Rodney Purvis- Transferring (BREAKING NEWS)

[johnhuskies95]

It's not entirely implausible that his mom is the one that wants him to transfer. Just because she pushed for him to go there originally doesn't mean that she doesn't want him to transfer.

I like your handle...Caronimo. Wonder what you thought of Butler before he committed to UConn.

I spend most of my time on the Football board but if this is the type of brilliance you hoops guys are throwing around then I'm visiting here more often.

Rico, that post was pure genius* my friend.


* I had to Google how to spell genius and I'm still not convinced there's not supposed to be an "o" in there somewhere.

Hopefully we get this done. This would be a great get for Ollie.

Also surprised if it isn't done soon. RT @GoodmanCBS: Would be extremely surprised if Rodney Purvis doesn't land at UConn.

Let's seal the deal before the Squid makes a move. Jeez, we deserve a McDonald's All-American once in a blue moon.

Rodney Purvis has also started following some sorority girls at UConn on Twitter.

Seems like a done deal.

Twitter is incredible.

[itquote="Hume, post: 561970, member: 3221"]Unlike you I won't get into name calling. The simple fact is you made a statement about the ACC being the best conference. As for reading comprehension you should try it yourself, what I said is your response was about disclaiming RPI, not your saying the ACC was the best based on RPI. The funny thing is if you agreed that the ACC wasn't the best conference all you would have had to say is this "I agree the ACC hasn't been the best conference in the recent past, that I had misunderstood, and that you meant in two years it will be." That is a fairly simple thing to say and then the discussion could have moved on to whether anyone will have any idea what the best conference will look like in two years with the potential changes in basketball conferences that are likely coming down the road. Tell me two years ago would you have been able to predict that the Big East would be what it is going to be next year?

I think the problem with many people in groups like this is that they don't care about having an intelligent conversation or even making their point, they just want to insult and bluster. You would like to blame my reading comprehension, but in reality you are not all that interested in being clear just in being rude, insulting and arguing for the sake of it.

So if you agree that the ACC hasn't been the best conference, great I agree with you. Will it be the best in 2 years? It may be, but as I said earlier, with all that is going on with conference shifting, that isn't guaranteed. In two years the ACC may be as ripped apart as the Big East has been.[/quote]

you are amazing.

no one knows what will or won't happen in conference realignment so stop trying to predict the future. what is known is that as of today in 2014-2015 UCONN will be in the amc and the acc will be the strongest bball league.

you making things up and twisting my words is quite troublesome. the fact you are stuck on me saying the acc is the best conference, by the time Purvis is at UConn is a correct statement as things are setup as if today.


my uva buddy finds you comical reading your posts towards me seeing over the past 15 years we have had countless arguments about me saying big east best bball conference ever and him being a staunch acc supporter. his exact quote was " if this guy even knew"

my posts aren't that difficult to follow. you just are making it that way to fit with how you want my words to work based on what you felt I was saying even though even after clarification you still are stuck on it

in the post 88 or whatever I even added the 4 teams going to the acc as a way to clarify my previous statement that you are stuck on yet you were still unable to follow

thanks for making today's train ride enjoyable

If your "methodology" is to be long winded and hard to follow, you are batting 1.000.

If Jeff Borzello says it, you can book it!

BTW, who's Jeff Borzello?

 

[willie99]

So adding Pitt, Cuse, Lville, ND wont make them the #1 bball conference...

RPI is such a bad barometer. I really wish they would stop referencing that

OK

the RPI is a horrible barometer, it's mostly about who plays the strongest cupcakes. If you play a team ranked 150 as opposed to a team ranked 250, you're a better team! seriously? I'm not even sure what relevance that really has. If you play a few decent programs (100 - 150) on neutral courts instead of bringing them to your house, you're a top 10 team.

The RPI was supposed to be a tool, but brain dead bureaucrats that often times don't know the difference between a quality opponent and a chump use it as a crutch, which is why everyone else cites it. It's how bureaucrats pick the field.

I don't think a basketball person would ever cite the RPI when game planning and analyzing.

 

[mauconnfan]

Simple the ACC is obviously better than the conference the Huskies will be going to. They were never as good as the Big East though, maybe a year or 2 but hardly ever. Duke was their best yet again this year and they were completely embarrassed by Louisville!! No more proof required!

 

[d1reality]

Why Cin? Because they are next to jump to the ACC?

Roger that

BTW, who's Jeff Borzello?

He's a CBS guy. Kind of a goon, no real insight, really just regurgitates whatever he sees on the court.

Cincy plays NCSt in the upcoming season, clown.

I like Borzello and he admits he grew up a UConn hoops fan

The UConn thing aside, what do you like about him?

 

[Bryan Lord]

I wouldn't mind if UConn basketball turned into a gang. A gang of all Americans and national champions. I hope they gang bang next years final four and the year after.

Gang sign: 1 finger in the air.

 

[huskiesnyc]

The UConn thing aside, what do you like about him?

He's a legit writer for cbssport.com. I didn't say I love the guy but he seems to be a lot more professional and unbiased than most. 1000% times better than a clown like Gary Parrish

What?! You didn't like Scotty Hazelton?!?!

 

[UCweCONN]

What?! You didn't like Scotty Hazelton?!?!

Was he the last one? I remember Donyell Marshall and RIP Hamilton but they were ages ago. Who am I missing? I actually thought Hazelton never got a fair shake. Some guys just didn't seem to cut it in JC's mind. Hazelton actually had game.

Rudy Gay, Alex Oriakhi, Kemba Walker, maybe AJ Price?

 

[3rdbass]

Kemba

Rudy Gay, Alex Oriakhi, Kemba Walker, maybe AJ Price?

Kemba Walker was definitely one as he had a sick dunk over another player on a fast break in that game. So was Alex O. in 2009. Funny to see AO as one as he never seemed to have that talent.

It was Jrue Holliday he banged on.

Yeah, I remembered it was against a now NBA Guard but just forgot who it was.

I think all told we've had Rudy, AO, Kemba, Rip, Hazelton, Charlie V, Khalid, Taliek, and Donyell...
