Whether Tevin Mack comes to UConn or not, he has now sealed his place in Boneyard lore. In just over one month the Tevin Mack thread has amassed 7,500 more views than the infamous (and nearly two year old and still running) "best pizza in ct." thread.

Mack - 52,000
Pizza - 44,500

Why do you all care so much about VCU? Why put them on our level?

Jeremy Lamb's dad played @ VCU. Rolando was 1 of the best ever to play at VCU. His son chose UConn and got a ring and was a Lottery pick in the NBA draft. Do you think VCU would have liked to have Jeremy Lamb in retrospect? That had to be Heart Break City to watch for Ram fans when JL signed with UConn.

Oh I get it. We have been holding this animosity since the 80s.

I think a Mack Pizza thread would be killer.
 
Interesting tweet for him to favorite. Nothing like any of his other favorites. Means nothing. I know. I'm just nuts.

In the Rolando tape, love the hairdo of JC. And loved that the cheerleaders pulled team mates off Rolando and helped him up. JC had some heartbreaks, but his teams gave more than they received!:)

I never thought of that smiley as mean-spirited, but I can see what you're saying. Thanks for the hint. :)

VCU fans no longer need to worry about Tevin Mack.

What happened? WHY ARE YOU TOYING WITH ME?!

lol....sorry.

Too soon to pick a winner with the home team getting a visit this weekend, but it won't be VCU - they're not getting him.
 
Did I miss something, or have people just been overrating their chances this whole time?

The VCU fans love marveling at their single, 18 month old, 470,000 view recruiting thread. That makes them a contender. ;)
 
Mack's Mom: "I told him whatever he decides, where he feels comfortable, if it's right up the street or up north, it's alright by me as long as he gets his education." That sounds a lot like KO to me.

Definitely don't like hearing that his mom has a favorite. It's pretty hard to overcome the mom a lot of times, and I'd say it's pretty low odds that we're her favorite.

She went out of her way to say that she was keeping her opinion to herself, basically deferring to her son's choice. I was glad to see this even though we all know that there are many ways for a parent to communicate a preference without spelling it out for the world to see. I am glad that at least one of our "targets" will probably be making a decision soon. The microscopic focus on interpreting every thing that is tweeted or blogged about the remaining recruits has gotten very tiresome. I would perk right up with an announcement that Tevin will be a Husky.
 
I've started to look forward to checking out the smile inducing posts on the VCU board's 18 month old recruiting thread. This morning, it seems that one guy decided to take the time to look up all our recruits since 2006 & ask why so many "4 and 5" star guys never made it to the NBA despite our reputation of getting guys into the league.

Sooooo....I ask you....was 5'-10" Wiggins ever going to play in the league?...Did you know that Madeldove and Darius Smith were 4 star guys??? And Nate Miles?? he. he....I guess the big question is why did this guy decide to include 4 star players on this list?? Does he realize that a "4 star" rankings includes players all the way down to #100? Is he trying to ask why we didn't turn these kids ranked #70 or #90 out of high school into 5-10 NBA pros???? JC was good but...

Oh..and here's the best part, he's got DeAndre Daniels on his list. Damn!!!!...give the kid a chance. He hasn't even gotten his 2014 national championship ring yet.

We've had kids who weren't even known get to the league with JC and the same will happen with KO. They're not even "smart" enough to do any homework. Wondering how many guys they have in the NBA?

VCU fans saying we don't develop NBA players is just about the most ignorant thing I've read and I've seen a lot on these boards!
 
About 30 US players make the NBA each year so a top 100 player has about a 30% chance to get a cup of coffee (or more) in the NBA. It would be interesting to compare schools at proficiency at getting top 100s to the NBA. I'd have to believe UConn would be at or near the top.

And you really need to take the obvious out of the equation. I mean the kids who go one year because its a rule don't come into play in this percentage. They are already considered lottery picked before they step on a campus so there is very little coaching impact (yeah you Squid)........

Challenge accepted. I'll be back in about an hour or so. Using Rivals by the way, data goes back further than ESPN.
