    Spring Ball is here… Welcome to the New Age!

    John Sarianides was a solid HS coach in greater Boston - Norwood HS. Maybe a few others. Don't know about the other 2. This basic website plus some podcasting allows them some air time on Patriots and then they rome into BC; UNH, URI, UMASS and maybe the next level of college football...

    Andre's farewell message to Akok and Corey

    It is clearly a tiff - an intrateam strife. Guys unhappy are free to go and seek their fortune; not buying the "culture" creating and hugging. I guess I would rather leave it there. One player could be residual fallout from injury; one lost confidence and didn't produce. One ... who knows...

    Andre's farewell message to Akok and Corey

    His work ethic & team comraderies should be unquestioned based on what we all could see. What should be on all our brain was internal strife from the Bench to the minutes guys. This is gonna be the new dynamic at many top programs. We have to get better as a program; Hurley has to get far...

    Newton Commits- It's on ESPN

    I think we have our brain around the psyche of last year's bench. WE (collectively DH and much of our fanbase) watched better players on the court and we won games. Lost some toughies. Had no easy games (SEE AAC). But we had guys sitting on that bench grinding their teeth ... and reading...

    Newton Commits- It's on ESPN

    Tom Moore. Luke Murray. Kimani Young. We - UCONN - are extraordinarily strong in teaching-networking-connnected-knowledgeable assistant: perhaps the best in our Conference. They just are. Both complementary in on court skillsets to teach and regional national resources. We are in a good...

    Nice job building the culture Danny

    Anemic? ok ... i am running away from you all because most of you couldn't manage the local gas pumps.

    Nice job building the culture Danny

    Exactly This undercurrent of parents and entourage types. Floyd has promise. And could have easily filled a Adams type role in 2022-2023 and who knows - given the Big East, it would be top competition. Should be an interesting few weeks coming.

    Nice job building the culture Danny

    You all can drop off now. Road mostly for free through Jim Calhoun's HOF rising. Do you think Jim was easy? Gave hugs and bon bons. Bob Hurley HOF ride? I am gonna say RJ felt Danny has a lot of his Dad in his behavior - practice and on court presence. You all are welcome to jump and throw...

    Spring Ball is here… Welcome to the New Age!

    are you afraid of competition? Bring in a handful of guys from different backgrounds and talents and you see one elevate. Krajewski has an advantage coming from the current team and knowing his way around; Roberson has a solid arm and a NJ reputation that makes a good story; Phommachanh has...

    Watching the Boston College Spring Game ...

    ... and remembering what I liked about PAST UCONN Spring games and why they seem odd/stupid. First, a 339 lb OL named Christian Mahagony scored on a series of Refrigerator plays at the goal line. Then to take the absurdity exponentially beyond, this kid from Paramus Catholic in NJ started a...

    Spring Ball is here… Welcome to the New Age!

    I spent today thinking about this guy whilst touring a 19 property portfolio we are trying to buy. My base thought is some people just are not mentally/emotionally constituted to try anything very complex. Occasionally we get into these tiffs with one guy or the other one ... relative side...

    Spring Ball is here… Welcome to the New Age!

    Honestly. If your morning agenda is to come on the Boneyard Football thread and just piss on the handful of guys that want to grab some positive feel for some hope for wins next fall, I'm gonna say: "you're a pretty sick guy ... Troll". Tell you what, come follow me tomorrow at Memorial...

    OT: Steve Lavin to San Diego

    totally disagree. And to LEAP beyond your view of the world: my thought is Lavin has zero ability to relate to modern ballplayers to get them to play to a winning structure. I always think strategy wise - he is Captain Obvious. And when I see someone like Tony Stubblefield give instructions...

    The next dominoes (March 28 edition)

    The Big Movers are the SUNY schools. Governor Kathy Hochul announced that both Buffalo and Stony Brook was going to get massive new capital flow as Flagship schools of the State. I don't see the Buffalo move from the MAC - not in the near term as it doesn't really do much for them; but Stony...

    We can expect Ric S to dive in an get the answers we are curious about Let's start here on 4/6. I would like to see an update article on the guys who got hurt and missed some time or prospects that didn't play until late in our Fall 2021 schedule. Cameron Ross. Matt Drayton, T Phommachanh...

    Mickey Grace (Needs It's Own Thread)

    the truth is ... for anyone entering a position for an industry (any) at an age before 30, you should be prepared to play / learn both sides of the field/business. Just do it. A long time ago, I got hired or a training program at GE and they sent me to be an Auditor. As anyone with...

    Men #25 UConn @ Kent State Golden Flashes (Fri. 4/1/22 @3p, Sat. 4/2/22 @1p & Sun. 4/3/22 @ 1p). Games streamed on KSU BoxCast and UConn Audio on Mixlr.

    UCSD and Kent seemed similar to me - of course, both had me glancing at the real Live Stats batter to batter. Kent didn't seem to overwhelm us with great pitching far deep onto their staff. (UCSD did) Kent had a bunch of gritty batters 1 through 9 and we didn't get the outs we needed; then...

    LaVall Jordan Fired From Butler

    ok ... I'm confused: who is UI? freescooter and nelsonmuntz repeatedly show they have no real credible takes on anything past the first left turn on the access road near their house. Like me, they both could use an Editor. I think the Thad Motta experience as HC of the Ohio State Buckeyes...

    Jim Mora - baseball fan

    First of all, this won't be big enough to have much impact on the politics. Given land costs & wildly volatile cost of wood plus other key construction line items; then the Bank environment is going to require your For Sale attached product to be predominantly sold by loan closing; and a...

    Butler hires Thad Matta

    My view of Dan Hurley of Jersey City is that this is the Big East Conference he wants. He wants full arenas and passion. Tough road games. Georgetown being 1985 Hoyas. I would rather just stomp other conferences BS. Recruit and develop. Let part of college basketball be a cesspool. You...

    Jim Mora - baseball fan

    He is living in the former UCONN President house. Last occupant - I think - was Herbst. He has 10 minute walk to most things. Storrs Center. Geno probably gives him credit. On any given week, we have 7 sports of good quality he can watch. Plus his job. I have thought, for awhile, that there...

    Spring Ball is here… Welcome to the New Age!

    Before you burn brain cells on the #retroEdsallanger - let's consider the Away game early one year where Paul Pasqualoni gave QB1 to Johnny McEntee. I know its early April; but, I am loving the stories of Krajewski & Roberson & Phommachanh & (even) Southington walkon. Cale Millen coming in...

    That was basically awful

    is this Group think? Do you have any objection to me saying that Polley & Whaley since Ollie left have improved dramatically and found roles that enhance UCONN play? In their last year at our University, both Martin & Cole played better than the previous year? Sanogo played far better. Andre...

    Jim Mora’s new staff coming together…

    I LOVE her story. Basketball has several comparable stories today. I also think more expansively about Mora as he seems to leap into new ideas easily.

    The link says "CONTENT IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO SUBSCRIBERS" Good. There is nothing Greg Doyel writes that I would pay a cent for.

    That was basically awful

    Disagree You cannot look at a first round loss - the way it happened - and get to this take. I agree with much of what Fishy's take was. But, you just painted it into black and white. When on November One, we knew that answer was probably NOT a 2022 National Championship. It is grey. WE...

    LaVall Jordan Fired From Butler

    The day after Shaheen Holloway - beloved Seton Hall icon/alum - takes a "dream" job; Butler fires Jordan in a somewhat controversial way. On the day of his decrease in buyout. This has aspects of the Kevin Ollie trips around the sun. (let's not turn that into 4 more pages on this thread)...

    If you were a Point Guard why would you want to play in Hurley's offense?

    This is the moment I say ... trust Luke Murray, Tom Moore, Kimani Young and a lifetime of relationships. They sure look good sitting on the bench during games; but, this is their primary value. They have an idea on who is possible and we are well on our way to 2-3 new players. YOUR Lists...

    Floyd, Karaban, Clingan

    I think you can wrap the Gaffney, Diggins, SamsonJohnson, Springs, Floyd, Akok, Karaban, Clingan issue all in that one phrase; Confidence. Who knows who shows up with swagger and work ethic. YES. We can see a kid regress if he has a tough few outings and a quick hook. Someone has to rise...

    Men #25 UConn v. URI Rams (Friday 3/25/22 @3p @Elliot Ballpark, Saturday 3/26/22 @1p @Bill Beck Field & Sunday 3/27/22 @1p @Elliot Ballpark).

    With a name like Andrade ... I am thinking he is related to PGA golfer Billy Andrade. No easily found link in a quick google; however I had to laugh at this in Billy's wiki ... "Unusual for a professional golfer, he is also a Democrat." Huh. Why would that be in wikipedia?
