Larrier Visited UConn Today

[CAHUSKY]

I use UCONN every time I reference my alma mater. Shoot me.

One of the insiders here who I believe is supposed to have a connection with someone on the staff has given an, albeit cryptic, indication that it isn't looking very good with King. Sources can be wrong and things can change but he is apparently Louisville's to lose right now. I imagine a lot can change if we get him on campus though.

On the Ville premium site, their writer indicated that there was no clear leader after his visit and that it's still very early in the process for king to have a leader.

Some people claim to have insider info, but their writer didn't seem to know where he stood, which is it?

I could guess, but please define wordmark for me.

Long story made short ...

"UConn" is how the university's style guide directs you to refer to the university in print.

The word mark is a graphical logo meant for bumper stickers, football helmets and the onesies that you buy your newborn nieces and nephews because you're lazy and unimaginative in your gift-giving......

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Not entirely sure how to define it, but this is the wordmark:

http://brand.uconn.edu/standards/wordmark-and-logos/

And here's where UConn makes the clarification: http://brand.uconn.edu/standards/fonts/

Outside of these minor restrictions, simply utilize discretion when choosing fonts that complement the UConn brand. Please note that when used in cases other than the wordmark, the word UConn should simply be written as ‘UConn’ not ‘UCONN’.

Thanks, helpful.

Thank you. UCONN just looks ridiculous. It's either UConn or Uconn.

Uconn looks just as bad as UCONN in my eyes. 'Conn' stands for Connecticut, so the 'c' needs to be capitalized. UConn.

It's the only way I've ever considered it to be correct. And I didn't need a style guide for that.

Tate hopes to spell it Xconn!

Pretty detailed set of directions on how we should address the college for a non-ivy.

I will resume using UConn, which is what I used until they developed the "wordmark" in their quest for uniformity (sometimes).

Detailed?

UConn - "Please refer to us as UConn."

You - "ARRRGGHHHH! IT'S SO COMPLICATED!"

Oriakhi could play immediately because we were banned from the tournament for his senior year.

So should we be lining up for NC transfers this summer?

 

[RichZ]

I could guess, but please define wordmark for me.

It's a graphical representation of text, used as logo, and can be registered as a trademark.

For inline text, UConn is the correct capitalization.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Larrier or LArrier...or LARRIER?

 

[EricSD]

Instead of worrying how to type UConn, we could just call it "NCU" for National Championship University. That's close enough for me...

Hey, I only graduated from a state school.

But, they came out with a long explanation of needing consistency even among sports teams and the answer was UCONN, I took it at face value. Didn't get the wordmark vs in-line usage thing. My brain is exploding!
Do people at IBM write Ibm or ibm when it isn't logo-ish. UPS become ups? Espn?
So now that I understand wordmark, I have to go back and relearn the definition of consistency!

 

[CL82]

Depends on whether they meet minimal admittance standards.

Heard from a very, very reliable source today that we are in great shape with Larrier. Expect a decision by Tuesday or in 20 minutes.

Dang! Can't you be more specific. At least with Diarra and a set time I was able to get things done. Now I'm going to need to check in every twenty minutes or so for three days. Great news.

Please, Please, PLEASE make it so Terry!!!!

I get that you're being facetious, but titles and logos are often capitalized differently than inline text.

Look at the top of this page. No one says THE BONEYARD though. Not to mention the examples you listed are acronyms.

Sorry, no time frame. This source gave me some great tidbits about the team this year. Absolutely loves Jalen Adams and Gibbs is exactly the type of player Ollie needed. Expect a "monster year" from Hamilton.

So your source is me?

 

[Zionn]

He is playing very close to the chest, but in a good spot alright.

Flip of a coin from what I hear. But yes heard announcement is probably midweek

We have a better chance than VCU.

lol VCU

 

[UConNick]

This has probably hashed around before, but how do you say his name? Does it have the French twang? Lar-E-er or LAr-E-ay?

 

[JSM1970]

From where, the Spring game?

In my mind's ear, it rhymes with terrier.

 

[uchusky32]

My sources told me he's keeping his decision close the vest, it's 50/50 and it's definitely not VCU. Waiting to hear from my other 2 sources.
