This may be the single worse thread in the history of ccomputer s

So who knows. I just don't think this guy's coming to UConn and i'm not sure we're anywhere close to his top 2-3 choices right now... I hope i'm wrong, of course.

What's the 3rd school that has blown away UConn? Maybe Iowa St.?

Overspoke, there. I'd say Wisco is #1, Maryland #2 and we're top of the 'pack'.

Just watched Duke-Syracuse. If Christmas could make a shot after great post moves, Cuse coulda won. The atmosphere in the Carrier Dome was awesome. Can we somehow get in the ACC, and play Cuse, Duke, Carolina, Pitt, Louisville, NC State, etc.? Great, great, competitive league. I know football rules, but the ACC stole all the best Big East teams EXCEPt the best Big East Team in men's basketball. The AAC is seriously dragging us down. I have the third best package on Direct TV, and I get all the NFL games, but not CBSSports channel, who is dying for programming and they apparently have hitched their wagon to AAC programming. But I'm not paying more to see Tulsa vs. Houston. Sad, sad situation.

1st time EVER Cuse got homed by another team at the Dome. Only Duke could get that many calls at the Carrier!

stone with 22 points, start of the 4q

 

[jackanddanny8]

I got you ... 221, but I'm not paying for it. You got the upgrade. And you're paying. I'm not. I catch them on ESPN when I can (always) but...they're playing ECU? CBSSports can kiss my ass for that offering for $20 a month more a month for that matchup.

99 - any clue what Stone is waiting on? It seems pretty obvious he's going to Wisconsin, right?

No after watching last night he is reconsidering last night. Earlier in the year he was chased away by the Boneyard's observers who said AB would be a lottery pick either this year or next. He now realizes his path for minutes isn't as difficult as originally thought so we still have a shot.

Take with a grain of salt. A recruiting writer told me that stone does NOT have the grades to get into Wisconsin at this point. He was told if he shows improvement then he is in.

Maryland uses the minimum ncaa requirement and so his safety.

Interesting

 

[Brochacho]

Where are we compared to Wisconsin? If we have lower standards than Wisconsin maybe he will improve his scores enough to qualify for UConn, but not Wisconsin.

At this point, I'd fly from Storrs to Wisconsin to take his damn SAT for him if he comes here But for the record, what are our standards for athletes?

I know we're pretty much dead in the water for Stone, but I refuse to give up hope until Bo Ryan has his LOI.

Wow, so we dropped to number 3 on his list behind Maryland? Interesting that Wisconsin is holding higher admission standards considering all 3 schools are top 20 public schools according to US News with Wisconsin 13, UConn 19 and Maryland tied for 20th.

If it is not Wisconsin then I think sneaker power comes into play.. there is a reason why he went to midnight at Maryland with their 27 fans and not uconn after winning the title

Can we please stop talking about this kid and get rid of this thread. He's not coming to UConn so we shouldn't give two sh_ts about him. Start a thread on the Greek kid.

 

[Jaker]

We had better not lose out to the Terps. I remember when Calhoun used to kill Gary Williams on the recruiting trial.

 

[Zionn]

those days when we used to kill VCU, UNLV, and Oregon? Those days?

I understand the appeal of staying home and I even understand the appeal of MD (B1G, UA, etc), but how does anyone really know we are out?
