Lubin Transferring

[BUConn10]

So this is the board meltdown that Zionn prophesied?

 

[superjohn]

This is good for Rock and for UConn. I like the kid and as someone mentioned, Georgia State would be a great landing spot.

 

[superjohn]

When their coach leaves for a better school this year will there be any appeal to Georgia State? Probably part of the reason his son is turning pro.

RJ Hunter is going pro because he's a guaranteed first round draft pick.

Obviously not.

 

[UCFan1513]

We should replace him with Justin McBride

I really agree with the post early that now u can potentially take one of those 3-star pg or if brown reclassifies u now can take him AND the necessary 3 pt marksman and banger. While I had hopes for Rak, this really is good for him and the program as it gives the staff tremendous flexibility.

 

[Flahuskie]

Why is everyone assuming he will end up at a mid major? Did his mother or the Rock tweet that?

 

[king conn]

I'm thinking maybe they have something concrete with Shonn Miller?

 

[Matrim55]

I hope he lands at an SEC schools and kicks the hell out of UK at least once. Good luck to the kid wherever life takes him.

It's huskie not husky!

 

[businesslawyer]

do you ever give it a rest? I think everyone is aware of that without you rattling off one miserable post after the other.

Not to mention, wtf does his post have to do with Lubin transferring? Like our roster would have been o.k. if just Lubin stayed?

Good luck to the young man.

I was hoping he was transferring to the football team. He'll probably end up at All America defensive end for Georgia.

 

[RichZ]

I liked Rock, and would have liked to see him get some more playing time. I'm sure he would have liked to have gotten more PT too, and that's likely the reason for the decision to move on.

Good luck Rock, wherever you end up.

Lubin appeared to be catching on as a fan favorite when on the court. I'm disappointed to see him leaving.

 

[CallMeBruce]

That's on him though to a point. He should believe he can take Enoch, Facey and Nolans minutes if he has a good summer. But I don't blame him.

What reason would he have to think that? Nolan was entrenched despite producing nearly nothing all year.

 

[The Funster]

Good luck Rakim.

He was entrenched because he did things others can't and didn't do. Not sure you watch anything but the box score but he was a better option than Rock most of the time.

Is that the go-to insult around here? You disagree with me, therefore you don't watch the games? You think I'm on here all day posting about basketball, but I don't watch any?

Nolan sucked out loud most of the season. He was slightly less terrible at the end of the year, but he was a pretty strong negative most of the season. He wasn't as bad as his stats would suggest (they would suggest he's not a D1 player, let alone a high-major D1 player), but he was definitely a bad player. That Lubin couldn't steal any of those minutes was evidence that there wasn't any realistic path to him getting on the court regularly. Adding another player to the mix pretty much guaranteed that Lubin wasn't getting minutes next year, and there was no positive attitude that was going to change that. If he ever wants to be so much as a rotation player, he needs to be somewhere else.

 

[noeynox]

He brought toughness. Would push back when he was in there. I liked him and was hopeful he could develop over four years. All the best to him.

 

[Tenspro2002]

This was predictable as soon as he signed the LOI -- he was never a UConn-caliber player, even with our frontcourt talent as badly diminished as it is.

Wish him luck in the Sun Belt or wherever he ends up.

 

[CTKIDD]

Man I'm bummed about this. I really thought with a good summer he could of had played himself into some good minutes next year. Good luck kid

Classy. Don't understand all these posters taking shots at Lubin as he's transferring.

I am firmly of the opinion that most who KNOCK Nolan don't know the Interior Positioning required to be a Division One basketball player. Nolan was someone you could consistently count on. Facey - not really. Lubin leaving makes me sad; because I believe he could be developed into something solid with UConn.

 

[scrappy2.0]

He wasnt as tall in shape or athletic as I thought he was off watching his high school games but he was a tough kid who could help any team. He needs to really lose 25 pounds and take a look at his body in HS and get back there. I think he could be a surprise get for a mid major and three years of cultivating--he should be a nice piece for someone.

You don't? What, are you new?
