UConn among 4 schools prioritizing Jaiden Delaire

[HawkHusky]

The only thing I know about Vandy is when you see them in a March Madness bracket, always pick against them.

If you're not scared of Vandy it's because you haven't been paying attention. They have a top 5 class coming in, it's an elite academic school and Nashville is one of the best cities in the US.

I still think we get Delaire. But man we're gonna have to work for it.

Im fully aware of what Vandy is doing. My post was more tongue in cheek.

Yale makes huge-to-full financial aid contributions to pretty much all admitted students; Yale is probably the same or cheaper for most financially-average folks

The average student debt is minimal for most IVY grads . I was never sure if that was due to the means of their typical student, substantial assistance or a combination.
Its the middle class student who goes to the Quinnipiacs of the world (Fine but not elite private schools) who end up with the most debt.
Just another reason for class stagnation.

Storrs is funner.

10 years ago, sure.

He's being recruited by Duke and Virginia now. I've heard we are in great with him since Hurley got here but really want to get him on campus and close it out soon.

Losing out on him would sting a lot. Hopefully we get him here soon

Jalen Adams signed just after getting offered by Kansas and Louisville. Sometimes you just want to know you can land Megan Fox before settling down with Reese Witherspoon.

Yea, kids like this from Hartford don't come around too often. That would hurt.

Yeah, it would suck. But if you are gonna lose out, it might as well be Duke. They got Prima Nocte.

What’s a Vandy?

Named after "the Commodore" Cornelius who had some serious cash. In RI they had a little summer cottage called "The Breakers" Gloria Vanderbilt, a descendant, had her fine family name put on everyone's rear end when she launched a designer jeans line.

The Breakers was a decent little pad for Corny. After walking through it years ago what amazed me more than anything else is how they could import all of that marble and other structures and then somehow build this "cottage" back in those days. I mean I realize it's not the only one but to look at the size of some of the structures they brought in and then get them on to that property without the luxuries which exist these days is just amazing. People worked a lot harder back then that's for damn sure.

Maybe not the biggest hops, but that's not an unathletic play. He hung up there too. What are these 'unathletic' claims about?

Lateral quickness & he has no second jump (which limits his rebounding ability, especially out of area).

But still, kid's a stud.

Here they come.

Here they come.

Reality is, if we want any good players, we have to beat out good schools.

The only schools to really sweat are Duke and UK, and to a lesser extent UNC and Kansas.

 

[kansashusky]

UCLA is not a school to sweat.

 

[UconnU]

UCLA is not a school to sweat.

Talking with people I get the feeling we’re in good shape.
