Haha…ok, I wasn’t sure before, but after this post I’m POSITIVE you’re a troll.

Yeah, he’s like what 9800 posts in? If he’s a troll he’s playing a masterful long game. Just saying.

I was making a joke that references three threads. Where ever I posted it, I was going to be tagging two people in another thread. I have no comment on the substance of the arguments, just snark.

Will Shizzle sizzle or fizzle? Tune in at 11 for the latest!

Here’s my ever so slight contribution to the fizzle side.

It was1999 in UConn’s first NC. One of the moments etched in my memory was Soulemane Wane’s strip of Elton Brand and follow up basket. That play and the look on Brand’s face was priceless. That’s as well as you can do with a sub 100 player. Have a pivotal play in the most pivotal game that was significant in the most important game in UConn mens bb history.

This conversation belongs on Doggy Fizzle Televizzle. I’ll contact Snoop.

One simple request. Can everyone stop responding to Schizzle so we can get this thread back on topic. We have an amazing class coming in, arguable one of the best ever on paper, and we are debating nonsense with an individual who just wants to argue

He's being deliberately obtuse but the responses are gold. No better way to welcome in our 5th member of an incredible recruiting class than to have a thread that demonstrates the incredible UConn fandom and information called The Boneyard.
 
Gotta give it to Shizzle. Making a statement like "Nice kid. May need time to fully develop. I'd rather use last scholarship on a big man in the transfer portal who has already developed a post game in college is my preference." would be defensible. Plenty would disagree with the argument but it provides a clear preference.
 
The best part of the portal is for schools like us, the players who don’t prove their talent level can go down immediately to schools that fit them better. Either Singare shows the staff his worth in practice, or we’ll help him find a new home when transfer big man X comes in. There’s no use being worried about it.

He'll be more than worth it. He's going to get playing time sooner not later developing quicker than expected.

The copium in that thread is amazing. They keep saying they’ve been better in recent years, but the last 2 years we’ve finished higher in the Big East. In the meantime our coach has set us up for more future success, while theirs bolted for Maryland. Great read.

This is a kid that is referred to as raw, but honestly, he isn’t all that raw. He has really good hands, can handle the ball well enough to race down court on the break with it, obvious athletic ability and good mechanics on his shot and post moves. I don’t think he’s too raw. My guess is that the game will move too fast for him at first and once he figures that out, he’ll flourish. Kids this tall don’t usually look super smooth with the ball.
 
The extra cherry and sprinkles on top of this commitment, is that our 2024 target Tahaad Pettiford has been Singare's point guard on NH Lightning. I don't know anything about their relationship, but that connection has the possibility of helping. I love Stephon Castle, but if he sticks with his stated hopes of 1 and done, Pettiford would be a big time need, to be as good as Stephon, and lead an experienced future team at that point, (at the point).
 
This is simple even for shizzle. The kid is similar to Brimah but he’s coming in to the program in a better position than AB. AB was asked to be the 5 almost from the outset of his career and that was a huge ask. He would’ve been a tremendous back up if there had been a 5 already cemented in front of him. Unfair to a raw player like he was but in this case Singare gets to be behind Donovan and be a piece rather than thrown into the fire. I like this get, its perfect and he will flourish as he grows slowly into whoever he becomes.

That was a weird read. Teams are always going to be in better shape when the coach chooses to leave for a “better“ job than when one is fired. It meant things were going quite well. Comparisons between Dan and Shaheen are kind of dumb. I loved watching Holloway play and am very glad he’s in the BE. I also like watching friends coach against each other, especially these two teams that are going to fight hard. It is a little strange that Seton Hall and Villanova don’t have any ’23 recruits yet, but it doesn’t effect my high opinion of either Holloway or Neptune.

That thread was bizarre! Logic has gone out the door with some. They really downplay every Hurley recruit since they are all overrated while elevating their own coach because "Holloway was a McDonalds All American player who was named the MVP of the McDonalds Game".

A lot of people didn't think Martin was NBA material at the end of March. Most had him pegged for Europe. Go back to everyone's posts from March. Hindsight is 20/20.

Will be fun when you once again realize hindsight is 20/20.
 
Oh really? Fans of another team are being homers on their message board? That's wild. Anyway, remember how many people here said we had a superior program to Kansas up until this past April?

Are you saying that we don't?
 
Rooting on Holloway & Neptune. Them being good is good for the BE & us.

Can’t criticize Holloway too much, Dan Hurley went HS->Wagner->RI-> here. Holloway is definitely skipping a few stones from Saint Peter-> SHU. He prob wasn’t even in the same room frequently with a lot of the guys he now has access and ability to recruit

*Rutgers to St. Benedict’s to Wagner to Rhode Island
His assistant role at Rutgers (and family stuff) was why he left the college game. He didn’t want another job in college until he could run his own program. Turned down Marist, went to Wagner a few years later.

As someone who’s been a fan of Seton Hall since Danny was playing there, I’m thrilled Willard is gone and Sha is in. It makes them infinitely more likable again for me. Holloway was an assistant at Seton Hall for eight years. It’s not that new to him, it’s just different being in the first seat.

One of the recruiting guys said he thought Neptune and Villanova would prove they’re still elite, hit the transfer market in the spring, and then come back strong for the ‘24s. That seems like a reasonable take.
