Yakwe out for season

[Stainmaster]

Nice to see Hurley following in Ollie's footsteps of recruiting injury prone players.

O.M.G. yes . . . !

Is it too late to have student tryouts for a center position?

 

[jibsey]

Sorry for the kid’s injury and thin is not the word for the front court. Transparent would be that word now.

When it rains, it pours.

Naw, its been storming for a while!

 

[aburks41]

Where tf is Mamadou? They said he would be back by mid December

this is quickly and unfortunately becoming a development year. extra development minutes for carlton, sid and polley in the front court, as painful as it might be to watch, need to be the priority. i would also look to get b adams a few extra minutes at the expense of smith going forward. the freshmen coming in next year are not going to make this a tournament team by just putting a jersey on, they'll need to follow the lead of the holdovers.

I agree with whoever posted about getting a couple athletic football guys. At least they could help in practices.

Have you seen the football program? Edsall would love to have a couple of athletic football guys.

I kid, I kid.

Let's keep a positive perspective. We have not even approached the record Ollie's team set last year getting blown out by 30 or more points 6 or 7 times. Anyone who even hints that Hurley's team resembles the Titanic disaster from last year, has a very short memory.

Great response. I laughed

I was joking, kinda of.

But we just beat Syracuse and were 4-0.

Ever think after 4 titles you’d be staring at a 4 year clip of missing out on March Madness, outside of maybe an NIT appearance? Brutal.

Foot injuries are the worst for basketball players - it takes very little for those injuries to become chronic.

But anyone who thought we were an NCAA team coming into this season was not paying attention.

I know we went over this 1 billion times but no one seems to really know the answer- why not let alok suit up and play (if possible) what’s the worst that can happen ? Losing a season of eligibility with him not gonna matter because he’s not going to stay more than two years - three Years max anyways- yeah he’s a string bean but let him get the experience. Who cares at this point? I kno I’m reaching but....

See @businesslawyer post from earlier in the thread. I believe Amore mentioned this same thing as well.

 

[superjohn]

The only guy in the frontcourt who plays any defense and doesn't play like a total down low. Just great.

 

[Tommyboy]

Welp. Sounds about right for UConn basketball lately. The one PF/C bright spot. Need a drink.

 

[LIuconn]

NOT GOOD
and I highly doubt we get productive minutes from Diarra, if any at all
Punt on 2019 (UGH!) and shore up the 19-20 front court with JC's, SR transfers and Kofi!

I think we don’t have anyone over 6’5 on the football team. I’d be interested in seeing 6’4” 350 DL Kevon Jones battling on the boards!

Hurley should just go to Kofis house tomorrow at Noon. We need you big fella. I’m supposed to be coaching a game right now. I’m here with you.

If anyone including Coach Hurley needs the services of an excellent sports medicine podiatrist, should contact Dr Brian Fullem. He is one of the best in the business, he is also a top notch surgeon. He operated on both of my ankles and completely cured me of heel spurs and severe pain caused by 40 years of running. I'm back to running and have never felt better.

This program has become a rehab center for the infirm.
