Singare in the portal

He practiced with Clingan, Johnson and Reed daily. Mentored and tutored by a Championship coaching staff. Played for the best team in America.

He knows what it takes and is bringing it to his new team. I can't wait to see him on the floor showing what he learned, even if with someone else.

I support him and his decision and wish him nothing but good fortune.
 
I don't know why a second big would play here since we only play 1 big at a time and Reed is going to be getting a lot of minutes.

Well, at least there are plenty of 6'5 wings that shoot 33% from 3 in the portal since smaller is better according to some posters.
 
I thought he had an opportunity to play a lot more this year with EReibe being young and needing some seasoning. And of course, Tarris Reed's foul trouble.

Im taking his departure as a sign that the coaching staff had some other ideas about how he'd be used next year

No surprise. He definitely was effective in spurts and deserves more playing time with a club that will give him a chance. Good luck Singare!

I thought there was a place for him this year in 2-4 minutes stretches but he just stopped being put in.

I feel like I didn’t see enough of him to know if he belongs at CCSU or a school like UMass.

But I do not he didn’t take out team backwards when he got put in and seemed to play well. A bit sad on this one vs the others.

As was already said, Youssouf certainly made contributions that mattered in a number if games and I always appreciated his support for his teammates on the sideline. You could routinely seeing him cheering them on and being engaged in huddles. I also felt he was under-utilized and wish we could have seen more of him in action and was looking forward to that in the coming season. That said, I respect Youssouf's decision and wish him the best wherever he ends up.

Get a big PF who can replace AK and give us minutes at the 5 if needed.

Yeah and one who can step out and shoot the 3.

No idea if he'll get an offer elsewhere to start, and he might be more 3/4 than 4/5 but

I don’t know if he clicked with Hurley when it came to game time. It was one game can’t remember which one where he was talking as they went to timeout touchesand Hurley was in the same frame and I could swore the Hurley says stop your bitching directed at him
I think he’s a great kid and he’s gonna do great at whatever level he drops to.

Eh nothing to see there. Kids love Hurley's toughness. He cusses out everyone at practice.
 
So, as it is, in the future, looks like a team such as UConn will end up having a slate of five sure starters and 4 backups that will get a decent share of minutes at certain positions and the rest will be walk-ons to fill out a practice squad that will turnover every year or if lucky, two years. It's a damn shame.

Would love to see him transfer to a local MAAC team and wreak havoc, Thanks for grinding in the shadows for 2 years, CashApp!

Not surprised really, I don’t think he was ever going to crack the rotation unfortunately. I thought he looked like he should eventually but c’est la vie. Hope he gets playing time wherever he lands.

I just hope that he has no ragrets...

Agreed. Maybe not walk on, but definitely developmental players that the staff is transparent with that they will not play for 2 years and will have to work their butts off to get in the rotation by year 3. Those spots will for players that have the right mentality. The plus side is these players will get top notch coaching for skills and personal development and be part of a winning culture. Call it the future coaches apprenticeship.

Considering he didn't see the court much even when Johnson and Reed were both in foul trouble, I can see why he would have doubts about minutes next year at UConn if it wasn't more or less guaranteed.

If you have a couple of injuries you need more than walk ons after 5 and 4, ideally freshman scholarships. Then some walk ons inmho.
 
Singare seems like an awesome guy and a big team guy. I hope he lands somewhere good for him and can make some noise.
 
I personally wish only good things for Singare, Nowell and Abraham. In fact, there is nothing I would like better than to see each of them find solid teams and each have a quality game against us in the championship games when we win our seventh, eighth and ninth titles.
 
Definitely no surprise here, I thought he did very well when he was called. Someone is going to get a surprise big that can play if given the minutes. Thank you Youssouf Singare, hoping the best and I will be watching for your games next year.

I do feel like we def need a dept big now. Another guy who may be a role player in a lower conference who wants to go into coaching some day. I do however feel good about the center position provided we have Reed and Reibe... just need a third big who can come in when needed due to injury or foul trouble. Really could use a phil nolan type

The days are dwindling for the era of having 4 year program players. I don't like this, but completely understand it. Thanks Youssouf!

Honestly, we have to think of this from the player's viewpoint. Singare may only have a couple years left in his playing career. If he wants to go chase playing time, I certainly do not blame him.

He's had the opportunity to learn from the best. Now it's time for him to spread his wings and go make the best of the time he has left.
