Hope some of our top recruiting targets were at the game and took note how we played giving 100% from the start of the game til the end.

You can’t bring dual back as the starting point guard. If he’s willing to be a backup I think there could be a role for him.

He has played over 35 minutes the last two games with very few turnovers, including zero yesterday, good assists numbets lately on a team that struggles to score, efficient shooting, great defense including steals and blocks.

Put some shooters around him that you have to honor and Dual can get in the lane with ease.

His timely baskets in first half kept us in the game. We lose without those baskets.

He is a sophomore
Was on NBA draft lists coming out of high school. People don't get on those lists because they are not ultra talented and ultra athletic.

IMO may be the most important piece to retain. You can see it starting to click.

When he stops hesitating on offense, he will be a real problem.

Is it a good to have your coach state that this was the first game that we felt like we had a home court advantage?
Players notice and so do recruits.

You do a tiered fundraiser where the more money we raise the bigger the spectacle it is when we feature Frank at the game. If we raise 1 mil we get a Tank for him him to sit on. Then all his fans and especially the big money coworkers at Barstool get involved.

The point is that he has a massive platform and brings lots of eyeballs—- generally that translates to $ — it’s not rocket science

It’s rocket science to Felt and Lyons

Their last two teams had NBA players at Center. And an NBA player at PG.

This team doesn’t.

Although their two headed C monster is certainly solid and way better than what we have. It’s not Klingan and Sanogo.

Diarra healthy isn’t at Newton’s level, and he was hobbled against us (kudos to him for getting through it because Hurley was clearly trying to avoid playing him at all). Mahaney is in Hurley’s dog house - hasn’t worked out and the talented freshman isn’t ready for the level Uconn plays at.

That’s the difference. Because even with him slumping I still love Karajan. McNeeley is a lottery pick stud and Ball can shoot the heck out of it.

Agree, but Godswill outplayed those guys yesterday.

Mahaney was really impacted by ball pressure from Wusu and Dual.

They played well and the stat line was impressive with free throws and turnovers. Fantastic trapping of inbound plays at crunch time. Something is missing from this year's UConn team.

A couple NBA first rounders and a few more NBA players

How the hell did we win this game with everything that’s happened this year. Great job by Sha and his staff and of course a great job by the players.

At Butler, at Providence at Georgetown.
The team was getting better, but then the injuries were brutal for a team with no margin for error.

We are still not good, but we are not as bad as we have been without Jenkins, Wusu and Middleton. If we can get a full roster, we can hand out a few losses to teams the rest of the way.

Dude it is already being done. For instance Crimson Collective benefits local charities by having the NIL athletes make appearances to raise the brand awareness of the charity and to promote increased donations to the charity. Many collectives are not partnered with charities and say there is no charity element to any contribution to them, but will continue particularly for the businesses that make contributions and can direct the contributions to benefit their businesses. The Texas A&M, BPS etc with no charity purposes already shut down.

Crimson is organization that raised over 5 million and spent less than 2.5 mil on the players. So yeah if people want to give to a charity and know that the majority of their money isn’t going to the players that fine. But That’s apples and oranges to what we were talking about. If they paid 4.5 million to players I’d be betting the IRS will scrutinize them big time.

My favorite part of the 501c3 I am sure the world knowing what players are making over 100k. Cole Bishop making 675K and the next highest paid player making 190k is good for team morale. It’s one thing when hearing what elite players make but one average guy making 75k learning another average guy is making 125k is going to piss some people off eventually.

lol. more faith in uconn treating pru like the house of horrors

Not a house of horrors under Danny

He would probably outraise mcbride

Now that’s how you end a losing streak!

UConn will likely take a hit in the rankings and could drop out of the top 25..

That would be nice to keep those 5, not sure if we will. I think most of them will leave....

I do like Dual and see a ton of potential in him, specifically on defense I just don't understand how he can look so bad sometimes.

Thanks, thats good to hear

You ask Frank to make a video complaining how SH doesn't have enough NIL $. Have him say he's donating $100 and ask his followers to please donate if they can. Pay Frank a % of what gets donated. Can't hurt.

To win you need a mix of young guys and veteran guys.

Good luck with that. You sign your name to that scam. I’ll be betting your purpose to be a promotional service for Shriners is not a charitable purpose in the eyes of the IRS. Best of luck. Hope orange is your color.
