Rumor..Mustapha Heron considering transferring

[upstater]

There are lots of other places to live. Outside of someone from Westport, typically 2nd generation, I don't hear anyone complaining about home values in Westport. People leave the high cost of living in New Canaan and move to Westport

Huh. Well, I know someone that moved out of a 1200 foot ranch. Sold for $950k.

I just think that's ridiculous.

 

[intlzncster]

You could make the same argument about Connecticut and Hartford and it would not be that difficult.

But downside to CT is they don't have drunk, drugged, or plain crazy rednecks getting arrested and yelling..."Roll Tide!!". Those are some of the best internet videos going.

Auburn sucks. It's a school where all the farmers send their kids to down there.

I always enjoy when people make statements about things they know nothing about.

 

[djct1999]

In my area around Buffalo, people are leaving in droves. And yet the housing values are rising. This tells me the people coming in are buying more house than the people moving out. Maybe people leave Connecticut because the of the million dollar ranch houses in Westport.

Where can you get a ranch in Westport for a million? Try a million five bruh.

Cool story, bruh.

I can find you a ranch in Westport for under 750K in your interested.

The only part of 'Bama I visit is the gulf coast and there's plenty of good along there.

 

[JSM1970]

Maybe 2nd to drunk NASCAR fans screaming Chevy Sucks vs. Ford Sucks, the necks screaming RTR (roll tide roll) vs. WDE (war dam eagle) is good stuff

But downside to CT is they don't have drunk, drugged, or plain crazy rednecks getting arrested and yelling..."Roll Tide!!". Those are some of the best internet videos going.

 

[Jaker]

the gulf coast of Bama is pretty nice

No thanks. The commute to the city from there is brutal. Give me Darien or Greenwich.

 

[TopDogs]

...are we seriously discussing real estate prices in a recruiting thread? We really run the gamut around here.

 

[krinklecut]

Dude, have you ever been to Auburn or even Alabama for that matter? AL is the only place I've lived outside of CT, and what you just described is demonstrably false.

I don't know man, I live in Auburn right now. It's a crap town.

 

[GemParty]

Real estate & recruiting. Love it.

Most CT residents would feel right at home in the Huntsville, Alabama area in the north- Good economic base, rolling hills, fresh rivers, reservoirs and trails.

Most CT residents would love a week's vacation on the Gulf Coast.

Everything else in between? It's like an alien planet.

The Birmingham suburbs are nice, Mountian Brooke is just as nice as basically any town in CT. Homewood and Vestavia also very nice. Lake Martin area is a lot of fun. Tuscolusa is a great college town. Auburn isn't a bad town either.

I have spent a lot time in Alabama, my wife is from there and an Alabama grad, it's a very nice state, has its drawbacks for sure, but has a lot of positives as well.

Has anyone else noticed the tags on this thread?

To get back on track let's assume the kid is interested in coming back home and playing at UConn, and let's assume there is no dirt in his background, do we want him? We'd be holding up a scholarship for a year. Are his skill sets worth doing that? Are there players in the 2018 class that we have a chance on that would make taking him at the expense of a scholarship we need desperately to fill holes next year foolish?

If people can get away from Alabama for a sec I'd be interested in their opinions.

He's a stud and future 1st round draft pick. If you have a chance to get him, you jump on it especially after losing out on El Diablo to Satan himself.

You couldn't pay me a million dollars to live in Alabama. CT is literally one of the best places in the country to live and Alabama is one of the worst.

Yet people are leaving the state at a faster rate than almost anywhere else in the country. I moved a while ago and would never live in CT again.

 

[mauconnfan]

I'm wondering at this point after reading this thread whether Heron is actually thinking of transferring or moving to Alabama because he hates CT?

 

[husky99]

I am asking around and hearing some nba talk more then transfering talk

Not if he's coming for a year then going to the NBA

Primarily attributable to an aging population in the Northeast relative to other areas looking for warmer weather and a reduced cost of living.
