Rodney = NBA Bound

[Stainmaster]

I'm so freakin' happy for this guy. Hats off to you, RP -- make us proud.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Hell yeah RP! Prove em wrong!

 

[polycom]

But I thought coaching doesn't matter.

Happy for RP.

 

[UconnPT2007]

Best news in a long time on this board.

 

[mjmoney23]

Good for RP! Always seemed like a good guy and was a great ambassador for the program. It' amazing the progress he and Brimah have made in the dleague. I guess that's what happens when you have a coach who knows what he's doing.

I would have laughed if you told me a year ago that Rodney Purvis would be getting time in the NBA this season. Shows the type of work and resiliency in that kid. Congrats to Purv!

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

Oh man this is fantastic news, especially in an environment where good news is so few and far between. Congrats Rodney!

My new years resolution was to watch more NBA basketball (I quit smoking in 2017, started eating better and running again - so i mean come on... let's be realistic).

Looking forward to tuning into some Magic games!

 

[Huskybass]

Fantastic news. So many really good college players never get to play in an NBA game. Thrilled for Rodney.

 

[fatlucy]

Maybe we should hire the Lakeland G League coach........

 

[Huskyforlife]

Where's some crow I can chew on?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Added three more names to our current NBA players list this season. That strikes a chord with recruits. Congrats to Rodney! Well deserved!!

 

[Huskyforlife]

How's Brimah looking?

 

[mauconnfan]

How's Brimah looking?

I can't even imagine eating that much crow, relax LOL


Happy for Rodney damn hat's the best news we've had in a while.

 

[LIuconn]

Wow, this is great. Now the hard part really starts. Good luck RP

 

[gtcam]

that's right RP -just another example of why all those negative doubters and haters can eat crow
still some, even in a dust of positivity towards you, they find a way to dis someone close to you
all the best to you and your future
thanks for being true husky blue

 

[jibsey]

Rodney was Mr. Positive for us and I’m happy for him, hope it works out.

 

[UofCT]

Purvis has been crushing it in the G League, this is great news. Magic are a dumpster fire though, hopefully Frank Vogel puts him in a position to succeed.

I agree that RP has progressed greatly in the DLeague but it tends to happen if you play with more talented players. No matter what the reason it's great to see RP doing well. Fully agree he is a great guy and a great ambassador for the program. I got to talk to him on several occasions after games and when I saw him on campus during summer. He loved UConn and loves KO
AB on the other hand has not progressed:
avg min played UConn 22.5 GLeague 21.9
FT% .644 .602
Reb 4.5 7.0
Blks 2.8 2.7
Pts 6.7 6.4

Rebounds have improved but not much else

 

[art4life]

Great news!
Wishing Rodney the best in Orlando.

 

[Son of Robert]

Congratulations Rodney. Hard work pays off. Keep believing.

 

[The Funster]

Grats Rodney!

This would be you:

 

[HuskyHawk]

Probably my favorite Husky in recent years. Such a class act. This is great news, and I’m happy to see all his hard work rewarded. Now he needs to stick.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Maybe we should hire the Lakeland G League coach...

Stan Heath

 

[CTBasketball]

This is great news, this guy worked so hard. Time to keep working tho.

What’s his contract like?
