Makai Ashton Langford asks for Release

[Sonova]

This is unreal. I don't ever wish ill will on any kids who leave the program but this is absolutely gutless.

Seriously, ALL of these kids are gutless? You don't think maybe there's a possibility that it isn't the kids who are to blame?

I think they are all following each other. Which is kind of weak

 

[superjohn]

The staff kept their word and honored his scholarship after two reconstructive knee surgeries and this is how he thanks them. I'm clearly no Ollie sycophant as my posting history has shown but this is so soft, any sign of adversity or disharmony and you run away.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

It's the worst possible thing to be stuck in this pixie stick conference.

Gonzaga's in a worse conference. How are things working out for them?

The AAC isn't a problem, it's an excuse.

What's your theory then?

This isn't mutual exclusive. It's a problem. It's also not the only or a completely debilitating problem.

There is something we aren't privy to that is occurring behind closed doors. If this goes down, we will have lost 3 transfers and a decommit in a week and 2 players will have been talked off the edge. I would have a tough time blaming the players without knowing the real deal.

 

[UCDaveD]

Yup. Just hasn't hit the wire yet. But it's done. And the other rumored guy needed to be begged off the ledge.

Who are we talking about here? PM me please.

 

[nychuskyfan]

Who are we talking about here? PM me please.

At this point you have a 50/50 chance of guessing with the prior hint that it's a big man. SMH

 

[HungryHuskies]

More bad news coming this week unfortunately. Won't say more but I'll leave a hint as Oz would. We will be in need of yet another 4/5 man.

Sheesh. This would be a big blow. Oz said no more transfers?

 

[upstater]

Can't be the guy that just pulled off the UCONN mentions on his twitter bio that is talking about wanting a home cooked meal.

That would be shocking.

How the hell many years do you want to spend NOT playing basketball?

 

[3rdbass]

Who are we talking about here? PM me please.

Just look above as the person clearly hints at it. Think bad knees.

 

[AntG168]

Sheesh. This would be a big blow. Oz said no more transfers?

He did. Maybe its a recruit...

 

[UConnStats]

Seems like just yesterday people were counting our 2018 schollies. This is why you fill them all.

I don't think Durham will ever be the player he once was. Those injuries will always be in his mind. He's lost his explosiveness.

 

[3rdbass]

What is happening with the players? Why the mass exodus(especially with the other player probably leaving and 2 more talked from the ledge)? Has KO lost the reigns of the program?

 

[GuardU]

I would have to imagine Adams will at least test the waters on NBA. We've seen lesser talent walk. This could get extremely ugly. And we thought playing with 7 healthy remaining players at points this year was bad? WTF is happening?!?

 

[auror]

Has KO lost the reigns of the program?

Obviously, yes.

 

[UConNation]

I don't think Durham will ever be the player he once was. Those injuries will always be in his mind. He's lost his explosiveness.

To me, that's not the point. It's just another giant log on the fire. It's a bad look for the program and deserves an explanation from someone in Storrs.

 

[UCweCONN]

Has anyone thought that maybe we have some surprise recruits coming and it's scared MAL away? I was never a MAL fan and preferred Waters and am looking for a bright side.......

 

[3rdbass]

Obviously, yes.

What is the impetus of this mass exodus? If it is this dire of a situation why aren't we looking for a new coach? Really wish I knew what was happening to my favorite sports team. No one man is above the greater good of the team even KO.

This board will do a 360 on their opinion of his health. There will be a wave of "he'll never be healthy" posts if this rumor has any merit.

 

[husky429]

People keep talking ayayi and Harris. Neither are half the player MAL is even if they do commit. This is a big loss, get used to it.

Can you blame them. This is thw worst chain of events UConn mens basketball has ever experienced..People are just emotional
