Enoch is transferring

[sledog]

I've been away, and may have missed something. But who the hell is Cobb?

 

[UConnNick]

Put me down in the "this sucks" category. He would have been good next year.

Based on what? The guy couldn't guard a lawn chair.

He is the next Swanigan.

 

[UConnNick]

I blame the AAC for all of this

Nah, it's all "Johnnie Time" Selvie's fault.

 

[sledog]

I suppose now would be a good time to ask if Diarra is actually going to play next season.

Good Q. In a palace revolt, the sick and infirm are easy targets. Who knows??

 

[Ewekon]

Any interpreters want to take on this one? From Rodney who will never play another game with us? This scares me more than SE leaving.

Kid was in over his head and the fan base expected too much from a kid with "potential" from Norwalk was going to deliver. Tall and muscular does not a center make.

He is the only one saying it about Alterique, as far as I can tell. Worth noting that we've just started getting crystal ball picks for Blake Harris – a 4-star PG who decommitted from Washington – who would be our 4th PG on next year's roster should Jalen and AG return, and MAL honor his commitment.

So... go ahead and connect whichever dots you see in whatever way you see.[/QUOTE]

Let's hope Raphael Chillious does come in and the staff re-recruits Alterique, if indeed he's thinking of leaving.

I don't think 4 pg on the roster is a bad thing. Our best teams have always had two on the court at once. Jalen will leave in a year. This gives us the chance to play 3 at 30 mpg and develop a 4th so that we can maintain the 2 pg system the following year.

Departures of Enoch and Vance are potential positives, don't think they really fit the style of play Ollie wants to run.

I have to believe that AG may have a questionable future due to consistent injuries. Love his hustle and all around play. However the coach/staff have to question gambling away the future so recruit another PG and let the competition chips and health issues fall where they may.

Did the 7-0 Bomba (?) wind up elsewhere?

 

[Ewekon]

Time to reload...Wish Steve the best of luck, but the program needs to move forward. Diallo is the man, Durham needs to bulk up. I still have faith with the rest coming back, still think this will be a good team. Not sure how much PT Enoch would have gotten next year. I know we need a center, but definitely need a center that can play D and rebound.

Diallo is playing for Kentucky next year. Jeezus.

 

[sledog]

He is the next Swanigan.

You mean that 6-8 300 lber at Purdue? What are his stats?

 

[Jaker]

Diarra is going to be a stud for us.

 

[Hungryhusky99]

Diarra is going to be a stud for us.

I hope so, but don't expect much this year at all.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Chillious is a vicious, national recruiter. This would be something else.

If so, hypothetically another assistant either takes over Miller's supposed big man responsibilities or perhaps also departs enabling hiring a successful big man coach.

Both Killings & Chillious have history/background working with big men.

"...make the league."? What league would that be?

Yeah, I get it. They all think they should be in the NBA. At some point, somebody needs to bring these guys back down to earth. Maybe show him some video of how every time he replaced Brimah in a game it became an uncontested freeway to the basket for layups by the opponents.

Nope, ppl here thought that in another year, Enoch would be a lottery pick. I wish I were joking.

Same people that think AB is a first rounder?

 

[intlzncster]

At the same time, Facey and Durham shot under 50% from the field. But to each their own, I was high on Enoch throughout high school and his time here. Call me bitter to see him leave like this I guess.

Only can move forward though. Hopefully Diarra comes in and is a stud. Or someone idc who.

Durham gets a hard pass for this year, coming off two ACLs and barely playing for 2 years. I don't even think that's an argument. We'll actually be able to see what we have in him next year. This year was literally just dipping the toes in the water to test the temperature.

Who's Enoch?

seriously, think about it.

The Miller news is way more board worthy.

"Figuratively" you mean, but I gave you a like anyway

 

[InKembaITrust]

I don't understand why some are freaking out over Steve leaving.

Sure might have been a little potential there, but i have a hunch the guy isn't going to pan out. Defense just wasn't there and was a step too slow on every possession.

We'll have 3 wings next year with great size for their position, and if Durham pans out I'm thinking we'll forget about Steve real quick...

I'm not worried in the slightest, wish the kid luck

I certainly don't agree with the people who said that, but there were people who viewed Enoch that way outside of the insane BY posters

I suppose this isn't a tomato tomahto thing.

I think people are more worried about the other rumors that were being floated. It does leave a hole at the five though. It will be either a JUCO guy or true freshman now...

Rothstein's not a bad dude at all, but he's quite...exuberant, shall we say, vis a vis MCBB.
