CV deserves to post here telling us; "I told you so!".

Dream and Goal reached! Congrats.

I told you so

 

[ucawn]

So just to clarify CV will be playing for Memphis G-League correct?

 

[Jbirdp5]

The fact that the press release couldn’t even get the conference correct is just one of the many reasons we had to get out of that god forsaken conference.....congrats CV

Seems like he was just waived.

Seems like he was just waived.

Confirmed

'Vital was waived by the team in what could be a paper move that gets him on the Grizzlies’ G-League affiliate.'

Did he get any benefit at all?

Gets an extra $50k

i think he’ll eventually make it up. he’s a shot maker w/ mental toughness

One of the better players to come out of the G-league, and now NBA champion, Alex Caruso had this to say about G-league players, “A big reason guys get stuck in the G-League is because they don’t realize the position they’re trying out for. It’s like going to a job interview thinking you’re going to be the CFO of the company, and they’re looking for someone to clean the bathrooms.”

CV has always seemed like the type of player willing to sacrifice anything to win. I think he’ll earn his chance.

Dude's a winner. Any team is lucky to have a player with his fortitude. 1st Team All-Senhor T.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Kinda guy that hopefully makes an impression on the front office the more time they spend with him.

guards who can rebound, defend, and shoot at a high level are perfect in the microball era. Vital will do great

I’m not defending the AAC, but I don’t think they got the conference name wrong. They didn’t call it the “All-American Athletic Conference.” He was on the All-AAC team. It just sounds weird when they spell out the conference name. Not like they called us the University of UConn (see BC University).

I was about to argue with you, but it looks like you're right. Now I feel silly about my first post. I probably still would have posted the same thing had I interpreted it correctly, but I would have meant it as an attempt at a clever joke.

Yikes

 

[AdamaNation]

If CV was 6’5” he’d have been a draft pick. I’m so glad he’s getting a shot though because he plays much bigger than he his. Does anyone know if he’ll be playing in these preseason games or just G-league when the season starts.

And if boat was 6’2” he would have too. Go CV!! But still no boat.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

That’s awesome news. Vital always gave it his all. Nothing but fond memories of him and well wishes for him.

 

[Chief00]

Congrats to CV from Chief. Yes, you can!

 

[mauconnfan]

CV will make money in the game he loves one way or another. GLeague for a while and then make a move on Euro if NBAs not knocking. Plays too hard and does lots of things well. Good for him, good kid!! True Husky
