No he walked on. Plus he was a year earlier.

He walked on. Wolf & Giffey were both Germans on scholarship.
It was misreported that Bradley (not a German) gave up his scholarship for Drummond. So you are forgiven on that account.

As much as you're on here you would've read it for sure.
Anyway who really cares about whether we wanted Dunn 10 years ago? Moot point, between injuries and not being as good as Bazz and Boat this would have been his only decent year and he would've shared it with Boat. It all worked out for the best - NEXT. Go try to win a NCAA game today, good luck and have fun today.

Surprised that you never heard that since it was presented in this forum and you lurk here frequently. Obviously not frequently enough although many here would disagree with me.
As you say Dunn would have come but the scholarship wasn't available. Andre was unique in that he was willing to play as a walk on even though he passed up a scholarship to many universities. Nothing insidious about that. JC could have almost doubled his contract two years after the first NC by heading to South Carolina but didn't.

For FriarJ: I wanted Dunn, I wish we had Dunn and PC was much better then UCONN this year. I have no problem with any of it. I'm just telling you, Dunn couldn't come here, there was no room. Further, if it weren't for sanctions and bad press, I'm pretty sure we would have made room for him but it was just a bad time to pull something like that.

Dunn is dynamic and one of the best players in the country, I'm pretty sure all UConn fans wish we had him but there simply wasn't a spot for him. I'm rooting for Dunn and Providence in the tournament, Ed Cooley is a great coach and a good person.

Guys, you should know better than this....you're dealing with Providence fans, when have logic and fact ever been considered by them?? They come over to this board because they actually think they are superior to us. Don't you remember in 2004 when they couldn't stop talking about how they beat us? You know, the year that we won our 2nd NC.....and 7 years after the last time they won an NCAA game??? Quit while your're behind, it only leaves these idiots longer to linger on our board.
BTW, I would root for Duke over PC just because of these two imbeciles.

This thread was an invitation for them to come post. Hell the title was a siren for them. We can't blame them for posting or say they are not wanted here when they were 'invited'.
Its like hanging a piece of meat in front of a hungry lion.
The bigger question is why the hell is the OP even thinking about peecee in March?
good point.....any time PC is even referenced on our board it gives them the opportunity to come running over and say "look at us....we're relevant!!"

Providence sucked ass yesterday. jesuuus. I guess they are not destined to win NCAA tournament games. what a shame. I though they had a good chance to advance to even the Sweet 16.
All the providence fans are quiet today. LOL

How sad are you troll that Nova showed they are a fraud who only won so many games because they played in a very average conference?
The new big east is what I thought they were, average at best and laughably over seeded and over rated

If his dream was to lose in the opening round of the NCAA tournament 2x, consider it Dream Fullfilled!

I thought it was when one of their players was shooting a free throw and his brother walked out of the stands onto the court to start a fight.

yeah. they lost. is the nature of the tournament. the two highest rated RPI conferences have underperformed the most. Its comes down to match ups and the Big East teams didn't show up (except Butler who fought real hard). The least expected team is in the Sweet16. over seeded? no at all. over rated? based on these losses, yes. based on their season body of work they were not overrated

The NBE fell flat on its face again when it matted. Nova proved to be a product of an average league, again. List me all the good teams they beat OOC? VCU was the only team who made the tournament that they played OOC. 1 whole team. Providence played 2. Not hard to rack up wins and inflate your RPI when you play NIT and CBI teams.

Providence fans thought UConn would falter when Calhoun retired. Then Ollie won a title.
They think Cooley is "the guy". He's not. He's an okay division one basketball coach. Nothing more.
They puffed out their chests for their conference affiliation and getting into the Tournament. Then, like they always do, gagged on a cack.
Pardon me for not being surprised by any of this.

Its hard for me to see how a 31-2 team can be overrated (#1 seed) playing in a major conference like the Big East. I definitely think that they were deserving of the seeding based on their conference record. You are pointing out their OOC schedule which I agree is far from impressive but they definitely defeated a heck lot of top 50 teams in conference play which is definitely enough to get you a #1 seed on any given year if you are from a major conference. Now, obviously with a result like that against NC State the questions are going to come in on whether they actually deserved it, and that's fine. Did they live up to their seeding? definitely not... But did they deserved their seeding? I think so. I don't see why not. The 31-2 record is there on a strong Big East.
Providence also was deserving of a 6th seed, despite the upset. I don't see how their 22-12, RPI#25 (and a highlight OOC win against Notre Dame) is not enough to get them in comfortably into the NCAAs.
I would like to ask you if you think that Virginia was deserving of a #2 seed? I definitely think they are despite the upset loss. They won the ACC regular season and had a great record in a major conference. The body of work was there. I don't understand how an upset in the NCAA tournament disqualifies a teams body of work prior to the tournament
