In almost all of the highlights UConn is losing. SMU, Tulsa, Cincinnati, Temple. Those were some dark days.

I mean schizophrenia doesn’t pick and choose based on character. We should withhold judgement without knowing the full storyRest in peace to the mother, first and foremost.
This is a great reminder of why I love Hurleys character scouting. He may have a couple knuckleheads, but I’ll be surprised if a Hurley recruit does something this tragic.
He would often bring the ball up like a point forward at times. It was quite a luxury. I lived him but he just couldn’t keep it together.I don't remember him at all.
My 65th birthday. It snowed.One of his best games was against Syracuse. This was the one with the epic Hurley/Jalen Adams chest bump at the end.![]()
UConn Beats No. 15 Syracuse at MSG, 83-76 - University of Connecticut Athletics
NEW YORK (AP) — Jalen Adams and Alterique Gilbert scored 16 points each to lead Connecticut to a 83-76 upset of No. 15 Syracuse in the first game of the 2K C...uconnhuskies.com
Eric had a troubled past when UConn became desperate for players after graduation and desertion and recruits backing out of commitments. Or declared ineligible. We were in a real bind . There was no portal so getting enough guys to practice guys left little other option I called them NFL replacement players .And yet they still beat Syracuse that year.
I just looked at the roster. I don't even recognize some of the names.
Perhaps Ollie was just taking a chance on Cobb and hoping he could help him. Kevin was from Compton. Calhoun took a chance with Caron and that turned out pretty well. I remember Toriano Walker from the Dream Season. He was a recruit of Calhoun. Not sure if there were any warning signs for Toriano but that story didn't end well as he was later incarcerated.This story has me really upset and sad the more I've read into it. His mother must've been so proud of him earning a basketball scholarship to a major University and it sounds like she was a really good person. There were so many warning signs though. The kid was kicked out of South Carolina partly due to an arrest and never should've been offered a scholarship by Ollie. He was suspended for 1 month at UConn for conduct detrimental to the team. He has a violent arrest history with one of the arrests assaulting a police officer.
It was just him living with his mother and neighbors said he was always violent with her and she was scared of him. She was just 51 years old and this never should've happened. It's so incredibly sad what happened to her.
Really sad..As I remember it, she was a huge backer of his, and actually came to the Boneyard
I counted 8 where UConn was up and 6 were against cupcakes. Ya, I went there.In almost all of the highlights UConn is losing. SMU, Tulsa, Cincinnati, Temple. Those were some dark days.
I have no memory of Cobb. Horrible about his mother. Just can’t fathom why he would do this.
