George Washington transfer Lasan Kromah has committed to UConn, per a source. Eligible immediately. Big get for Kevin Ollie.

 

[UCDaveD]

Nice. 1 year of eligibility left?

 

[HuskyBballFan]

So Wolf must be done?

 

[Danzz]

Anybody know anything about him?

 

[Deleted member 3149]

Great news! It seems like he'll be a better version of RJ Evans. Leadership and experience can never hurt, and why not spend you're senior year winning a national title at cowboy stadium. Smart man.

 

[aceboon]

I guess Wolf is gone

 

[ucinnc]

Can he hit his free throws?

You have to think so. Either him or someone else.

99 is he on athletic scholarship?

 

[UCDaveD]

Can he hit his free throws?

51% in 2009-10
64% in 2011-12
67% in 2012-13

Either him or someone else.

Can't argue with that.

Allen back to walk on?

So basically, we're losing a seven footer that would have started for us at center and adding a mid-major talent to an already crowded backcourt. I'm sure he's a nice player but not exactly the news I wanted to hear this afternoon.

This is interesting. An experienced guard that can add depth to the backcourt, but a poor 3-point shooter and shoots a sub-par percentage from the free throw line. Hopefully he can provide some leadership and sets a good example for the young guys like RJ Evans did. I wouldn't expect too much, but happy to have him for a year if the scholarship is open.

If Enosch loses his scholarship do you think he will be able to walk on? I just can't see Ollie giving up on him, especially after the case was dropped.

Allen back to walk on?

He already is. Purvis took the 13th scholarship.

Didn't Purvis take his scholarship?

Our backcourt is by no means crowded. If Kromah can handle the ball(I have no idea if he can) we needed another player back there. As for Wolf it wasn't even a given he'd start for us, not saying they're the end all/be all but both Duffy and Amore predicted Facey starting at C.

Napier has not made a whole season, correct? This is a good call

 

[Palatine]

This doesn't seem to make much sense.

For the record, people have suggested in other threads that Wolf might be losing his scholarship. I don't think anybody has said that Wolf will not be allowed to play basketball.

It does if there's a scholarship available. There's nothing to lose here. I know nothing about him, but statistically he looks like a better version of RJ Evans.

How did our backcourt depth look last year when Napier got hurt?
