Did it occur to anyone that SR might be talking to Jr. directly as a parent trying to motivate his son to be a better player. The tweets are directed at Jr not KO's twitter.

No.

 

[Excalibur]

Way too early to be making career defining statements like this.

Don't feed the troll.

 

[krinklecut]

The best thing we can do is not give this kind of garbage attention like this.

Yikes. "Looking for a new home" is this dude serious with a blatant transfer subtweet? I would be embarassed if I was his kid but maybe he agrees with his dad. Also note jason hart, ex NBA PG and assistant at USC liked his latest subtweet.

 

[JSM1970]

Yes, because he can't just text or email him personally if that's the case, he has to use Twitter or FB

The irony is the kid would be getting minimal mins if Terry wasn't hurt

Vance is one of the few guys on the team that can make a bunny layup. I have been impressed when he takes it to the bucket. His 3 point prowess should develop into a potent weapon for us. I agree he needs to play the 4 on defense, so a face up 4 is his best fit. What are the thoughts on playing a 2-3 zone on defense. We have only 8 guys and struggle to defense the 3 pointer this year.

Is his Twitter profile picture of Vance Jr or did Vance Sr become a father at the age of 3?

Dads in back.

That's Vance Sr., he's only 25.

 

[tcf15]

And, um, maybe he's trying to build a new paddock on the property?

That's Vance Sr., he's only 25.

So we can basically chalk this up to adolescence.

 

[Horatio]

This is not going to end well... but, we're UConn.

This is all part of the WTF Alchemical process that leads to us winning championships. It's the Uconn way.

Asst coach of USC liked this tweet.

So now USC is recruiting him to go there.

Oh well, all is fair in love and war and college basketball.

Hey Andy, watch out; I wouldn't trust your assistant coach with your wife. And never step out at a spaghetti dinner.

Tampering?

 

[Candyman]

Seems it not about the minutes but about how hes using Jackson. I mean the father is probably pissed about scoring only 51 points and his son goes 0-5. He's pissed off and looking for someone to blame for Jr.s bad play. I'd be surprised if he is at UConn next year. We have Larrier back plus he will be pushed from by Polly.

Vance will find his shot, he just needs to get used to the speed of the college game. The speed has thrown off his shot.

I can say that if we end up with a losing season and then Vance transfers it will look really bad for us.

Consider the source.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Maybe I'm just obtuse but I'm hardly convinced that these tweets are even in reference to basketball.

All of his tweets are in reference to Vance playing basketball.

 

[JSM1970]

Haha, it's an accurate statement as of today, 12/1/2016. Maybe it changes in time.

Consider the source.

 

[James]

KO should slide in his DMs like, "you subtweeting?" clear this whole mess up. they follow each other ha.

 

[Huskybass]

You can't possibly be serious.

As far as I am concerned, he can finish off the year and then pack his bags
Ive coached soccer for over 25 years from college on down and there is no room for parental childishness like this. While I don't like parents being directly involved in issues like playing time with the coach/staff - hiding behind tweets that are public broadcast are plain BS and gutless. All he is doing is putting his son in a very awkward situation.
There's no room for crap like this, JC had it with Harrelson and AO, there is no reason for KO to even address anything with the kids "father".
If that was my dad I would give him a piece of my mind and probably do the opposite of what he suggests because whatever it may be its probably not in the players best interest.
None of us are happy with the season so far and the old man probably is getting some ribbing - man up
Vance was less than bad last night and still will be playing a lot of minutes this year - more than he would even sniff at any other higher echelon D1 school
Its amazing how many don't recognize a gift horse in front of them
If this keeps up - good riddance Vance because you made the decision to let your "father" live your life for you

 

[RipCity]

Kudos to Mr. Jackson. I almost didn't realize that it was KO's fault that Vance can't catch up to the D1 pace yet.

At this point, Vance himself has done nothing to merit this.
