Joel Ntambwe (UNLV Transfer)

[UconnU]

Let’s hope this UNLV “insider” is correct.

Next year really doesn’t matter, it’s just building the talent base.

Next year is critical. Our fickle fan base is dwindling by the minute. It can’t really take another bad year. I’m sure Hurley has a handle on the scholarship situation

Next year won't be bad. Looking like NIT. Maybe 20 wins.

Alas, if Christian bales ( ) then NIT just might be a dream.

 

[Bonehead]

UConn doesnt have to be a member of the Big East conference to get this type of talent? Huh.

I don’t know about that. Attendance increased from last year. We do have one of the more rabid fan bases in the entire country, but 3 straight years of being sub.500 can deflate any fan bases’ energy

This concerns me because next year is not looking promising even if we add an impact grad transfer. Someone earlier said we’re a 20 win team next year, I don’t see it we’re still a year or two away.

The climb is frustrating but, outside of the lunatic fringe, I think most can see that we have the right coach and a staff with a plan. Winning next year would be great for our collective sanity, but I don’t think anyone is jumping ship. We’ll get there.

It doesn't even matter. Anyone who jumps off will jump back on when we are good again.

Exactly. People understand that this will take time and trust Hurley. The fan base is itching for a winner and will explode when we even sniff the tournament.

This is not unique to just UConn. Very few schools receive huge support for sustained mediocrity.

Need some good news on the recruiting front now. Duke and UK lose I’m waiting for some more!

He just checked in at airport in Detroit so visit over....

I don’t like the fact that he didn’t commit while he was here. The longer the decision process takes the more likely that it is that he stays at UNLV.

I'm quite certain nobody else does either.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Maybe he just wants to tell UNLV in person?

You said it was already a done deal lol

No I didnt.

Do you know he didn't commit? Or was it just not announced?

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Give it some time. Maybe he wants to do his own social media announcement.

I won't feel nervous unless we make it into Tuesday with no announcement

 

[StepbackCity]

Um, most guys don’t announce their commitment on their visit, btw. Bouknight and Gaffney took a few days then announced, and we all knew they were ours.

This might have already been answered but does he play right away or does he have to sit out a year? Did the NCAA pass a rule allowing players to play immediately the next season after transferring?

He will likely have to sit. Fine by me, he could use the weight room. With a full season of training the kid could be a monster
