Surprising, but hard work pays off.

Congrats Rodney. A true Husky.

This is fantastic news. Great job Rodney.

That's awesome for Rodney! That's some hard work and dedication. What should have been. But you're NBA talent. True competitor .

 

[UC313]

Yea purvo!!

 

[Son of Robert]

Alright Rodney, congratulations.

 

[3rdbass]

Great as I always though he was under appreciated around here. He was playing out of position a lot last year as a back up point guard at times and starting when Jalen missed some games. Good for him as we all knew he had the talent and just needed the right place to show it.

I see Purvis and Brimah playing well and can’t keep thinking hat as much as I liked Ollie, he held them back. Good instruction will only elevate talent!

 

[Purple Stein]

Good for Rodney and for UConn!

 

[Huskybass]

Best news I have heard all day.

 

[jibsey]

how much will he get?

 

[HuskyBandDad]

Good for him. Love to see these kids make to the next level.

Really happy for Rodney what a great Husky, congrats to him.

I couldn't be happier for RP
Of all the guys that came out of UConn and into the pros - this makes me most satisfied
Totally disagree with any sentiment that KO held RP back - sometimes guys get better as the players around them are better - plus he is doing this as a business and full time job - no school and other distractions.
CONGRATS RP - a true Husky

 

[Balker]

Great for RP! Would be nice if we could claw our way back to 10 players on NBA rosters. Getting close...

 

[CL82]

Alright! Could not be happier for him!

 

[TheChamps990411]

Awesome for him. Although he frustrated me at times i liked Purv.

 

[Lefty2one]

I see Purvis and Brimah playing well and can’t keep thinking hat as much as I liked Ollie, he held them back. Good instruction will only elevate talent!

Yeah, he made greater strikes in 8-9 months in the G League than he made in three years in Storrs. Very happy for Purvis.

This is wonderful news for Rodney and for the UConn franchise.

 

[Pudge]

I’m embarrassed by my mediocre assessment of his longer term prospects. I know nothing. Quite frankly

I dont think you are the one that should be embarrassed. Brimah is next, he's playing well.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Awesome news.

 

[James]

He’s on a non guaranteed contract, they could just get rid of him before next year. he still went from five star to this... but shout out Rodney he worked hard in the g league.

 

[Spokesbender]

A great player and a great person. Congrats Rodney!
