Enoch is transferring

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.

There is your answer, of course it's not about playing time. Enoch came in raw with tools and two years later is still raw with tools. He cares about his future and wants to make the league. He looks at himself and isn't seeing the development and looks around at other UConn big men and isn't seeing the development.

He's young and he has 6 + months to get in shape. If he wants to get it done , there's plenty of time and resources.

Yeah, I agree, but given how paper thin the 5 is right now, have your first in guy be a fitness liability is not a good thing. I'm really hoping he can do it too. You have to think Ollie made this a condition of his transfer.

Moore is a great guy to have at the end of the staff. He's got the mentality, which apparently translates on the recruiting trail and practice court.

What they need is a stud Ass. Head Coach. Tactical and Big man focused, willing to push back against Ollie.

Ricky was not the Bigs Coach that failed to develop Steve and others.
 
Like I said, kudos to Steve for realizing our frontcourt development and overall system is a giant bundle of Spartacus.

Whoever said Gilbert is leaving, that's a good one.

This sentiment that is now out there fairly or unfairly, would seemingly make it pretty difficult to recruit quality big men.

Where did I say he was?

My post clearly states that Moore is a great end of the bench assistant, and implies they should keep him. Instead of focusing on Ricky, they need to find a stud Associate HC with bigs and in-game coaching skills.

Then how do you explain Facey's development this year?
 


I'm bummed Steve is leaving.

After this season, things had to change one way or another. Seems like Benedict and Ollie are focused on the future of the program. Hope they are making the right calls.
 
To be honest, Jackson leaving would make sense. I have no information on him but you can bet Ollie will prioritize Larrier's playing time at the 3/4.

247 has a crystal ball pick for 4-star PG and former U-Dub commit, Blake Harris, to UConn. He was released from his commitment a couple of days ago following Romar's firing. Why would we be going after a PG with AG, MAL, and Jalen on the roster for next year?
 
I believe the decision was based more on retrospective evidence than prospective opportunities here.

It is very easy after a season like this for a kid (and his father) to take the stance that Enoch could have learned more going through the growing pains on the court than by watching and needing to improve his defense in order to increase his playing time.

Additionally, KO's ideal offense very likely would use the center for putbacks and as a safety valve (like DHam with Brimah) when someone is driving the lane. My guess is next year there will be 40 minutes at the five and ~25 at the four to be split between Enoch, Cobb, Diarra, Durham, Polley & Carlton. SE didn't like those numbers and I don't see LO changed to a power lineup.

SE physically and athletically can play at the highest level. His skill level/understanding of the game however is semi-competitive high school. An additional year of practice (which the transfer will give him) is the best thing for him. I wish him well.

You can play both at the same time and go 4 out 1 in. Not surprised that Vance is leaving given all of the social media nonsense during the season, but this hurts a ton more than Enoch.

Losing Enoch sucks but isn't the end of the world.

If we lose anyone else, though, we are in deep shit again
