Souleymane Diaby is no longer on the roster, but will remain with the program in a different capacity

[CL82]

Incoming?

 

[HooperScooper]

Incoming?

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean by that?

Yeah, since he was a walk on, his departure is not a sign that a new player is coming on.

Maybe they felt with 15 scholarship players they didn't have practice or coaching time for walk-ons, so they are getting rid of walk-ons. Maybe he'll be a student manager or some such.

 

[Fishy]

UConn has opted into the new 15 scholarship/player limit.

His “position” was eliminated, sadly.

 

[CL82]

What do you mean by that?

I was thinking that they moved him out to make room for someone else but I didn't realize we were one over the 15 cap

You only get 15 roster spots, so it was not a UConn decision to not go above that

Yeah this was already reported which is why I wasn't sure what you meant. They decided to use those 14th and 15th spots on Elezaj and Paunovic. The article did say he would remain in a "different capacity". So I thought you might be alluding to what he would be doing next.

 

[Lafayette]

I hope he gets is CPA and becomes the team's accountants because there is no way he would be a guard coach.

One of the great cinema feats of our time. Excellent work.

Diaby got a basketball card without ever registering a single minute on the court! Not bad! lol

 

[nomar]

Apparently he's actually transferring to ECSU (DIII).

 

[temery]

He was my favorite player that I never saw play. I wish him the best and hope they find a place for him that is mutually beneficial for all concerned.

No complaints from me. Ballers wanna play games that matter.

 

[UCTitleTown]

He should go to WCSU. Better DIII program than SCSU.

Sucks that he was sidelined last year

I believe it was nothing the school did. Something about being a partial qualifier meant he could not play. Probably roots in credits from other schools not transferring.

I know, I just meant it's an unfortunate situation that he never was able to see game action

I want one

Tom in all seriousness for all you do this Diaby card is for you.

DM me how to get it to ya, and I'll get it into the mail.

You mean making terrible takes gets you free stuff? I need to get in on that action.

It's a Diaby card...not sure the street value but this "action" is charitable.
