Man the guy is passionate about a player coming in and gets hammered…….when I say hammered I don't mean he was drinking when he posted although he may very well have been……..

Leave him be! :eek:

You know how it works here, guy throws out some sunshine or a rainbow, the 'Yard throws back rocks. And when theyre all out of rocks, they throw bricks.
 
No Toraino Walker or Donny Marshal in the talk of UCONN's tradition of strong, undersized PFs?

I don't know much about Hayward, and I didn't see much of Freeman's career at UConn aside from replays I've seen of 1998 and 1999 games. I may be biased because Adrien was a player when I was at UConn, but when you are close to averaging a double-double throughout your sophomore, junior and senior seasons, that's pretty warrior-y.

UConn's all-time Warrior of the modern era?

LYMAN DEPRIEST.

Really no debate.

He is my official new favorite Husky. We can talk about recruits for the future all we want. I think Lubin is the future and the present at 6-8 260. To have an athletic Charles Oakley as our PF for the next 4 years--we will be fine.

Our team is going to be great next year--answers everywhere with more power upfront. Yes we won the championship last year and we deserved it but we also couldve lost to St Joseph in game !! I think this team will show more balance--it wont have a Napier and Boat just a boat but a Lubin and improved Facey Hamilton Purvis Cassell Brimah with 20-25 more pds Nolan bigger faster stronger better STACKED and look 4 ward to the rock!!!

Kind of like the type of posters that would NOT be allowed entry the Rehab Pool Party at Hard Rock in Vegas? :)

We could also use one for those of us that are too old to go to rehab anymore. We get up at noon, have lunch at Pink Taco, and then head back up stairs for a nap.

Is this a euphemism?

Lubin decided to attend a D1 college that also happens to be one of the top CBB schools in the country. He has the same expectations as Scrappy. We are not being overly optimistic. If he's reading this thread he wants us to pour on the expectations. Hopefully it all works out. If it doesn't, it wasn't because we expected or wanted too much from him.

Was Adrien warriorer than Freeman? Compare/contrast to Hayward.

Hayward is a distant third in that company.

Lubin is intriguing. He was once a ranked recruit but fell off the cliff after sitting out a year because of injury (back injury I think, but not 100% on that). He's gained fifty pounds of muscle since recovering from said injury and models his game after the Birdman. Very intriguing indeed.

Oh hell, let's just go all the way: Lubin will consume the Opposition with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

Or because he decided to drown himself in a sea of beer and pvssy. I'm looking at you Chad Wise.

Is this true? Chad was a party dude?

Oh yeah man. He could have been a decent role player if he applied himself imo. Kid love a good night out.

I saw Chad play the fall practices prior to official practice with JC and reported here that he would eventually become more than people thought he would based on the late signee tag……..the kid had great hops, could shoot and handle it - he had game!

Or Tim Coles, who was the best I've ever seen for UConn.

Just curious as to what you're basing this on? Has anyone here actually seen him play? He looks like a strong 260 from a few pics I've seen, but I don't know how we can have any expectations based on his 20 seconds of youtube highlights.

I watched that full game of his--he looks very very good. This guy is an instant impact player imho.
