Jalen Adams NOT testing NBA waters

This is about making a statement. He could have tested without an agent, just to experience the whole process.

Since he knew he wasn't going to the NBA anyway, he's throwing down the gauntlet and probably subtlely sending a message to those spending their time on life rafts.

Adams isn't on a single mock draft, Bentil was a fringe first round pick. Guess I should have just said nobody in Adams position has done it

Just stop your embarrassing yourself. Your excuse for lie is another made up statement to support your excuse.

This is an April Fools joke folks.:cool:

Great news and people are looking at the downside. I'd settle for casual fans right now.

The guy with the most playing time just announced his support for KO and he is by far and away the most important player we needed for next season. This could be 2013 2.0. The kids who bleed Husky Blue are staying and will be the nucleus for a positive future.

Now go to work coaches and reel in some winners.

Exactly, the four most important players returning are Adams, Larrier, Gilbert, and Vital.

Also of note: this will be the first time since 2014 that we are going to return our best player from the previous year. That seems significant.

Next year, from day one there won't be any doubt who the alpha dog is.

Adams is the next Kemba/Shabazz.

Nobody has gone from nowhere near a draft board, to a draft without an agent, to leaving lol just chill out man

This is the first thing you think about with this news. At least acknowledge he's coming back and he has a good relationship with KO before going to point Z.

I just don't see how everyone can say Ollie doesn't develop players and then be happy our best player turns down an opportunity for a good chunk of help in developing his game

I understand your point but after a week with transfers and a recruit announcing he wants a release Jalens announcement is extremely positive to the program. It makes recruiting players to fill the voids a lot easier if the coaches can let those recruits know there is zero chance he's leaving. Not to mention that not every player is dissatisfied with KO.

Sheesh, a lot of my and I in that statement. Eight in total. Somebody teach him the value of we.

In all seriousness, though, this is exactly what you'd want from your leader. He and the rest of the holdovers are clearly mad and ready to prove something next season. I really think this team is going to be a lot better than people think.
 
UConn performs its best when there are low expectations and players are angry.
That's fine, people can leave the program. I'll take Jalen Adams and Kevin Ollie vs. the world.
Ten toes in.

Now let's just fill out this damn roster.

Huh, Kemba was a terrible 3PT shooter in college

Jalen needs to be a PG, a 6-2 2 with avg shooting ability, can't defend will not be a big time NBA player

He's not even considered a top 100 prospect, so no idea what he'd be exploring exactly

He can do and D Ham and make $15k in the D league playing in front of 100 people

Love this kid. He works on his 3 pt shot in the off season and comes back hitting them the way Kemba and Bazz did watch out...

Things seem horrible right now with all these defections and instability but if we're being honest if there was no defections other than Jalen leaving we would absolutely be in worse shape. Now it's times to fill out the roster with good players.

If given the choice between losing Jalen or losing MAL/Enoch/Vance I'd take what happened every time
 
awfuldan said:
Hell yeah. I love Jalen. He's the real deal.

"My teammates and I have unfinished business"

That's the exact attitude I want these dudes to have going into next year. Focused and angry and ready to go.

This is a reply on Jalens instagram... That's Devon Daniels I think who's one of Vance's good friends
 
Jalen gets it....with all this nonsense going on, it's a breath of fresh air that there are sensible, professional minds out there at that age.
Jalen's actions will be rewarded come judgement day and and his mojo will shine when it's his turn.
Jalen will be on that wall!
 
I think what ever this team roster looks like they need to go over seas this summer to play somewhere. This would help get a better start to the season come November.
