Al in Portal

[Vancat]

 

[awfuldan]

Husky forever. Good luck!

 

[KingAG]

Felt inevitable

 

[dannyHAM]

As expected this explains the open scholarship. Potentially one more in play. With that being said, I wish AL the best of luck. Great guy who had some tough times.

 

[JB75]

Damn. That sux. Seemed like he was just starting to get his game back. We ll miss his on the ball D and ball handling. Hopefully gaff steps up

 

[Ts5034]

Its going to be tough seeing him in another uniform.

 

[8893]

Best of luck, AG. You deserve it!!!

 

[BrassBonanza]

Thanks for everything AG- sad to see you move on but wishing you the best in your next stop!

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

I hope he lands in a good spot and is able to find happiness/peace. It will be interesting to see which programs get involved

 

[polycom]

This is hurley’s first transfer ever right?

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Chart update?

 

[8893]

This is hurley’s first transfer ever right?

At UConn, yes. I don't know about prior to that.

 

[Com'rGordon]

One of my favorites

 

[Pmurph678]

Probably a sign AG sees Cole as a very good player. Not sure why else he’d transfer.

 

[aburks41]

Hopefully goes to another high major. He’s from Georgia right? Hopefully an SEC team scoops him up

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Does entering the portal commit him to a transfer or is it similar to testing NBA draft waters, where he could still return after reviewing options?

I didnt really expect this- thought Al would go pro or come back to UConn. With the things he's gone through physically and mentally, could be be looking to play closer to home?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

He 100% ends up a 6th man on a very good team.

Much like his role here in Feb-March.


Must of luck to a Husky.

 

[JB75]

I think it’s a bigger loss than we realize - the defense of our guards could be a big problem next year - Gaffney Adam’s bouk- unless Cole is a lock down type guy - which I don’t think he is.

 

[Inyatkin]

I get this, but I hate it

 

[UconnU]

This is hurley’s first transfer ever right?

Yes

He could pull his name from the portal but...

 

[superjohn]

This is best for Alterique and best for UConn. Look forward to rooting for him wherever he ends up, great guy.

 

[LIuconn]

He did graduate, so this shouldn't be a blemish on Hurley's record.

Either way, he's a warrior and I hope everything works out for him

 

[huskymedic]

 

[krinklecut]

I hope he tears it up wherever he lands. Kid deserves to see success.

 

[navery12]

Not surprising, wish him all the best. Hope he finds a good spot and loses in the national championship game

 

[HobokenHusky]

Does this maybe mean we got a commitment on a transfer in that we will hear about soon?

 

[BFieldHusky]

Its unfortunate, but if we want guys like Nolley or others, we need scholarships.

Best of luck to Gilbert wherever he ends up.

 

[CTBasketball]

Breaks my heart.

Landing Nolley would cheer me up. I noticed today that Draft Express has him listed as a second-round pick this year. I know that means nothing but having two starters with NBA talent would certainly excite the fan base. One thing of note: Al was the last of a long line of huskies who were top 40 rated recruits. Hopefully, we're almost at a point of signing new ones. UConn is on its way back.
