Howard transfer R.J. Cole visits Alabama, UConn is next scheduled visit

[MDHuskFan]

He and his family have told additional schools that they’re not entertaining further offers at this point. Hopefully the staff has a productive talk with R.J. today!

Today? Thought this was pushed to Memorial Day weekend?

 

[Husk04ies]

He's definitely there today....

Smooth.

Would he have any basis for requesting a waiver to play next year or are we going in fully expecting him to sit?

Unfortunately, I think we can fully expect him to sit a year.

Although i'd like the help next year, love the jump that players make in a year of sitting out

 

[Pgh2Storrs]

This feels like a rather positive development. Close it, Danny

I know many expect Gilbert to leave, but the thought of a Gilbert, Cole, Sophomore Bouk/Gaffney and Junior B Adams backcourt is pretty exciting.

Doomed.

wasn't there a rule the NCAA passed that allowed transfers to play right away? or was that just being talked about?

Only very specific cases like freshman who's coach quit and were enrolled in summer school classes or something

NJHoops= Bob Hurley Sr. (at least that’s what I like to think in my head every time he posts)

He joined right after Hurley was hired....

R.J.’s focus right now is the UConn and Alabama offers and workouts with NBA teams, likely just local ones like the Celtics over the weekend, There’s no illusion of him being drafted, but it’s nice to get to play in front of NBA eye start on him. Today was a good time to check-in, since the original had to be moved.

 

[HawkHusky]

Well she is a woman.

So Mrs. Hurley?

Any request out of Storrs is thrown out by the NCAA

 

[Walker11]

So Mrs. Hurley?

I am going on a limb and guessing it is a woman who is a basketball fan.
