I think we'd go after him as a Karaban replacement if Karaban is gone. Otherwise my sense is that McNeeley + Mahaney is the most likely outcome (with Karaban coming back)

Would this work, or not enough ball handling?

Diarra / Nowell
McNeeley / Ball
White / Ross / Abraham
Karaban / Stewart
Reed / Johnson / Singare

If no McNeeley, maybe you would swap him for Mahaney

You are talking to the guy whose daughter had her twice delayed Taylor Swift themed birthday party finally happen at 430pm the day we played Bama.

And yeah, I have accidentally spelled Sanogo’s name wrong twice in the last two years and was called out on it both times.

Was your daughter upset that you missed the party?
 
I don't really think he fits, honestly.

He's a driver to the rim who isn't a PG. We have some need for guys to attack off the bounce, but not that much, and probably enough between JStew, Diarra, and Ball (theoretically). He takes a lot of pull-up off the dribble midrange jumpers. He's not a big 3-point shooter (though he can hit it). Off ball movement isn't his game, he's an on-ball player.

Plus I still remember holding him to 2 points last year.

He'd be a better fit with Cooley at GTown.

The intentionally misspelled TSwift mention - and it's applicability to you - was quite conscious.

Without it, my "Sez the guy who can't even spell his own name" wouldn't have been enough for me to risk it being misinterpreted as a too-smug a dig at you. It has to be premised on appreciation for you...especially on a day when I'm stepping back from this forum to concentrate on the time-limited work that has brought me from KY to CT this week.

Your stepping up and into the moment as the birthday party dad & spouse resonated as a solid mojo marker in support of the back-to-back.

I wish for a good visit from Adrian Mahaney, and Kobe Brea if that too is in the works.

I wish for healthy clarity to come to Hassan Diarra and Liam McNeeley about their pending decisions.

I wish for Alex to get everything he wants and needs from his explorations of the NBA Draft process.

I wish for Stephon and Donovan all great continued success, and deep thanks for their on and off-court performance.

I wish similarly for Cam & Tristen whose magnificent brief Husky careers have naturally expired.

I wish success for Apostolos for his next steps in his journey.

I wish similarly for Andrew (and his parents).

I wish for all current team members respectful and supportive space to assess their next best steps as the portal entrance deadline approaches.

I wish for a period of productive skills building, camaraderie, and fun for those currently working out in Storrs.

I wish good mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health for the coaches, the staff, the players, and those of us here who root for UConn basketball. Those who aren't here for that purpose will likely find limited nourishment from their presence in The Boneyard, but they may nonetheless persist in chasing their buzz, so I wish my compatriots to limit how swayed they are by them, and how much they chase their own, ultimately unquenchable sugar rush.

Would love to know which paper that was in. I will write the author and castigate them! :)

you have no idea how mad I was. Did it on my phone and accidentally corrected a typo w/ a typo and hit post…Went back to edit, which of course you can’t.

Sorry for letting UConn Nation down….

relax, you let nobody down and I know you are joking but spell check causes all kinds of letters to pop up even when you type names correctly and more than once. Happens constantly. And there are people here who act as if they have been personally injured and think it’s very insulting to the player, the team and college basketball when they see this.

Never felt so much pressure with my spelling and grammar when I post on the boneyard. lol.

Fwiw, my offered corrections are rarely much more than pop-up speed bumps to re-balance the tone & tempo of the board by taking not of the cocksure who often proceed as though they are blind to their own imperfections.

Yeah, the only reason I care about this is because it completed derailed the thread from the jump, which it always does. Granted, misspelled names in thread titles does challenge my OCD on occasion, lol.

Always love the grammar nazis out here shooting for likes. Pettiness always prevails :D

Missed it? That was pure mojo! Soaked up every bit of it as part of my pregame.

NC State Head Coach Keats came from UNCW previously, They had a player on Lakers a couple years ago. Can't recall his name but UNCW is a very solid team. (plus my daughter went there. Had to brag :)

Whether it seems likely to you (or others) or not, I instantaneously wondered what your question - as worded - meant. I could imagine several possibilities, and that could leave me guessing, or asking for a clearer question, or even attempting to address several possibilities. The words can add up.

Also, several other possibilities could be in play.

I don't want to be rude and just blow you off because you haven't been more clear, but I also don't want faulty assumptions made about me just because I haven't been able to give a concise answer to something that hasn't been made clear.

Funny, I asked the same thing a few months ago. I guessed he was a retired lawyer. And he confirmed I was correct.

Well, that's not quite correct. I definitely admitted that retirement gives me more time, and I acknowledged that I couldn't fully reject your supposition about the fields I operated in, but that was much more of a double negative. And then I sent you some historical photo IDs that supported my indirect answer, without contradicting your impression.

By combining curiosity and patience to ask questions, and then following up with additional curiosity and patience, I like to increase the chances for higher quality and often unexpected outcomes. Not everybody wants to do that.

I take great care to operate consistently within values and principles I regularly articulate. If I didn't do so, I'd probably show up in some of the ways that are get incorrectly claimed about me by those disinclined to pay greater attention or work more collaboratively with me.

Much of what I write is of decent first draft quality. In other settings, it would make more sense to edit for breather simplicity. And it would help if others were motivated to join the process.
