We were still new to the Big East. Clemson has been owned by the ACC forever. Think about how long ago the "Tate shot" was. That is the last time Clemson was relevant in basketball.

Nonsense. They've made a Sweet Sixteen as recently as 1997, when Mack was nearly born!

If we go with the Sweet 16 as relevant, then the last time Clemson was relevant many of us were concerned Calhoun would never get UConn to a Final Four.

I can't decide who I want more Mack or the interviewer. They're both from SC (SEC and ACC territory). In both their minds UConn is a blue blood. Mack is the talent I want. But the interviewer recruited Mack for us over the universities in his state.

Let me make the decision easy. I want both to come to UConn. Let it be a package deal. T. Mack to play the 3 and the interviewer to be that uber recruiter some of the posters in this forum believe we need.

The interviewer (we need a name hehe winky wink) could be an indispensable part of the UConn recruiting machine. He has similar DNA of the best reporters in the world. Mr. UConn Mack has the journalist instincts that few seem to possess. His knowledge base is unsurpassed with regards to BLUE & WHITE (National Champs and NBA pedigree).

During this fall foliage season is there a more beautiful campus in the United States of America? It is paradise personified with only National Championship air to breath.

He oozed more respect for the program than some UConn fans who are still debating amongst themselves whether UConn is a BLUE BLOOD!! I would love to get a name.

And if he couldn't recruit for UConn maybe one of the Ct state rags should hire him and replace the reporters who are tepid about UConn.

We have discussed DIAMONDS on this board ad nauseam. Truth of the matter is Mr. UConn Mack is the true Hope Diamond!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Aspiring to follow the path of the greatest 3pt shooter of all time requires courage and guts. IF Mack has it he will be a perfect fit and will leave UConn after 3 years with a ring and millions. It isn't that complicated.

I don't see a Jim Calhoun patrolling their sideline. Remember, JC was not an unknown commodity when he came to UCONN. He was one of the hottest young coaches available, enough so that Bob Knight advised him to wait for the right opportunity (also advised to give UCONN a long look iirc).

I am now laughing at another post on the VCU board:

"Even UCONN grad students don't live in Storrs, they all live in Hartford and commute."

These handfull of VCU posters have no idea how dumb they look. Just one post after another written as if it is the gospel yet shows no knowledge whatsoever about UCONN.

Storrs was voted the most aesthetically pleasing (beautiful) campus in the United States by the most distinguished college campus critic in America BDH Enterprises.. BDH Enterprises has a worldwide reputation on these issues. Congrats to Storrs and the University of Connecticut. Hopefully all recruits get the memo.

Huh. And for my money, I'd rather live in Storrs than in Hartford.

The best was "So Ollie says 'come live in Storrs...even though I won't'".

Now to be fair a good amount of UConn grad students don't live in Storrs, of course that is largely due to the fact some of the grad departments are not in Storrs.

Yeah, I'm assuming that that person saw somewhere online that we have a lot of MBA students in Hartford... well, that would be because our MBA school is in Hartford.

Another poster said with certainty that our offer to Mack is a conditional one....meaning he can only accept it if our other targets decline first.

Those guys are often wrong, but never in doubt.

FIFTY (no "e") SEVEN.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Huh, I just thought it was seven very fife-y times. I wasn't quite sure what that would mean, but I was intrigued.

Maybe there were Civil War reenactments before the games?

Or maybe those games were evocative of the Scots? You know, the thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now?

If we look at both VCU & UConn rosters combined I like the squad.

R. Boatright
R. Purvis
T. Graham
?????????
A. Brimah

Sixth man B. Weber.
 
The last gem they posted was that we recruited over Mandeldove and if he had gone to them he would have improved his basketball game. Mandeldove loved Uconn so much he spent 6 years here and had a great time all 6 years. Did he ever graduate?

Mack has VCU in his final five, the other three schools have zero fanbases for basketball, VCU fans have been tweeting at and about Mack consistently and that includes taking a lot of small swipes at UConn and Ollie (mostly inaccurate). Once Mack chooses a school most will go back to not giving a crap about VCU because they are inconsequential to 99% of UConns season.
