It'd be interesting if we get Tennesse in NCAAM, and football, and Geno and Summit not getting together again for NCAAW.[/QUOTE]
I guess we got Tennesse. A deal was reached where the Vols come here in 2010-11, and we go to Knoxville in the 2011-12. It does seem odd that Pat and Geno are still at odds. Oh well, life goes on.

When will the 2009-10 schedule come out?
Re: Connecticut Huskies fan thread
UConn is opening the 2010 football season in Michigan. Nice to see Michigan, Notre Dame, and Tennessee coming onto the schedule.

Whoa!! We got Michigan in football and basketball??? Dang!!! That is nice.
Re: Connecticut Huskies fan thread
Probably worth mentioning the long-term UConn/Notre Dame series in football has collapsed. UConn will only play them this year as a one and done. Too bad about that.
Re: Connecticut Huskies fan thread
Rod Odom picked up an offer from UConn over the weekend, and will be visiting tomorrow. I'd say 75% chance he is our first pickup of the 2010 class. Odom is a 3* on Scout, 4* by Rivals, and 93/99 by ESPN. So the consensus is 4 stars for Odom. CJ Leslie (5*) and Josh Selby (5*) are visiting UConn this week also.

Good. I hate Notre Dame anyway. I never liked this deal in the first place. I was glad that Rutgers told ND to stuff it. It is time that schools stop bending over backwards for a washed up program.
I say that we try to get some of those SEC schools; Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss, Alabama, come to mind. But let ND stay wherever they are. Play this one game and never let ND football enter our plans.

NIT Bracket:
1 Duke
Costal Carolina
8 Charlotte
Elon
4 Arizona State
Texas State
3 LSU
Indiana State
5 Western Kentucky
Milwaukee
2 UConn
Colgate
6 Hofstra
Yale
Re: Connecticut Huskies fan thread
That is a nice NIT bracket. With programs like LSU and Arizona St in the mix, the NIT should be pretty interesting.
Re: Connecticut Huskies fan thread
"Josh Selby made his visit to UConn today. I'm hearing it went well."
"Jeremy Lamb's visit begins tomorrow. Rod Odom, who had to cancel a visit last week, couldn't make it this week, either. He and UConn have pushed back plans for his visit, which will happen in the next few weeks."

I'm starting to think we could land Selby and Tobias Harris. If Calhoun can do that this will be an amazing class.
Re: Connecticut Huskies fan thread
Walker and Dyson and Robinson next season are gonnna tear it up!!
Re: Connecticut Huskies fan thread
I've seen Dyson play a few times this summer..he is fully healthy and looks incredible. I think he can really contend for big east player of the year this year and certainly defensive player of the year.
Re: Connecticut Huskies fan thread
UConn plays William & Mary on 11/13. Wish they would just release the schedule all at once.
