Corey Floyd visiting Providence

[emt]

 

[uconnever]

F-him.

 

[bendm]

like i said, hope he enjoys being the 5th G in their rotation!

 

[kansashusky]

Dont know why he would go there after they just signed the kid from South Carolina.

 

[Dogman69]

I just literally do not get this move from Corey.

 

[Horatio]

This is the uncomfortable, other side of the portal. You wish for kids to transfer far, far away but they end up in your backyard and on your schedule. Smh

 

[HooperScooper]

Cooley going all out on the transfers. Will be interesting if you can build an entire team like that and make it work. I think the only players they have coming back from their rotation this past season are Bynum and Croswell.

 

[Edward Sargent]

I don't get it either. He is just what we need in a CG

and Breed. meaning they already have 4 Gs getting heavy minutes in bynm, breed, carter, and locke.

I mean this one makes a ton of sense for Cooley as a younger guy in addition to the more experienced guys he's bringing in. Just feels like a weird move for Corey if he was after PT. Doubt he'll get appreciably more PT next year if he chooses PC than he would have by staying. The whole situation is just odd and I'm selfishly hoping we get more insight into it.

Very strange that after the SC kid said yes he would even visit unless it’s just the location from Storrs. I mean same situation.

If he goes to Providence it wasn't about PT. On to the next one.

 

[Zionn]

love it and look forward to beating the Friars each and every season

 

[ucp990411]

Might create more bad blood with us and them. Nice to have someone to really hate.

 

[VindiKate]

Who cares, rear view mirror

 

[Mooch82]

He lives!

But yeah...Floyd going to Providence would make zero sense if it's a playing time issue. As of right now we have more PT available than they do. Still the only transfer I haven't gotten over.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Ya know, it could just be he was buddies with a couple guys who left and didn't like going to school in the middle of nowhere.

It's really not that crazy an 18 year old would change their mind based on something other than projected mpg drawn up by message board posters.

If Hurley told Corey that he was looking to bring in a starting point guard and another guard who will be playing starter's minutes, as well as possibly having Castle reclass, Corey was potentially looking at being the sixth guard on our team (behind Newtown, AJax, Hawkins, Castle and one more starter-level transfer).

This could further ignite the rivalry to places we haven’t seen since the Kris Dunn/Andre Drummond posse scuffle at Shrine in Foxwoods

Floyd and Hawkins are 2/3's and Jax will be a 3/4 this year most likely. Floyd would have been the primary backup at 2/3 even if we bring in a transfer. Essentially the same as Hawkins' role this past year.

Have to keep in mind this is a kid who graduated a full year early from high school to come to UConn. Maybe, just maybe, it was more beyond just basketball that lead to his transfer. Storrs is not for everyone after being there for an extended stay.

Sid Wilson vibe

Yeah it's starting to look like this wasn't a playing time issue. I'd be very curious to hear the real story.

yup i've said the exact same thing but transferring just to climb up 1 spot in the rotation is still a questionable move from a bball perspective.

 

[Scoe]

We have no control over this, let’s worry about what we control beat them, win the BE and make a run in March.
