UConn Alumni All-Star Game 8/12 (Mohegan Sun)

[BigErnMcCracken]

If you knew me in real life that's the last word that would come to mind.

This made me laugh out loud.

Don't make fun of him, he might beat you up in real life

 

[JimHurley]

It's selfish to assume these guys owe anyone anything.

It's called common courtesy.

Did you get tossed?

I have to agree with you. What's so hard about taking pictures or signing autographs?

 

[JimHurley]

Exactly my point. Especially for the kids. Props to guys like Okafor, Boo, and Gibbs who didn't leave until they signed for everyone who wanted an autograph.

Type in Drummond charity/Andre Drummond charity into google

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Did you get tossed?

Saving it for December.

Already had Lamb sign something and will never ask Drummond to sign anything. Least favorite husky ever.

At least this explains why you think Drummond was a horrible underachieving bust at UCONN. What a shock that you're unable to separate your personal feelings about him from his play on the court.

These are people. Who knows what's going on. Maybe he had to take a dump really bad. Maybe he's been sick and just wanted to go home. Maybe he has to catch a flight back somewhere for some engagement.

I generally hear positive stories about Drummond from people behind the scenes when not out in public. I think he also is a good dude.

A UConn retired trainer, who did contract work at STM and has seen many of UConn's great athletes told me he thought he was a really nice kid - at the time he feared too nice. Like Coach, he likes Bigs to have a mean side.

Like another poster said there are often legitimate reasons guys cut things short.

The only bad thing I ever heard about Andre in Middletown is for whatever reason he doesn't go back to the middle school, Woodrow Wilson. I think I may know the reason but not speculating. He has gone back to his elementary school, and does stuff for the YMCA - sometimes he will buy people haircuts and stuff like that. He treats his mom well. And most importantly he listens to the Chief.

 

[David 76]

His Mom, formerly a nurse at Middlesex Hospital, worked with a friend of mine. I heard wonderful things.
BTW, she is no longer nursing.

You're right. They don't owe fans anything. It's just gheir character that will get trashed when they act like jerks to little kids, but hey, freedom.

Also why I take all of the celebrity and athlete horror stories with a grain of salt, like anyone should. I had multiple interactions with the kid and the worst character trait I could use to describe him was that he was a little immature, which makes sense considering he was 18 when I met him. Otherwise he was a perfectly nice guy the handful of times I spoke with him.

I don't really understand how you can expect the conversation to get back on topic by insulting the person who started the side conversation.

 

[Chief00]

Good article about Andre that perhaps will answer some of JimOllie's concerns:

UConn Men's Basketball - Hartford Courant

And most importantly he listens to the Chief.

Quite frankly, this is all that matters.
