I liked Vital as he definitely was a leader by his Sr. year and a steady offensive threat to go along with Bouk but Adams was the opposite. He never lived up to his hype and was soft and worried about getting fouls. Adams wouldn't be the answer.
Hurley is in charge. Dan Hurley. I know it’s hard to tell cuz he’s comatose, but that’s the guy.
I was a big fan of his. He was stuck with limited talent around him, but he gave UConn his heart and Blood sweat and tears
Jalen always be remembered the clutch 80 footer he made against Cincinatti at that epic 4 overtime thriller. A great shot that reminded me of the Scotty Burrell to Tate George play against Clemson back in 1990.
Yeah, hope he's investing it wisely.
Not only are they the worst team in the league but also the dumbest
I didn’t want to believe this and I don’t want to pile on. But it’s sure starting to look like that.
He made a couple of other clutch plays during that game too. He always seemed to have “it”. He just never had the talent around him to do much. Wish he reclassified to come in and have Boatright mentor him instead of Gibbs.
Vital became who you (and I) fondly remember with Hurley coaching him. Any other claim is preposterous.
Trend?
It’s hard for me to believe that when we haven’t seen him do it again. It makes me ask if it was just a carry over of KO’s coaching or was it Hurley’s new energy or what. Because he hasn’t been able to replicate it since.
Now you have shamelessly moved the goal posts. Disingenuous is worse than overblown. And I say that as someone generally (and sometimes admiringly) amused by your creative persistence in attempts to keep the balloon aloft.
You know for certain that I haven't said that, and I judge his arguments superior to yours, however frustrating you may find that.
Some of us have been saying that for a while. You can get as many guys as you want. You still need to figure out what to do with them. And you know what? His great recruiting is highly over rated. In five years he hasn’t landed a big time point guard. At some point you need to accent that either he can’t do it or he doesn’t know how to evaluate them. And please don’t say Cole. He was an undersized midmajor combo whe sort of played point for us. This year our big upgrade was to steal the pg from East Carolina. The boneyard went all Gaga over a transfer from a program we consider it embarrassing to be associated with.
Change in the head coach, maybe?
Who else that is available and better would be his replacement? For what it’s worth Mike Anderson is probably on the hot seat at SJU.
You have to play 5 guys. Lol.
Keep in mind that you're replying to somebody who at times flashes ideas that contain arguable value, but then regularly demonstrates a weird commitment, preference, or compulsion to express such things in ways that come off as stupid and/or foul, while projecting a non-fitting self-certainty. He's one of the Board's more inscrutable posters. Ironically, he might benefit from some coaching.
