Post Player Workouts (Emeka, Diarra, Mo Bamba)

[SouthBayHusky]

Can I take not seeing the "NEXT" yet from 99 or Zion as meaning not NEXT and possibly something ?

 

[Huskyforlife]

Corey Evans on twitter said we're not recruiting him... but who knows.

 

[Caronimo]

We need a splash

I have had a lurking suspicion for a couple of months now that he is coming to UConn.

It just makes too much sense. He immediately makes them a championship contender, can operate within offensive and defensive systems conducive to showcasing his skills - both as a rim runner surrounded by shooters and the best point guard in America and as a rim protector with free reign to chase shots like Brimah did from day one - and actually maintain some semblance of originality and self-respect while playing for a coach that isn't an old white guy with two dozen other NBA players to attend to.

The fact that Texas is the perceived leader is indicative of the fact that he doesn't really want to go to Kentucky or Duke. Aside from the Smart connection, there is no reason to go there.

There has to be a reason no grad transfer north of 6'4 will give us a real look and there has to be a reason two top 100 recruits just left a trail of vague explanations on why they won't entertain the unlimited minutes being offered to them at a premier college basketball program. Ollie didn't can his loyal friend so that his new recruiter could scour for 2018 prospects that won't be here in time to save his job. Chill is here about the bodies, yo. Chill is here because John Calipari essentially walked into our practice facility and flipped a verbal. That won't fly.

And since we're on the topic of Hami, he might be coming here too. That's right, he and Bamba will both be in uniform this fall if Hami decides not to pursue the NBA (based on how he's testing at the combine, that seems unlikely).

No I'm not drunk, and if you want a source, let me direct you to two of the best I have: my eyes. @Chief00 tell the staff to get this kid on campus and tell them to bring bunky.

When Wilson MoBamba and Diallo (yes, Diallo) decide they come to Storrs

Why did I click on this thread? SMH

For the same reason as I CC.

 

[80shusky]

It's getting delusional up in here.

 

[Huskybass]

Is there a better role model than Emeka?

Emeka is an absolutely fantastic guy. Sure would be nice to have him on the staff in some capacity.

 

[BaZZnBOAT]

Just the way I like it!

When I first saw this picture I said "our big men are looking pretty good".

 

[tykurez]

This is exhibit (a) of the worst of the boneyard. Exhibit (b) will be when Bamba announces he's going to UK and we have a thread about how Chillings and Kill aren't paying dividends

 

[Kemba429]

Wait, did he rule out UConn when Miller was in charge?

We have a cynic in the room.

You don't recruit guys who are already on the team.

Where's Chief to break things down with a game of hangman for us simpletons?

Champs, I generally like you and your contributions to this board, but you've lost all credibility here with this post.

Unless you're trying to pull a Chief by just throwing as much at the wall as you can and seeing what sticks... all for likes. In which case you're a caricature just like Chief.

It was a joke

Killings Re tweeted it, Vital liked it.

And this is the classic Boneyard mental map. Innocuousness turns into blind thoughts which turn into belief which eventually leads to disappointment...then anger, range, and endless bitching. All starts here.
