Enoch is transferring

IMO- He speaks to his people, they advise him this is a guard oriented program now and if he wants to develop and get the ball consistently he needs to go some where else.

I'm not worried about whats going on behind the scene because the Benedict is fed up with this Blue Blood program being an average team in the AAC. Moore and Miller should go. I like DK and if you watch games Ollie really only talks to DK.

good bye. potential??? LOL. if you thought enoch was good/had potential to be good, literally WHAT were you watching? "Oh he had a few good moves down low and scored 8 points sometimes for us." Did you watch the kids body language?? Talk about dazed and confused. He looked like he had ZERO interest in being out there, and literally looked like a deer in headlights. Thanks for wasting our time Steve, go play at Hofstra, where your mind can wander about other things other than basketball. What a waste. Pathetic. Potential....lmao. Thats too funny.

This (Edit, not the what a Waste and all that, you're right thats being a just the dear in highlights). He never knew when to set a pick or go down low. He'd walk around with little idea of where he needed to be on offense.

Maybe that's more big man coaching as well....I noticed that no one knew when they were supposed to set picks so maybe not his fault.

We could've used TSam the last two years. And unless we land a postgrad, my guess is we could end up using Enoch next year.

This blows.

TSam is on the market...

"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.

Except that wasn't the quote and cobb is depth that was needed anyway

How is not knowing when to set a pick a big man coaches fault? Is he asleep during practice? They must run their sets OVER and OVER and OVER. How can he not know?
 
Things are a Trainwreck/ Titanic with our program. Less than 24 hours ago I heard one of our top guards could be gone and another player also. Heard another coach or two could be gone in the next 2 weeks.

I am not bulllshiting ask BFieldHusky, i Pm some of this today to him...

You're an . That's all.
 
Call me cold hearted but losing Travis and Glen Miller is precisely the shake-up we need.

Enoch leaving is a kick to the nuts. Next year looks grim. If we need to take yet another step back to take many steps forward so be it. I can suffer til this tshow is sorted out
 
Look I really dislike this transferring in and out over playing time but it happens and in this case it was appropriate. Been a while since I've seen a guy getting regular playing time at UConn who was so over his head. We were practically begging for front court player and he couldn't stay on the floor. The idea that he is some great offensive machine is simply belied by his stats. If Cobb is simply slightly below average all around player we are in better shape. If he is just adequate defensively and as a rebounder we are ahead of the game.

Yeah. I've made my argument in other threads that he'd be a useful pick-up if we can't find someone else for the spot. We really do need to carry a 5th guard.

But even so, he won't be as useful next year as he could've/would've been the last two.
 
Enoch wasn't very good and no one on the staff made him any better....which makes him pretty much like every UConn big man since Ollie took over.

Now, Enoch is gone and we're replacing him with thin air and expecting the same coaching staff to figure it out? We were already walking on a tightrope with the front court and now we've thrown away the balance pole.

Don't stand under the wire next season.
 
Think the more important question here is...is this a shake up by Ollie and Benedict? Or are these people leaving by their own accord. I don't like where this is headed...I hope KO isn't losing control of the ship...

Cant' say which players? I believe you...just curious...
 
You guys go to games and watch what happened ? It tells a lot more than what you see on TV.

When Enoch was on the floor and UConn was defending near their own bench Ollie would literally have to coach Enoch for full possessions . Point to areas of the floor to stand. Everything . It was like watching a coach in a tee ball game positioning kindergarteners.

This is a high division 1 college player.

I like Steve and I think he has some skills.

Not a good fit for the way KO wants to play. We will be fine .

We're asking you. I always welcome your insight, but please why bring this up if you can't provide more detail.
 
Next year or two is a pivotal point in this programs history. I feel the next two years are basically make or break for us for the near future. I'm also an Ollie supporter, BUT if he is losing control of the program and the ship is sinking and there are major behind the scenes problems then he has to go. You can't keep him, if he is losing control of the program, out of loyalty.

Would be shocked if we are coming back with the same coaching staff next year and without more added to the frontcourt. Luckily the people in charge aren't like most on this board. I have faith they know our problems are deeper than some flukey injuries.

Do you have any specific insight into this? Or did 1 kid transferring and 1 tweet lead you to post this?
Expand ...
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.
