out in the 1st round. Suprising

Funny. I actually kind of like this, at least compared to the Normal top lists they put out.
 
Since he's scheduled an official for September, I would assume we are safe till the final 4 correct?

One would assume. This is just his way of announcing his final 8(or4) which IMO is a really cool idea.

We need this type of creative guy on our roster, it shows thats KO has found guys with UConn hungry husky mental toughness and all will be fine.:rolleyes:

Elite 8 Guess:

FSU vs UConn
Georgia vs Michigan

Georgia Tech vs Clemson
NC State vs Virginia Tech

Due to the fact that we have an official visit on 9/29, I assume we advance to the Final Four as well over FSU. Have to imagine he posts the elite 8 and Final Four by then.



Final Four Guess:

UConn vs Georgia
Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech

To hell with Georgia Tech.

Updated Scout Top 150 came out and this kid made a huge jump, up 49 spots to #58 (higher than Carey, Mathis & Mucius, who all fell, ICYWW)

Other notable jumps:

Mike Devoe - up 67 spots to #78
James Akinjo - up 73 spots to #99
Expand ...

If we pull in these guys, missing on Sid Wilson and Montez Mathis might turn out to be strokes of luck.
