Vital

Appreciate all the good vibe for CV. This from one of the very few on this board who has been in his corner since day one
He is a Husky through and through
His hustle and desire takes a backseat to none who EVER wore the UConn uniform
To me he is the AAC POY no matter what happens from this day on
I have to laugh at many on this thread who have shredded this young man here and on the chat room now considering CV as the greatest thing since sliced bread. JSMH
CV has been one of my favorites since the day he hit those free throws vs Cuse
I am so happy to look a few rows down and see JA sitting there and going crazy for CV - those guys are awesome
(Seeing Bazz was icing on the cake)
 
Too bad we couldn't RS him his freshman year, we gotta get this guy to the postseason.
 
He did a great job of getting us back in it with timely shots and had a nose for the ball on D and didnt try to force it and try and be the hero.
 
I’ve been one of the hardest on him on here but he played awesome today. Dude has a lion heart and is inspiring. He plays above his talent level bc of his work ethic and heart and I hope he continues to play this way bc if he does we will be playing in the postseason.

Vital and Bouk are starting to make for a great 1, 2 senior, freshman, punch in the face and it’s awesome

Thank you for your service.
 
He can be the catalyst for the next three weeks of the regular season and put UConn into position to make a run in the conference tourney
 
He was big. I've said it before, he was born too late for today's game. I think he would have had a good NBA career in the 80's.

If he was a half step quicker or 3 inches taller, he would be a dominant superstar. He has the basketball IQ and hustle. Though he will be maddening quick putting up a shot once in a while, I will absolutely miss watching him next year and beyond.

Hopefully it's not for a long time, but I could imagine him being Hurley's replacement one day.

His decision making has appeared to be MUCH better in the last few games and I think that's where the difference is. He's always been great on boards, ft's and all around hustle and when you add the recent maturity on decision making, he is becoming the real deal.

We need to win the AAC Tournament. This kid and this team deserves to play in the NCAA Tournament if they keep fighting the way they have been. Absolute guts. All of them.

We can still get an at large bid. Win the next 6 and the first 2 in the tournament and we will be on the bubble. Make it to the finals of the AAC tournament and I think we would be in. It's doable, even with the 8 man team.

The kid put up some numbers today. Today's stats don't lie. One rebound short of a double double. Can't ask for a better teammate the way he sat with Akok.

And when we saw Christian defer to Bouk in prior games, we saw Bouk rely on CV at crunch time time today.

Always loved cv especially after sophomore year. He was always running his yap and starting fights. Jc would love this kids fire!!! He wasn’t a 4* cruit but Calhoun would have given this kid a uniform for maybe all but the 2004 team. I really liked Rodney for a lot of the reasons I like cv so it was an easy connection. They love the blue and white. Dyson was of the same mold of the powerful, undersized 2, with limited athleticism (on an nba level) strong defense and the questionable 3 point attempt. JD just irks me with what I felt was his hijacking the 2010 team from kemba instead of playing alongside him. Like a silent coup. Felt jc could have reigned that in a bit more.

Today may have been Vital's best overall game. The kid leaves it all on the court. First team all UConn in that regard.

Im going really going to miss Vital next year. Vital is one of those players where you don’t appreciate him until he is gone. You can argue Vital’s ability as a player all you want, but CV Is definitely a unanimous first team all heart, and its not even a debate.

Stayed in just enough control to be a terror for the other side. I hope he can keep the boundary and deliver. He’s pretty awesome when he’s not out of control. CV’s most important best game ever.
