Good for him!

Congrats and hopefully a big payday.

Thanks for everything, DD!

I'd love to have him back, but this is the right call.

Thank you DeAndre. Good luck going forward! Continue to make Husky nation proud!

Thanks and best of luck

Thanks for everything DD! Best of luck!

fkkk. I have a feeling all the other players who decided to return pushed him to take his chances now. Wish him luck, but wouldn't be surprised to see him fail to crack the first round.

As far as our outlook for next year, we just went from preseason #10 to maybe #25. We have nobody who can replace his production; the 4 will be a black hole next year unless Facey goes from a guy who couldn't get minutes to a 10/6 guy.

I'll be rooting for him to go high.

 

[Karmacop]

I really hope he gets drafted in the first round. Seems like he's right on the border between first and second. It'd be great if he got that guaranteed contract.

Thanks for everything DD! Good luck!

It was absolutely awesome watching DD dominate in the Tournament!

I'm gonna be pulling hard for him to get into the first round a find a home in NBA.

DD was and is now forever a member of the Hungry Huskies!

 

[BrassBonanza]

would like to see him land with Kemba on the Bobcats....

 

[huskyniner]

Good luck! Rooting for you Deandre.

 

[Husky25]

Very selfish of him to intentionally detract from my enjoyment level of College basketball. He should stay one more year and exhaust his eligibility.

 

[Tommyboy]

Thanks for everything DD!

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Peace out DD.

*tear*

 

[UConn76]

Best of luck and sure he will represent the Huskies well...

UConn runs on DD....kid needs to sign a contract with Dunkin Donuts asap...thanks for the chip Deandre and I hope celts grab you and bazz haha he just needs to get his handle better and I believe he could be a great NBA player

 

[UConn3432]

Down to 10 scholarship players if Leon transfers...

 

[aceboon]

can't fault him at all, great postseason, alot of players coming back, if he works out well he has a chance to sneak into the 1st round. If that happens its a win win for him and program. Strike while the iron is hot, given what we've seen from him the past 2 years it wouldn't surprise me if he was inconsistent during the regular season again, better to bounce now while your stock is at a high. I said before the FF that I'd trade DD's senior year for a ship and we don't get that without his peformance against UF, I'm looking forward to draft night and hearing his name called.

UCONN will be a different team. They will have plus/plus scoring from 1-3 this year. Didn't have a ton at the 3 in 2014. Giffey could shoot the 3, but Hamilton can light it up.

If Boat doesn't come back, we are barely cracking the Top 25 preseason. Otherwise, we are solidly Top 20, assuming Brimah gets back to full strength.

 

[boog204]

leaves a champion... hope he has a long career in the league. thanks DD!

 

[Jerry1714]

Figured he'd go but still sad to see (purely selfish reasons). Thanks for everything and good luck!!

 

[UConNick]

Like aceboon, i wa perfectly willing to swap his senior year for a title. Good luck DD and you'll always be remembered fondly (and as a f---kin champ) here!!!!
