Makai Ashton Langford asks for Release

[bballerct50]

Just saw on ESPN that Ashton-Langford has asked for his release. I thought the bleeding was over?!!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Showballot]

Well this is great.

 

[Penfield]

why cant we have nice things?

 

[tykurez]

 

[Wordbomar]

Who confirmed this?

 

[Lefty2one]

LOL

Recruit asks UConn for release, latest to leave

 

[Penfield]

please tell me this is an April Fools joke one day early.

 

[Fishy]

He's gone.

 

[Walker11]

Please recruit Tremont. I have been sooo much higher on him since the jump.

 

[UConnSwag11]

I would love to know the reasons. Is it because Miller is gone? Is it because other recruits that we're looking at?

 

[PAHusky]

This has turned into a total clown show now, if it wasn't already

 

[Showballot]

Please recruit Tremont. I have been sooo much higher on him since the jump.

He lost in the second round of the tournament.

 

[BUConn10]

Here come the chicken littles...

 

[KingAG]

Is this who Joe D was hearing about?

 

[JMick]

Lol ok now the sky is falling.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

this is bad

 

[Lefty2one]

I would love to know the reasons. Is it because Miller is gone? Is it because other recruits that we're looking at?

Interesting that both MAL and Vance Jackson mentioned Miller's departure during their request for their release.

 

[superjohn]

Not a big fan of his but this totally sucks. The vaunted class people were talking about with possibilities of Diallo, MAL, Bamba, Hammonds etc. is now a 2 man class comprised of guys in the mid to late 100's. We need to be at Tremont Waters house today and get Blake Harris or any other guard. We went from just having an extremely thin frontcourt loaded with question marks to also having an extremely thin backcourt with question marks.

 

[polycom]

When it rains it pours I suppose.

 

[Hamms30]

Sounds like Miller leaving soured him, but also maybe with hiring Chillious he knew they would be recruiting Blake Harris? Article on ESPN said Harris has scheduled a visit to Storrs.

 

[Walker11]

He lost in the second round of the tournament.

Who cares. I never liked MAL's game. Call it sour grapes but I have been extremely consistent with this. Give me a guard who can shoot and run a team over a kid who is athletic but can't shoot.

 

[Lefty2one]

He lost in the second round of the tournament.

He's better than the non-existent 4th guard we currently have.

 

[jollari]

Strikes me that this shouldn't come as a surprise and probably known fallout from letting go of Miller – given we started recruiting Blake Harris

 

[BUConn10]

So about that "next 2 years will be pivotal" general consensus... are we re-evaluating that to "next 5 years" now?

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Okay, now it's definitely time to panic.

 

[Dove]

He's gone.

He was never here.

 

[mjmoney23]

Guess miller was more important to recruiting than we all thought .

 

[jollari]

Providence folks get their wish

 

[Kitaman]

As much as a prized recruit he was, the truth is he never played a game for us. Not a consolation by any means just some perspective.

We'll reload somehow, someway.

 

[tcf15]

From his quotes on ESPN, seems like it's because of Miller leaving and crowded backcourt.

Also,
