Get over it. These are competitive kids. You know nothing about what was going on in that game. If you watch the video closely you can see that all the clips where he clapped and celebrated excessively were against one particular team. Could be a rivalry or very close tight knit game. Did you see how into it the fans were? He was caught up in the moment and enjoying the game. I would rather have someone be overly passionate and care rather than someone be lethargic out there like Marcus Williams used to be.

absolutely, you can teach a kid to reel in his "heart", but the worst is to have no emotion and heart. Jerome Dyson was basically a robot and that always upset me. AJ Price had the heart for the rest of the team the same way Kemba did in 2011. Jeremy Lamb barely has a pulse, without Kemba there to amp him up, he'd fall asleep by halftime most games

Wow, Dyson seemed to me one of the most intense kids we've had in awhile.
 
A little update. I've been direct messaging back and forth with Swift today. Very nice, polite kid. I told him how well his athleticism would fit with Purvis and Hamilton. He just wrote back saying it's going to be "great with the three of us together". Take all this with a grain of salt obviously but I think he's extremely interested in us and might accept being a rotation guy.

Dyson played hard - not always smart, but hard. Lamb's cool demeanor probably was what helped him knock down some real big-time shots as a freshman.

Emeka, Ben, Donyell, Smitty, Rudy and Ray were mostly stoic (as were Doron and Nadav). Khalid, Rashad, Kemba and Caron were emotional.

No one thing works for everyone.

Well, except for Steely Dan and Chicken Marsala.

Dyson left everything on the court. Even his front tooth.

Just a quick question...Are there rules that say fans/boosters aren't supposed to contact potential recruits? Just being cautious. I don't know the answer.
 
Knowing the NCAA's attitude towards UConn, a poster on a UConn board saying he contacted a recruit would be enough evidence for a 5 year suspension!!

Seems like it is a violation, but almost impossible to police.

Not sure, but I thought the NCAA rules regarding twitter and facebook communication had changed recently. Emailing a recruit is definitely a violation, but others may not be now. Just thought I read that somewhere this past summer -- but can't remember...

Never mind... I must have read something that was incorrect or misremembered. Looks like tweeting a recruit to attend your school is definitely a violation. Sorry about that.

What if I hate my school? What I got a degree at one school and a second degree at a school whose sports teams I hated? What if I pretended to be an alum from another school? What if I took one class at a school, got a refund after dropping out the first week, just so I could trigger NCAA penalties against the school I hated?

For that reason, I don't think it's enforceable for the average fan. I think if Uncle Phil were out there tweeting at recruits to consider Oregon, then maybe there's something to that. Not sure what the rule really is or should be.

It's definitely a violation.

If you're beyond college age and you've tweeted a recruit, there is something wrong with you.

The NCAA cannot possibly police Twitter - they'd have to be the NSA.

He was scheduled to visit this weekend but he wanted to reschedule. He told me that his mom was unable to come this weekend but she really wanted to come with him. He said it's not rescheduled yet but he wants to come soon.
