Had some success with Philly kids in the past....RIP Hamilton.

Donyell Marshall also. Although Reading is a little further from Philly than Diggins is. I'd consider all 3 from the Philly area.

 

[olehead]

Plays a lot like Cuse's Tyler Ennis.
Edit: former Cuse guard Tyler Ennis

I think it's a bit of a stretch calling Coatsville (40 miles) or Reading (60 miles) Philly. Would have to think hard about the last legit Philly kid we got.

If Coatsville is Philly Norwalk is New York. If Reading is Philly Milford is New York. I think not.

Did someone named Hamilton pass away?

Yeah, I'd agree. But they all have the same Philly accent. So I'm going with them all being Philly kids.

Can't think of any Philly city kids UConn has ever had. Diggins is from Warminster, which is a Philly suburb in Bucks County.

Someone named Hamilton was from Coatsville, not Philly. Saying he's from Philly is like saying a kid from Bridgeport is from Hartford. Geography clearly not your strong suit. Nor is reading comprehension, as this was discussed above.

 

[M.S.G.]

Shamon Tooles, 2nd most famous person from Coatesville....

Best rapper tho

reading comprehension lol

he was just making a corney joke that RIP hamilton (not usually in all caps)= rest in peace, hamilton...

 

[fatlucy]

Incidental

 

[QDOG5]

corney joke

Here is how that type of joke would begin. "A guy named Thompson walks into a bar..."

You're right, my bad. Open mouth, insert foot

 

[QDOG5]

@uconngb, no offense taken my fellow Yarder. Most of what I post on here is fairly silly. The Boneyard is great because it is a Corneycopia of different ideas. My work is done here.

 

[Son of Robert]

Yeah but, generally speaking there has been some tough Big East guards come out of Philadelphia. Alvin Lee, who played for Nova, comes to mind. It's that same hard-nosed scrappy toughness you get out of NYC, or greater Boston for that matter. There are a hundred different places like this, it's that inner city thing.

Rashool looks like a real nice player.

 

[husky429]

Highlights from a few games this season.

 

[QDOG5]

. Alvin Lee, who played for Nova,

I'm pretty sure Alvin Lee played for Ten Years After.

Agreed.

 

[M.S.G.]

I actually have an unreleased Toolzie song, we did a little work together in the early 00's and I had a few demos and loose tracks.. Really good song actually.

Share it with the world.

Sounds like we’re firmly in his top 5 or so based on this interview .

 

[Mr. French]

wow the kid doing that interview is from Hilbert, a local D-3 literally down the street from me who I'm very familiar with. They are a tiny school, that's super cool I was pretty shocked seeing "Hilbert College Hawks" on his T shirt.

 

[Mr. French]

Interesting what he says - "most of them say the same thing, come in and play, put the ball in my hands ... except Villanova, they say you have to buy in first, so they're a bit different, that's more of a challenge."

 

[Austin316]

Jay Wright reloads. His pitch is similar to what Jim Calhoun used to say to his guys. You need to battle for minutes, nothings given to you. Much respect! Hope Hurley can adopt that mantra in a year or two once he‘s comfortable with his roster, talent, and recruiting circuit. We are so close!

 

[WhartonHusky]

I see a slightly less athletic AJ Price. But seems to be smooth and under control at all times.

 

[kansashusky]

I hope he is the new number 1 target. Love his game and toughness.
