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.

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.
 
If any of these kids go to Syracuse then my suspicions are confirmed of something sinister going on behind the scenes

Tremont Waters, Daejon Davis, Jemarl Baker and Blake Harris are all 4 star guards who reopened their recruitment and Harris is visiting.

Class is no wrapped up yet

No room for the mentally weak on this team. Too bad. They'll find somebody

I'd stop short of calling a kid "mentally weak" because he doesn't want to play for a UConn team with a lot of player/coach turnover from when he was recruited. If he doesn't want to be here, that's fine, but that doesn't make him a weak kid nor is it likely that we'll replace him so easily this late in the game
 
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

Losing a top 30 kid and having to shift course will hurt no matter what. Let's hope we lock one of those guys up. Strap in boys.

Havent heard anyone saying he sucks. Stop making stuff up. Ppl are saying if he doesnt want to be here then good riddance and that he isnt irreplaceable
 
Plans B, C, D, E and F are already in play, so I guess it's time for the plan G contingency.

Wake me when however many players we still have in October are ready to play.

What can we do? I suspect he saw something in Vital that affected things. 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.

As it turns out Tremont Waters was Plan B and he's available. Although I don't see that happening. Regardless I'm not worried, there's players out there and I trust this staff to find them

I keep seeing people use the phrase "replaceable/irreplaceable". What is an irreplaceable player? Jalen? Well then we need to start planning for the loss of an irreplaceable player after the 2018 season because he is draft bound. Losses like this directly affect that future planning coaches are responsible for.

So in a way losses like this can become "irreplaceable" indirectly.
 
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.

This has nothing to do with backcourt crowding (which existed when he committed) or Vital's emergence.

Way too many people have blinders on right now . . .

I assume you can prove that the same people said those two wildly inconsistent things?

Other programs are signing McDAA's to be career bench guys, meanwhile our "lead" guards are getting scared off by Christian Vital? Right. Wake up guys.
 
It is clear that KO has no problem fishing. Uses the right bait. Casts perfectly. Hooks the sonsabitches, too. Getting them on the boat is the weakness. They get here, hate it and leave. Or they commit, and regret it.

Enter Wicked Tuna to get the tuna on the boat.
 
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

Class isn't wrapped up yet is an understatement, we need 3 more players.
