2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley, the Second of His Name, 2.0

[EBonz30]

Without interest in researching the matter further, I question your own assumptions about the fans or the players.

Is your "problem with how many here so easily assume..." that it's too many or too few?

I wrote my previous paragraph to reduce your post to absurdity, and did so before looking to see what anybody else wrote in response.

Why?

Because your final paragraph is unsupportably exaggerated, and leaves no room for disagreement, even though it doesn't represent or measure up to anything I think or feel. I'm confident that I'm not the only person with contrary thoughts to yours. I restrain myself from behaving more poorly.

Business lawyer responded back to a statement I made earlier in the week with similar rhetoric inferring I made all these unfair conclusions about the same ideology above. I made zero in the statement he commented on- when I responded back to what he said about me it was crickets.

Not sure why he responded that way to me in the first place considering I never came close to make any conclusions as he mentioned.

What?

Look. It’s simple.
For all intents and purposes, 99% of Boneyard posts are moot and, therefore, for all intensive purposes should be muted.
(Or the other way around)

Kid is 6’7 Cam Spencer. Only thing missing are highlights of McNeeley making plays out of the pivot with shot fakes and pass fakes.

Much better athlete than I assumed. Thought he would be in the Karaban mold of athleticism

That’s because you won boneyard. You’ve leveled up to taking on business doctors now.

More like the Flagg level of athleticism.

And there is a point this season where Clingan was out and Johnson was the starter and pretty much single handedly won the St John’s game before Xmas coming off Seton Hall loss. We were undefeated in the BigEast with Johnson as a starter.

People have short memories.

I know this is the Liam thread, but its also the BY…

It’s amazing how unaware some fans are…

One of the main beefs about Samson (foul trouble)…he significantly improved on as the season went on. Nearly all of the last 10 games or so, foul trouble wasn’t an issue. The Edey game was an anomaly for obvious reasons.

Certain great basketball minds here also predicted that once the cupcake games ended, Samson’s alley oops would go away. They didn’t…he consistently out-athletes even top D1 talent and will continue to do so next year.

His high hedging will be even better next year…but certain experts will continue to comment in every postgame analysis that it’s a liability…

He’s showing flashes of a post game, and has made some great assists. These are gonna get better next year.

Can’t wait for 24-25 season Samson!

The AD needs to step up and let Danny offer him Big NIL money. That the only way to sign Liam early.

just started following the boneyard and predecessors 24 years ago when we moved to Richmond. Some of the great posters are here now, hooper scooper etc. Wide access to Connecticut, medis and personal experiences. Those folks was wonderful. Posters weren’t entitled. Posters supported program.
Nowadays, Truly 99% of post aren’t scanned by me any longer, what happened ?

 

[BrysonDeMan]

Seems like the Twitter prediction guy isn’t super accurate according to people that follow it closer than me.

doomed

Too many trolls, fakespurts, and negative-nancies.

There are some guys out there who def throw crystal balls around hedging and then change it last minute (no idea if this guy does this)….

But he is 67/74 on crystal ball predictions.

He’s not a reliable source at all. We need to wait for someone that’s actually credible

 

[Umami Zen]

Not spelling his name correctly was a flag to me. Liam's family strikes me as being very thoughtful and methodical. Liam stated he was going to start visits after Jordan event 2 to 3 weeks ago. Hard to imagine either he or his family would leak any news to the media before he's even stepped on campus.

They're holding all the cards. I'm sure Dan will make sure the visit is impactful for all.

 

[imno1]

Just a reminder that Liam and Ahmad will be playing in Jordan Classic today at 6 on NBA app

I prefer players who have a quiet recruitment and take their time to make the best decision. Frustrated the bejesus out of fans, but it speaks to maturity and intelligence.

If a player commits to us because we're the shiny new toy, what happens when someone else has a bigger, better toy?

Austin Croshere. Except the other toy was cheap and tinny.

 

[aburks41]

The fact that he hasn’t scheduled another visit after ours yet seems like a good sign. I obviously have zero insight here but in my delusional brain I’m spinning this to mean that he thinks UConn is his destination so unless he comes here and hates it, he won’t bother setting up another visit.

 

[KingAG]

There’s whispers

 

[AllHusky]

Not aware of how the initial recruiting process was for Liam, but usually it is a crazy grind for any kid and his family. Guessing(hoping) he has a good idea of what he is looking for and looking at this go round. Decommitting from Indiana upon learning Woodson was returning leads me to believe that is true. Visiting UConn first also leads me to believe he has an idea that his needs might be met here. Let all of us on the Boneyard try not to screw it up!!
DOOMED.

Intensive purposes!!!! I didn’t know Doug heffernan was on the boneyard!!

I'm pretty sure Intensive Purposes was a straight-to-video Steven Seagal movie.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Huge difference in flaming and honesty and I don’t see much flaming at all.

Wasn't necessarily targeting you; we've had a whole season of listening to people more interested in what Samson's not going to do next year than in what he was doing this year. Fact is we were as good as anybody at the backup 5, keeping Clingan fresher and more effective than he would've been otherwise. As far as next year, I'll wait for Samson to not develop before I call him out for not developing. I also think chances are good that Stewart, Ball, and Ross are prime time ready next year too.

Does this have any impact here?

BREAKING: Auburn transfer guard Aden Holloway has committed to Alabama, he tells @On3sports.

Holloway is a former McDonald’s All-American and top-20 recruit.

Holloway is a 6-foot PG but it certainly doesn't hurt to have another scholly and more NIL locked up

Austin Croshere. Except the other toy was cheap and tinny.

Calhoun didn't accept Croshere's commitment because he was waiting for Kirk King to decide.

He wanted to come here

 

[444JR]

And Clingan will not be on campus. He's supposed to fly down to Miami on Sunday to begin workouts for the draft process. Not sure about Castle.

Not sure if someone answered already, but Castle was in Los Angeles, CA this week.

Only for those who could care less though

Croshere wanted to come here for sure but as we all know Providence always has a shot.

Where are you seeing this? Not on Storrs Central or Discord so I’m just curious.
