Sat. Jan 7 -- The Decision

Not for nothing, but his coach and some others have been feeding media people like Zags and others Kentucky for months, while Oz has been holding the UConn line. Seems to me that if this news is correct, and Meyer was definitive here when he wrote "WILL NOT PLAY," that Oz may not have had the inside line on this one.

So are you saying that Glen Miller, who has practically lived at PSA the last two years, did not have the top relationship with his coach?
 
I have been criticized about not getting on the Oz bandwagon - I wish I could - but it's not what the dudes are saying and I need to go by that. Even Oz now is saying we have done all that we can not that he is definitely UConn bound. Let's hope something changes in the next 72 hours - somebody beat that UK future sneaker deal or something? I always try to have some optimism.
 
I really haven't followed this whole story closely enough...but wouldn't he want to showcase himself in the NCAA tourney? Why come here?

No I am not saying that.
 
This looks like a s&*tshow to me. I was keeping up with this recruitment but I think I'm done wasting time following this. If he comes here, great. If he doesn't, great. The tea leaves aren't showing me a dog.

I think immediately following the announcement we should have a battle royale melee in the Octagon, last man standing kind of thing.
 
Are people seriously going to rearrange their day to hear a teenager mouth one word?

Even if I was his age (or much younger) the only word coming from a teenager I would arrange my day for was the word "yes" and only from a female.

Him packing his bags and not announcing from PSA the school where he blew up that happens to be based in Connecticut the school recruiting him the hardest and going back home to announce... Don't like the look of that HAMI. Why is UCONN husky logo at bottom right corner in the announcement. DOOMED

I agree...and...PSA is about 25 miles from Gampel Pavilion. why pack your bags to go to NYC and then go back to Storrs?...that is not logical just from an operational standpoint, but it is not like Queens is a world away as well....there should be a moratorium on all comments about this until "the announcement".......starting now

He's not currently attending a school. He lives in NYC. He left PSA before Christmas and never went back.

Maybe he wants to be with family and friends in NYC and party?
 
Hes going to Kentucky. Im 100% convinced. The writing is on the wall if you have followed this recruitment the last couple weeks. You cant say this wont sting because KO and the staff put a world of time and effort into this kid for a long time.

Of course it will sting if he goes elsewhere. I hope the staff handles it better than some of the fans have shown while waiting for his decision and I'm sure will demonstrate if he goes elsewhere.

There is not one fan that wants players or coaches to play without effort, without poise, without control. Sadly a good number of posters who show the least control are the most likely to go off on players and coaches. They justify this lack of control but that would be like players making excuses for bad play, something these same posters would also attack.

Recruitment, games, seasons have probable outcomes. That's what makes all this exciting and at times miserable. When it comes to being champions, far too many of us in this forum act like losers. I understand many of the reasons we behave less than admirably, but if anyone wants to understand why cultures struggle, they could write a thesis based on the behavior of people on the internet
 
UConn is listed in the 6th position on his tweet.
UConn is the 6th borough of NYC
Storrs has 6 letters in it.

There's a chance.

1) If he were to play this semester, he'd barely crack UK's rotation. He wouldn't get enough PT to impress scouts enough to land high in the 1st round. At least playing for UConn would give him the opportunity to "showcase" his skills, and perhaps even lead UConn into the Tournament.

2) That all seems moot now, because the word is that he doesn't want to play this semester. So any advantage we had as far as giving him immediate PT is gone. And, so it seems, is all of the advantage we had by recruiting him earlier and harder than anyone. It's really hard to beat Calipari these days.

I don't feel good about this. I also would feel worse if the kid was a shooter rather than a super-athletic slasher. We need outside shooting more than anything. But it's gonna sting if and when he picks UK.
 
Seems as though he might pull a Kensucky...but in Ollie I trust...let's see what happens. Would love for the him to come here but can't really do much except drink and pray...hahaha

Based on the Fact that we have had a D Ham, and a Mamadou D it only makes sense to me that we are the front runner for someone named Ham D.
 
just in time to suit up for Sunday's game

he already graduated, right? he's eligible now?

instead of one and done, we can sell him 1.5 and done
