I’ve been a lurker on this board for a very long time and only recently began posting. I’ve seen so much about Chief or back and forths about chief. His name has dominated conversation recently. This tends to happen every year around big recruiting periods. How have we not figured out if he actually has an in with the program after so many years.

I for one enjoy what he brings to this board cause it doesn’t really do me any harm. It’s playful and I’m just a generally laid back guy so he doesn’t really annoy me. But my biggest question is does he actually know when the damn dam will break?! Cause I’ve been fiending for some good freaking news and hoping it comes sooner rather than later and in bunches.

Chief is like Jon Snow, he knows nothing

Dan Hurley commanded Chief to build an ark and gather all UConn fans aboard. Everyone not in the ark will be doomed in the American Conference for eternity. The dam will break.

Chief appreciates the casual fan's perspective. You may now return to your casual fan lurking and allow Chief to return to posting more of those *just* adorable Bunkey dancing Instas. Man, do I just enjoy the heck out of those.

Bunky’s just out there in the street having fun, dancing and directing traffic. He’s living that crossing guard life.

Funny thing is September is already almost half over. And if by the end of the month we have say 1 commit, Chief will still call that single commitment “the dam breaking”.

With all due respect, you don't know how big the dam is, so who are you to judge how much it will take to break it?

It might be a small dam.

So little faith. Half empty vs half full.

Pretty sure somewhere in this thread or another Chief already primed us for the scenario that 1 commit would break the dam and others may follow but not in September sooooo..........

The only scenario that he doesn't have covered is us not getting a commitment from a single recruit until the spring. Odds on that are extremely slim.

That is factually inaccurate. It’s September - can’t be clearer than that. If it doesn’t happen in two weeks - you can be happy I am wrong. But, you can’t have it both ways.

The part about being clearer is what your definition of "dam breaking" entails. Its a metaphor. There's ambiguity unless you are specific.
 
Will the dam break due to an overload of recruiting commitments or because of aged infrastructure? Couldn't help it, this post has been most entertaining ;).

Way to go out on a limb after being told that Hurley typically gets commitments in September on or after official visits and then learning that we had several official visits scheduled for September.

The irony is the folks having it both ways are the ones who say it’s a layup prediction but they will be the first ones to criticize Chief, if we get no September commits. The hypocrisy is LOL.

Think it'll be Bouk and one of Wong/Gaffney. Which is a good start! Im just not sure I'd consider this the dam breaking. We'd have to reserve judgement. If Kofi and Precious commit in following months, then yes, the dam was broken.

My issue isn't the prediction. My issue is that it's just so vague for no reason....and then he doubles down on being vague. I don't need specific names, just say we will be getting 1-2 commits in September and more will follow in later months. Also the fact that literally 90% of his nonstop posting is the same tired gimmick. I'm so over the 3rd person stuff. It's increasingly annoying. I think others feel the same way.

Two quality guards is the damn breaking. Precious is waiting for spring. I hope and expect we can land one of the bigs this fall, and then I think Hurley holds a spot for Precious for as long as we seem to be in play.
 
According to Chief's Encyclopedic Dictionary: A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of high quality recruits (see UConn classes of 2017 and 2018).

Reservoirs of high quality recruits created by dams not only reflect the suppression of floods of said players to UConn but also create an environment conducive to movement of recruits (through often dark and unseemly alternate channels) to backwaters such as Syracuse and Providence where they risk irrelevance or, respectively, hypothermia or death by water fire.

The "dam break" often (quite often, actually) referred to by Chief is simply a metaphor signifying the removal of such a restrictive barrier and the subsequent orderly flow of recruits into an environment in which they can grow and flourish.

I didn't say it wasn't a good start. The dam breaking implies more is on the way.

It does. It doesn't imply that those "more" come in September.
