Ollie??

[babysheep]

after i fight warde one of these days in the parrking lot behind the xl, i want your ass next. i'm 5'9 180 and i am the nastiest mother ****er under the moon with a couple shots and a pissed off attitude.

down, boy

 

[FriarJ]

Pretty sure almost any coach at a BE school has pulled something that could be considered "dirty."

I'm calling the "I'm at all the gym's I see it" BS

 

[Dann]

Here is the truth, you don't see ****. You know nothing, and all you are is one of the internet tools that throw as much **** against the wall as you can so you can go around screaming at the top of your lungs how ****ing smart you are when something sticks. S my D loser.

wrong, i play at a local gym weekly with kids and old guys. i see stuff that u think only dirty coaches do an not your inocent cooley man. my older cuz played for him at . i'm not a idiot either. i went to prep. i know the in and outs of that gym and the other local ones unlike most. i played with craig before hs and have been in gyms when local kids are getting workouts. the truth is cooley is working very closely with the cbc trying to capture local kids tat are at or below uconns level. hes 100% after a big guy in ct and hes pulling every chain possible. there are certain kids in the local gyms wearing providence pennys all of a sudden. they must have bought those i guess...your a jackass that has nothing to talk about. i'm a jackass becuse i have a lot to talk about. see the difference. stay on your scout board. i know its tuff becuase u only have 15 guys who are everyday posters there but your just going to have to live in the reality of what providence bball is and will be. a very good mid major program who will get a lot of local kids but never return to greatness program wise. your going to have a nice big guy in the 2014 class on your hands, but you and the 14 other fans will soon find out how u landed him by checking your roster opening night. clown on bro. s my d all day. btw next time u see cooley, ask him who paid for a certain team in north east ct's nike 2 tone sneaks for this fall as a thank u/stay in contact. dont be scared, ask him......heres the last gem for u. s my d again.

 

[MidTown Husky]

Well, I don't know much about football, or at least not enough to evaluate talent. On the basketball side, I think there is talent, but it's not the same level as the past 10 years or so. I don't think you can look at UConn's roster and say, he's def. going to be a lottery pick.

I don't disagree with you, I'm just saying these are uncertain times

Ok, I had to go to use my idiot translator but I think I have what you are trying to say figured out now. You are saying that Cooley is dirty because he is handing out PC swag to recruits? and that is how he is going to end up landing a specific 7'1" player from Connecticut; is that about right?

Two things, there is a great video recently posted on youtube showing Brandon Austin working out and how he is working hard to improve his game, in the video he is wearing a nice brand new pair of UConn uniform shorts (didn't help you)

Handing out swag is not a violation, you should know this but apparently you don't.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Except for Bazz and Boat the other starters are our bench players if this is a normal year. Our depth(or lack of) has to play significant time.
We take the court shorthanded every game.

I think the effort that KO is getting out of this team is great. They beat MSU and took NC State to the wire.

No fan should be disaapointed in this effort.

Bottom line: SIGN KO NOW !!!!!

 

[jleves]

Trust me, Ollie ain't the problem. Anyone can see that.
Even a poker pro can't win with a bad hand.

Actually, the best poker pros do win with a bad hand - that's what make them pros. If it was the best hand that won every time, poker would be a boring game and eventually the money would just even out. The fact that they can make money with bad hands is why they are the top pros.

I kinda get where you were going, but your analogy is flawed. Bad poker examples bug me like movies that show football games with the clock continuing to run after a kickoff is finished....

 

[Dann]

lol When has Prep ever won anything?

what does prep winning have anything to do with this? i would have to bet that if u go to a hs in ct then prep has won more state ships then yours. speak up

the pennys/swag was a bad attempt on my bad as code for other things i guess. lets just say this type of thing is used in daily life an has a worth to it. i'm ot going to go on and on about it. the truth about austin is the week he was supose to announce that monday he didn't get into the program he wanted to so he played it out a bit and then he committed to prov. you got a good commit there. uconn upped its admissions which i dont agree with. thats costed us 2 recruits on the trail, xrm.... ko's contract also costed us one. its a mess right now at uconn. how cooleys going to land that player in ct is thru $ and a favor for another player. bookmarkit.

 

[FriarJ]

You can't make this stuff, priceless shit really... Brandon Austin was denied admission to UConn but PC accepted him. Good stuff.

 

[Fishy]

Threads like this make me cringe knowing that there's a "Boneyard" banner over this message board.

Honestly, it's like putting a Bentley badge on a Buick.

Love the history of Providence basketball. Joey Hassett was my favorite Friar of all time. Loved his shooting stroke and tried to emulate it as a kid (didn't work that well hahahaha). Of course also loved Joey Whelton back in those days. Time flies but the memories never fade.

Good luck to your team. Hopefully the rivalry will never end.

BLUEDOG good ole days of the road trips to the ECAC's at PCC with URI and Sly, PC and Eason, Hassett, Soup and BC with Cobb and Huskies with Abro, Joey, Carr............time does fly doesn't it??

When it comes to athletes, I don't know what happens. But I guarantee you, this does happen to regular students. Esp. since it's harder to get into UConn than it is to get into PC.

Best times of my life. My dad and I lived and died with each shot. You and I could rap endlessly about those days.

Best of health to you bro. Thoughts are with you.

The kid is fully qualified with no academic issues, full SAT scores, core requirements, proper time frame and grades but he was denied admission to UConn and that is why he chose PC. Honestly I can't stop laughing about this new turn.

I'm not so sure about that to be perfectly honest. Unless the landscape of each institution's academics have changed drastically over the past few years. I remember applying to college and UCONN/ PC were among my schools applied to. I got offered a full ride to UCONN and didn't sniff nearly as much from PC. Now this isn't the end all be all since UCONN is a national university and PC a regional college but I think something it is worth noting. I love the track UCONN has been taking academically, but it still has a way to go.

 

[FriarJ]

UConn has made amazing strides over the past 10 years and even though they are completely different schools, I suspect they are pretty close when it come to acceptance.

 

[IMind]

PC acceptance rate 2010: 61%
UConn acceptance rate 2010: 47%

Not close.

*accidentally put wrong rate earlier... for PC

Look at acceptance rates and SATs. UConn has much lower acceptance rates and much higher SATs, not to mention a lot more students. In every single measure, UConn is much more difficult to get into.

WE ARE UCONN!

 

[PacificStorm]

Considering that UConn had only two players that were offensive threats, NCSU's quite lucky to have escaped with a narrow win. For a top-tier team in the ACC, they are not that strong. With 2-3 less turnovers and made easy lay-ins, Uconn could have scored an upset. Oh, well, maybe next time. But I liked what I saw.

I'm guessing the stories would be endless........John Toner stopped in the streets on Providence and drank out of our champagne bottle the night UConn/Whelton/Carr won the ECAC tourney late 70's.......loved those years BD and glad you have those memories with dad.........Dad started me at the Field House when I was 10 watching Wes B and it has never stopped.........best to you too my friend!!!

 

[Nostical]

Best atmosphere was in the old Field House with Wes B, Corley, Penders, etal. We sat in the dark and watched the lighted court--like a prize fight. It added to the drama. Once the insurers insisted the lights be on in the stands, the aura changed.
