Heard about this a couple of weeks ago, that he was going to UMass, but didn't know the rest of the story.

UConn needs another big body, but is anyone in the portal that fills that bill?

Too be fair on two fronts:

Coach: Tre's mom is pretty hot so that makes sense. Pulling recruits with you to your new job is also smart seeing you know how to motivate them to succeed.

Tre: Two other players from Woodstock signed with UMass before he did...playing with people you know is a big deal. UMass also has a Putnam guy inbound so 4 players from CT...gives Tre some connection to home. Not to mention the coach going. For once, the kid did what made sense and didn't follow the bags of cash.

Hearing their moms are also dating the coach!

Pre-engagement ring- LOL

Don’t believe every search result you see on the internet. That’s the 1999 UConn MBB National Championship ring.

Had a great time today. Lots of great stories.

Then back to Tre, Chief was just thinking, he ain’t going to get a National Championship ring at UMass. Just wanted him and other recruits to see those rings exists at UConn - multiple times. I always appreciate when someone who earned it - let me try it on. The ring always feels great.

I am not one who goes out of my way to find fault with you like some.
I must note you did somehow make this thread about you.
Just sayin.

No, the casual fans did, but Chief loves them anyways. Chief was sending a message that if you want to go to a place that knows how to win National Championships - you go to UConn not UMass. But , everyone is free to have their own priorities.

We all get why he made the choice. Saying what he did makes sense is crazy

Nah, not crazy. The dude followed his friends and his mom influenced him. Not everyone is only about basketball. There are still people who take family perspective and opinion to heart over basketball prowess of a school. It's rare but it happens.

Don’t want him. If he can’t make his own decisions on his life, i sure as hell don’t trust him to box out on a crucial possession
 
Matt Cross picked up a UMass crystal ball tonight. Woodstock kid so him ending up there would make sense.

No -- he is following the bags of cash. It's just being paid to his coach legally, who is involved with his mother. Does this really need to be spelled out for you?

I don’t really think that’s what’s happening here from Tre’s perspective. Tre is very close to his mom, so if her boyfriend moved to a school to Coach it would make sense for Tre to go there because his mom is there and he is also comfortable with the assistant coach.
True, the assistant coach is cashing in on all this and his cash/salary will help Tre’s mother and Tre’s standard of living. But, just my gut opinion that may be driving the adults involved but probably not Tre. Granted it’s probably a huge Salary increase going from WA coach to a D1 assistant.

No, sorry, unless he's a total idiot not even close. That anyone would think less of someone who took $1000 in a lunch bag to play ball somewhere but not someone participating in a complicated scheme by which the mother's boy friend and kid's coach probably has his basketball income tripled and gets a career track to boot is idiotic. And if you don't think Tre knows that, ask yourself the following question: why didn't they just hire the coach and announce it two months ago while Trey was deciding.

Cross can do a lot better than Umass if he wanted. Wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up being a 4 star.
 
This thread is filled with so much stupid garbage.

Have you guys seen UMass' basketball facility? It's pretty close to being as nice as UConn's. It's a good school if not excellent school to go to depending on the major. There's clearly family reasons at play here as well. Also - they've been getting **** guys for the past few years. A hunk of the Houston team that turned us inside out a few times was made up of UMass transfers

And a huge lol on the cash thing. They don't have a pot to p-ss in at UMass Athletics right now. Half the alumni base is still torched that Kellogg got thrown out the door and their season ticket base is in the toilet.
