(2024) - Liam McNeeley to UConn

Meh. it’s not that bad.

So much for them “getting better.” They’re unprofessional clowns. Middle-aged men with the judgment of preteens. I wouldn’t trust them anywhere near a recruit. No idea what the program sees in them. Somehow the big hitters in college basketball have figured out how to funnel NIL money to recruits without relying on carnival barkers. Why can’t we? 

They do it quieter and bigger at the same time. We are trying so hard to stay within the letter of the law while the lawless lap and laugh at us. A for effort, though, right?

Say you’re a high school basketball player. Do you choose school A, where you’ll have to deal with those two weirdos, or go to school B where you’ll get paid more money and not have to deal with them? Not a very hard decision, imo… Our rivals love that we’ve hitched our wagons to the hysterical Hoosiers.

What 50ish old man types this out and thinks “this is the tweet. This is what I want to send to the 16 year old I want to come to my school.” (Also what 50ish year old man tweets at high school recruits in the first place, but I digress)

The fact that we’re debating how bad the weird tweet our lovely NIL guys sent out to a teenager is a problem in and of itself. They shouldn’t be tweeting at recruits period.

True. But it wasn’t bad enough for anyone in the program to tell them to delete it. I like your description of it; weird.

So much of it is because they already had illegal money earmarked for recruits.

None of hysterics is illegal lol

Was wondering the same thing. Thought maybe there was some minor old school thing I’d forgotten about.

I like this response from a hometown teammate’s mom who was also a former D1 player:

Probably just congratulating him on his visit

This is why recruits add "not committed" to their posts.

Eventually we will need to be the Bride instead of the Bridesmaid(s).

Yeah 2nd place does nothing. Close the deal. Texas might be tough to beat though.

Pretty good article other than the fact that he is not in any remotely conventional sense of the term, a power forward.
