Durham transferring

[JSM1970]

Agreed. And they were patient with him. Never want to root for failure, but not a kid I'd ever cheer for either.

This one pisses me off. Loyalty by honoring a scholarship through two ACL tears isn't reciprocated. What a joke.

Really, it's getting to the point where people are rationalizing, "well they weren't that good...not a big deal...etc etc" and I get that. Durham was never going to be the player we thought he would be after those injuries. Vance would never survive KO and how he was being used. Enoch needed to go somewhere else to improve. MAL wanted to see other options...These guys are theoretically ALL replaceable.

But really...wtf are we going to do?? Are we going to be replacing these people with kids who can play next year?? Is there a plan?? Or does Ollie have his hands in his pockets and are really going to field a team of about 7 next year? Really I'm at a loss for words not because of the people transferring, but because of the sheer amount of it going on this year. I've never seen anything like this before. What the hell do we do now?

Ollie has his hand in his pockets?

What exactly do you want him to do? Hold the kids for ransom?

There are not a lot of players left, and it's obvious that they are going after a few of the handful that are left, but the chances aren't great they'll come here so late in the game.

It's April.

Very Interesting, if true.

You're right, but I completely forgot about Vital so my post was idiotically chicken little to begin with.

 

[JMick]

This one stings. Hopefully it's over. Something must be really wrong.

Pre injury Juwan was the top recruit.

Asked to leave, like stop. Haven't said a bad word about Oz on here, but like really?

This. This one actually bugs me the most out of all of them.

...because of all those big men beating down our door? that's an... interesting... statement. makes you wonder if something else is brewing

That's got to be BS. I kinda don't like Oz right now. Too much unnecessary blabbing. Reminds me of a high school girl.

I agree with @Chief00 that he was out of line during the Miller firing too.

WTF??!?! In what possible universe could this even be true? I can't fathom the circumstances here.

Interesting...

Asked to leave a team with 4 open scholarships and ZERO returning minutes at the 4/5? Makes perfect sense. Apparently Oz and Chillious run our program now.

 

[Candyman]

Interesting...

Not sure I by that. Seems like spin to me.

 

[PAHusky]

Interesting if true, but smells a little bit too much like telling your boys "I totally dumped Stacy" while you're hanging out in the 7-11 parking lot before you go home and cry into your pillow for two hours.

 

[Huskybass]

The shitshow continues. Wake up apologists. The program is a steamy mess of epic proportions.

If Oz's tweet is true, we really do need an explanation. Best of luck to Juwan.

This is like starting over, hope the reboot brings the computer back to life!

The one thing I will say about Durham is that his recruitment was out of the blue for me. He was not talked about much on this board for such a high caliber recruit. He had only one ACL injury at the time, and suddenly, this formerly top 10 kid, was a UConn commit. If I recall correctly, he was only mentioned once on this board prior to his visit and commit.

He was not someone people on here were tracking.

I find it all curious. Kind of a marriage of convenience in the first place.

 

[JMick]

Interesting...

He needs to shut up

Interesting...

Making room for Chillious's recruits? Anybody else coming in? Part of a master plan?

 

[UConnfan8]

You know what if KO is seriously telling OZ to be the "spin guy" for the program he needs to change up. Oz is annoying, sounds immature and quite frankly NOT a good look for someone who apparently has "sources." NOT a fan of his whatsoever. KO needs to get with this social media thing and realize whats going on.

 

[intlzncster]

@Zionn pleasae tell me this was the last one you were referring to. If there's more to come, I'm taking my ball and going home.

 

[Caronimo]

Don't even care. 10 toes in not 5. Just messed up considering KO honored this kids scholly after 2 ACL surgeries.

 

[husky99]

Hope this is it. .

 

[ctchamps]

I'm not sure anyone can find Oz credible after he posted no more transfers. Just spin to make himself look better which doesn't help KO at all.
