Rothstein update on Jackson and Bouknight

[Ratso]

i say throw AJ into the fire right away. that’s what coach squid has been doing for years

 

[Huskybass]

Yeah, I'm sure he'll take credit for convincing them to change their minds.

Partial credit, he is reasonable after all.

Notice how quiet Bobby Fischer is since this thread started?

This is amazing. Jon Rothstein scooped it- our own beat guys can't. Unreal. It really may be true- the Boneyard is the beats sources!

Our "beat writers" are underwhelming to say the least. Unless, I'm misremembering, UConn plucked the best one from the Journal Enquirer. Phil Chardis perhaps.

If I am Misremembering, please disregard all this gibberish.

“well shorty was a cop...”

Does anyone think there’s any chance that Hurley is messing with Willard to stick it to him for the ugly remarks that he made about UConn coming to the big East? How amazing would that be to see Bouk trot out there tomorrow. Those IG posts about practicing in a blue jersey, then the post from Bouk showing his sneakers on gampels floor. Just all seems to point to him playing tomorrow.

From what I remember we determined that Willard was kidding around after all and he pretty much said that in an article in one of the New Jersey papers. But Hurley isn't convinced he was kidding.

Seton Hall and UConn played 63 times in the old conference, UConn winning 45. But this renewal could get spicy, like a twice-a-year slug of hot sauce. Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard has at times sounded less than enthusiastic about the addition of UConn, and Hurley has used his New Jersey ties to nab several recruits, including Sanogo, from the Pirates’ turf.

“I’m a competitor,” Hurley said, “I want the best people in my league. I would be thrilled to have a program, a big name, big brand, big potential to come into my league and raise the level of competition, because I think that’s what most great competitors would want. ... I’ve got a lot of respect for the success Kevin has had, but we would look at that differently.”

Andre Jackson set to return as UConn men restart season, and a spicy Big East rivalry with Seton Hall

In a season of starts and stops, the UConn men restart Saturday, entering a stretch drive that will, at last, include freshman Andre Jackson. “He’s a real talent, and we’ve got to…

Maybe.

Hurley continues to be unclear with CT reporters though. On purpose?

"Thankfully Boutnight decided to listen to Chief and not his advisors. Chief will always have James's back as a dam break recruit."

Chief absolutely does not know that James's is the proper way to use the possessive there.

just play baby

 

[QuickDraw]

Some much needed great news, now let's watch Chief spin this.

Dude, I so called this! I just forgot to tell anybody.

 

[gtcam]

Bouk will play when he plays. I just want a regular pattern of games. It’s the only way this team is going to gel. Time is getting short. ALL these kids need game time

Don’t be shocked if you see Bouk for a few minutes of action tomorrow.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Best news in a while.

Is he suiting up?

 

[UCTitleTown]

Anyone else feel like it's been months since our last game?

Yes! These starts and stops are killing me. But I keep telling myself this is better than no season at all. WTH would we post about on here for a year and a half with no season? Oh yeah, pizza, beer, stocks.....

?Some much needed great news, now let's watch Chief spin this.

Some much-needed great news, so let’s talk about Chief ... ?

 

[Marat]

Is he suiting up?

According to Borges and a couple others they say not tomorrow.

 

[Get a Job]

Are coaches allowed to say publicly and unequivocally that a player is out, and then play that player? Because Hurley said Bouk is out tomorrow.

I'll be ecstatic just seeing him in the layup line.

I’m pretty sure all that matters is if the game officials receive the activated player roster like however long before tip it’s needed.

That being said I will believe what Hurleyman216 is saying because of his insight in the When will we see Bouk thread.

 

[Hi-Low]

Glad to have Jackson back, Bouk remains on deep cover classified timetable.

Just want to see UConn Men BB jerseys on TV 2 -3 times per week well into March and then lights out until November.

? for a covid & drama free season in 2021-2022.
