UConn in final 7 for Montez Mathis

[CardiacAndre7]

Boneyard is straight jokes during the offseason ha. Like I can't wait for the backtrack from posters when the staff reel in talented players very soon... now everything is just doom and gloom. You got prominent posters legit calling the staff lazy lmao

Well when insiders on our board are saying the staff is getting outworked it is concerning. If we want a player bad like it seems we do with Mathis, we should NEVER be getting outworked, especially coming off 3 sub par seasons.

Straight up 50/50 at this point.

Wasn't there a recent Rutgers game with just 42 fans in the arena?

For those interested…
Montez will be playing tonight in Vegas for Team BBC (Maryland) in the Adidas Summer Championships.
Ballislife.com will be streaming the game on their Facebook page.
If you’re on Facebook, you can probably find it @ the below link.

Click on the “Video” link on the left side of the page.
When I watched part of the previous game, there was a “live” icon there.
Game is scheduled to start @ 5:40 pm PDT (roughly 8:40 pm on the east coast).
I think the game may start a lil later. There was a delay a in the earlier game.

Compton Magic are playing New England Playaz at the moment (ok, it’s halftime now). I don’t recognize most of the New England kids, but maybe some of you do….

You're thinking of BCU

Probably. And we're neck-and-neck.

Is it was that this has me excited?? Lol

 

[Silk31]

Just trying to picture the carnage if/when we lose out to Rutgers....

No, Rutgers for sure. BC had one fan in the student section. I'm talking about the entire arena for Rutgers.

Just picked up another ball from a Maryland insider. Both Ollie and Pikiell watching him right now. What's the difference? One was a guard in the NBA for 12 years.

Come on Montez, make the right choice.

Time for The Boneyard closing...

Montez,

UCONN's due for another Championship. Come be a part of history.

Does this kid's game resemble Prince Ali from a few years back?

 

[Fishy]

Get him in the truck - this would be a really nice jump start to the recruiting season.

 

[uconnbill]

Would be a very nice first commitment for the class of 2018.

We need something to break UConn and HCKO way.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Haven't been following closely. Is this kid supposed to announce soon? Seems like a lot of activity on his recruitment the last two days.

He said something like 'a couple days to a couple weeks' away from making an announcement, and noted he wanted to make it soon and was close to a decision. Should know any time now.

I'm here in its close with ru slight leader. Closer then i originally heard

 

[HawkHusky]

Look at his re-tweets. The UCONN ones are all pro-UCONN (talking about great guards and National Championships). The RU ones are all anti-UCONN (talking about our "crap conference" and not time-traveling to the past).

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but if you're seriously considering a school do you re-tweet someone trolling that school's conference affiliation?

Sid Wilson 2.0, let's hope the outcome is different

This is too funny. Rutgers would sell their first born to be what UConn is. Time travel...LOL Rutgers needs to time travel to a time when they were good at hoops...oops that's never. So maybe the future? Or maybe just an alternate dimension.

Hmmmm.....do i want to be a loser or a winner..........tough choice.

Even Rutgers people hate the basketball program: "Rooting for Rutgers men's basketball is like signing up for a dull pain that never goes away."

Rutgers and Julie Hermann have surrendered on fixing the men's basketball program | Politi

Rutgers & B1G Attendance: It’s hoops season but the conversation continues

Rutgers goes 11-1 under Steve Pikiell to start the season. But fans don't bother to show up.

 

[MSGSeven]

I hope we get this kid but if we don't people just need to let it go and move on. I don't buy that Ollie and the staff would've got outworked if he chooses Rutgers. The kid even said Ollie has been recruiting him since middle school. Right now Ollie and Chillious are putting the full press on the kid. While I understand the frustration, if the kid chooses Rutgers then that tells us all we need to know about him. Mathis will definitely not make or break the future of the UConn program but striking out on all our big targets will.

Just as an FYI, go look at verbalcommits.

UConn is not in on any other top 100 SG.

This kid is practically a must-get at this point for that position.

 

[GemParty]

Ahh, the old eggs in one basket trick. Let's hope we finally win one. RU has plan B,C,D they've been tracking. Pisses me off, they are UConn guys leading that wreck. Somebody is going to be left unhappy.

Um, no.....we can't lose targets to Rutgers....tell him what he wants to hear and just get him here.

Reddish? Or is he considered small forward?

I see your point but no one recruit is a must get. If we strike out on Mathis, Carey and Mucius then I'll worry. Unless we get Akinjo, Dort, Iggy and Carigan instead.
