Message: [QUOTE="nomar, post: 4941163, member: 651"] It’s the opening anecdote from the recent Athletic article: [I]When [URL='https://theathletic.com/college-basketball/player/cam-spencer-7aGjDympTtpik78L/']Cam Spencer[/URL] visited Connecticut last spring, he got the usual treatment. Photoshoot. Pitches on branding and NIL. The fluff, [URL='https://theathletic.com/5379933/2024/03/30/uconn-illinois-elite-eight-results/']UConn[/URL] coach Dan Hurley calls it. Spencer goes out of his way to avoid what others seek. He’s not on social media. His interests are minimal. And Hurley could see Spencer and his family losing interest. Then they started talking hoops. Style of play. How Spencer fit in UConn’s system. “The group perked up,” Hurley says.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/5370372/2024/03/27/cam-spencer-uconn-sweet-16-march-madness/?redirected=1&source=googlesearch&access_token=1545698[/URL] There’s also this: [I]On Patrick’s 21st birthday — he was born on the Fourth of July — the family visited their grandparents’ condo in Ocean City, Maryland. They decided to play tennis with their grandparents. Cam was with Grandpa and Patrick with Grandma. Cam and his grandpa strategically kept placing the ball toward Grandma’s backhand because it was a “little weak.” Patrick was agitated, and then he finally got a ball hit his direction. He put it in the net, and then slammed his racket against his head and gashed his forehead. The game ended because he needed to go to the hospital to get stitches. “But we won, my grandpa and I,” Cam says. “He forfeited. We won.” :)[/I] [/QUOTE]
