Boo Harvey is the single worst poster on this entire board. He is a bitter Norm lover who doesn't offer anything of value in terms of game analysis or recruiting. Every post he makes is to try to piss off posters, and he hides for weeks at a time waiting for his opportunity to do so.
The board is a better place when he's not here, so I would urge everyone to ignore him and maybe he'll go away.
He'll also attempt a witty retort to this post, but since he's also painfully unfunny, it'll fall flat on its face.
It seems like he gets upset about fans being excited about our prospects. It seems like he feels that some players are overrated, so we should temper the enthusiasm. He also fabricates a situation in an attempt to strengthen his usually weak arguments.
I view him to be an annoyance whom occasionally go into long diatribes in attempt to debate. Quite frankly, he's not doing any of the sort (debating). It's basically a mask for his bitching. He rarely ever says anything positive, and when he does it comes off somewhat backhanded. I bet he only complimented Sampson's verbal because he's considered a top 35 talent. He probably doesn't see nor watch any of the recruits play, so it seems he's only basing things off whether a player is a 4 or 5-star player.
He lies dormant like a disease and readies himself to pounce at an opportunity he views vunerable. Hence, this wasn't particularly a bad situation, but he viewed it as one. I don't know whether he believes the crap he spews or he's just here to be a pest because he enjoys it.
Once upon a time in an innocuous fan board far far away there lived the great mayor dinkins and his band of merry posters who strove to ensure that their fan board remained a place where the same five astute and objective observers in their infinite wisdom decreed which posts contained value.
They lived by a simple code -- "In Lavin we trust." And for a time their fan board prospered and all was well. Recruits clambered to the program and their team realized success. All was harmonious on the fan board.
But then a dark storm approached. Three recruits were declared ineligible and the coach became ill. Players transferred and the team suffered through a dismal season. Following the disappointing season, the team's most valuable player declared for the nba.
From the dark and dank crevices of the fan board their emerged a foul troll who dared to dissent. His putrid venomous posts expressed concern and even went so far as to criticize the fan board's beloved program.
"Be gone filthy troll," the mayor and his men shouted. "You bring no value to this board uconn fan', they admonished. "Banish him moderators," they implored. "The folly of his ways will be apparent in the spring," they retorted. Indeed, the mayor once asked this coward to identify his seat number at MSG so that he the mayor himself could shut this creature up once and for all.
On occasion the troll would try in vain to disguise his intentions with flowery praise of the fan board's school. But the mayor and his band of merry posters could see past the scoundrel's web of deceit.
To the mayor's relief, the troll disappeared from the board for a spell and all appeared to return to normal. Prognostications of a top shelf recruiting class abounded. "This could be my best class ever," predicted the coach.
Then the recruits arrived. First branch then balamu and Sampson followed by borgault and Sanchez. Then hooper and finally wood. The mayor and his band celebrated their triumph.
In the midst of their elation, the troll reemerged with its slanderous posts. "But two of the recruits will likely not play and a third will play only half the season," it bellowed. "And we have no size," it screeched. Then, from the depths of its rotting brain, the troll hurled the most sickening, repulsive insult -- "Outside of Sampson this recruiting class is no better than norm Roberts' classes."
Well this was too much for the mayor and his virtuous followers. "If we can hurl insults at him one by one -- attack his character, his intelligence, his humor -- we may well rid ourselves of this creature once and for all," one of them posited. And so the anonymous vigilantes from their computers and iPads cast their verbal stones upon the troll.
"He is not witty," one quipped. "He probably does not even watch the recruits play," another challenged. "He lies dormant like a disease" only to reemerge to spew his "crap" the mayor posted, emboldened by his followers' insults.
Will the troll be cowed by the mayor and his merry posters? To be continued.
