Precious to Memphis

Dream Jobbed 2.0 said:
Weird stuff and Memphis recruiting is nothing new. Aside from the stuff Pastner and Cal actually got caught for people tend to forget the super sketchy hiring of Keelon Lawson who just happened to be the father of of some top rated recruits.

It's been a majorly dirty program my entire lifetime.
 
We knew this ship had passed, and now it is official

Yes, the regrettable Dana Kirk era. I believe their 1985 Final Four appearance was posthumously vacated. They were the only non-Big East team in it that year. Then there was Larry Finch. Pastner. Calipari. They likely fired Tubby Smith because he refused to cheat. Is there any word lower than cesspool to recount the history of Memphis BB?

Yep, that's it. He was a huge Anfernee Hardaway fan growing up.

The way the word "legend" gets thrown around nowadays is hilarious.

Watch some videos and get back to me. Sans injury he would have been an all time great. Plus he has the penny foamposites. Kids like that stuff. Also you’re a legend bro

Well at least now we can get out of this holding pattern and find out what the staff is doing with the final roster spot.

I’m going to be devils advocate and say nothing of substance. Deja vu. The ghost of coaches past still looming. Prepare league, schedule, travel, no post season, negative recruiting, plenty of PT, grinding, and tradition arguments.


I want a stud to commit that we have been on from the start. Why are we opening, working and not closing?? Money. Venue. Press. Whatever. We need to up our game and realize we are not UConn right now, but the University of Connecticut and will be until we win. We are in the verge of 4 straight loosing seasons. I’m chapped.

This has got to be one of your dumbest posts of late. You keep setting your own bar for stupidity higher and higher. You're right we should all root for the AAC to suck, that will help us out long-term.

lol how is your ten million coming along

try rooting for uconn and not their competition.

imagine the places you’ll go.

if you are dimwitted enough to think the AAC is going to elevate UConn you should probably go back to the beginning.

horray. I hope memphis state cheats hard enough that someone notices the aac. impossibly dim.

Does UConn benefit financially if an AAC team (not UConn) wins the National Championship?

lol sure they get 1/12th of some tournament credits.

root for ucf football. we get a taste of that too!
 
Congrats to Memphis. Their coach and staff delivered an all-time great class (1, 17, 25, 38, 81) while ours managed to snag about as good as we can expect (61, 67, 93) given our conference and the state of the program. Hurley should focus our recruiting efforts on the types of recruits who fall in the 50-100 range from now on as it’s clear we are not realistically going to be players for the 5 stars unless we can swipe one from PSA. Our continued inability to recruit talented bigs remains our achilles heel.
 
Looks like you could use a lesson in reading comprehension as well. Where in my post above do I say anything about the AAC elevating UConn? For us to be successful it needs to be the other way around, but here's the catch that your tiny pea brain probably cannot comprehend:

We will be a better team if we play (and beat) better competition on a regular basis. I consider this the end of this discussion because you have little of value to offer here (much like most of the rest of your whiny posts).
 
i obviously have zero respect for our fanbase - but you losers cheering for memphis state are by far and away the worst. you get the bob diaco seal of approval.

Unless the rules have changed and there are going to be three basketballs next season this is going to be the biggest circus anyone has ever seen.

Been thinking that the whole time. This team will need two basketballs....but yeah, maybe its three.

This wasnt exactly the UConn fan passion I envisioned Precious at Memphis would generate...but I'll take it. Whichever way it cuts, this has the juices flowing.

This post makes zero sense, Memphis and UConn are in the same conference. Akok was ranked like #22.
 
what is happening right now.

Rooting for Memphis is so stupid though. We need the AAC to crash and burn for us to have a shot, not for it to be a mid major forever.

I found something worse, a UConn fan congratulating Memphis and then saying UConn could never be expected to get any 5 star type players because of our conference and standing as a program.

So you’ve shown in this point that:
1) You aren’t capable of discussing your dumb comment, so you need to change the subject.
2) You clearly have some self confidence issues since you immediately turn to personal attacks whenever someone questions your dumb comments.
3) You still can’t explain to anyone clearly why the AAC being terrible is good for UConn.

ive wasted time discussing things with you - and you blabbed on and on about inside info even after i was proven correct and you were proven wrong.

if you are so stupid as to root for memphis state’s recruiting don’t let me stop you. people have cheered on stupidity here for years - most figure it out at some point.

Love the passion but we need the AAC to be good. It's better for UConn to play Memphis at 7pm on ESPN right before Duke/UNC (won't happen but still). If Memphis didn't have a dynamite class we would be playing them on Thursday @ 9pm on Espn+ or CBS Sports Network.
 
UofCT2009 said:
Classic boneyard. We got posters harassing people for cheering for AAC teams yet every single one of us wanted UCF to beat Duke, and Houston to beat Kentucky.
Expand ...

Anyone who is not a fan of Duke wants whoever is playing Duke to win. Same for Kentucky. The motivating factor is animosity against Duke. It has nothing to do with supporting the other team.
 
I'm not happy that Precious has chosen Memphis per se, but I do like the fact that the entire Memphis story is poised to give this place life. We have been without a good rival since the BE ended for us. Now we have the building blocks for some passion again. Now many of us might actually pay attention to in conference games w/o UConn. There is now a compelling a story.
