Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2625809, member: 2844"] Its been said constantly that VJ was not staying on the east coast, his father wanted him nearer to the family and it is suspected that he was told that he would have to fight for the same playing time he received as a gift as a freshman. The kid, under normal circumstances, would have seen about 25% of what he did had TL been healthy. Plus the kid was a bad egg in practice and whenever he was sitting on the bench. Enoch was not going to be guaranteed starting and/or minutes and he also was a problem child - if you watched his antics on the bench during games you saw it. Durham was a kid who had plenty of D1 attention before his 1st ACL tear and then 65% of the teams left him, KO stood tall and stayed on his trail, when the kid tore it again, everyone but UConn fled - KO was true to his words. The kid saw some playing time but left KO in the lurch - he also hung around with Enoch too much and became a problem -to a lesser degree I agree KO didn't get the job done - his recruiting tactics - well in plain English - sucked But these 3 kids were a headache and wanted the world handed to them. KO should have seen it in VJ from day 1 The bigs he had this past season were the bane of all bigs that UConn has had recently - young, no meat on the bones and little skills - it was always men vs boys The new coach better get some junk yard dogs signed up real soon [/QUOTE]
