Rrezon Elezaj is entering the transfer portal

[Fishy]

I stand corrected. We've now lost twenty one feet at the position.

It's impossible to overcome these numbers.

It's impossible to overcome these numbers.

If we send an assistant coach to Dubrovnik with a couple cartons of cigarettes and a bottle of slivovica he should be able to fly back with at least one center.

I didn't realize there was someone who began their name with two R's on our roster.

We pick up the kid from Florida and we can get half of it back in one swoop.

This is the kind of thinking we're looking for.

Someone start a spread sheet so we know what we have and what we need

 

[milfordct]

Good luck big man, always saw him super engaged on the bench. Good teammate.

As of now we have 0 big men! Is there even 3 left out there to buy?

Right! In the day and age of the front court dominance, we have a goose egg.

Rrezon Begone

Forgot about this dude

 

[UCTitleTown]

Am I alone in not knowing he was even on the team?

 

[Lefty2one]

How do you know? Giving him 2.5 inches is a ton, consistent with how they list through.

I sat courtside and was within a few feet of the players, and I'm 6'8. I fully believe that he's 6'11 in shoes. Rrezon was much taller.

This one was definitely expected. Nothing wrong with this path in the modern era: practice against top quality competition at a top quality program, learn the game, transfer to a place that is probably a little higher than where you would have went if you didn’t take the pit stop in CT

Best of luck to him! I remember in the BC exhibition he had a monster block and almost threw down a crazy alley oop. Had me hype

Taller than Reed?

You and our resident UMass fan 😀

 

[uconnfan68]

Taller than Reed?

And Reibe.

 

[AdamaNation]

I'm hoping wherever he lands he takes what he learned here and succeeds.

I really wouldn't read too much into this as far as the state of this program or other transfers. He wasn't going to play here. Just like any other fan base, we have our "the world is ending" never happy group who thinks this means the whole team will leave and we won't replace the ones who do leave.

I think it's out there now that we turned down one of the top portal guys two years ago after a visit. People are going to want to come here.

It’s that whole mass exodus with Vance and the rest that had Ollie scramble to get Josh. Isaiah and polley.

 

[Dutch Boyd]

If he has any potential he'd land at BC with Luke.

Ahh the enjoyment of every UConn portal transfer will end up at BC with Luke. So cleaver and glad you posted this ground breaking theory. Good times moving forward.

 

[Shamon30]

Disappointed I won't get to see him pass Ben Eaves on the all-time scoring list.

 

[uconn_jack]

Quite a bit taller than Reibe.

Interesting - Reibe looks about a 1/2 taller than Tarris. Z looks like he has 3 inches on both of these guys.

I had no idea.
