[screenthis]

Events this Saturday seem pretty cool...looks over at tickets to the baseball game...Holy Sh**...$286 for a seat in the outfield?

[jakez4ut]

in a word....no.

but who cares about a best qb list in April.

i'll check back in December, and see where it is then.

 

[Jackcrevol]

If his NIL eval wasnt up to his expectations its hard to blame him. Next man up.

 

[Weezer]

I feel like we just got dumped with the classic, "It's not you it's me" line.

 

[SoilVol]

Now we wait and see what Aidoo and Phillips do.

I think Awaka leaving increases the odds that Phillips stays. Phillips seems like more of an offensive player, so maybe we're prioritizing that.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I feel like we just got dumped with the classic, "It's not you it's me" line.

If he wants to be closer to home. Understand.

If he wants more NIL, but Spyre doesnt see it. I get it.

He is a player, and frankly shouldve been playing more, period.

Also, the Freshman big really impressed. I dont think its that big a loss knowing that.
You have to get help at G and C tho.

Last season's basketball team was special. It hit its peak as a top # 5-6 type team. Very thankful for their efforts and will always remember them.

However, without Knecht last season's team may have been a major disappointment. Dalton showed us how a transfer can totally change the results of a team in one season.

As a result I am looking forward to seeing what our HOF coach can put together.

Very well said.

Not ideal. Should hear about how Aidoo decides today, too.

If he leaves, my memory of Awaka will always be the night he got kissed by KY's Bradshaw and that crazed look in Tobe's eyes. That was wild

So scholarship numbers now.... JJJ wasn't on scholarship so he's not included

Outgoing:
Knecht
Vescovi
Jefferson
Dilione
Awaka

Incoming:
Boswell

5 new faces incoming. 4 yet to be decided. Feels like Barnes can go all-in in the portal.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Barnes going to have to suck it up and uses some NIL this year. Either on some big time transfers or some McDonald’s all Americans. Roster going to need some scoring in a bad way.

He’s gotta open the check book.

They’re in for a big surprise!

I havent looked at UConn's recruiting. But, I did see its athletes. At some point you have to get more athletic. At every position.

Little late on the latter... most everyone in the 2024 class is already signed. Unless we can rob some KY signees when/if they get released from their NIL.

James was on scholarship. Went on after Ledlum left.

Nico can beet all them fools.

Yep. UConn played fast and in control. We could play fast in spurts but JJJ and Vescovi slowed the game way down when the ball was in their hands.

JJJ WAS on scholarship after Ledlum left. So we now have 5 open spots, 3 graduating and 3 in the portal with Bishop taking one.

 

[drvenner]

I thought it was 13?

that works too

 

[tnvols72]

 

[peaygolf]

No reason.............just great to watch. I miss those days.

 

[Gilbert]

40 minutes to go around for Awaka, Aidoo, and Estrella. Staff loves Estrella and was going to do everything to keep him. I think it was expected one of Awaka or Aidoo was on the way out. I think Aidoo for sure stays now.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Knowing our luck he will hit a growth spurt over the summer and come into Fall camp 3 inches taller.
