Whiplash

@ColonnaKyle @matti99661 KY is in deep doo doo. Got frustrated with Cailpari even though he recruited great talent and then rushed around in a huff finding a replacement and ended with Pope. Place needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

@matti99661 UKs offer was already way more than UConn.. that is how they have to try to get people... And it didn't work

Kentucky has upped its offer too freeman too try and stop the UConn visit will it work let's hope so....

@DukePropoganda @Dooch2009 Good point, it would be a downgrade for him.

@unctiously @Dooch2009 We don’t want him.

Here’s a clip from Cayden Boozer’s freshman season for those interested in such things

@HouseofDukeHL Shot by Mullins was no miracle throw in. That shot was from a pass with 3 seconds left from the senior Karaban who gave it up for the better shot. A shot that was perfect shooting form, not a miracle. Difference between experience and inexperience.

UConn loss wasn't on Cayden. If the pass goes thru, he's celebrated as having elite court vision that leads to an easy dunk & win. That's sports. Missed by an inch & kid hit a miracle shot. Plus, Cayden carried Duke in 1st half & others had key turnovers in final 2 min as well.

@DukePropoganda @Dooch2009 Is Reibe going to Duke?

@Dooch2009 Same shit for uconn and Reibe, stfu.

@Officialwilleno @ScottVengeance @cthoops2 He's a top 7 pick? I don't think so

@ScottVengeance @cthoops2 Mullins is going to the nba. He is a projected lottery pick.

Oh my goodness is happening. Not just Khamenia… there’s another

@ScottWRasmussen @JamesSurowiecki Just like the UN, each sovereign has an individual vote; in this case, 2 Senators for each state.

@JamesSurowiecki The US is a collection of independent states. Those states are not merely subsets or administrative units of a national government

There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

@golfingpanti @PF1799 Really? Which ones?

@PF1799 UConn has massive NIL. Danny could get any center he wanted. He chose Hines. Again, character.

🚨 IMPORTANT PANTILONES OPINION 🚨 I am still digesting the Hines to UConn transfer, and it really leaves an awful taste in my mouth for many reasons. It has also permanently changed my opinion towards the UConn program. Let me explain:

@JayKalina2 @13Rossi13 @HallHoopsHQ @GoodmanHoops So wtf are you whining about?

@unctiously @13Rossi13 @HallHoopsHQ @GoodmanHoops They should have just robbed a bank and got him his $4/$5M lol Why didn’t Sha think of that Great call whiplash

Seton Hall transfer Najai Hines heading to UConn, he accouned. The perfect Dan Hurley big man. Tough as shit, rebounds, physical, will do all the dirty work.

@MisterHotBalls Of course, if Mullins leaves for the draft he could be back. Kid has talent.

Safe Travels, Tazzy 🫡

@MisterHotBalls Hope he ends up with Luke

@JayKalina2 @13Rossi13 @HallHoopsHQ @GoodmanHoops Why didn't Hall just keep him?

@13Rossi13 @HallHoopsHQ @GoodmanHoops Poaching from the conference doesn’t make the conference better. Just facts. UConn isn’t doing anything that’s not in the rules, but you can’t complain about needing to make the conference better and then be the team that poaches from those schools for your benefit

@EthynEwingSzn @KentuckyF34638 He's a twig

@KentuckyF34638 Big facts. The kid is a stud. He has future Nba written all over him.

Don't let him leave without a commitment

@kaybouttelover @Ant88048657 @IsaiahScouting @UConnMBB Builds toughness? We'll see if he responds to conditioning like Tarris Reed eg

@Ant88048657 @IsaiahScouting @UConnMBB UConn builds toughness my dude, thats why he came here. Seton Hall can’t do that.

Na'Jai Hines’ commitment to UConn puts him in early 2027 lottery conversations The Seton Hall transfer is coming off an incredible season and now steps into a system that should maximize his trajectory 🧵

@IsaiahScouting @UConnMBB It does NOT put him in lottery "conversations" as if people are sitting around Starbucks talking about his future. Great potential, will be a 2 year player.

@jagjustaguy111 At uconn he will no longer be an "ok" player. He will develop at his full potential. It's what the Huskies do.

On another note I’m not upset that Khamenia is leaving Duke, he was an “okay” player at best and a tweener with a lack of athleticism and I think it’s absolutely the best thing for Duke because his spot will go to a better player. It just sucks he picked UConn.

@_samcalhoun @KayserHoops Wish him well. Never understood what his role was at uconn.

NEWS: Uroš Paunović is entering the transfer portal, per @KayserHoops

@hoyasszn Going portal does not necessarily mean a better team.

I have complete faith in Ed Cooley to go get some guys in the transfer portal. With that being said as well: DePaul, Xavier, Creighton, Providence (most of the bottom of the conference) ALL ARE GETTING GUYS IN THE PORTAL. They are massively improving. Can we?

@BigBlueDylan @BleedBlueCasey @BleedBNetwork @MattSakR2NG @SteinsStuds @bigbluekodakk @TrutherCbb @SportsCastProd @tsm_portal @PortalPredict @CatsVsEveryone Uconn will get the most of his potential.

I wanna expand on Donnie Freeman, and my opinion of his game, and fit with Kentucky at PF. Undeniably versatile, now 6’10, 220lb, he’s got really tight handles for a big, he’s got a quick first step with either hand, good passer, capable shooter, Donnie is everything Coach Pope could seemingly want in the main guy who will be at the point, of getting back to the zoom offense. THAT would be my pitch to Donnie. Show him the Amari Williams Film, tell him you’ll be in these kinds of positions where the ball is in your hands most in the halfcourt, making high level reads/passes, etc. what makes him even more advanced is his ability to take guys off the dribble, his shooting ability mid range/3P, that’s exactly what Kentucky needs next to Malachi Moreno. Alabama is said to be involved, and met with him yesterday. I think the BG signing (which wasn’t cheap) MAY be a little bit of a “pivot” from Donnie’ they certainly can’t offer as much as Kentucky. UConn is interesting, they’re awaiting NBA/Return decisions from 3 Guards, they need a starting wing, they need a PF, and they need 2 C’s (in a market where they’re very expensive) UConn has the lowest offer of the 3. His camp apparently likes Hurley/Uconn. Kentucky is hosting Donnie on a visit today, reportedly through Thursday. I don’t think it’s a coincidence Jeff Goodman dropped the “potential” ‘UConn visit on Friday’, just one day before he gets on Kentucky’s campus. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was agent tactics, to publicly tell UK Staff, “let’s get this done while he’s on campus” Kentucky has the highest offer to Donnie by far. Let’s see if they can lock him up while he’s in Lexington. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

@storyline1985 @chrisjo40312 @luke_sharrock7 Oh yeah? Why did they go in the portal? Uconn hasn't signed anyone yet. Not everyone likes to sit on the bench as a backup in waiting.

@chrisjo40312 @luke_sharrock7 Here is the thing: these players will take less money to go play for UCONN right now over UK. It’s a sad reality

This is simply to get an NIL number and package to take to UConn so they can draw up something similar to allow him to play where he wants. Rinse, wash, repeat

@GabrielFig76616 @StorrsCentral He literally stepped up in the non conf for uconn. Pressure not the issue.

@StorrsCentral But why did he leave, Ask me I think he couldn’t over come the pressure

Dan Hurley on Eric Reibe's decision to enter the transfer portal: "Eric was a soldier and a warrior for us. He saved us in the non-conference. He played great. He's gonna have a great career no matter where he goes. He's one of my favorite guys I've coached."
