Makai Ashton Langford asks for Release

[superjohn]

We've moved on to Duke, you make your choices and you live with them. UConn is not letting him out of his commitment

UConn already released him. We don't kidnap kids here.

 

[Walker11]

What could that possibly be that an incoming recruit would know about? Maybe Miller told him idk

IDK either. You have open minutes galore and 2 kids who proclaimed to have UCONN as their dream school back out of scholarships in a week. Maybe it really is Miller. He seemed to the outsider like a bland goofball but this is certainly a bad week.

 

[Caronimo]

We need a statement from KO or AD David Benedict. The fan base is in shambles

 

[The Viking]

Love this Vike, well done! Let's try to be cordial this year - truce.


(yeah right)

Some day we will bump into each other at a bar and drink until the sun comes up and end up in each other's wills.
Until then, go to hell sir

 

[FriarJ]

You really don't think they're going to give him his release? Do you have anything at all to base that off of? I doubt the kid would go public with it if we said no lol

Nope, have been through this with Joseph Young. Kid put ink to paper for the Huskies. He's dead to me.

Heck, at this point, maybe Miller should have been head coach ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Proof?

 

[The Viking]

Is it OK to say now that I think he looks like Wanda Sykes?

You can say that anytime

Who? UCONN has never not given somebody their release.

 

[Kitaman]

This is what Ollie has endured since becoming HC(timeframe might not be too accurate) up until Enoch's announcement:

-post season ban announced
-Coombs, AO, Bradley, roscoe (who else am I missing) transfer
-post season ban, wolf transfers
-NC - with immediate news that NBA teams want him
-bazz, Daniels, giff, Nolan, olander leave
-recruiting restrictions
-rumors that NBA teams want him
-conference realignment talk
-Diarra, larrier, Gilbert out for the season
-Adams, Enoch, Durham, Vital all miss several games each

Two other major things happened:

1. Player/Coach Bazz left
2. Boat a Senior captain was left with a ragged team and unfortunately couldn't hold the tradition together (no fault of his)

 

[Walker11]

Proof?

The burden is not on us. Google him. Read the article on ESPN. Get some facts.

Something is the up here - not sure, but certainly different. Agree that we need some comment. Can't get by with "pay no attention to the lowering of the lifeboats"...

 

[FriarJ]

Okay, I don't care what you guys do. I care what we do. He's a Husky to me. Maybe Northeastern but that's his problem.

 

[The Viking]

Proof?

He said on his instatweetbook that he has fully opened his recruitment.
Do u seriously think UConn hasn't given him their blessing?

 

[tcf15]

Proof?

From ESPN:

Ashton-Langford said he will be looking for more of an immediate opportunity to have the ball in his hands on a full-time basis and that UConn head coach Kevin Ollie "respected the decision."

 

[FriarJ]

Really who is it on? He's either released from his LOI or he isn't

 

[The Viking]

You seem insulted he chose a 4-time national champion over Providence.
Bizarre
And I don't mean that as a knock on Providence I like what Cooley is doing there but come on

Okay, that's good enough for me. Good luck to him, but it won't be at PC I hope.

Okay, you are not Boheim so I assume you still have those trophy's? Did they take them away? Is that why he doesn't want to be there?

 

[superjohn]

He's released from his LOI. You're the one acting weird and disputing it. If you don't believe what people are telling you and want information then google it yourself, don't see how that's a strange request.

Are you drunk?

 

[Walker11]

Seems like a good time to ban a troll mods...

I was going to ask if anyone's seen a KO interview since the season ended.

 

[FriarJ]

Are you drunk?

Perceptive. Does not change the fact, I could not care less about him or where he wants to go. My point was what had changed so much to make him leave the school with 4 trophy's?

 

[80shusky]

Many folks here are making this about us. As in the program has a problem. Conflating all these different situations may be wrong. This could all be about me. Enoch is leaving for playing time. That is about me. Vance is leaving because his talents aren't being showcased in his mind, or his dad's. That is about me. MAL may be leaving for the same reasons. He's at best the fourth guard off the bench next year especially after the year Vital had. This could be about me, not us. We want kids who are about us, not about me. Don't assume it is about us, unless we find out it is about us. It could all be about me. Pour yourself a nice glass of scotch, get a good premium cigar going and take a deep breath. Whoever is on the court in the fall will be about us, not about me. Whoever they may be I'm going to cheer for them. Go Huskies!
