    Boneyard

    I think most honest UConn fans would have no problems with UConn not being on the list, depending on how heavily the author weighs conference. However, I'd argue most also think Cuse at 8 is high, esp in relation to Texas. Honestly, it doesn't matter until you have a coaching change anyway...

    Boneyard

    You have seen both play full games in person in college? I've seen both in high school (and Larrier in college). They were compatible talents in highs school based on their junior years. Now Moyer could develop at a faster pace, grow, etc. but as of the summer between their junior and senior...

    Boneyard

    Rankings are nice but in the end every kid you mentioned is just an unproven high schooler. Napier was barely top 75, Emeka was like 100, Brimah near 250. It's a crap shoot, in many ways. That said, Enoch is a top 60-75 recruit on three of the four recruiting sites, ESPN doesn't rank him...

    Class of 2016 PG Alterique Gilbert (GA) Verballed to UConn

    That's an interesting standard. The reason I say that is because while he didn't recruit Lamb or Napier, he was an assistant, or head coach the entirety of their careers at UConn. How is that not 100% involved in their careers? What does recruiting them in high school have to do with his...

    Syracuse -Uconn working on home/home series

    I dont disagree, UConn football needs to get better and there is no way they should have gotten an auto bid in a competitive conference that year or any year.

    Syracuse -Uconn working on home/home series

    Err, not saying UConn was great, good, decent, bad, or horrible that year and there is a good argument the BE did not deserve a bid that year, but I'm not sure how that is "singlehandedly" on UConn. Every team in the BE is at fault for not being better than UConn was that year. If UConn was...

    Yep, UConn can never schedule a decent team at home. Uconn football sucks currently(no sarcasm).

    Kevin Ollie to OKC? Topic on PTI

    Well if UConn is just going to be losing a mediocre coach then it's not a big worry if it happens.

    Kevin Ollie to OKC? Topic on PTI

    Don't be knocking the CAA, my undergrad school resides there... Yes, if Ollie ever leaves for Okie State that would be a bad sign...this however is about him leaving for the OKC Thunder. I doubt Calhoun would come back or that Geno would switch over. The list of candidates would probably...

    Kevin Ollie to OKC? Topic on PTI

    Should talk to some UNC fans around now, or NCSt fans about UNC, or UKUL fans about Calipari or PSU fans about their past situation, or Cuse fans about your current issues. All fanbases suffer their own special delusions.

    No UConn or Pitt in tourney

    I see what you are saying and you may not be wrong on some of it but you are, I believe, either forgetting the consensus when KO took over and when the BE split or misunderstanding my point. The general consensus here was that Kevin Ollie was a 50/50 shot at being even a decent coach, and would...

    No UConn or Pitt in tourney

    I feel there is too much misplaced hate amongst fans of the same program. As such, I'm posting for the first time in about a year and a half. Bring it, feel better, band together against a UConn fan. For all this back and forth the fact is this, if UConn gets into a tournament and Ollie is...

    UConn Beat Writer Says UConn Looking to Schedule SU

    Ummm, fans were maybe a fraction of a percent of the reason UConn is in the AAC. ACC: Football, football, football. FSU and Clemson May or may not have lead the charge based on UConns lack of football draw but you can bet BC was an easy no vote off the bat. BC was the main reason UConn was...

    UConn Beat Writer Says UConn Looking to Schedule SU

    Wasn't putting the freak solely on others, def a lot of UConn fans included but other fans participating has def added to it and kept it around, or at least helped keep it around. I really don't care about UConn education jokes, true or not. I just thought it was funny based on the rest of...

    UConn Beat Writer Says UConn Looking to Schedule SU

    Sure then you admit you were wrong about a fact and attacked UConns education without basis (at least for the post correcting you). My guess/analysis would be that UConn basketball relies solely on how good a coach Ollie is. He has shown well in his first year and done a respectable job on...

    UConn Beat Writer Says UConn Looking to Schedule SU

    And I said any of that where in what you were quoting? And when one can't admit they made a mistake, change the subject. Lol EDIT: to answer your question, sure possibly, I'm sure at least some are. Or maybe use some critical thinking and discover for yourself why UConn fans would want to...

    UConn Beat Writer Says UConn Looking to Schedule SU

    I wasn't trash talking SU. Just your post. Lol, it is quite funny when people just can't admit they made a mistake. But if you want to talk about seasons where Ollie was involved then it's 27-27 and a national championship. Cherrypick some more though. It's quite amusing.

    Well, considering the past few years, fine is relative. I think 2-2 would be fine right now. Lol Iowa St. would be an interesting case study here.

    UConn Beat Writer Says UConn Looking to Schedule SU

    See, this is funny because you called out a UConn education, but have the basic facts wrong. Ollie has been coach for 1 season. 10-8 would be accurate.

    Uconn recruiting...uh oh

    Fair enough, can't argue with a gut feeling. It's a long haul to the end of this recruiting phase. I don't think anyone would argue that 2013 class was great, though its still debatable if that's due to aforementioned sanctions or the start of a trend. This is something that will be hard to...

    Uconn recruiting...uh oh

    I don't disagree or agree that it has fallen off, bc recruiting is far from done for this year. However, UConn was in: Perkins top 4 Larriers top 2 Abus top 4 Whites top 5 Sniders top 5 Chatman a top 8 Oubres top 8 Vaughn's top 11 McLaughlins top 8? 5? Robinsons top 5 Lyles new top 4 Etc...

    Uconn recruiting...uh oh

    I wasn't talking about recruits at all, though most do include transfers in whatever class they are eligible to play in. Btw transfers usually don't lose a year of eligibility when sitting. MileG and Purvis should both have three years to play

    I have no qualms saying the full quote anywhere. You weren't discussing the Cuse zone here and I try not to take part in threads here that don't have anything to do with UConn. I also try not to be a jerk on another fan bases board. For that matter, I try not to take threads on tangents. I...

    Basically the same team as last year as starters PG - Napier SG - Boatright SF - Calhoun PF - Daniels C - Nolan Bench: SG/SF - Kromah SF/PF - Giffey C - Brimah PG/SG - Samuel SF/PF - Tolksdorf ??? Olander/Facey RS - Purvis A lot depends on how much Nolan has improved, if Facey can play and...

    Uconn left standing when the music stopped

    It isn't ideal but its also workable. OOC can cover a lot, relative to most conferences outside the ACC and B1G in basketball. The grind from those two conferences will be hard to match. A lot will come down to Ollie. I know how much of an advantage ACC teams will have bc of money but I'd bet...

    Uconn left standing when the music stopped

    Football/Academics: He did say that UConn was very young in the sport that counts (football). I agree that he should have added academically young also, with the caveat that the academics seems to be continually improving, whereas football has plateaued the past two years. UConn needs to...

    Our APR multi-year score was 933

    The 925 score was based on the old penalty system and is basically meaningless now, or will be in the near future, in regards to postseason ban. Keeping with your UCONN example, under the old penalty system UCONN would have only lost a scholarship or two, but would have been eligible for...

    any word on UConn's draw in the

    First, were you trying to emphasize that he was at Duke, or can you just not read where I asked how he did at Duke? Never seen the floor, so, just like Michael Gbinjie. Michael Gbinjie: Belmont: 1 minute Presbyterian: 14 minutes Mich St.: DNP Davidson: 2 minutes Tennessee: DNP Michigan DNP...

    any word on UConn's draw in the

    Great slam, Michael Gbingie. I swear some people don't think before they try and slam others. Purvis played 25+ minutes a game and put up 10 points per game, how did Gbingie do at Duke? I happen to think both are good players who were in less than ideal situations based on their skill sets...

    Is Syracuse A Destination Job?

    These may not be "after forever" but these are the HOF coaches who have retired since Dean Smith and their replacements: Lute Olson: 1983-2003 -> replaced by assistant the eventually replaced by outside person whose name always comes up when a vacancy happens elsewhere John Chaney: 1982-2006...

    Ennis in Jordan Brand Classic

    I would put Facey and Roberson in the same category. Both appear to be 3-4 year players. The forwards in the national game all could be 1-2 year players at this stage. Roberson and Facey are completely different players. Facey is a more traditional PF or maybe a college center and Roberson is...

    Ennis in Jordan Brand Classic

    As an outsider (UConn fan) Ennis was very good. I've seen Ennis a few times now and this game just solidified my opinion of him. He will be an upgrade offensively over MCW because he has a nice shot especially from mod range. He also can throw the spectacular pass but usually throws the right...

    Class of 2014 C Paschal Chukwu (CT) Verballed to Syracuse

    I haven't seen him play anyone close to his size. He is quite tall. The tallest player I have seen him play against was 6'5 - 6'7 maybe and not very good (not a D1 talent, IMO). This is not to say he hasn't played anyone taller, just that I haven't seen it. He is fairly aggressive...

    Class of 2014 C Paschal Chukwu (CT) Verballed to Syracuse

    Just some observations from someone who has seen him for a few years. He was extremely raw as a freshman and sophomore but has made major strides in the past year or so. He has decent touch and is looking more fluid by the day. He is tall but skinny. He reminds me of Thabeet as a freshman...

    POLL: Who's itching to get to the ACC?

    I don't disagree with the premise used by many that the defense is more physical in the BE. However, I don't think the points scored is a huge argument. The two highest scoring teams in the ACC are way above the highest in the BE. USF and Clemson are dreadful. Outside of those four teams...

    Southerland Clowning

    Southernland has a chance, I think the closest NBA player is James Jones. Second rounder likely, but I could see a contender taking a shot with Southerland as a corner three threat.

    Uconn Fans: Long

    I made sure to get a nice long shower and throw out the clothes. Funny thing is, I really should have known better after seeing Mexican fans throw piss at opposing fans in LA before, that time I wasn't wearing a US jersey and was pretty young, so I wasn't really harassed, but literally saw...

    Uconn Fans: Long

    I have to admit I talk crap about Cuse, I don't think the amount has changed since before the ACC stuff. It's a rivalry, so it's fun to tweak the opposing fans sometimes. I try to keep things factual though. There are a few reasons some might be taking it harder: 1 - There are a few Cuse...

    Similar stuff has happened to me at the dome, luckily I wasn't really alone as I had just left my friends a bit earlier when they stopped in the head. Idiots exist in all fanbases. I did report the incident though it ended with only a few bruises, and I will say the guys were Cuse fans but...
