Why not pursue waiver for Cole? We’re just so good we don’t need him?
Likely the staff figured we'd be bad to the point that it's better to save the year of eligibilityWhy not pursue waiver for Cole? We’re just so good we don’t need him?

Yeah, if he had three years left I'd say go hard for a waiver, but with only two years of a smart, "real" guard one shouldn't be squandered on whatever this isHa, you were quicker! Not a silly theory.
Could go with the Memphis strategy and play her anywaysWe just had a women's player denied for no reason even though she had legit reasons. Benedict gave a token statement but as usual UConn will take it on the chin and than wonder why their fan base is demoralized.
Cole wanted the year to sit out, learn the system and acclimate. People already seem to be making a transfer from Howard the savior. That's scary.Agreed. I’ve never understood it. We had AG and CV to go to. AG just hasn’t shown much and CV is a good player but can’t play point and is often out of control. Some argue Gaffney is the answer, but he is a baby.
Cole should be starting and leading this team in scoring and assists. Honestly, I’ve been wondering if Hurley was saving him for when his own guys were in the system.
What do you expect them to do, appeal to the Supreme Court?

He's the savior in the sense that he isn't the type of player to chuck awful 3's in the first half (Vital) or get caught in the air on a dribble drive every game without fail.

Play her. Say screw them and play her. Ala Wiseman. Fight back for once. They are not good enough to win the championship with her so nothing will be vacated that's really important.
The kid who has averaged almost 25 ppg in two seasons? Yeah he might help out...Cole wanted the year to sit out, learn the system and acclimate. People already seem to be making a transfer from Howard the savior. That's scary.
Gilbert is playing right now because the only guy behind him is a freshman with a bad ankle.He said he decided to wait for gilbert to move on, makes sense he wouldn't want to be the backup on a terrible team.

Polley is a pretty good shooter. We didn’t get him enough looks tonightOn another note, How come it seems like every team in the country has at least a couple shooters but us? When was our last reliable shooter. Giffey?
kid could (God forbid) walk outside, slip on a banana peel and be out all next year with an injury. Eligibility now is worth more than eligibility later. Made no sense to not at least try for a waiverLikely the staff figured we'd be bad to the point that it's better to save the year of eligibility
Polley is our best defender and probably our best shooter. Once Daly hit his first 3 3s Hurley should have glued Tyler to him.Polley is a pretty good shooter. We didn’t get him enough looks tonight
Akok is our best defender. Not Polley.Polley is our best defender and probably our best shooter. Once Daly hit his first 3 3s Hurley should have glued Tyler to him.
That said, he is allergic to boards and somehow fouled out while barely playing soooooo
I disagree, on both strategic and actuarial grounds.kid could (God forbid) walk outside, slip on a banana peel and be out all next year with an injury. Eligibility now is worth more than eligibility later. Made no sense to not at least try for a waiver

Head coach fired.I’m guessing because his transfer is what it looks like it is - a kid going from one school to a better school.
There’s no waiver for that and he doesn‘t have a sick grandma in Mansfield.
