    2024 Recruiting: Riley Kugel top 4

    I live down here, UF has a machine gun culture they just recruit a ton of guys with no thought of culture or recruiting over. This guy was thought to be a lotto pick after this season but they took Clayton and pullin and his role diminshed. Def interested, he was very good as frosh. As always...

    2024 Recruiting: Jordan Derkack (Merrimack Transfer)

    Yeah makes sense. would have to come as bench guy and likely not want to do that.

    2024 Recruiting: Jordan Derkack (Merrimack Transfer)

    What happened w Gavin Griffiths at Buttgers? Poor #s but I know they were awful offensively. Rumblings he’s going into portal. Would we want him (assume so) or is bloom off rose?

    The transfer portal opens today

    Watched them a few times since we knew one of the player’s families well. Not interested this early for sure. Just didn’t have any impact the times I watched.

    The transfer portal opens today

    Another example of why we win a lot. Majority of kids (mostly not their fault), handlers and coaches aren’t focused on culture, building from within & right things but rather quick fixes. Unreal the amounts of money spent at Arkansas the past two years, Miami, etc to not win much. Villanova...

    How would you approach the final 2 regular season games?

    Agree. Stewart to me is so important to play - he seems to play better like most w extended mins, where he always misses his first shot no matter how open it is and that’s usually it for PT. He has such a diverse game offensively and rebounds well, can really help us.

    Hurley on SportsCenter

    Always love the culture stuff like ‘group of like-minded individuals pursuing a goal‘. But what jumped out was the snippet at the end re: last January’s swoon & how it made them less fearful of losing going forward. Underrated aspect to me is that lack of fear they have. They learned from...

    Upset Alert - Down Goes Perdue (merged)

    The teams that can’t score don’t really concern me, teams like UNC that can score Are the ones that do. Don’t believe we would stay down for 40 mins in 50s or low 60s. I was not a fan of trying to win 62-59 which Hurley liked just a few years back (huge credit to him for changing!) Those kind...

    Upset Alert - Down Goes Perdue (merged)

    Are we locked into UNC as long as they are a 2? I hope not but every bracket I see has them with us. Do 2s stay in their home region? What if they are top team on 2 line and were top on 1 line? Seems crazy.

    Ohio State Coach Fired

    The way McDermott has failed to replenish the roster makes me think this is his last rodeo. I gusss they hit the portal but they lose almost everyone and it’s not like they have Clingan or Karaban back to fill in the gaps. Any clue if we’d be interested in Chatman? Does he play much?

    How r we feeling here those who follow recruiting? I saw he didn’t list us a few times in articles.

    Dickey Simkins on the call!

    He gave some terrific insights from his discussions with coaches. Come a long way. Really enjoyed the call, wasn’t about him like some others.

    Rashad Anderson to Huskies of Honor this weekend

    Let’s go Ben! My favorite Husky of all time. Hoping the best for him. Agree with others, Rashad was an assassin, never any fear, he hit a ton of daggers in huge spots. I’ve been begging my youngest son to do a paper on him since he always has to do stuff on Florida legends (where we live). I...

    Why didn't UConn recruit Xavier's Desmond Claude?

    I remember quite vividly some details of Sanogo/Cliff recruitment - as I was super concerned about finding a big after we seemed to put a lot of eggs in Kofi basket the year before and whiffed at the secondary guys. (Wahab, maybe Iglehorn?) Cliff def committed before Sanogo was reclassified...

    UConn to Honor 2004 National Champions on January 28

    My favorite team in any sport ever. Bigs for days and Ben was my dude. Only Husky jersey (not a jersey guy) I ever bought. Dominant every game except the Dook game. Assist to Luol Deng for the quick shot up when Dook was up llate . I keep trying to get my kid to do a paper for school on Rashad...

    Week of 11/20 Other Games

    I don’t follow recruiting closely but he didn’t seem to be even remotely interested in us or am I misremembering? Bizarre choice in TN like a few have said.

    Jeff Adrien items on EBAY

    Is it me or is this possibly really really sad? Like his cherished items for $100 bucks a pop. Hope he’s doing well - he was always a warrior out there, he wasn’t afraid in that unnamed game we lost to end his freshman year.

    The Almanac 2023

    I mentioned in the other thread I had never heard of this Twitter account until that thread & purchased the almanac & couldn’t be more impressed. Highly recommend. I agree they think our bench will be significant drop off. They talk a bit about Clingan’s passing acumen (I kind of forget about...

    2024 Recruiting: Tyler Betsey down to 7 schools

    It's kinda f'in unbelievable a Ct. kid like Betsey would pass on our amazing staff & culture for the garbage program Cincy is and a morally bankrupt program like Alabama that basically pooh-poohed accessories to murder, but we all know adults around recruits rarely have the best interest of a...

    2024 Recruiting: Ahmad Nowell committed to UConn!

    Feels like someday we’ll be including Pettiford in the same breathe as former targets like Durand Scott (Kemba’s 5-star backcourt mate we wanted), Brandon Jennings, Corey Joseph et al as guys we really wanted but thankful they went elsewhere. Wanted Pettiford bad and then u got the Hurley &...

    2024 Recruiting: VJ Edgecombe receives offer from UConn

    If Abraham is about done to us, this is prob a non-story right, or would be in addition to? Obv recruiting things change I’m just not aware how many we likely take since last year was so big. Figure pg, wing, big. Don’t follow it like I used to at all.

    I know nothing about K State other than Tang, Nowell, and Keyontae. Is this a good fit for Kaluma? My middle son loves them as his non UConn team - thank God we didn’t meet them for that reason. We Saw all their tournament games / they lose their two main scorers so a lot of shots available...
