That is one VERY valuable statement. Love this guy.

Would love to read some stories of him spending time on campus this summer.
RB would be a prototype Hurley competitor

There is something about this tweet by Boatright that resonates with me. It has some depth to it.

Boat is my favorite Husky of all time. Even moreso now.

He deserves to have his jersey hung at Gampel

My father, who has ninja-level misnaming skills, calls him “Brightboat.” So now my brothers and I do, too.

Love him.

Retire that mans jersey. 4 year kid, got better every year. Won a national championship. Represented university well. Maximized his abilities by working hard and playing his ass off. Not to mention he stuck w program after getting banned from tournament for something he had no part of.

I'm still waiting for the first person to slip up and call Bouknight Boatright.

I'm still waiting for the first person to slip up and call Bouknight Boatright.

I remember when I first saw a thread saying he was target thinking “Geesh people still can’t spell Boatrigt?!”

He's going to have to start playing better and especially harder to earn the right to be mistaken for Boat in any way shape or form.

Hang the jersey

Chief got to know the Boatshow family and he comes from a great family. What the NCAA put his mom through was truly despicable. Chief’s mom taught Chief to grow up not to hate but I told her God made an exception to hate Mark Emmert.

What a great guard for UConn. He and Bazz worked our opponents into the ground. His defense in the NC was one of best we’ve ever seen - as noted by JC. He has great basketball IQ, worked so hard here and had a shooters touch. Unfortunately for him he’s gone a crossed @nelsonmuntz with his endorsement of Hurley. Hope Boat can survive this public embarrassment.

He and Bazz in that National Championship game........I’m drifting off..........

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

It started with that NCAA tourney Michigan state game at MSG that I thought we had no chance of winning and then carried all the way to the championship game. The defense by Boatright and Napier was insane.

Boat was amazing during the run for the NC, defense was as good as Ricky Moores or better. And he had a wonderful career no doubt a true and great Husky. But there will be plenty of "Great Huskies" who won't get their jersey hung up there and unfortunately he's one of quite a few who aren't quite the Rays, Rips, Emekas, Kembas etc etc....

It's lucky we have so many. Waiting for the next one to make their run?

Let's not get carried away here, mau. Boat's D was phenomenal in the NC run, but that was mostly because it was part of a truly magical collaboration with Bazz. The two of them combined to make it more than uncomfortable for the opposing back court. But for my money, neither by himself was the defensive equivalent of Ricky.

Wilbekin, Hill, the Harrison twins and others would tell you otherwise. Maybe not quite but if not damn close. They were afraid to put the ball on the floor, forgot to mention the poor kid off the bench for Michigan State. It was a thing of beauty the way he treated those guards. Love Ricky too so 2 of the best we've ever seen on that end of the floor.

Nice to get that support from the alums. Boat's a no BS warrior too, so the former statement gets a little more weight.

Rich, I have to disagree with you here. Boatright's defense was unbelievable in the tournament run. He took the other team's guards completely out of their games. quite fitting that he wound up with the ball in his hands at the end of the game.

Teams couldn't run their stuff with all the guard pressure. It was a blast, if you are a UConn fan. They owned the Harrison brothers in particular.

Man, that was a great season.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Do you have to make the nba to be a husky of honor? He should be an exception.

Hope he talks to the team soon.

 

[superjohn]

One of the most awkward moments ever. That could've gone the other way, Boat really showed incredible maturity.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Boatright was 16-16 from the free throw line during UConn's run from Sweet 16 through the National Championship game vs. Kentucky (13-14 season).

Damn...
