Enoch is transferring

[Penfield]

Didn't really expect this, but I guess I can see why it is happening.

Best of luck to Steve. Hope everything works out for him.

 

[joober jones]

Call me crazy, but I really don't like this one bit.

 

[navery12]

Guess this answers the question I was about to ask from this tweet

 

[Matrim55]

Ugh. I guess that explains signing Cobb when we did.

Very disappointing. Best of luck to Steve – I hope he lands somewhere and is able to realize his full potential.

in b4 this thread goes down the pooper.

Eric Cobb starting center?

 

[Matrim55]

Eric Cobb starting center?

My guess is we're back in the market for a postgrad big man.

 

[Burnsbros23]

So we need a grad transfer center. Durham doesn't seem ready, certainly not Cobb or Carlton.

 

[FartMan69]

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.

I wish Steve luck.

he will look great on a team that is willing to overlook his complete defensive ineptitude. UConn is not that team. Defense first. Always. Its why we can win with people like Nolan and Brimah at center.

But he has a serious offensive upside skillset and I have a feeling that people watching from afar will say " hey how did he get away" without remembering that the guy would literally be turned around at times guarding people backwards on the defensive end.

 

[BlueMAB]

This sucks, he needs a lot of work on defense to stay on the floor, but he had the potential to develop into a solid big man for us. Wish him the best of luck, wherever he ends up.

So why would one transfer when you are next up for the starting spot with only 1 other player in your position?

 

[Horatio]

Good luck Enoch

 

[HooperScooper]

That stinks. I guess that's why we need a post grad eligible right away big.

The kid was given every opportunity to grab playing time and it's even more wide open next year. I guess he's not confident in his abilities. A shame.

 

[Matrim55]

In a better timeline, it was. In a better timeline he'd have taken a postgrad year, then redshirted this year, and been entering our team next season as a RS-Fr.

I hate losing Connecticut kids. I hope wherever he goes, he destroys all comers. Maybe Fairfield? That'd be sick.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Feel we should of redshirted him as a freshman

 

[freescooter]

Not surprised at all. He was a nice kid but lacked the talent to play at this level. He would be a terrific MAAC/America East player.

That's the scariest part about this. Something is off here...

 

[aceboon]

lol @ the folks responding to the tweet saying he wasn't being utilized properly.

 

[Penfield]

Guess this answers the question I was about to ask from this tweet

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

 

[Marat]

Stinks (especially being a local kid).

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

Maybe the coaching staff wasn't comfortable with that reality.

 

[Fishy]

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

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

Freeman gone? Getting Emeka

 

[B1GEast]

Totally shocked. Best of luck to the young man

 

[Penfield]

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

Freeman is not a coach.

 

[Penfield]

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.
