Jalen Adams and Sid Wilson - Violation of Team Rules

Be interesting to see how this plays out since Hurley mentions in the Courant piece that fhis could be longer thhan a day or 2 thing. Maybe Dan Hurley is posturing a little bit but he deosn't seem to be the kind of guy that postures for anything; pretty cut & dry with him...
 
Here's hoping JA finds something deep within to have a great senior season. Having that 3/4 court shot v. Cincinatti as his signature moment would be kinda sad.

UConn MBB has been a dumpster fire for a couple of years and is trying to return to it's former level of consistent high success.
Part of that effort is successfully recruiting high-level players.
We are awaiting a decision from one of these prospects and doing our best to impress another on-campus right now.
The team member our head coach states is our best player is suspended for the team's first scrimmage for violating team rules.
Simply a terrible scenario to demonstrate to these prospects, what JA does affects his teammates and UConn MBB, sadly this is solely on JA and could have consequences beyond the effect on this season.

I would argue to the contrary that this is a great scenario for recruiting for UConn MBB. Sends message to potential recruits that they’re not going to be treated special just because they’re a high # recruit. We probably don’t want the ones that expect special treatment.

Maybe Al will be team leader this year?

Seems time to pass the baton in the leadership department. Adams will be a key player, but maybe he just isn't suited to be a leader. Disappointing, but for a team desperate to turn the page on an era of zero accountability and coaching, you have to get this right.

Leaders don't need to be designated by having batons passed to them. People naturally rally to them.

I wouldn't count out CV on being a leader this year. At least a vocal leader off the court

Yes, I agree with this. I guess what I mean is, it's time to give up on expecting Adams to suddenly emerge as the leader of a tough, disciplined team. Let them gravitate to Gilbert.

Stop with the 2013 Ollieisms.

Lol, you'll have to show me where Ollie said that, but if he did he'd be right.
 
It's quite entertaining seeing the overlap between the people who rallied behind FR Jalen after he chewed out the previous coach and the people criticizing his lack of leadership now.

Wow. JA has consistently proven to lack maturity. Part of me wonders if next season we will witness an addition by subtraction. I understand that may sound crazy because of his undeniable ability, but you can't have a guy setting the tone like this. We need guys who want to win and work hard, and JA doesn't seem to understand how to do that and follow basic rules of conduct.
 
Soooo many overreactions right now. How anyone thought that Coach Hurley would flip Jalen like a switch is beyond me. Changing attitude is a process, this is a step in that process. Things that might have normally flew in the old system will not fly now. I'll wait to pass judgement until I see how JA responds. Will he take it to heart, make a change, and be another great--not good-- UConn guard? I hope so

That's true.
You continue to post content that confirms my choice to Ignore you.

There are so few in this category, that I couldn't resist the temptation to see who it was. You are right at the intersection of never disappointing by always disappointing. It's a gift.

Agree generally, but it is a fair question to ask. Reminds me of back in the day when Mike McKay showed up five minutes late to practice. Perno called him out on it and McKay walked out. Next day, McKay showed up 10 minutes late and Perno didn't say a word. Accountability is key for any organization.

Change of culture is never easy and often takes an example to take hold. Hopefully it won't take more than one.

Wasn’t Bentley his coach at Harding? I can’t imagine McKay getting away with that in high school.
