Well-deserved. D2 is great basketball. Best of luck!

I should add... having a D2 caliber walk-on to practice with was a huge luxury and an underrated steal by this staff. Just another sign of a well run program.

Two of the other walk-ons are also really good. In another era, our walk-ons were barely D3 caliber.

Not trying to be funny, is that a scholarship program?

 

[NJHoops]

Get minutes at JUCO, see if it turns into a D1 scholarship offer.

Cease and desist or you'll be hearing from my counsel.

Kid can shoot the ball. Go kill it EH

Interesting move. Worst case scenario, he's probably able to transfer to those D2 schools (or similar) after JUCO. Best case, maybe he gets some sniffs from low majors. Good luck! Kid definitely had the enthusiasm and love for the game.

Darius Smith took that route and went to Southern Idaho.

Love Rollins and Winter Park. Play golf with an ex President of Rollins and have spent quite a bit of time there. Buddy Ebsen and Mad Dog Russo are well known alumns. Doc Rivers and Carrot Top have homes

Buddy Ebsen lost the role of Tin Man because he was allergic to the paint.

Of all the JUCOs out there, he found one of the most remote places. Concordia, Kansas

Gonna be fun to follow the futures of every member, staff and player, on the #5 team. I feel this squad will end up looking very special in retrospect.

I remember in the 90s there was a place Idaho, maybe Southern Idaho Junior College or something that, that attracted top kids with academic issues. Last chance U.

Yikes, talk about questionable decision making. Had he stayed at UConn he could’ve gotten a good degree while playing ball against NBA pros everyday and enjoying free courtside seats at an elite program. Instead he’s opted to go to a CC in the middle of nowhere to pursue a low major D1 offer?!

Good lord.

He wants to play competitive basketball. He doesn't (and won't) play at UConn. It's an honor to earn a scholarship and one of the best feelings in the world when you get that letter. Right now, he's paying 60k a year to ride the bench. It's really not a surprise that he would try to pursue the highest level of basketball he can if he loves the game.

I'm guessing by this reaction you never played a competitive sport at a high level. Sitting on the bench sucks when you're someone who loves to play ball.

He can get a good degree any time, and probably get it for free if he gets a D1 scholly like he's after. Shoot, he'll get a good degree for free even if he stinks at JUCO and goes straight to D2 instead of burying himself in 200k+ of debt by the time he graduates.

1. His courtside seats were not free by any stretch of the imagination.

2. I doubt he intends to close out his career at a community college. Hence the reference to betting on himself.

People complaining about season ticket prices wouldn’t even want to even imagine how much EH paid this year for tickets
