I like playing Cobb and Carlton together. It's more like a normal basketball team. A center and power forward, imagine that!
Put Larrier or Polley at the small forward.
Vital at the shooting guard and Adams/Anderson at the PG.
It's like a real basketball team. A team where players have positions.

He was talking about how uconn may need to adjust where they are recruiting. A lot of northeast kids might not want to play for a school that only plays half of it's games anywhere close to the northeast. Cinci isn't in the northeast so has nothing to do with what he was saying. Is it that hard to comprehend?

The Huskies looked like they could possibly hang around for a while and maybe make a run until about 5-7 minutes into the second half when it looked like the Bearcats had worn them down. From then on they looked beaten and broken, no fight, no grit. Blow-by layups and open threes for Cincy with UConn either slow or absent on defensive assignments. Game over at that point.
Footnote: Cincy with 23 points off turnovers while UConn only 3 points.

You’ve been a season ticket holder for too long to be Ollie’s Mom, why do you want to give him a lifetime contract?

That was the save KO’s job portion of the broadcast. As predictable as the commercial timeouts.
It's a silly argument.
If a kid from the northeast wants to play way more than half his games in the northeast, then he has to go to a low-mid major program. If playing at home was so important, they wouldn't choose a school where they hardly ever play in the northeast. LSU for example. If you're from New Haven, and playing in front of family in friends is that important, you aren't going to go to Louisiana.
Kentucky; Louisville, Arizona Sstate, Nebraska, Va Tech, St. Louis and Davidson all pulled in a top 10 recruit from New England schools.
If playing in the northeast was so important, why go so far away? Surely 14-16 home games is better than zero?

That list is just painful. Waters may or may not be a part but we whiffed on Diallo and dropped the ball on MAL.
Who missed on them? Maybe Ollie?
And retention?
Please stop apologists.
I didn't say whether or not I agreed with him. I said as far as his argument was concerned the same old "look at cinci and wsu and smu" argument does not apply.
And just to clarify, because Tremont Waters didn't care about where he would be playing his games geographically, it's not possible that other kids might?
Before you answer I can say with 100% certainty that is not true because there is at least one kid I know that weighed that into where they ended up going to school...
I didn’t say you agreed with him. I didn’t say anything about you. I said the argument is silly. And you just agreed with it.
Of course other kids might. But if it was extremely important, they’d stay home instead of cutting their nose off to spite their face.
Edit:
BTW, that kid is either an idiot, or is lying to you about how important it was for him to play close to home.

Every dog has its day. .500 Oregon St. is giving Zona all they can handle. Indeed, every dog, 'cept Uconn over the past 2 years.
You're arguing that a kid who could play half his games in front of family and friends but the rest pretty far from home, chose to play all of his games pretty far from home, because half just wasn't enough.
Try this analogy. You're sitting outside blaze pizza starving, and you really want a pizza. You could go have Arby's, or Panera, or Five Guys, or Chik Fil A. Or maybe even Ruth's Chris, or Morton's, or J. Gilbert's. And there are people there waiting to give you something off the menu for free. You just can't have pizza.
But you really want pizza. You don't just want pizza, you want the whole pie. It's important to you. You dreamed for years of having that whole pie to yourself. You want the whole pizza like that drunk kid wanted jalapeno bacon, mac and cheese.
So I offer you half of my pizza. Only half. That's the deal. You can have any pizza you want, as long as it's a half.
Do you take it? Or do you say "nah, keep your pizza, i want the whole thing or nothing at all."
Seth's argument is if guys can't have the whole pizza, then they don't want any pizza at all.
It's a dumb argument.

I didn't miss the point. There are plenty of strong teams outside the P5. UConn is in the most densely populated part of the country - there is absolutely no reason for us not to be respectable
