He's in a great situation. Does he have to sit out?
 
Very happy for him
He deserves to be playing and looks like he might be better suited for that level of play
He did have some nice games with UConn vs some lesser opponents

I am happy Sam Jr apparently has found a good situation for himself. Sam will always have fond UConn memories but I am glad he will have the opportunity to play more. Also, good to see Bunkey get some love on this board. For all of his crazy fun and what some might perceive as confidence or detractors would call cockiness - growing up in Baltimore can be rough, very rough. He has a good family but he has seen a lot of stuff go down and people forget that. It's not a place that has an opportunity vibe. One really has to fight to rise above all that. Bunkey has a lot of qualities that can lead to great success if he catches a few breaks and I think he may overcome all that Baltimore stuff.

However, there is never a doubt - Bunkey loves UConn and I am so happy some love is being returned.

Sounds like Chief has access to HBO and has seen The Wire. This must be the Bunk you're talking about:

I mean, I am sure the kid is a good kid, but he was awful has a Husky, never ever did anything, I'll be shocked if he does much at Iona.

I wish the kid the best, but let's not get twisted...

He had some big moments in our run to the championship. He did some "things"
 
He sucked and did nothing is more literal and accurate. This is like his 10th school. There is no requirement in life that he has to live up to his father's accomplishments or expectations.

 
He just might be better than you think. Iona is probably thrilled to have him. He will certainly get an opportunity to shine there.

Third school, one was a Junior college, he wasn't great here but he had his moments, jut a little too slow for high major competition

As far as I can tell this is his second school? The kid came to UConn, contributed what he could (on and off the court) and then left as a grad transfer for a smaller program. Seems pretty standard.

He attended Chipola College (a JuCo) in Florida for two years, playing basketball for one of them, before coming to UConn.

If you knew Sam Jr at all you would know your post is BS. He never compares his basketball accomplishments to his Dad's. Furthermore, I don't sense any expectations from his Dad other than maybe he's glad he is having some fun playing basketball, grateful it's paying for his college and having it as part of his college life.
