    O’Neil Robinson Tweet...

    Is the above the "tweet" in its entirety? How thin skinned are we allowing our youth to become? The coach's rebuke rates about a three on the insult-o-meter. Pretty tame, really.

    UConn in the NFL

    Root for Ram's John Sullivan, starting center, from Greenwich.

    Rate the 2018 UConn Early Signing Class

    The fact that he played as a true frosh indicated, to me, that UConn's admission requirements went beyond NCAA Clearing House requirements which, if true, is a significant disadvantage. In an article written later, Tyler's HS coach mentioned that he warned him about UConn' requirements.

    Greatest HS players in Connecticut state history

    Wrong Young. Bell played with brother Mike. BTW, Steve averaged less than 4-passes a game for his HS career. Also Greenwich's Sullivan, I believe, made all-state all three yrs. Greenwich's Jon Myers was a two-yr all-stater 4-star with 52 media-verified BCS (at the time) offers. Chose Princeton.

    UConn President Susan Herbst Talks Academics, Athletics And What Keeps Her Up At Night

    "Upstater," where are you? I believe you have, in previous posts, suggested that the AAU has no wish to increase the denominator while the numerator (research grants) is languishing.

    Attendance for UCF?

    It's funny. I used to think your last name was Hathaway. After-all, he did reduce costs (and increase his bonus) by stripping the BB program of its academic and compliance support all while alienating most, if not all, of the most substantial boosters. He also attempted to shove his HoF coach...

    UConn @ AAC Media Days (July 23/24)

    Herbst to Step Down as President in Summer 2019 - UConn Today So, are any of the accomplishments noted in the above true? Pay particular attention to in-state tuition in comparison to what UConn may now describe as "peer" institutions. When I first saw the article I thought it might be a...

    Ollie threatening to sue UConn

    Is this the same legal representation that allowed KO to sign an employment/PSC that defines "cause" as damn near everything/anything; right down to on-campus littering?

    Herbst Stepping Down

    Talk about "easier said than done." It has always seemed to me that CIAC rules related to the off-season and player contact with coaching staffs retard development and place CT HS football behind players from other sections of the country.

    Spring Game 2019 no more

    Right out of the blocks, in one of the articles I read, the first reason RE noted was "the change in the recruiting calendar." Does anyone understand the actual impact?

    Kisunas commits to Stanford

    For what it's worth, U S News has Stanford at #5 tied with MIT, Columbia and Penn. Duke is all alone at #9. Both are ranked ahead of Dartmouth, Cornell and Brown. HYP or in this case, PHY and the University of Chicago are 1 thru 4.

    Hurley Article on next years roster

    Not for nuttin, but the above indicates that he's delusional, as well. Play basketball? Professionally? UConn BB and/or putting his degree to work might be his only alternatives. Maybe some new advisors?

    SI: How Kevin Ollie Could Contest UConn's 'Just Cause' Firing

    Most recent list I've seen of top athlete "endorsers" has Tiger at number- four ($45.0MM). I believe that is for 2016. His previous partners are taking their places in line waiting to apologize and beg.

    SI: How Kevin Ollie Could Contest UConn's 'Just Cause' Firing

    What you're suggesting will remove UConn from big-time college sports. The type of coach necessary to immediately return the program to hallowed status is looking for guaranteed money. Even if the school finds a coach that will take a shorter (still guaranteed) deal, for less money, winning...

    (Link) drip drip drip, now NCAA and LSU's Wade

    My scenario says that when Emmert saw that UConn had not shown up on lists related to the FBI investigation, he reacted thusly: "What do mean they're no on the list. They've got to be on the list. Screw it. We'll make our own list------of one school---UConn."

    CIAC State Playoff Games Set (Official)

    I've seen Pryor play twice and have never seen Summers or Pyne; all FCIAC QB's. Therefore, I'm in no position to make a value based judgement. I do wonder, though, why everyone leaves out the All FCIAC first team QB, the Muir kid, from Greenwich. Almost 3000 yds. passing, a mid-sixties...

    Spring Game Second Impressions

    While they still have much to prove, from a talent/ability to compete standpoint, UConn never has to worry about the image the kids portray through the media. Sometimes, interviews of college players leave me uncomfortable, embarrassed and feeling that the institution's President has just put...
