Agree. They need a separate fight thread.

In all honesty it's not Memphis fans chasing them around derailing every thread. Fortunately I'm glad that most of us have learned to ignore them, at least as long as possible anyway. I'd think most Memphis fans would like to engage them in decent and positive discussions about what their team as well as ours.

Averaged 21 pts a game last year (conference player of the year in the MEAC) and 23 its a game as a freshmen. Huge get for UConn who is now loaded at guard for the next couple of seasons.

Score!

Congrats.

It is hard, but ignoring trolling posts is the best way to limit clutter and focus on the positive aspects of our respective school’s sports.

Yup, I'm glad to see we've all ignored the last troll post.

Congrats on Cole.

When is the expected decision date for the targeted recruits?

I think today is the official end of the LOI signing period (although it does not seem a deterrent to waiting later for some recruits).

Technically we don't have any scholarships left due to the self-imposed ban, thus the current roster situation needs to be taken care of before someone else officially takes his spot.

We self imposed a 1 scholarship ban for the 2019-2020 season due to the Ollie-NCAA issue.

UConn is expected to have 1 more scholarship. Things being worked on behind the scenes for a certain player.

They just offered Charles Coleman, who just de-committed from Wake. I know some think he is a ECU lean.

I would say more than a lean. But with UConn complete he could definitely look at that as an overall better fit for him to what will still be some flux from ECU as Dooley rebuilds.

Should be interesting. Wonder who the back up plan is for both schools.

We've offered, but there's no indication that he's our top choice to fill the last schollie. See list above.

ECU was waiting for Khadim Sy who had us in his top 3. When he announced to Ole Miss, Coleman announced his decommit an hour later at 10 at night. Naturally it looked like he might be the next Pirate. Now, not so sure.
