Why key for UConn men’s basketball team is Andre Jackson and Jordan Hawkins reaching their potential (Hearst)

[SubbaBub]

Why? Becuase there is no one else, duh.

I'm just happy to see I wasn't one of the "stupid" ones LOL

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Lol, it's like the same 4 clowns, who are constantly wrong about everything, saying we shouldn't take him. That is gold

OMG looking back, the horrible takes by the usual suspects are 100% expected but still spit-out-your-morning-coffee hilarious.

So much fun to go back and read the posts from all these “experts”. CTBasketball and JimHurley thought this was a horrendous decision. “Low basketball IQ” and “not a team a team player” are just some of the idiotic things said about Martin. Guy did a ton for this program so glad he proved all those guys wrong

 

[RichZ]

They really aren't though. Out of the 10 "best" transfers right from the start, like 2 of them have committed so far, and one of those was Newton. Do you want Hurley to go out there and get a guy like Locke - who is a severely limited player - just so we would have bodies? No. Roster construction is an art form, it takes time. Panicking leads to desperation which leads to getting flawed players who don't fit

Panicking leads to filling a spot with whatever's available. It leads to Kwintin Williams.

10 pages of JimHurley telling us we need to take Nolley over Martin.

Two years later: Martin > Nolley

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Then you have memory loss. Many thought we could do “better”.

Different from "disappointed."

I thought there was no urgency to have him cleared to play, and figured that he'd sit out a year, and in retrospect I was quite wrong. But I wasn't at all disappointed, and I do not remember that being as much the sentiment as you post suggested in such a strong-toned yes or no fashion.

Just click the link he posted and read through the thread. There was some real strong no's from posters as soon as they saw his name

My favorite post from that Martin thread came from RipCity:

Not people I tend to respect or highly value, and in rereading the thread, I also reacquainted myself with his offer list and final 5, which made clear that he was identified as high major talent.

Relatedly, Ant was all in, very early for Landers Nolley from VaTech. His past two years at Memphis were not bad, but Martin's scoring, shooting, rebounding all trended upward and were better than Nolley.

I'm OK taking my loss on thinking we didn't need him in the immediate year and would be fine if he sat a year. That's reflective of me being slower to react to the changing landscape post-COVID, and assuming that the NCAA wouldn't grant a waiver.

 

[Improviser]

They've got 20 minutes.

You're too impatient.

They need 200 minutes.

And AJ needs to deconstruct and then rebuild his jumper.

Yessir.

Aren’t there still like 1300 guys still in? I think as more commit, it’ll be a domino reaction in the next month or two.

I don’t disagree, but them and Sanogo are what’s left, so it better be true!

Someone that wants to read their content I would guess.

Advertisers.

Those posting obituaries for family members.

Those who want to read interesting stories of local families opening a restaurant or closing a 100 year old business known in the community, or any similar human interest story.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Redge, like a lot of local newspapers can be read for free at www.nhregister.com. But, to get the aforementioned perks, they label stories as Premium and charge a yearly fee of like $200 to read those stories.

I suppose if you supplement the free material from nhregister.com with www.wtnh.com, you would get pretty good comprehensive coverage of local and regional news.

Bizarrely, nydailynew.com has a limit of free articles, whereas nypost.com has unlimited reading. Not much difference in the quality of those two, IMO. Both cover NY crime and the NY sports teams, smattering in national and international news.

USA Today online, has a lot of Subscribers Only, above stories. And, they keep reducing the free online content.

Good points all. I live in Phoenix, so hence no interest in NH area news.

This is an epic thread of failure. The gold standard of Boneyard player evaluations is still some of the comments in the Kwintin Williams thread.
