Podcast with Amida Brimah

[gwhuskyfan]

Hey everyone - new CT Scoreboard episode. I was lucky to get some time with Amida Brimah! We talk about his UConn career - from the title run to buzzer beaters, losing to Wagner and more - then get into his pro career and what life in the G League is like. I had a ton of fun making this episode, and hope you guys enjoy!

Great interview. Keep them coming. That was a fun one. And gampel really was that loud against Florida.

@gwhuskyfan - Any plans to talk to other former recent players ?

Good stuff.

One thing I wish you asked him, or maybe If you get Jalen Adams on, is what they think about G League vs playing overseas and the balance between wanting to get paid while they can vs. the goal of making the NBA. Would apply to any of our guys in G League really. Interested what they would say.

This was great. Really great to hear about KO and Shabazz after the loss to Louisville and how it galvanized the team. Thank you!

That's a great question. I'll make sure I ask if I can get some time with any of those guys

Great Podcast
The vets not putting any pressure on him to make the FT against St Joe’s
was a good indication of how mature and poised that 2014 team was.
Brimah must have cried when Hamilton left early. That was a great combination.
He played on NC team , another AAC championship and NCAA team and an NIT team
Not bad for a tall skinny soccer player Not introduced to BB until he was 16 who walked the 20 miles for his meeting with the man who brought him to the states.
