Former Huskies - December

[FreeKlaiber]

Maybe that's why it didn't get much play at all. I just remember being absolutely dumbfounded that it could actually happen again.

Id love to see a "he wore THAT jersey????" thread. I could've sworn I started one years ago.

Jerry Rice was a Bronco for like 10 seconds.

OK, back on track, I would be hard-pressed to think of a single transfer that evokes a feeling of "the one that got away."

Some guys have had decent careers elsewhere, but I can't think of any where both:
1) their performance was significantly better at a new school, and
2) we didn't have a better replacement to take their spot

Yes, Carlton was better with Houston than he was here, but not as good as Sanogo. Curtis Kelly was behind Thabeet and we had capable backups.

Gilbert, Floyd, etc., needed a change of scenery and we had better guys coming in.

Watched a few minutes of VCU-South Florida in the second half and Nowell struggled and got a quick hook. Airballed a 3 that was short by about three feet, turned it over, and turned his head on D and got lost for a dunk and a sub went to the table to get him. Ended up with a short 3-minute shift.

He did make a 3 in the first half and got a couple boards in more extended run - when starting PG (Lewis) sat with two fouls. Didn’t watch that part. Had a first half live ball TO that led to a USF fast break layup.

Ended with a line of 3-4-1 (1-2 FG) with 3 turnovers in 15 minutes. For the year in six games, 5.5 ppg, 1.1 apg (7 assists and 7 turnovers in about 80 minutes), and 4-15 from 3.

He may get more chances in this 3 in 3 days tourney and hope he makes the most of them - he’s clinging to a spot on the edges of their rotation.

I remember being really bummed that we lost Enoch and Juwan Durham, as I thought both had tons of talent. Enoch turned into a 9-5 guy for pretty good Louisville teams and even showed a decent 3-point touch. A guy like him would be a good player in our system under Dan Hurley. Durham became a solid player for Notre Dame, but injuries robbed him of his potential.

Mahaney with 26 yesterday in an OT win over Long Beach State (7-16, 1-5 3FG, 11-11 FT). Missed the 3 to win at the end of regulation but started OT with a bucket. Had 3 assists and 2 turnovers.

Nowell with just 5 minutes tonight in a lopsided win over Samford (2 points, 1 assist). A quick 3 minute shift in the first half and the final 2 minutes of garbage time (when he had a layup). They played a lot of guys - but he was their 11th man.

Earlier this week: Abraham with a solid 11 on 4-7 in 18 minutes of a win over UMBC. Adams was 3-12 for 12 points (2-4 on 3s, 4-6 on FTs) with two assists and one TO in a win over Wagner.

love love love Calhoun, Frankenstein-like, incredulously walking onto court perplexed/about to choke out Roscoe

There was the Scott Burrell full court pass and "The Shot" by Tate George. Then there was the full court Rosco Smith "What the Sh#*t!?!?" heave.

I miss Cam

I miss Cam

But this is his brother.

But this is his brother.

LOL, just saw the face and the manic yelling, didn’t bother reading.

I watched this clip 5 times in a row and every time I burst out laughing looking at Coach Calhoun, LMFAO. What Roscoe did was so comically stupid, LOL. There were UConn players and employees in the bench area with their hands on their heads with the absolutely dumbfounded expression.

 

[gsmooth]

Aidan Mahaney is a perfect 9-9 from the field including 6-6 from 3 and has 24 points against Cal State Bakersfield.

 

[Scrutineer]

Doug Wrenn is one of my favorite UConn players ever, even though he did relatively little good while here. I randomly found a news report on him last year where he completely turned his life around after some legal issues, and I think he was pursuing his doctorate in Sociology.

I understand he's going through grad school on a shoe scholarship........😎

 

[Scrutineer]

Acaden Lewis is having a nice year.
13+ P, 5.7 A and only 1.7 TO per game

 

[Shamon30]

Roumoglou is averaging around 3 ppg and 4 rpg. His 3 point shot just isn't falling, but he's 89% from 2. Chris Mooney, the Richmond coach, constantly rotates guys in and out. Even starters aren't really getting starter minutes. In many games, all 5 starters are on the bench before the under 16 timeout.

AR's defense and rebounding are much improved. His assist numbers aren't where they are due to bad passes - his teammates are often blowing wide-open looks. Overall, his numbers don't tell the full story. He's not a star, but he's a very serviceable role player for Richmond and brings an Isaiah Whaley style energy when he's on the court.
