UConn in the Pros December 2025

Maybe the worst take I’ve ever seen on this board.

You don’t have to gain an arbitrary status to talk trash, that’s not how the sports world works.

I’d assume, and he’s correct in doing so, Cam has talked trash since he started playing competitively.

Cam talked trash to the doctor when he was born, "you can't stop me getting to my spot..."

 

[GlastonTim]

Cam is being his authentic self.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I love the trash talk from Cam. I also love trash talk in general as long as it doesn’t get to KG-Charlie V levels of just straight disrespect.

That’s why I never really understood why fans would clown a recruit for trash talking in his HS mixtape. Shows heart and intensity, I dig it.

 

[temery]

Amazing.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm having a pretty good day.

Cam should only be allowed to talk trash once he becomes one of the 5 best players in basketball history.

I don't think we're on the same page on what we think trash talk is.

Trash talk (in basketball) is verbal taunting or provocative speech directed at an opponent to intimidate, distract, or gain a psychological edge during a game.

Hardly listen to this pod since JJ left but this is some good insight into what made Cam Cam.

Love Cam but the Pat Spencer story continues to amaze me. While he was still playing lacrosse at Loyola his friends would ask him what he's going to do after college. His response was play in the NBA. Before Northwestern. Before anything.... and here he is. Amazing.

I haven't followed a Pat Spencer story. How did he even get the opportunity to play in the NBA if he wasn't playing college ball?

 

[RuffRuff]

Possibly my favorite Husky, but he is no where good enough to talk trash. Not yet, anyway.

If he wasn't talking trash, he'd lose his superpower.

These two are of some incredible genetics.

This still cracks me up. I have the genes of an athlete, just not a competitive one.

It's insane. It's just about impossible to make the NBA and this guy does it after never playing 4 years through college because he was dominating lacrosse as one of the greatest players of all-time.

They are a different breed, I think both of them could've picked their sport and been amazing at it. I wouldn't say that for most professional athletes.

Pretty sure he and most others know what it is. What about what he said makes you think he needed the AI definition?

He just disagrees with your take that you should be a certain level of player to talk trash.

He played 1 year of basketball at Northwestern. After 4 years of lacrosse at Loyola.

Then Overseas, then G league

Unlike the modern athlete, I bet the Spencer boys were old school multi sport athletes that built muscles/brain power to be elastic across sports. Not the specialists you see today that pick a sport early and never touch another. When you hear about some of the great players, they often do - I know Lebron played football, MJ played baseball.

Our guy Richard strikes with a big statement

[Scottzer]

Mr Kent is short changing Cam. 50-50-90!

 

[NJHusky]

I get he played for Rutgers, but if he doesn't come to Uconn, does he ever get a shot?? I know he's been back in Storrs, has he been back to any RU practices?

Our guy Richard is a Rutgers homer. He's a tough follow because has some insightful takes, but then wallops his cred with stuff like this.

Did you know that Rutgers coaches have coached players who made over a billion in the NBA combined! That’s impressive stuff.

The Spencer brother story is absolutely legendary. They need to do a 30 for 30 on those two.

I’m sure everyone knows that Pat was a 4 year All American in lacrosse at Loyola Maryland and won the award for best lacrosse player. He went to Northwestern to play basketball for a year because he said basketball was always his first love. Went to play in Europe and then went to the G League and now he’s the starting PG for the Warriors. Probably just until Curry is back. They showed the clip when they were guarding each other in a game. Pat was smiling and trying to back Cam down. Cam...

I think he does. He could go overseas for a year, get noticed. He's got the drive. UConn certainly accelerated his journey though

Cam's a winner why would he go back to Piscataway?

 

[gsmooth]

I don't think the Grizzlies will ever win anything with Morant. They should trade him. Heck of a talent and crazy athletic but he's not someone you want as your best player. He's also a knucklehead, which is never a good thing.

They shouldn't trade Morant now, but might have to trade him now as contradictory as that sounds. His trade value is low and any wiling trade partners will just look to exploit Memphis for pennies on the dollar. However, I am not so sure things with Morant and the Grizzlies are going to get better-he simply has lost his motivation.

Pat Spencer was cut from varsity lacrosse and basketball his sophomore season at Boys Latin and played JV because he was 5'4 120 lbs and they wanted him to have the ball in his hands at the JV level to develop as his body developed. Hollywood needs to make a movie about the brothers.
