Dallas signs Terry Larrier

[pj]

I'm hoping that a Hurley-coached Tyler Polley contributes more than an Ollie-coached Terry Larrier ... but hoping Terry Larrier makes an NBA all-star team.

Insane amount of virtue posturing in this thread. Just read the tweet and move on.

Not worth re-hashing Larrier's play for us last year. I wish him well, but, like many of you, I doubt he has what it takes to thrive in the NBA. Iffy handle, poor footwork, not strong inside or on D, and a streaky (at best) outside shot. If he can correct all that …

Now, that said, I hope he can prove me wrong.

If only you could have controlled the narrative two dozen posts ago...

Where's that thread where everyone talked about how much he sucked?

Wherever it is, it has Showballot mocking me at least 5 times about the fact that I said he was a college year away from sneaking into the first round. It's always nice when the NBA confirms what I thought I already knew. I'm guessing I won't hear much from him again. I'll count this as a victory and wish Larrier luck as a Husky...

2 does not equal 3 and a training camp invite isn’t being drafted in the first round

If Larrier really impresses? Good luck with that.

Larrier was burning up the NBA camps and was our leading scorer before the ACL injury.
He certainly wasn’t at his best last year. Maybe an extra year will help who knows for sure.
I wish him luck the kid had some tough breaks and he was a Huskie for three years and graduated so we should wish him well as a UConn alumni
The more we get in the NBA the better.

Terry Larrier will benefit just like RodneyPurvis did with the more open spacing of the pro game.

Thanks for the 2 does not equal 3. An invite to a 22 man pro squad more than implies that he was a year away from sneaking into the first round...

but it really doesn't...

But it really does. See how easy that was?

oh ok, I didn't realize we're just going to make things up today and pretend that they're true

Forces elsewhere are dedicated to making this tacticthe new normal. If it bleeds over to other domains, who can be surprised? And I say this without pronouncing judgment if this is precisely what's going on here.

Oh okay.

So it wasn't true before the invite into camp. Then it wasn't true when he made the 20-22 man squad either.

That's the funny thing. You get to claim it's not true because he left school, and we'll never be able to definitively know. But to anyone who had thought that Terry was worthless, they have two choices right now; either eat their words or continue to just be misanthropic clowns. He's already proven he is a worthwhile player, regardless of what happens when they cut down to 13...

Why do you have bash Kevin Ollie? He was a good guard for us and got us a national championship. Yeah his teams struggled a bit in the end. Those criticizing Ollie have to take a long hard look in mirror. So quit ragging on the guy. He's gone. Hopefully Hurley will do better.

because some folks just don't get it
KO was responsible for all those guys he mentioned for even getting a look at the next level
KO was not good the last two years - no doubt but some like the bash to get likes I guess
We all hope DH does well
I agree - lets move on

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL FORMER HUSKIES

 

[mauconnfan]

Some people discuss a players impact or lack thereof while others are sure to support any player in order to get yet another dig in on the ex-HCKO.

It’s cute in this thread.

yeah one more season as an iona gael would have skyrocketed sam cassell jrs draft stock

They couldn’t have found a picture where had some people in the building?

 

[Huskybass]

As much as I am rooting for Larrier to succeed, he was never going to be a first round draft pick. He would have never been a truly dominant college player and his upside is pretty limited based on his build and ball handling deficiencies. I bet he finds some foreign league where he can flourish though.

 

[Horatio]

I wish him well but can we be honest about
his lengthy but underwhelming time here.
The kid barely played. It was one of the top five weirdest UConn MBB careers ever.

 

[Huskybass]

He was only active the past 2 seasons. Tickets havent exactly been hard to come by.

Probably not.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Good for Terry Carrier, whoever that is .

 

[joober jones]

Congratulations to TL - this is the first step in a very long journey, but even making it this far is huge.

 

[jibsey]

I wish Terry nothing but the best of luck pursuing his NBA dreams. He always seemed to be on the verge of breaking down so it’s worrying with him against much tougher NBA bodies.
