SG Hamidou Diallo (UConn Offer)

[businesslawyer]

Well put.

I don't mind the anger at all, although I certainly did underestimate it. I just wish this message board was less tribal and more inclusive. I had been lurking for years before signing up, and over the years I began sensing patterns among the (largely self-appointed) "leadership" around here. Granted, it's a bad look, and of course I understand that. People are very uncomfortable facing themselves, particularly when it's a stranger trying to force themselves to. I mostly post about Xs and Os, but insults roll off me, so I'm going to keep "psychoanalyzing" the people I perceive to exhibit problematic or antisocial behaviors until I'm banned, whether or not those people are ready to take me seriously or continue to choose not to.

Go UConn. Go get Diallo.

You are single handedly making me believe that psychology is a bad thing. Please go away.

So we have gilbert, diarra, and larrier for next year. We are going after diallo, Bailey, and who else?

Extremely rich coming from a lawyer. I've never met a (non-patent) lawyer who did anything of value for our society. I hope you are a patent attorney, but I fear you are a corporate leech.

Hmmn, you seem very passionate about that topic. Why do you believe that?

These seem to be the main two targets left, although it is still REALLY early. I know Wenyen Gabriel was at least a moderate target for a while, but not sure if we've backed off since the Diarra commitment. Bailey may take a Mormon mission as well which would push him out to the 2018 class. Let's lock up Diallo...anything beyond that is gravy for the '16 class (provided he does reclassify).

Maryland, St. John's, and Shaka need to make their own path and get off our jock!

Amidst all the mental health discussions, this comment seems to have flown under the radar.

It's disturbing how fired up this gets me.

I was stoked and it was just cryptic for me. Could someone get me more stoked and fill in the gaps?

@Zionn

He made the statement '@uconnmenbb knows all'! My guess is that they have Diallo on twitter and only do this when things are close. Is this correct?

Well thanks for this astute and well-thought out opinion.

In the real world where the majority truly live, lawyers are an integral, indispensable and valuable asset to our free society, which could not function without a top-level judicial system. Most lawyers, without fanfare or public thanks, provide pro bono work for those in legal need.

A couple of examples of lawyers, out of the thousands available, who have provided and/or continue to provide value to our society might start with former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who led the legal fight against institutional segregation in US schools, Brown v. Board of Education , or the vastly underpaid and overworked lawyers of the ACLU, public defender's offices and state prosecutor's offices nationwide.

Perhaps in the Star Trek parallel universe in which you live lawyers do nothing of value to that society. Not in the USA in which the rest of us reside.

Glad we've established who we will b_tch at if he ends up somewhere else.

He won't though.

Lots can still happen, but let's let it ride and focus on a big.

You watch too much TV.

And/or are just a total moron who doesn't think before he types. Only patent attorneys contribute positively to society

 

[UConn990411]

Sounds like the hold up is seeing if he can reclassify to 2016?

In any event, things seem to look good at the moment.

What bigs are we looking at? Haven't seen any names in a while.

College basketball sucks. Not enough future patent attorneys.

I find this lawyer has added great delight and enjoyment to my life:

Have you gained any insight into this Diallo recruitment on other team message boards? If so report back.

Pinned thread top of forum lists 2016 recruiting information. Great job by @tcf15 that gives detailed information about recruits.

Idk how I feel about this Maryland offer, not up for being Under Armour'd again.

So then you don't see value in arbiters and negotiators who provide a reasonable basis for trading in illiquid capital markets. You sure?
