Enoch is transferring

[UConnfan8]

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

Your not helping yourself much by quoting Rothstein........from October 2016..................before the season started. Lol.

Even I thought Enoch would be a pro last summer......

 

[UConnfan8]

Who's Enoch?

seriously, think about it.

The Miller news is way more board worthy.

Yup.

 

[huskymagic]

The better question is why would Enoch leave when he should expect to be a starter based on whose returning and who has the most experience of the big men. Some reporters are saying minutes,which means Enoch was told he wouldn't be getting many minutes because Ollie is playing small or the other big men would be ahead of him on the depth chart.

Ollie needs to correct this notion that he is only a guards coach or we wont get any good big men going forward with Ollie at the helm. This notion that he is a great guards coach implies that he neglects the bigs and it shows with how our bigs have played and have been utilized. It's the head coach who implements and develops players primarily not assistants.

We need Durham and Mamadou to pan out or we are in trouble with big men recruiting going forward.

The boneyard doesn't speculate on players transferring, except in this thread dedicated to speculating on players transferring

Rules are rules except for when they aren't.

 

[mauconnfan]

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

Is that all they have "working with big men"? I mean it would seem to me by reading on the BY you need I'm a BIG MANS coach tattooed somewhere on your body.

Note the date stamp on that quote...before this past season started, so it's only based on watching Enoch as a freshman.

 

[mauconnfan]

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

That's hilarious what other boards do you read? I never saw that here once. Remind me of those people so we can hang them?

 

[Waquoit]

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

But before that, he couldn't guard a mailbox. Guys get better. He was getting better.

I mean I stated clearly in that post that it wasn't me who ever believed he was a lottery pick. Just that for some reason people outside of UConn also believed that

 

[Travelman6]

Good.

Better than stringing the team along for another year.

Bye and NO, I don't wish you luck. You quit on this team, why should fans NOT quit on you. Good riddance. The players that quit before 2014 are probably regretting at least a little...hope he does too. No ill will but also, I refuse to feel anything positive or wish well about this.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Ollie values upper classmen over the underclassmen.

that's why he played Phil over Brimah and that why he played Brimah/Facey over Enoch.

If the front court depth wasn't pretty much non-existent, this wouldn't be such an issue. But it is.

 

[UCweCONN]

If he reads the Boneyard, that might've had something to do with his decision. You need to play on both sides of the ball. We need to stop bringing in project big men. When you're a 6'9" man-child and only score 15 pts a game in your senior year in high school (despite being Gatorade Player of the Year), you're not exactly going to dominate against strong D1 competition. Fairfield would be a good fit for him.

 

[Danzz]

husky99 is saying AG and VJ are leaving. Is he credible? Have a serious love hate for this stupid message board

Yes, very credible.

 

[Walker11]

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

Tyler Olander never quite fulfilled that Troy Murphy comp.

 

[Travelman6]

If he reads the Boneyard

He does not read the boneyard. I am sure of that. The BY is filled with a handful of folk that could pass as a decent HS coach or very average D3 team coach but mostly just armchair coaches.

 

[Glastonhusky]

Benedict

Not sure if I like that. I'd prefer that KO be the one to make the decisions about his staff. What do you think JC would have done if Jeff Hathaway started telling him who to put on his staff?

 

[Stinger92860]

Did Facey improve that much or did he just have more opportunities?

Both, but to me his minutes helped a lot.

 

[Stinger92860]

I have been hearing that / was hoping Enoch was persuadable

If you had been hearing that you would have told us, lol.

Enoch's father said Steven told him that Ollie's guard oriented system is not a good fit. Didn't develop as much as they both hoped.

Well if the team tried to get more scoring from their centers then the offense would have looked even worse than it was and they would have struggled to score 40 points a game.

The guard oriented system wasn't the problem for the centers, it was the lack of skill of the centers. If they had an Emeka Okafor believe me they would have gotten him the ball.

UGGH- next rumor is Tremont Waters will come here because JTIII will be named as an assistant head coach by KO

What have you heard?

 

[Dove]

Same people that think AB is a first rounder?

No, the ones that thought Rodney was a Lottery pick.

This makes sense to me. He wants to develop and it's a weakness of the staff and the system that big men have made little progress under KO.

You could put x's on the floor and told the guy to go back on defense and stand there with you arms up and that would be playing better defense than whatever Enoch played this year by quite a bit. Granted Ollie has not killed it with developing big men but having an elementary concept of defense would not have killed Steve....
