Definitely not better than Giffey as a frosh.

Have 2 Niels Giffeys played for us? I'm talking about the one who averaged 2 pts, 1 rb, shot 40% from the field and 32% from 3, with a 1/2 A/TO ratio in 10 minutes per game as a freshman.

Man you know Vance dad lurking this thread like "what the hell is a mumu?"

This is quite possibly the best post ever on the Boneyard.

Did you just subpost Vance Sr?

At this point, Vance himself has done nothing to merit this.

AO all over again. When folks need to be angry, doesn't much matter to them who they are mad at.

Freshman Giff was playing great D and hitting transition 3s at Maui, but he was also making uncatchable bullet passes inside to AO. Great program guy.

There should zero seconds of anger generated toward vAnce.

But tons toward Rodney "Kinda Nervous" Purvis, Amida "Weak to the Hole" Brimah and Kevin "I Miss me Some Steph" Ollie

Umm, no way, Twitter is awesome. It's the best news feed possible and gives some other juicy stuff at times like Vance Sr. going off. Drunk Tweets are the best ever.

I can't tell you how many posts are explained by that one.

Twits tweeting on Twitter reminds me of a couple of Monty Python sketches.

You're going to make fun of a parent's divorce? Seriously?

Not even close to Griffey. Jackson wouldn't have smelled the court on that team.

Its interesting to me how a variety of intelligent posters have such different takes on this. Giffey was not good as a freshman IMO. Too timid, couldn't shoot. I don't think he was ever really good under JC. He did play solid D but I have to imagine Vance is going to have a superior year, certainly statistically. That said, I don't know if Vance would have gotten much run on that squad. Maybe the same position, but such different players - depending on the roster, either could be a better fit.

Did I?

 

[joober jones]

Can we officially change his name to Vance jAcKsOn?

I don't get it. Please explain for me and any other potential slow pokes who saw this post.

I now have half a mind to benevolently hijack this thread with Monte Python skits.

Ah, what the heck, let's all have a laugh:

Stephanie is KO's ex wife, not his daughter. I think that's what you might be misremembering.

If I could like my own posts, I would like this one.

It really surprises me that some people seem to forget that AO himself talked sh@t about Calhoun and UConn both while he was here and in a scathing article after he transferred. Screw him.

And as far as I remember it was AO himself, not his father, who called Calhoun a Mumu on twitter.

Two completely different situations. Vance has been nothing but a positive teammate, AO, not so much.

The guy is right. Since the divorce, Kevin appears to be a skeleton of his former self. I can understand how it would happen to someone.

Great point. Although I don't feel the critique of Vance is far from the truth. The posters who want this removed need to grow a sack. We are responding to a series of tweets that attack the core of this program. If we don't defend the team, who will? Sometimes the truth hurts. If a parent can't handle it, especially at a high major, then to bad. I will say this about anyone on who plays for UConn: look on the wall around you at practice..... No one is ever bigger than the program, not them and certainly not you. I think Vance will develop into a fine player. If he or anyone thought there were greener pastures elsewhere, so be it.

Niels averaged 8mpg and 2ppg his freshman year. He was great against Kentucky scoring 14 and hitting 3's. He scored 90 total points his freshman year. 50 in the first 10 games, 40 in the last 31. Vance is already a better player than Niels was as a freshman. Don't let his play in Maui hide the rest of his season.

Yes, but Giffey played 8 minutes a game for a national champion. Jackson is contributing for a team that isn't even good. There are lots of freshman around the country making big numerical contributions to mediocre teams that wouldn't get on the court at Duke or Nova.

That was my point. Treating lightly a couple's divorce, when they have children who have to deal with it, is in my view just not kosher. If I misinterpreted something I'm sorry but I don't think I did.

It's now officially reasonable to move this thread to the cesspool.
