semi-OT - Oriakhi and Caron Butler on the same team now...

Anybody who takes a nanosecond out of their date to hope a young man fails because he didn't say nice things about the basketball program they root for is seriously messed up. Think about it - you're hoping a young man fails at what he is trying to do with his life. How does that benefit you in any way? You don't have to like or respect him but actively hoping he fails is just seriously messed up. Grow up a little. It's basketball - not your 401k he's messing with.

I don't hope for failure on anyone and may have exaggerated that point but I certainly could care less about AO and his NBA future. He's not a Husky, means zero to this family!

And as a reminder this board isn't anyone's 401K either.........so everything said is cyber BS mostly right?

Boy, I would love to ask them in a dual interview about Calhoun...

It is going to be a very short relationship. If you want to see Alex actually play you will be in for a very long plane ride.

I just can't see AO making an NBA roster, especially with guys like Jeff Adrien doing everything they can to stick in the league.

Read the boards. All the negativity surrounding him is directly related to his choice to leave the program

Reread "the boards" and realize that you are wrong.

A very, very apt comparison.

Its not so much that he left. Its the wayhe choose to exit.
He put down his coach and teamates and that is a defacto put down of the entire UConn family.
This BS of "He helped us win a NC"
only serves to amplify the extent of his betrayal. He gained fame as a result of that success.
You prabably have heard of Benidict Arnold.
He was probably one of the biggest hero's of the Revolution until his betrayal. That fact that your were an intergral part of a great success actually magnifies the betrayal of that cause

The very fact that you can seriously make that comparison shows you need mental help. Please let me know if you need a referral somewhere.
