still no LOI's

[raf46]

day two of the signing period and we are still shooing blanks. Been a Mens seasons tix holder since 1981. Have never been more concerned over the mens program than I am now. Still not a whiff from the P5 to come play with them.

News flash: the program doesn't operate on your whim.

I don't care if you've been a season ticket holder since the J. Wilder Tasker era, that kind of entitlement is ridiculous

Well this post is a breath of fresh air

I told you the other day that just because the letter signing season has begun doesn't mean people will immediately sign LOIs. We don't even have people verbally committed who would be expected to do that.

Some kids are visiting this weekend. Do you expect them to commit before they visit?

What are you talking about?

UConn is not recruiting any second semester seniors.

Juniors are not eligible to sign LOIs.

Transfers don't sign LOIs.

Who are you thinking about?

 

[Gurleyman]

Yes - because when the signing period starts, you expect LOIs to start flowing in, regardless of whether you have commitments. Kids just start signing all willy nilly ("whoa - signing period already? Quick, hand me one of those LOIs over there before I forget.")

He expects KO to press a button on the computer in the physics department and send out mind-control waves to all of the top remaining recruits.

They wouldn't be eligible to sign anyway. If PG Gilbert loves UConn so much that he decides to tattoo UConn on his forehead, he still can't sign a LOI.

Are we even recruiting any of them?

Nope. But I don't think this guy (or others of his ilk) give a hoot.

REALLY?!?!?! Compared to 2 years ago? How soon you forget.

It's also like the Perno years never existed.

 

[CallMeBruce]

It's also like the Perno years never existed.

I mean, I guess I can see not being concerned when the team seems guaranteed to be an eternal mediocrity.

 

[UCbcm]

A lot of players don't even sign LOI's anymore. For the player, theres no benefit in signing one and there's no disadvantage in not signing one. The trend is moving in the direction of strong verbals and no LOI.

Regardless, verbals come before a signed LOI almost always. I can't think of a time when a player sent a signed LOI without first verbally committing.

And they never did catch that anthrax guy!!!

each day you manage to post something more dumber than the last day

 

[Rocktheworld]

Oh yay, another ill-informed (next year we play UMD, Georgetown, OSU, Texas, and are in the Battle 4 Atlantis field that includes Cuse, Gonzaga, Texas, TA&M, and Michigan; and in 2016 we are in the Maui Invitational) sky-is-falling post regarding recruiting by some old guy.

Seems like some young guys can be pretty obnoxious.

I forgot what year the high school kid was.

Just sometimes

Yeah, well, remember the guy's age has zero to do with his point of view. Peace and love brother, as we used to say in the 60s. Go Huskies.

 

[Walker11]

Age arguments, classic. It's like some don't realize we get old, if we're lucky. On another note, what the hell is the OP even talking about. Is he confused about Adams and Enoch? Does he think 16 guys are signing LOI's already? No clue.

 

[tcf15]

I had this guy on ignore, but it seems like I'm missing all the fun.

 

[James]

OP seems genuinely confused so I wont bash. Just an absurd premise to start a thread with, the lowest point in the programs history? cmon

 

[UConnSwag11]

I think him and some other accounts are troll accounts from other fans and they know the hot buttons here. They get their kicks at seeing us get all pissed off
