The lack of patience people have is perhaps understandable but still pretty amazing to Chief. Chief like everyone else is tempted to speculate publicly about how many scholarships are available due to guys leaving or not leaving the team. We have always been instructed not to though. Of course, the answer to that question answers how many guys we can bring in, followed by who.
I think I am allowed to say this, the self imposed docking of a scholarship definitely complicates life in the Werth complex. As someone posted, how many ships did UNC self dock for fake classes? But, no need to, since the NCAA said that’s ok.

Does Chief hang with Jimmy

Spring weekend is next weekend - wish it was like it was before Herbst screwed things up!
See Chief, just stick to posts like this and you will be far less insufferable.

Realy disappointed with the Precious thread, as it never quite reached the potential of the failed Diamond Stone recruiting thread. That one took a lot of the fire out of this board.

I still can't believe people think Precious to Memphis would be a good thing for us. Nothing about this would make me lose faith in Hurley or feel bad about our excellent recruiting class, but getting beaten for our #1 priority by a conference rival would be objectively awful news.

Precious to any school but UConn is not good for UConn.

I don't give a ratsbutt about the AAC outside of UConn, nor should anyone else. UConn is in this until he signs or at least commits elsewhere.
This board will make people drink

Hurt to duke can’t help either right?

Wasn’t kansas in the periphery if this until hurt decided?

Nobody thinks this. Seriously.

They just think that of the bad news, it would be least bad.

I don't know why this is so hard for some people.

I understand your reasoning, even though I think Precious to Memphis is not actually less bad. Others have had much stronger, less nuanced positions than you.

Fanduel +12000. Feels mispriced given there is decent probability of another 5 star joining the ship... some weird odds on there, for example Illinois is also +12000.... UConn +18000

Here’s the things obviously uconn can sell to precious that we have over some other schools :
1) we were on him early
2) hurley connection to high school precious went to
3) 4 titles (uconn brand/history)
4) close to home
5) uconns nba success with players
6) he ll be a god in the state if he helps turn uconn around-and his name will never be forgotten - he ll be man here immediately. At those other blue blood schools he ll be just another good player.
***hurley and company sell those points hard(especially #5,6) - we got as good a shot as any.
3 and 4 can't really be a good sale if they are tied to a coach(s) not currently coaching Uconn.
