Enoch is transferring

[Penfield]

But yeah the 5 is going to be more of an adventure for the foreseeable future. Brimah stunk at times but you might just start to appreciate what he did here when next season unfolds without him.

We will definitely miss his defense. Wont have the safety net there to make up for mistakes.

Freeman gone? Getting Emeka

Freeman is not a coach.

Freeman gone? Getting Emeka

A real big man coach is needed. Emeka could be great.

 

[Penfield]

Glen Miller to GTown confirmed.

 

[Yankees32123]

Damn, that's tough. He has so much potential. I can see him finding a spot on an A-10 caliber team.

 

[BUConn10]

Bad bad sign.

This program has so much turnover lately, and not the good kind of turnover where you put bodies in the NBA, the kind of turnover where guys don't pan out, transfer out, and leave us coming off an underachieving season now trying to scramble to fill in the late exit with whatever recruiting scraps are left at the end of the particular class cycle.

This rebuild just got set back.

 

[CTBasketball]

Do you blame him? He saw zero progression out of himself and other bigs.

Smart move getting out of this front court cesspool.

 

[navery12]

interesting. Wonder what the coaching change might be. Dont really see Moore leaving and Killings just joined. Is he referring to the strength coach?

That's the only thing I can think of is the strength coach. Any other coach doesn't make much sense unless AD Dave wants a big shakeup

 

[tcf15]

Stinks (especially being a local kid).

Didn't Ollie recently say he will be one of UConn's best centers ever?

IIRC the quote was he would be one of the best offensive big men at UConn and that he needs to get better on the defensive side of the ball.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

I get the feeling there's more changes to come.

I just hope we're not talking complete overhaul, either on the coach or player front. We've had way too much player turnover in the last few offseasons.

Emeka isn't a coach and the days of using UConn basketball as a jobs program for former UConn players isn't working.

 

[hardcorehusky]

This one will haunt us. They tried to get him to stay and he left anyway.

Now, on to the deadwood on the staff....

How do you know they tried to get him to stay?

 

[UConnStats]

It's too bad, but he could use a redshirt year and is young enough to pull that off.

Let's hope Carlton is legit and they can make something out of Cobb.

 

[August_West]

We are not allowed to speculate specifically about transfers, but I think I can say safely that I dont believe its over yet. One more maybe.

Because I know they tried to get him to stay? Probably because they have one center on the roster and they thought losing him was a bad thing.

 

[navery12]

Count me among the group not worried. Would have loved Enoch here and I wish him the best wherever he ends up.

But now the question is can we find someone who can at least equal Enoch's contributions for the upcoming season alone. I think between some decommits or grad transfers we can find someone to come in and give us good minutes next season. And then KO and staff hit the recruiting trail hard to get a good big in 2018

 

[Silk31]

Hopefully this isn't the first domino to fall in terms of transferring/leaving....

 

[CGarr]

Glen has recently taken up an interest in open coaching jobs. Hm.

 

[crazyUCfan23]

Hopefully this means Enoch knows something we don't and we're about to land a big time big man recruit or grad transfer.

 

[CTBasketball]

"Steve will be one of the best centers ever in UConn history."

A week later KO signs a JUCO big because "we have a rebounding problem."

How is this confusing to people? The writing was on the wall.

 

[polycom]

This seems like the Lubin treatment situation....

No.

 

[BUConn10]

I am very worried about what's happening behind the scenes right now.
