After strong 5v5 showings from Tarris Reed Jr. and Karaban lighting it up in the shooting drills, both Huskies are boosting their stock at the NBA Combine π

Love this fit for Skyler Bell, the Bills are desperate for playmaking at WR and Josh Allen is of course one of the best QBs in the game. Plus Joe Brady in charge of the offense there
Philly to DC to Indy, what a ride.
Finally home, great times in fun host cities the first two weekends. Even enjoyed the non-UConn games, college basketball (men's) is SO back.
@MorganGregoryG@StorrsCentral Hurley seems to not like that, but maybe *this* is the time he actually does it. Opposing coaches have noted that Karaban is a tough matchup at the 4 for someone who can't run with him...idk, Michigan is different, have to come up with something, or drain a lot threes
Since I had wifi issues on that day... some assorted pics from Friday's open practice. The gloves they start with, the band, and the fellas signing autographs
Walking around DC in my Braylon Mullins shirt, strangers are stopping me like, βThatβs the guy that hit the shot!? With like no time left. That was incredible.β Yes. Yes it was.
My Food Log:
Went to Cantina twice, Andy's Pizza twice (should have included in my recs, also Wiseguys for pizza) and had my last meal before leaving DC at Chai Pani in Union Market.
Have been to their Asheville location, pre-covid, this one is really nice too
Alright folks, know you were waiting. My food recs for DC:
Near the arena: lots of traps, get ramen at daikaya or bantam king. @RepublicCantina has elite bfast tacos. Unconventional Diner. Ambar. A Litteri. Laos in Town
Find the Ethiopian, El Salvadorean, Peruvian (food) near u
Also posted this for Aaliyah Edwards when she got drafted by the Mystics two years ago, some may be closed now or changed but it probably holds up okay
