I have no specific insight into SE's case specifically, but when considering what I have heard from DHam and Lubin's reasons for leaving, I don't feel great about this.
It's more than "just 1 kid transferring". This is a local CT kid who said he always wanted to play at UConn, going into his junior year with the 5 spot wide open, with major emphasis on the "wide open" part. Transfers like this just don't make sense unless players are unhappy or worried about their future's as basketball players. Either way it's not a good look.
Can you elaborate on that?
As far as I could tell, D-Ham left because college wasn't for him, and Lubin wasn't good enough to play here. Was there more to it? If so, can you explain what you mean.
I'm pretty concerned about all of this. Our program has zero stability right now. Every year since 2012 basically, I feel like we just keep having to reactively throw band aids over all of these various issues.
Count me in the camp for a coaching shake-up. I took a lot of heat over it in the past, but I've been calling for Glen Miller's head for years now. I'm no insider, but it doesn't seem like he adds anything to the staff. Never hear any recruits mention him. Our big men stink. Time to move on.
So I'm just gonna assume we win the NC in 2018.
