Gated community in coastal Greenwich, not really a town.
Yes, Lloyd played at Holy Cross in college.No way. Once Hartford gets put down, we go on the attack. Norwich was in the way
We had a rule of thumb. If there was a town in CT you never heard of, it was near Norwich. 95% accurate. One of the best hs hoop players in state history went to NFA in the early 60s. Lloyd Hinchey was a great shooter. I had the embarrassing misfortune of spending 5 minutes trying to guard him in our law school league. Let’s leave it that I was not in his league. I hate Norwich.
Know what you mean. I'm from Hartford and proud of it. Good mix of people, good sports and a great place to grow up. We were probably lower middle class by today's standards but nobody cared.
Weaver was good, but when I was in schooll, Hartford Public and Bulkely were slightly better. Our star was Johnny Lee, an all around super athlete and good guy. Eddie Griffin was the star at HPHS. In the “it’s a small world” category, Gene Reilly was Bulkely’s star and Weaver kids despised him. He became my son’s uncle in law and was at my house a few times. He passed away a few years ago. His family actually moved from very near Weaver a few years before he was high school age. A team with him and John Lee would’ve been crazy. Too boot, the year before Griffin started hs, the city redistricted school and put Griffin outside the Weaver district. If all three of those guys had played together, lights out.
Didn't Will Smith move in with his Uncle Phil there for a while?
Johnny Lee and Eddie Griffin were two incredible athletes who both continued the Hartford connection to Linfield College. Weaver football coach Joe Biedler was the connection to Linfield. Good friends, Lee and Griffin would have loved to play together.
On Friday coaches can directly talk to 2020 recruits. We should see a few offers next weekend and partially find out who Hurley will be on next year.
He will be. I have nothing to back that but my confidence. That being said, book it!
So Okafor should have gone to Yale? Don’t think his extraordinary NBA success would have happened from there.
Potentially a lot more than Stanford finance degree. He can always go back an get an MBA and learn how to manage all that wealth.
He's a top 100 kid. He's trying to play basketball professionally. He will fit in really well with Hurley's perimeter motion offense. He's perfect on the wing.
An MBA isn’t gonna teach you how to manage wealth
Depends on how you focus.
