Larrier Visited UConn Today

[Yankees32123]

If we land Larrier, King is an afterthought if he chooses Louisville. It won't matter. We need a point guard (Gilbert), a wing (Larrier), a project big (Diarra), an immediate impact big (Schnider Herard?), and maybe one of Bruce Brown, Tyrique Jones, or Mario Kegler.

I agree anyone can become "better" but not everyone can become "good"!

Sam can only get better right, but he will never be called a good shooter. Adequate maybe but that's okay, it's better.

A slasher like T-Sam only has to be good enough for the D not to sag on him

I want Mustapha Heron.

Latest delightful tidbit from the VCU board: they're convinced that KO was recruiting him while he was still on scholarship there. They also think that's true for Purvis, Miller, and Gibbs, and want the NCAA investigating our staff for tampering.

Why pay money for Netflix and cable when you can get good comedy like that with a simple internet connection?

 

[UCweCONN]

VCU was a decent program with Smart, without him, they're an afterthought.

Oh no! How will Phil get on the court then!

Larrier has to sit out this year, so Phil is on call to take a Charge when needed.

Well we know it definitely false for Miller. Columbus's coach said so. Gibbs it may be technically true but good luck proving it since he came up on his brothers official visit. I doubt he was recruiting Larrier or Purvis while they were on scholarship. On the flip side, I wouldn't be surprised if either had reached out to UConn.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Pretending we didn't reach out to purvis before he asked for his release seems silly to me. AS SOON as he announced he was transferring, the rumor took off he was a husky. Gibbs is different because he went on his brothers visit.

 

[uchusky32]

Maybe this line of conversation needs to go to PM mode.

 

[FartMan69]

Ill give those VCU lunatics credit they use "UConn" rather than Uconn or UCONN like 90%of the boards (including ours)

UConn and N.C. State were his final two, correct? It doesn't seem like much of a stretch to think that Purvis had UConn on his mind before he decided to transfer.

Who cares?

Leave the nonsense from another board on that board.

Of course. I'm thinking rumor got out among the college basketball landscape(before we found out) purvis was going to ask for his release, at least had UConn and probably others high on his list, than ollie verified that interest and got him to commit shortly after he was released... Just a guess...

"Havoc" used to be a reference to their high energy defensive scheme, now it's a reference to the state of their program. The longer you've been reading these boards the more you've heard fans of Johnny come lately programs bad mouth uconn. It used to cost me sleep but now it's just entertaining. All I care about is winning number 5.

UCONN is the official way to write it since they worked on the logo and lettering

Only for the wordmark should UCONN be used. Other than that, UConn is how it should be written.

Thank you. UCONN just looks ridiculous. It's either UConn or Uconn.

 

[CTBasketball]

I want Mustapha Heron.

I played pickup with a few kids who go to Sacred Heart tonight and they said Mustapha is slowly getting on the UConn train. Take that with a grain of salt though.

I could guess, but please define wordmark for me.

Not entirely sure how to define it, but this is the wordmark:

http://brand.uconn.edu/standards/wordmark-and-logos/

And here's where UConn makes the clarification: http://brand.uconn.edu/standards/fonts/

Outside of these minor restrictions, simply utilize discretion when choosing fonts that complement the UConn brand. Please note that when used in cases other than the wordmark, the word UConn should simply be written as ‘UConn’ not ‘UCONN’.

 

[CAHUSKY]

I use UCONN every time I reference my alma mater. Shoot me.

 

[B1GEast]

One of the insiders here who I believe is supposed to have a connection with someone on the staff has given an, albeit cryptic, indication that it isn't looking very good with King. Sources can be wrong and things can change but he is apparently Louisville's to lose right now. I imagine a lot can change if we get him on campus though.

On the Ville premium site, their writer indicated that there was no clear leader after his visit and that it's still very early in the process for king to have a leader.

Some people claim to have insider info, but their writer didn't seem to know where he stood, which is it?

Long story made short ...

"UConn" is how the university's style guide directs you to refer to the university in print.

The word mark is a graphical logo meant for bumper stickers, football helmets and the onesies that you buy your newborn nieces and nephews because you're lazy and unimaginative in your gift-giving......

Thank you. UCONN just looks ridiculous. It's either UConn or Uconn.

Uconn looks just as bad as UCONN in my eyes. 'Conn' stands for Connecticut, so the 'c' needs to be capitalized. UConn.
