    Javonte Brown starting tonight!

    I’m at Texas A&M-Vandy game he was just announced as starter. I never see him play. Just a heads up if anyone wants to watch him, i wish him well. Vandy has a 7-0 guy I guess that’s why. Go A&M - we mentored a player and got to see him today for a while.

    Generally, does timing of transfers matter? (Any advantage to end of 1st semester)

    Does it matter if players transfer before second semester? Like could guys play somewhere else second semester or is the transfer policy not that liberal yet? And if they can’t, is there any advantage to going at end of semester? Didn’t Javonte Brown Ferguson go after semester one last year or...

    Props to Gaffney...something to build off - no one given anything next year tho!

    He’s often playing scared but I thought he’s been one of the few guys that hasn’t shrunk when it mattered down stretch. Most of us can agree he’s talented - just miscast as a PG. should play off the ball. Hoping he can build off this and be a significant contributor next year. Regardless...

    Think we'll find out a lot about RJ Cole tonight

    One of the worst games he's likely ever played last time out and an epic all-time bad game for a Husky to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Everything we've read about him is super high character, leader, one of Bob Sr.'s favorite kids, etc. Rubber meets road here, is it meaningless...

    One of the biggest ?s re Big East haven't seen addressed

    We often focus on how good the Big East will be, and how even the worst teams are better than 1/2 the teams in the AAC (or more). One thing I haven't seen addressed is the officiating. Like many of you, I will ride with Coach Calhoun till I die. I have no ties to anywhere close to Connecticut...

    Culture: We better find an El-Amin!

    because our program has wilted at any signs of stress since Bazz & Boat moved on. I thought DHam took on KO’s personality of being a sad, no fight player when times got tough and he was our best player. Here we are years later and they still wilt under pressure. They make losing plays, bad...

    I'm passing through Storrs for first time in June ...Need Advice

    I'm going to be in Boston visiting some clients and then headed to a college graduation 2 hours south of Storrs. (**I have never been to Storrs**) 1) It will be in June. Will the bookstore even be open? 2) Is there anything else to see on campus that's cool or in the town (only really care...

    Playing Mexican Train Dominos...”the Boneyard”

    I’ve never played before, we are visiting my wife’s family and my mother in law keeps talking about ‘The Boneyard’... My wife & kids look at me like we just heard that too and I’m going bananas clutching onto the group of dominos that’s apparently Called the Boneyard. She keeps saying the...

    What are the biggest needs with these 3 'ships?

    I basically didn't miss a UConn game for like 20 years and watched almost zero last year, so I'm not really sure what our biggest needs are. Here are my presuppositions: 1) Adams is coming back and going to be a beast! 2) We have 1-2 guys who don't come back from current roster 3) Love him and...

    Those of u that follow football, how's it looking?

    I watched some of Saturday's game. Offense looked crisper than I remember, is that a fair assessment. Defense has looked bend but don't break in this game and Temple (playing way off, like crazy way off). I saw the final few plays and saw WRs get behind the UConn corners inexplicably. Was...

    Defense ? From a diehard hoops fan

    I've never lived in Ct so my interest in ffb program comes and goes and we all know it drives bus w realignment but the P and esp Diaco eras killed my interest. Watched for first time today and thought the corners were fine playing the ball but seems like the defense is in prevent a lot. Or at...

    Are we still recruiting Ayala from PSA?

    Haven't heard if he's reclassifying or anything or if we are still on him. Seems like a good fit as a combo guard esp. if 6'4-6'5.

    3 ships - How should they be used?

    So we added a dynamite recruiter in Coach Chill and we have a hungry KO so I think they will close strong like they did with Gibbs and Miller a few springs ago. Interested to hear thoughts on some names and how you would allot them as a lot of outstanding players are in play, from the areas...

    Glass Half Full Thoughts (From a Half-Empty Guy)

    First, the biggest news of the week is the Chillious hire, it trumps everything else. As someone who screamed from the mountaintops when we were signing Darius Smith and Jamaal Trice (maybe I coined the phrase staff shakeup needed - probably not) that we needed change, I have been clamoring...

    Juco National title link (on Now Sat night)

    What was rush accepting Cobb commitment?

    Honest question, not trolling. This is season jobs open left and right and we need another shooter desperately. In a perfect world, we would take a 5th year shooter and a big and have those ships for next year. Cobb fills a need as a big but would've much rather a Shonn Miler type that put up...

    Quick Mick Cronin encounter I had today

    i live in central Florida and we are good friends with a UCF player so we go to a lot of games. Today I caught Cronin coming out of the tunnel after their narrow loss to UCF. I made sure he heard me say Shabazz Napier WAS the real 2014 Player of the Year! He was walking towards interview and...

    Reeves, Duke and Co. Update?

    i don't follow recruiting the way I used to but obviously Reeves is a big fish and we r certainly looking for a 2. I think they tripped to PC this past weekend. Duke seemed like a guy that could reclassify? Any updates? Thanks!

    With offensive rules in place, can Edsall still succeed?

    I didn't follow as closely during his era but know UConn used to win a lot of close low-scoring games. I'm not questioning just asking, we have to get this hire right. I know he was wildly successful by UConn terms but wondering if he can do it again. Obviously he had Moorhead and Orlando so...

    I don't watch the football a lot. Is Diaco this bad?

    That timeout with clock stopped which leads to review and then run out of time? 3 straight times run previous drive when Shirrefs was red hot! it and clueless stuff. Really disappointed!!! it Big Ten conservative call on that second to last drive. Kids deserved to win...

    Varejao back to back crazy nice plays last night reminded me of Souleymane!!!

    Varejao had a great back to back series last night i think one was a drive and dish and the next one was a strong take and little hook/floater with a high degree of difficulty. Made me remember when Souley blocked Brand in the '99 Final and went down and made a hook shot on him back to back...

    2 scholarships open, anyone that we are looking at/or should be?

    I'm not a fan of banking scholarships, but obviously it's important to be mindful of team chemistry and not just add grad transfers or jucos for sake of adding. I have not followed the grad transfer market much since we haven't had much interest and I don't watch much college basketball (other...

    Dedric Lawson back at Memphis

    Withdrew from draft. I think they let go of his dad too. So Tubby may have called the old man's bluff. Don't follow it that closely if someone knows more. But Lawson is a beast and should be tremendous with a year of maturation next year.

    Are all three recruits on campus today?

    Would be great to land all of them or even 2/3. Kudos to staff for grinding and getting these visits so quickly.

    Who is Memphis looking at?

    i know their fans r doing cartwheels! I heard Gregg Marshall but I'd think that is a long shot (certainly possible though). Who else is under consideration?

    Villanova's OU drubbing and UConn

    I think the big takeaway for me is that Villanova seemingly got a layup or uncontested three for the entire 40 minutes. How they were able to do that was it seemed they had four guys that could get to the hoop and Ochefu could score when he got it down low, but for my purposes, I want to focus...

    Steve Pikiell coming to AAC (UCF)?

    Saw a tweet from Goodman he could be a favorite for UCF job. I became a Husky fan in the early 90s so I don't know much about him, how come he has never taken a job before after going to Stony Brook, as I feel like his name had been floated before but I could be mis-remembering? Can he coach...

    Why does DHam get way more leash Than JA/others?

    He is a great talent but gets blown by all the time, has more sloppy turnovers than any Husky I ever remember, yet he rarely sees the bench for all this lack of effort/boneheaded turnovers. I was at the UCF game and it seemed like the only positive plays they had all night were blow bys of DHam...

    OT: Can someone give me football game cliff notes?

    I have never lived in Connecticut so have never followed the FB team although I root for it since it helps our bball in CR. I know we have FB board but I couldn't name one player on the team. I wish they had hired an offensive-minded coach but I'm hopeful Diaco can right ship but Year 2 we...

    Ricky Moore have an impact here with 'Rique?

    I would love to hear he had a big impact here, does anyone know if this is the case? Alterique is a Ga. Kid and obviously Ricky is from Ga. Such a big change in recruiting momentum lately. So excited about the talent infusion. Really remarkable stuff!
