Did Rodney get his bachelor's this year? That would make seven players graduating.

Amen! So proud of these guys.

Amilo had a 4.0 in molecular biology. Seems he's heading to Duke University School of Medicine where he will continue his education and inform a recruit or two about the benefits of a UConn education.

Why did Omar Calhoun play so much less after his freshman year? He averaged 11 ppg as a fresh, what happened?

Double hip surgery

Injuries destroyed his career. It's pretty sad, but good for him getting his degree.

I would think Omar is being looked at to be signed after the draft and then play on a summer league team and then possibly a d-league or internationally.

He's an international player I would think.

This. Working out with an NBA team and getting feedback from the best in the world is incredibly valuable. Best of luck Omar!

 

[JSM1970]

Wondering if he could sign, without being drafted, and play overseas and a NBA team retains his rights if he develops to the point he can play in the league

Somewhat like what Daniels is doing, but Daniels was drafted

He's an international player I would think.

Omar comin!

He's set to graduate this summer. He'll meet the course and major requirements then.

should have red shirted the year after double hip surgery. He never recouped from the surgery following his freshman year.

Playing over seas is not a bad gig. Sure every young baller's dream is to play for the NBA. I spent five years in Europe and loved it. Some people save a good part of their lives to travel overseas. Playing ball and enjoying the countries? It really doesn't get better than that imo. Although in some countries they are dealing with the influx of immigrants which is causing huge problems. You never know what is going to happen. No place is safe.

I thought Miller already graduated from Cornell...I'm a UConn grad, but will admit that's a step down if that's the case...
