Tarris Reed commits!

I don't think he gives a rats arse about what anyone thinks. He's shows up, plays when the coach sends him in, cashes checks. LeBron couldn't get rid of him fast enough.

He has grown a lot as a player. I have the best advantage of watching him grow up from a 6th-grade 6 foot plus dribbling the ball in the neighborhood.
I think he got sloppy a couple of years ago, but he pointed that out himself. He is a good representative for UConn

I can't wait to see Tarris play this fall for UConn.

If Drummond played four years at UConn, he would have been one of the all time best. Period. Even you know that.

That is quite possible. But if my Aunt had balls she’s be my Uncle. Why would anyone care about something that didn’t happen?

The point is not that he wasn’t Anthony Davis. The point was we returned four starters from a national championship team, plus Shabazz and Giffey, and brought in Boatright and Daniels and Drummond, and we literally didn’t beat a good team all year and limped to an 8 seed by consistently beating cupcakes.

Simply this was Calhouns weakest job managing one of his most talented teams. Too clogged in the middle for our guards with Alex and Dre. Never got the flow. Drummond was everything we needed. JC just couldn’t get this team to gel.

Yeah it's less on drummond, who was pretty good for a freshman, and more on the insane expectations that were flying around andre and that team.

I think the team could and should have been better, but much of the negative perception IMO comes from the unfair expectations.
