UConn First Night

[mbr33ct]

It's official...

UConn First Night will be held Oct. 18

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ok, now the speculation as to who will be there.

Paige--almost certainly.

Nika--it's a long flight, but this could be her official visit.

Mir--probably.

Saylor--probably as well.

Azzi--I sure think so.

 

[bluedevil]

Maybe some tall 11th graders as well....?

 

[Hayven]

Hopefully Cardoso and/or Edwards are there

Hopefully, but I’ve heard that communication with Cardoso has dropped of substantially.

Not surprising. Her size would be welcome but she's as raw as sushi.

Geez. Now THERE's an image.

Are you sure? Sounds fishy to me.

Don't be Koi. I'll take the bait. For a joke like that I can only pay you scale.

 

[Zanzman]

Just for the halibut I’ll give you a like

Wasn't there just a tweet about UConn getting one of her five official visits ? Have things changed since that announcement?

I don’t know about a visit to UConn. But back in February Geno stopped in to see Cardoso, per the CT Post. Since that time there has been little additional information linking Cardoso to UConn.

 

[Woof 101]

Not sure about all the flounder with the whale of a first night at the school, but the joke sharks are running!

 

[Go/huskies]

I’m guessing this is a hard year to be in need of a post player if the top one in the class is so bad, the rest can’t be that good, maybe it’ll be like 2010 all over again.

This tweet was posted in a separate thread. So, maybe conversations have picked up ?

Perhaps Geno needs @Sifaka to help with the Portuguese?

If that is so, I like UConn’s chances. MS St & SC are loaded with Bigs and I just don’t view tOSU & the Cuse at the same level as the rest of her top 5.

In addition to Italian and English, Geno appears to be able to communicate quite effectively in Croatian and Polish. How hard could it be for Geno to also brush up on his Portuguese?

Don't believe everything you read, especially on the Boneyard. While the class is certainly not the deepest at the post position, Cardoso is the furthest thing from being "bad".

Enough already, you guys should clam up.

Agreed. She has really a high IQ and runs the floor and moves well, the rest is to be left up to Geno.

2021 has DeBerry, but past that it seems to be more of the athletic 4/5 players, which Geno really likes (Lattimore, Hollingshead, Iriafen, Moore, etc.)

2022 has Betts

 

[MilfordHusky]

I think we could really use Cardoso and, of course, Geno and CD could develop her tremendously.

 

[Carnac]

Geez. Now THERE's an image.

Yeah, it got my attention too.

 

[Husky fanatic]

Enough already, you guys should clam up.

Did you shell out good money for that

 

[CL82]

Not bad, although it might be time to scale back on the fish puns.

Let's not bring @Fishy into this.

 

[JordyG]

This whole topic has started to fishtail. I'll let you all off the hook since many posts here seem to merely be canards. In the between I'm going to come up for air, dine on a little surf and turf, and regale you all on the one that got away.

In the immortal words of @triaddukefan, "Puxa vida!"

Ok, straight to the basics:

Cod — bacalhau
Squid — lula
Sardine — sardinha
Clams — Amêijoas
Octopus — polvo

Coisas adicionáis (further items) by request.

Speaking of fish ...falando dos pescados... here is a favorite Brasileiro recipe:


Vatapá

Brazilian Shrimp Stew (Vatapá)

With its floral backbone of coconut milk and palm oil, this highly adaptable Brazilian stew finds umami richness in salt cod, dried shrimp, chiles, and nuts.
