    TJ Power entering the Portal

    Some of you are lunatics. This kid was a top 25 recruit before he fell in a hole at Doogie Howser’s basketball camp in Durham. You absolutely take a look at him if he wants to come here - he’s good. Plus, he’s a lefty (baseball only) with a 90 mph fast ball. We can loan him to Hook C out of...

    What is the best individual, single-game performance in UConn history?

    1) Caron in 2002 against Maryland. We win the national title if we get anything out of Ben in that game. 1A) Rashamel Jones, 1998 Big East Championship game. Rip goes 3-11. K goes 4-16. Kevin Freeman gets injured after 15 minutes and does not score a point. We’re down nine in the second half...

    AJ Storr to Kansas

    Bill Self does not know how to build a roster. e.g. Kansas basketball 2023-24

    It’s simple ignorance. And yes.

    One notch I want for UConn

    We’re at almost two decades with the conference opener being a source of pure terror. I think we’ve lost 15 of 18? In 18 years, we have won more national championships than conference openers. That is….off the wall.

    OT: Best Pizza in CT

    My brother went to Sally’s this weekend and said it was still outstanding.

    Yarin Hasson

    He’s in the portal. The thing you have to understand is that he got an open scholarship here as a one year deal. Why? I don’t know - he can’t play at all.

    Reality vs fear

    If you are not worried about the future for schools that have been left out of the power structure running the game, I do not know what to tell you.

    Anybody getting a celebratory UConn tattoo?

    He’s totally getting a tramp stamp.

    One notch I want for UConn

    Maybe winning our conference opener one of these years should be a long term goal.

    One notch I want for UConn

    I had us ranked #1 for the entire season so we can check that one off now.

    One notch I want for UConn

    I would like #7 to be against whoever because Duke lost in the first round to St. Ignatius School of Mines. We already beat Duke in a title game. No need to do it again.

    Cruises and your experience

    You’re going to have fun - impossible not to. I also think it’s the best way to see Bermuda; you can be off during the day, but have breakfast and dinner on the ship. God love the Bermudans, but they learned to cook from the British and it shows. Only caveat is that the seas have the...

    One notch I want for UConn

    I could give less of a crap about Kansas. Give us Castle this year or Kirk King and Ricky in the 90s and we’re 2-2. I really do not care. I want to win 32 national championships. You can have Kansas.

    Cruises and your experience

    Very late to this…you’ll have fun. It’s a good way to visit Bermuda. The weather is still pretty decent at that time of year and the water is still in the low 70s. My brother actually took this very cruise last month, but the weather was bad and they were unable to get to Bermuda so it was it...

    Swimming

    I swam competitively for almost 20 years. My daughter is 19 and is about 12 years into her career. It’s awesome. Stop being a candy ass and get in the pool

    Carrying this over from another thread on the basketball page, youth sports and soccer

    I had a long response mostly typed up and then this tire fire of a site flaked and lost it. Will redo it again later

    Jeremy Roach Entered Portal

    I agree. He’s lost his top four scorers and he’s going to try to build around two one and dones…teams are just going to dare them to try to beat them from outside. I am impressed how little Scheyer seems to have learned.

    Jeremy Roach Entered Portal

    He’s a good addition for someone. Big loss for Duke. The younger that team gets, the worse it is for Scheyer.

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

    Much more social than people think. You’re in lanes with folk and you’re chatting after sets. During meets, you’re racing for maybe ten minutes total and socializing the rest of the time. My daughter has life long friends that I struggle to recognize if they’re not wearing a swim cap and...

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

    Define serious money. I have extended family who have their kids in sports and they’re traveling out of state every month. I have been to games and watched their kids play and I think they are being sold a bill of goods by their coaches. The expectation of which colleges are going to come...

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

    I am sure that being a low major recruit decades ago in women’s basketball has made them experts in recruiting. They probably wrote letters for their sons and then mailed those with a floppy disk of their sons’ highlights, the way they did back in 1996.

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

    Remember - he left after his junior year. He had some really basic deficiencies as a point guard that were less obvious in college than they were in the NBA. He was very small and he really struggled to get the ball inside against big NBA defenders…and they’re all big. Could not see over them...

    OT: Luke's Dad's best movie

    Moonrise Kingdom. All the Wes Anderson's are good - Rushmore, especially. Groundhog Day, Lost in Translation, Ghostbusters, all good.

    2024 Recruiting: Tarris Reed Jr.

    Reed is a perfect compliment to Samson. Samson's going to have games where he picks up six fouls in the first 30 seconds; Reed's very good at staying on the court. If we gotta sit SJ because of foul trouble, Reed will be fine - no DQs last year and plenty of games of 25-30 mins.

    Big East roster moves

    DePaul has to get to the stage where they are not historically awful. They need a year or two of not being the worst program on earth and then they can start a rebuild. They need to think 5-7 years. Villanova is on fire - they need to be looking for a coach before this gets further out of hand.

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

    Honestly, if he doesn’t roll an ankle against Utah State, that tournament had cracked wide open for UConn. With Khalid, we beat Tennessee easily. After that, it’s 8-seed UNC in the sweet 16 and 7-seed Tulsa in the elite eight.

    2024 Recruiting: Jordan Derkack (Merrimack Transfer)

    Yeah, that’s not true lol. The number of times you’ll see it in New England is roughly zero. The number of times you will see it from a southerner is roughly all the time. You’ll see another solar eclipse before you see RU in the Elite Eight.

    2024 Recruiting: Liam McNeeley

    Well, no, not really. He came in and was our second scoring option behind Rip and the secondary ball handler next to Ricky. Khalid was great, but he stepped into an amazing situation. Biggest what-if with Khalid…what if he had stuck around for one more year and got to pair with Caron for a season?
