Makai Ashton Langford asks for Release

[Lefty2one]

If Vital progresses that's 2 sophomores on the depth chart with one junior. Perhaps he wants an easier road to floor time. I can't blame him. Guards are not that much a concern for me at least this coming season.

Still, the program needs talent and the program needs depth. Gilbert's health issues going back to HS are concerning. If we go to a three-guard lineup there'd be plenty of playing time for MAL next year. Vital fits the role perfectly of the second or third guard.

 

[Mr. French]

Yikes ... I'm an optimist about this program and its future, but I'm now getting worried.

When is one of the "Horde" going to write an article about what is really going on at UConn? You usually see this when a head coach leaves or is fired. We had an assistant coach leave and we have had THREE players leave with possibly more on the way. What the heck is happening up there???

I'm sure they are trying. But that all depends on getting quotes. Nobody has gone on the record with any dirt (yet).

 

[gwhuskyfan]

I've always been a big Vital fan. Time to get it done.

Well, I guess this is the cherry on top; fire KO now, and don't waste another moment.

This is a perfect moment for your passive aggressiveness, eh?

To be fair - there were already plenty of others on the other side of the coin throwing out passive aggressiveness.

If we get waters or Harris it won't sting as bad. Seems we have hard times getting guys unless a bunch of minutes are guaranteed.

Do you agree or disagree?

 

[August_West]

And whaler thought I was a joker for telling folks to hang on. I would still keep that sentiment in mind. Things still a happening.

Its OK to stop now Zionn. Please. Im begging you.

 

[UConnSwag11]

?

 

[BUConn10]

At what point has Waters even given us a passing glance?

 

[August_West]

negatively or positively?

You really have to ask that?

 

[Stainmaster]

LMAO!!

Good one Stairmaster!

Do you or do you not think our head coach should be fired?

You proclaimed you were "right" about things being a dumpster fire. You and many others believe there are severe problems with the program right now. What's your proposed solution?

 

[upstater]

This just means we're getting Quickley/Quinerly in 2018, right?

This was my first thought. Jalen to the NBA leaves only Alterique at PG. They'll need Quickley quick.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Do you or do you not think our head coach should be fired?

no

 

[TheRealKBuks]

Its times like these I really appreciate people like Shabazz, Neils, Deandre, Phil, and Rodney who stuck with the program during its darkest moments. I know I'm leaving key people out, but those are True Blue Huskies right there.

 

[Lefty2one]

Is there any news from Waters after his release? He set up any visits? Even an iota of interest in UConn still?

 

[superjohn]

Pg wise we're fine he wants to dominate the ball and he'll be our 4th pg this year.. doesn't wanna wait his turn

We aren't at all fine at guard.

You guys realize this class is pretty much wrapped up right?

And everyone saying Ollie needs to produce results this coming season, well that's not going to be realistic evaluation anymore because our rebuild just got reset basically. Another thin roster lacking sufficient "UConn level talent" like Jacobs was saying yesterday that everyone was suddenly agreeing with and eating up.

Well, let's wait and see what happens with Harris, Diarra, and the jucos/grads. Still a number of players out there.

 

[upstater]

You guys are insane. The past year this board has been going bananas over MAL. When players were transferring out all I heard was that we'd be fine because MAL was coming in and Larrier will be back. Now MAL leaves and suddenly he sucks? The level of denial on this board is mind boggling

Or, it is different people.

Some people have been critical of MAL all along, including a certain poster who attends many games and has never been impressed. The same poster recently said he is sold on MAL because Ollie is sold, and because MAL's team seems to always win, and those were his first words before launching into a stream of negatives.

MAL is highly regarded, but we can't pretend that he doesn't have his detractors. He does.

 

[BUConn10]

Do you or do you not think our head coach should be fired?

Not at the moment no, but if you haven't even remotely evaluated in your head what's going on at Storrs then you are willfully ignorant. At some point all the rumors about poor chemistry and the constant turnover need to raise some eyebrows.

But I think you know that. You want this issue to be in absolutes, black and white. You want the debate to be either you want Ollie 100% or you want him fired ASAP, that's not how it works, but it does when you are desperate to save face.
