Not directing this at any one person - just a general statement.

When you're stupid, try not to advertise just how stupid you are.

And when you're stupid and have yet managed to reproduce, double-down on keeping that stupid under wraps lest it limit the options available to your offspring any more than it has to.

I'm sure that tweet will cross the mind of any coach willing to consider Alex. Nice work, dad.

Unrelated note -

When the horde of former players arrive for Calhoun's next charity game, some of them mega-millionaires and all of them thrilled to come back for their coach, perhaps Mr. Oriakhi should wonder why they made it through the 'plantation' and his son didn't.

Then, look in a mirror 'til the light bulb goes off.

Spot on Fishy.......this is just a big WOW.......not even worth discussing........a kid let's his dad run his feelings for a program? Not tough enough to be in the National Flag Blue I guess.......

Totally agree with you on that. Obviously I don't know how Alex truly feels. I can speculate that his dad may not be doing this if he wasn't sure how his son felt about JC and UConn. I just think it is unfortunate. I think Alex is a good kid (having never met him let alone spent significant time with him I admit that my opinion is based completely off of articles and interviews) and until he makes a comment himself disproving that I see no reason to change it.

Alex may be really pissed about what happened this past year, but he may be staying quiet because he doesn't think its right to publicly state certain things. Not saying it is one way or the other, I just don't think its fair to judge Alex based off of his father's comments.

Key here is if he is pissed about things that happened this year the mirror is right in front of him. Noone else to blame when your actions on the court go completely backwards!!! Remember, this guy struggled mightily during typically most of the bE regular season during the NC run also hence the reason they were 9-9........Maui and the tourney for whatever reason are the only real bright spots on his resume....having said that I thank him for that and wish him luck wherever he lands!
 
Mr. AO needs to piss off and get a life, and AO needs to grow a sack. Have fun at some $hitbird school. Thanks for aiding us in a title, then being pouting for a year, then bouncing. A real UConn guy wouldn't do this no matter how tough it got. Good luck AO.

true, but the source of your quote may prove the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree

he could of had a great legacy, been part of the family for all of his life

He's gone, that's gone, and he's leaving the man who gets lazy men and marginal talent like him to the NBA. Thus he's shooting himself in the foot. He's throwing away contacts, he's throwing away loyalty and he's burning bridges that will never be there for him again, and very unlikely to be built elsewhere.

I hope he doesn't quit on whatever overseas team he plays for, but his history suggests he will.

"all in", LOL

Grab the damn ball, hold onto it, and put it in the hoop from 4 feet and do not look like you just got smacked in the face with a rhino dick when a foul is called on you.

Happy motoring to the Oriakhi's

this is hilarious hahahahaha +1
 
For what it is worth, DeMauro at the Courant says in today's chat that Oriaki's dad recanted this comment, somewhat, by stating that he was referring to "other coaches" and not Calhoun. Sounds like damage control to me. Dom says that he'll write or blog about the email exchange.

Do what I do - have a ship's bell installed near your computer.

I ring it to let the rest of the house know that I've just unleashed another gem on the internet.

That is a great idea. For some reason I just don't get the respect and adoration I deserve at home. Just the other day I was walking around the house with a smile on my face laughing at a joke I came up with when my fiance asked me what was up. I told her not to worry her pretty little head and keep on washing the dishes since I can laugh for the both of us. She seemed annoyed at this somehow. I'll just never understand women.
 
I'm not sure that it generates respect or adoration - I just like them to know that while they're doing whatever they do, I am out winning on the internet.

Whether they appreciate the greatness that walks in their midst, they're not saying. It's probably a quiet admiration.

Ah, women...complex little bundles of joy.

I wonder if Alex Oriakhi and Mandeldove were switched at birth

This shouldn't be a surprise. AO and Jamal Coombs-McDaniel have both run from competition in the past when they were challenged. Remember they both started at The Winchendon School when they first began HS, but didn't start because it is a loaded program with great talent. When faced with having to earn a spot the next year, they both decided to run from the challenge and go to The Tilton School, which at that time was a weak school with no real competition for playing time. I am sure the Tilton School coach promised them the starting position and all the playing time. So this isn't the first time that they both have run from a coach who demands their players to earn their spot and run from true competition. They would much rather have a coach who will baby them, promise them court time, and not push them. In the end, they are the one's who will lose out.

Who paid their tuition while at UConn?

So much hate and so many haters.

Time to stop this nonsence. This board is read by prospects and their parents.

Is this what we want them see?

Peace,
