I've been critical of his play but never harsh but he's a great person and great role model for younger kids. Represents the university extremely well

Good kid, and a great model for what you'd want a student athlete to do to represent their university.

No matter how many times I screamed at my TV this year when he steped out of bounds on a critical play, I must say though, I do respect the kid for his attitude. He represents the Huskies extremely well, and with his positive attitude, I have no doubt, he will go far in life. I wish him the best!

Rodney, we tried for your first three years. Too exhausted now. It's on you now.

He was the only one who cared today

They all cared. He came close to carrying the team for a while. This loss was not on him. It was over with last weeks concussion to Vital and Jackson. Contrary to chief and magics opinion concussions take a while to heal.

Great kid and I'm grateful he wears the UConn uniform.

Sure didn't look like they cared. Giving up that many first half offensive rebounds is a joke. At some point it comes down to wanting the ball

I know a lot of us are brought up thinking that the only reason we fail is because we don't try hard enough. That's sometimes true but more often than not failure has other underlying causes than lack of motivation.

Purvis is a baller and he always brought the work effort. And when he got going, he could light it up.

I'll always appreciate his time as a Husky. Who knows? Maybe his story isn't over yet. We'll find out in a few days...

Very telling wisdom sir.

Losing in NC had to destroy Purvis in front of his family and to that shat hole of butt pirates @Eastern Carolina...

I bet it hurt but I would also bet that Rodney and his family and friends have a lot of decency that helps them handle adversity and support one another when bad things happen. It's something I wish more of us in this forum could find.
