What did it say?

 

[huskiesnyc]

You must be new here. Oz is extremely plugged in to the staff's thinking. He's close friends with a couple of the coaches. So if he says it thats what they've been told

I don't want to claim to be one of the source guys but I heard good news is on the way soon

From what I've seen on this board that seems to be a great analysis. Oz knows people in the program, but that doesn't mean his (or their) information is accurate. He and the UConn staff have been burned a lot lately. Decent information when taken with a few thousand grains of salt.

KO took off the kiddie gloves and finally got in the mud

 

[HawkHusky]

What did his deleted tweet say? I missed it.

 

[huskiesnyc]

Oz is never wrong*





*Sarcastic

The staff is on a bad run and Oz is just along for the ride. Hopefully September is a very good month for Husky nation on the recruiting front, and there's a good chance of it

Same.

 

[AntG168]

What did his deleted tweet say? I missed it.

That the staff was told Sid will commit to UConn

 

[AntG168]

Same.

With just Sid? Or more good news

 

[KembaStepback]

Don't want to say I told you so...but pretty sure I called this...

I'm not an insider...but this seemed too obvious.

I don't feel sorry for him in the least. He made his bed.

He's a kid who regrets his decision. "He made his bed," is more for a kid who got caught with drugs and was thrown out.

 

[AntG168]

Getting a top 50 commit with Jalen Carey on campus can only be good right? Lol

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Even if he doesn't come here, it kinda sucks that he'd have to sit out the year.

 

[RipCity]

6 months from now we'll be making a thread like this for Mathis. Hopefully he doesn't decide to enroll before then.

I'll take your word over his. He hasn't only been wrong on recruits but also transfers/departures for at least the past 2 off seasons

 

[djct1999]

No its not. He went to St. John's because his "handlers" told him to. There is a reason for that and its far less innocent than you are suggesting.

 

[BaZZnBOAT]

I don't feel sorry for him in the least. He made his bed.

I mean this is a bit harsh. He made a decision that was ultimately larger than basketball, and it didn't work out. He's 18 years old.

 

[UConnStats]

Could be why Nolley's visit went from 9/29 to "TBD", even though he considers himself a 2.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

No its not. He went to St. John's because his "handlers" told him to. There is a reason for that and its far less innocent than you are suggesting.

Family, not handlers, sometimes you don't really have a say when you're family wants something. Kid built up the courage to go against them now, good for him, wherever he ends up.

 

[husky429]

Would be a terrific replacement for larrier. Quite similar players. He could use a year off to bulk up and learn tp shoot. Might end up being the idesl scenario for him

 

[CallMeBruce]

He's a kid who regrets his decision. "He made his bed," is more for a kid who got caught with drugs and was thrown out.

A decision he was heavily pressured to make by his family. Let's try to be a little human here, huh?

 

[Kmba2Rmemba]

Even if he doesn't come here, it kinda sucks that he'd have to sit out the year.

Hard to quantify or judge the benefit he would bring to practices, but there is value to be had in him partaking in practices. Can only make the guys better than they would be if they practiced against a walk-on instead.

With that being said, I'm a bigger fan of some of the 2018 wings so I hope this doesn't steer us away from some of those guys. I won't complain, though

 

[temery]

No its not. He went to St. John's because his "handlers" told him to. There is a reason for that and its far less innocent than you are suggesting.

Again, he's a kid, and he believed people he should have been able to trust. If you are implying he accepted cash or other benefits, that would be a different story.

What?

Not really our style.
