Maybe he’ll buy something up here and pop out to a couple big East games?

He’s moving into a party mansion with Chief and Andre Drummond so they can all go to UConn games together. It’s gonna be called “Blaze Manor” and the urinals will be enormous.

He hasn't forgotten his Huskies . . .

He only has two courts. I need 3, maybe settle for 2.5.

Please don't let a Duke fan buy this.

There's an indoor practice room, too.

I...much prefer his taste to Rudy Gay’s.

is the boat included?

 

[FatHank]

This is a proper crib. A must have.

I'd be content with the gazebo outside.

These houses are huge and hideous. What's the deal with people in places like Florida and Vegas thinking these homes look nice? They look like dumps to me. I'd take an 1,800 square foot home in New England every day.

Not me. Rudy went with the old logo

A lot of pro players keep houses in Florida because there is no state income tax. But RIP isn't making ten million a year any more and the housing market is pretty good. Someone is giving him good advice.

Not sure its a good thing, limiting potential buyers. Its not like UConn is a big State, hopefully our alumni is looking for a house this size. Perhaps its priced accordingly.

Different strokes for different folks. But there is a reason Rip was living in a community of multi-million dollar homes. There are plenty enough people with means who like them. And most of those people aren't living in them full time. It's just a nice crash pad when you want to settle down for a bit.
The $10-$20 million gets you a few acres, 10sq ft of home, an outdoor basketball court and direct access to the Atlantic ocean. Beats a 2500 sq ft apartment in a NYC high rise.

Perhaps built to withstand storms?

Can we use the listing as a recruiting tool?

Rutgers already did.

I'm sure if you have $9M for the house you can shell out an extra $1000 to repaint the court

We'll see if you change your tune after signing your first $100 million contract............

Yeah, you're right. I wouldn't know, hence my post.

Why would you want to? Best part of the house

His Florida house probably comes with working electric power and his total property and income taxes are far less in Florida than yours in Ct.

Money comes and goes. My life and my spending habits don't change based upon my income. Never have. All I need is sports to watch, golf to play, beaches to lay on, ponds to fish, beers to drink, food to grill, and mountains to snowboard on. I can do all of that with $50K/year or $100 million. Life is simple. No one needs a mansion.

the old logo would’ve looked much nicer in that cheesiness court

Not me. Rudy went with the old logo

Another reason there are so many huge houses in FL... ( that and drug money)

Maybe we can take up a collection and get this done?

Yeah, I was considering make the purchase, but that was the deal breaker for me. Two counts, I am not living like a peasant!
