Larrier turning pro at end of season

Captbluefin said:
Larrier is going to be a grad transfer to a big P5 school..,He has never said going Pro..




We are sinking for sure.. We have not hit
Rock Bottom yet..

Next year has potential for a disaster I am afarid..
Expand ...

Big P5 school...where is this coming from?
 
You don’t think a P5 team who is a contender wouldn’t take a flyer on Larrier to fill a spot ?? I do

Hope the kid makes some money. He wore/wears the uniform i respect that.

That's where I'm at, too. He needs another year in my opinion, but it is what it is. The road for him will be harder through Europe or the G League.

Best of luck to Terry. Let's do everything we can to get Jalen to stay now...
 
LIuconn said:
Good luck to him. He (presumably?) has his undergrad degree. Another year at his age dividing time between school and hoops is pointless. Focus on the craft, get better and chase the dream.

I don't understand people knocking him so much. He's a young man playing basketball for us with a broken face on a dumpster fire team. Go get yours, Terry!

It's embarrassing how bad posters are in this thread, like whiny little brats when things don't go their way.

Kid is graduating from UConn. Tore his ACL. Never got into trouble. He has some skills that can be useful to pro teams, that much is obvious. why anyone thinks he should stay for a 5th year of college, after graduation, when he's already 23, and the team will be no better next year!

Jeez, wish him good luck.

“I think such a team would...” —> “Larrier is going to be”

I’m not seeing how the leap is made.

Players with flaws don’t deserve fan support. Read the bylaws.
 
Look, Larrier has been a complete zero at UConn. Injury played a big role obviously but he spent 3 years here and was basically a waste of a scholarship. Go pro, be a grad transfer, whatever......I already forgot he was ever here.
 
Starting 5

PG : “The unknown shoulder”
SG: transfer from Middlesex CC ???
Wing: Sid Wilson
PF: Kwintin Williams
C: The big Russian

The 20+ point loss record is definitely in jeopardy next year again.
 
good luck, but to me, it's a failed project. he came in with a big reputation and we were all looking forward to him being a world beater for us. had all the tools to be a hit. but now, we see it as addition by subtraction.

I wish Larrier the best of luck. He has played selfish since he arrived at UCONN. His intention was to turn Pro after last season but he got injured. I questioned his shot selections last season. Addition by subtraction... I have said it many times, he needs to go after this season.

In defense of Larrier, you couldn't be more wrong. In fact, I am embarrassed for you.

I wish him well in the future. Having coached a lot of kids, not everyone has a killer instinct. If he had Vital’s aggression then everyone would be singing a different tune. Ollie (or new coach ) needs some shooters and some bulldogs.

I'll say it again. There will be MORE players staying at UCONN if we have new coach versus KO staying.
Expand ...
Exactly, word has it, if KO is actually kept on for another year the fallout will be huge. Our best course of action is to let KO go and hopefully negotiate a reduced buyout. It's our only way forward
 
I wish Terry the very best and thank him for becoming a Husky. Given that he will have gra, I think this is a smart move for him. I think he has more to offer than we’ve seen and should have a nice career somewhere.
 
Larrier is a very good basketball player that came to UConn and had nothing but bad luck. Don't confuse talent/ability with a horrible offense.(coaching) As I said in another post, he is the best pro prospect on this roster, Jalen Adams included.

I’m tired of the players with the AAU attitude of leaving immediately if the coach doesn’t kiss their feet.

I am sorry we don't watch the same game. I wish the kid well but we're a team that plays much harder on defense without him on the floor. He shoots the ball everytime he touches it on offense or turns the ball over. I would prefer to loose by 20 playing with heart and effort than watching selfish basketball and no effort on defense. I have said it many times in previous posts that he needs to turn pro after the season. Matter fact the joke was on me when I said he needs to turn pro. I was saying that in a nice way that his time was up at UCONN.

Maybe he’ll play for Danny hurley at Arizona.

He's not a one-and-done. He's 23, and ready to get paid, wherever it may be. What were you doing at 23?

Same thing was said about Purvis last year. And then we got this year's product. OOOOOOPPPPPSS!

And, for that matter, same thing was said about Deandre Daniels in February of 2014. He was crucified here in early February. The threads are still up.

We can have different opinions. Maybe I misconstrued the tone of your original post. I read it more as a bashing than being sincere. I apologize for that. As far as the game, TL forces things because he has to. This team is so inept that he knows he has to score every time down. TL isn't the cause of our demise, he is a result of it. I feel really bad for his two years here. It should have gone differently.

You must be his father. Thanks for choosing UCONN, sorry it didn't worked out. Good luck to y'all,
 
If kids like Whaley or Carlton are leaving, then I don't know what to say, but... the grass certainly isn't always greener.

I will only be bummed if Jalen leaves.

Mass exodus? Ummmm, who are you talking about? Whaley? Carlton? Polley?

The grass is not always greener.

I promise you I have no relation. In fact, I never even met the kid.
