I stopped reading after “…transfers Dwayne Koroma and Jacob Ross…” I think it’s an AI-generated “article” and I strongly disapprove.

Not to mention “Terris” (forgivable on the BY in my opinion but not from an alleged writer).

Maybe not AI written, but Wild was probably not wanting to verbatim repeat so much.

But Terris... yeesh.

Misspelling Tarris on here is not forgivable.

These SI articles are trash. I can't believe SI actually lets these amateur writers post their articles under their domain.

This is the article from Myron Medcalf that the article is referencing.

100 days to men's college basketball: Top stories, players, games

From ESPN. Something to read in these dog days of summer with almost no college basketball news. UConn mentioned a bunch of times. Quick scan of the article and you'll find them easily. UConn-St. John's rivalry, 10 title contenders, 10 non-conference matchups to watch (2 of them), 10 freshmen...

SI basically sold their name to an AI industry. The default reaction to anything with "SI" should be it is AI generated.

It really is remarkable how far SI has fallen. This "analyst" - he does appear to be a real person, who is on Twitter at https://x.com/ByTommyWild where he has only 250 followers, mostly covers the Cleveland Guardians. Somehow in his spare time he's "authored" 20+ articles on SI about UConn basketball. Something isn't adding up.
