Message: [QUOTE="Rico444, post: 3313732, member: 263"] Yeah, the fact is that UConn had three choices once it was clear Manuel wasn't happening: 1) Bank the scholarship for a year, which does nothing for us. 2) Find an obscure c/o 2019 big man; the level of player would have almost certainly been not good enough to play anything more than a handful of minutes this season. 3) Bring in Richie. None of those three options were going to help us in 2019, but having Richie spend a full year practicing with the team and working with Sal likely means he'll be more ready to contribute next year than most 2020 freshman centers.
