Should have been a UCONN Husky - loved his game

I can't remember the details of him decommitting. Did we take someone else or did we sour or...?

Horrible decision to renege on UConn for DePaul.

Ironically, he was afraid of being forced to play power forward after Roscoe committed.

Nvm, found it. Mutual b/c UConn wanted him to be a 4 and Depaul let him be a 3. Giff and TO were late adds to that class.

Sad ending to a nice career…..hope he finds success somehow but this isn't a good sign!

The rep on Roscoe in high school was that he was a pure 3 and one of the best shooters in the class. Hmm...

He's certainly good enough to make money playing somewhere. Hope he makes a lot, he deserves it after suffering through 4 years at DePaul. The guy showed so much talent as a frosh and then never got any help.

I don't remember the details either but my feeling was that we soured on him.

That is what I recall as well, but don't remember the details...
shame...he was quite a player. Is D league the next stop?
