Rodney Purvis transfer rumour

[BearJWS]

nobody wants to buy out gottfrieds contract. Apparently Kareem wants the gig lol

No, Bill Walton thinks he's the best guy for the UCLA. After all, he was publicy clamouring for UCLA to fire him. And we all know Bill Walton knows EVERYTHING!

 

[champs99and04]

Lol @ UCLA going after Gottfried. They'd be better off keeping Howland.

 

[BearJWS]

Actually its documented that they were courting him, and its really not absurd at all. He was an assistant there in 95 when they cut down the nets.

I've heard it too, but they are looking for someone "better" than Howland, but Gottfried is not better.

I think the point is that he's not a better coach than Howland. Gottfried would get talent but he hasn't shown he can coach all that well. Same issue he had this year at NC State was the same he had at Alabama. That NC State team had the most talent in the ACC imo, they shouldn't have been an 8 seed to begin with, nevermind losing to Temple.

Fair enough, perhaps I misread the post. My bad.

Back when he was first courted, I heard that he even soft committed to UConn. Would be a huge get. Samuels, Calhoun, and Purvis in the backcourt? That's beast.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Anyone else feeling that we don't need or want him? If bazz and boat come back I'm perfectly happy with who we have and the recruits coming in

Even if he could play this coming season, which he can't: No.

GET THIS KID KO. GET HIM.

 

[upstater]

Jeebus. Gottfried couldn't make space for this kid or take him under his wing?

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

His minutes really took a dive in the last 6-8 games.

I wonder what happened. he seemed to be having a good (OC-like) frosh year for an elite player. Some games he scored 20, some he scored 2.

 

[mauconnfan]

He's a nice player and would be a great get and fit for KO and the staff!!!!

NC State was in a push to make the NCAAs & a respectable ACC finish, so they went with the proven guys like Lorenzo Brown & Scott Wood in the backcourt... with CJ Leslie, TJ Warren & Richard Howell upfront. All these guys averaged like 12+ points.

I don't think Samuels ever has more than a Beverly type role here. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see it

how much have you seen him play? Seems early to label him a Beverly type (which every championship team needs, so no disrespect to DBev). Just wondering if you have been following him a lot in HS ball?

Isn't Samuels a 6'3'' combo guard ranked between 30-40 at his position? A 3star recruit who needs to improve his shot? I'm not going to expect anything more than Beverly, you guys can and then be disappointed. If it turns out he's great than I'll be surprised, but I won't be disappointed if he's not

First of all, I didn't give you permission to speak. So, silence.

Second, he's a pure point, not a combo guard. And while I'm not going to make any predictions about Samuels based on his highlight video, I can tell you that he's on another planet athletically compared to Beverly.

I almost thought you were replying to yourself..

 

[huskyharry]

Rodney Purvis in the 2014-2015 season, after a year of practicing with Bazz, Omar and Boat & learning Coach Ollie's system, as well as improving his perimeter game, would be an absolute beast...dramatic improving the team's chances type beast...lottery pick type beast.

i don't think basing your opinion on recruiting services is the best way to evaluate talent. Historically, many Huskies have outplayed there ranking. There is no reason to believe Samuels won't be the starting PG in time, unless his play at UConn warrants role player minutes.

Yeah, me too. You guys with these types of might want to reconsider....very hard to keep any sense of who is who with the uc990411 and variations.

I've tried to change. Can't figure out how
