and rightfully so.

The Ville basketball team might never come back. Given that their violations occurred during probation and involved the HC, their penalties will be heavy and long-lasting. It will leave a stain on the program not to mention severe financial difficulties involving the YUM, on top of their existing 50 million dollar debt. Expulsion is a possibility. It is already being discussed in the media. Their corruption extends beyond sports.

Kentucky got caught literally overnighting $10k to a recruit. It came back.

Players name was Chris Mills and it was 1k.

- Bash Buddy and laugh at us for thinking he'll contribute at all
- Call Emmitt Williams an up and comer and severely underrated
- Call this new center "underrated and just what we need"

Buddy is rated about 20 spots lower than Williams and 200 spots ahead of that new center.

Also talking up Akinjo re: Peach Jam MVP but Buddy shot better than almost everyone at the Peach Jam. So it's impressive what Akinjo did but somehow what Buddy did is discounted?

Or, put another way, Syracuse's walk-ons are rated higher than UConn's scholarship players.

UConn loading up on guys with "good attitudes" and "work ethic."**


**Not rated highly by the recruiting services.

That new kid is ranked in the 300s -- big get for any mid major program. Congrats to UConn.

I agree. He could develop into quite a player by the time he transfers to a bigger program.

 

[OrangeDW]

Some of these fanbases, especially bitter ones with nothing going for themselves like UConn, are going to be absolutely livid when Buddy is a good college player. It’s going to be hilarious.

 

[OrangeDW]

I agree. He could develop into quite a player by the time he transfers to a bigger program.

If the kid works real hard, he could be UMass material in a couple years.

I just hope MsgSeven comes to the Blarney this December

And, not for nothing, he's a walk-on.

CCNY isn't even on the list.
UNLV not in the top 5?
NC State not listed?
Georgia Tech not listed?

Syracuse listed in front of schools that had point shaving scandals? Not enforcing a voluntary drug policy is worse than shaving points?

UCLA should be Sketchy Emeritus, for all the shennanigans that went on under Wooden's watch.
He wasn't just a great coach, he had the best bagmen in the industry then too.

The Syracuse "scandals" are total garbage. At least list the stuff we actually got dinged for, not the rumors that were never proven.
That's horrifically lazy writing.

But seriously - ZERO mention of UNC? Duke?
UNC only had dozens of athletes remain eligible via fake classes for decades. Not to mention buying players cars, etc.
Duke arranged for houses & jobs for player families, and that one guy somehow "bought" like $60k worth of jewelry on credit, then never paid for it, and that's ok?

Note to self - Bleeck Report is pure trash, never click.

I have a hunch that the age of the author narrowed his choices beyond what they should have been.
LIU Blackbirds anyone?

Based on Carey's commitment - UConn fans right now

 

[HOFCeluck]

Would've picked UConn but was afraid of Akinjo and that other guy.

Hey Mauconnfan...

To be fair, his response to this was measured and respectful.

Mau is a clown. Now, if Carey had called Ollie and said I want to go to UConn but you have too many guards, Ollie would have pulled the offers to two of his commits before the phone call was over. UConn has players leaving, coaches getting fired and in general, a mess. They play in a joke of a league. Oh, their state is in a financial mess. So much so that the woman's coach isn't taking his salary this year. Meanwhile, we are hitting it again. Bazley is a top 6 or 7 player. And if JB says that Hughes is a future NBA player, I am going to believe him.

 

[HOFCeluck]

UConn fans are being annoyingly classy right now.

Lol, and delusional. He is fuming right now.

I think the term is 'resigned to their fate'.

 

[Orangezoo]

Still plenty of posts how akinjo is their next great guard etc... referring to more 30 win seasons and championships.. but agree unusually classy.

 

[hungrychuck]

It is fun though to see that they rationalize just as preposterously as we do.
