No Resolution on Ryan Boatright ... Yet
Wish we could give you more info on Ryan Boatright's situation, but as of right now, there's really nothing new to report.
UConn's compliance staff has been working late hours (until 9 p.m. the other night) trying to get some sort of resolution from Indianapolis, but nothing ... yet.
Here's what Jim Calhoun had to say this afternoon:
"Everybody’s working like crazy, trying to get some resolution right now ... There’s no indication of (whether he'll come back at all), the only indication is we’re trying like crazy to get him back."
"One of the worst parts about it, it hangs there. Ryan has a great day of practice today, it hangs there. It hangs with the kids (saying), ‘If we had him.’ We don’t, right now."
“All of us want to have the best team possible. I think we all would admit – good, bad or indifferent – to not play, to play, to not play can wear on you. I know it wears on me. No one cares about that, nor should they.”
Boatright's teammates obviously want him back, as well.
“He’s the same person. He’s not letting it get him down," said Andre Drummond. "He’s still playing twice as hard in practice. He wants to come back really bad, and I just can’t wait for the day that he gets cleared.”
Elsewhere ...
*** DeAndre Daniels, after "probably the best week of practice of his career," will be back in the starting lineup Sunday, ahead of Niels Giffey.
*** Calhoun said Tyler Olander recently has been "logy. He’s looked logy in games, I don’t know why.”
*** Ex-Huskies Donny Marshall, Kevin Freeman, Kevin Ollie and Tony Robertson have been going against UConn in practice over the past week.
***UConn's Super Bowl predictions:
DRUMMOND: "Patriots. They’ve got Tom Brady, what more could you ask for? I’m from New York, I like the New York Giants, but I think the Patriots might get the best of them.”
JEREMY LAMB: “I kind of want the Giants to win. I don’t really watch too much football … I just want to see a good game. But I think the Giants might be able to pull it off.
CALHOUN: “The Patriots will win, I just can’t give you the (details) … Everybody talks about getting injuries from the Patriots, that’s not gonna happen. When Randy Edsall was here, you were much more likely to get a week in advance injury report from him than you would two hours before the Patriots kick off Super Bowl Sunday.”

This is just one more case of a control trip.....Ryan had a chance to play to improve himself and his mother wants to watch her son play. This is a bad thing?? The NCAA has had it in for the AAU for a very long time. It showed up a lot in running and young people usually are the ones that get the axe, along with the program they are part of. The very sad part of it is, nothing was done that is wrong except by some hard right person who wants to control everything and have everyone see him as the person in control! Why don't they come right out with the problem, resolve it and not try to take the season away from a very good program like UCONN has run for years? Everyone is afraid to say anything about the NCAA or what they do but someone in a strong position should. We don't live in a prewar Nazi state I hope.
