good kid just not a good enough player for us.

Bulldung! That kid played better than a lot of guys that have come and gone through this program with bigger reps and more talent. He could play on my team any time.

Huh? He's terrible. I thought he'd go lower level to play more minutes.

Not even sure what he's doing, but probably just wants to use last year of eligibility before he enters the "real world."

Lol I feel like Terrence could do better than this. Even if he's doing it just to be in Tampa.

Exposure? I don't think TS was all that bad as some in the Yard make him. He was young,fast, not afraid to take it to the basket. He would substitute periodically. I am in Penn State country. I viewed a couple of minutes of PS basketball all year. Never saw TS on the court. Maybe my timing was wrong. Unless they hit it right on the Big Ten Network you rarely saw them on TV. However, in my area, DirectTV and Comcast, The AAC was on CBS Sports Network and ESPN 1, 2, 3 or The Ocho (can't get enough) often. Maybe he wants the exposure. Not here to debate his round ball future. He will start for USF. Actually I am surprised the amount of players USF lost. Although not impressive this year, I thought they were young and will be decent in a couple of years playing together. Anyway, good luck Terrance!

TSam had some huge moments as a Husky. I would take him back in a heartbeat. Perfect guy to come off the bench for 10 mpg. He was clutch against Villanova and Iowa State in 2014. Napier picked up two fouls in the first half against Nova but TSam got some momentum going with Boatright after we fell down by 10.

He is an awesome guy to have in practice, too, going against your lead guards to make them better. He's hard to stay in front when you're guarding him, tough to blow by when you're on offense, constantly going for the steal, pushing the tempo. Having those types of guys in practice matters. You take TSam and Kromah off that team and we probably don't win a title. You need those smaller pieces.

Yeah USF is going to tank next year for sure, but he'll get 30 mpg at USF next year, I bet. That will be huge for him to try to prove he's capable of playing pro ball in Europe.
 
TSam is the secondary ball handler we lacked this year
I suspect the people who say he can't play at this level mean he can't be the primary guard.
That was obvious to most people but hard for him to accept.
He saw himself as one ,that was unfortunately for both of us.
Getting Adams off the ball even for 5 minutes a game,
a luxury even Kemba got to enjoy ,would have made this a different team.
He is certainly better than a lot of 4 and 5 guards who contributed to winning UConn teams
Good Luck to a hero of the the last NC.
Anyone who didn't feel our run in 2014 was short lived when Bazz got in foul trouble is lying. But TSam came off the bench and into UConn lore.,and saved the day ,for that we should all be grateful
Good Luck TSam
 
If Carmelo Anthony didn't serve as a counterexample, I'd say that you could build an entire team around a guy with as many NC rings as Jim Boeheim.

He was pretty bad but it wasn't his fault it was ours for recruiting him. Terrence would be fine in a Div. 2 program but expecting him to perform at Div 1 level is asking too much. His slow feet make him a liability on D and he cant score other than a layup. His passing and ball handling were below average. I know that he made a few key layups in the NCC run but the truth is nobody was guarding him as Bazz was getting all the attention. TS is a good kid who gave you all he had. He was able to get his degree paid for and that is good for the young man. I don't blame him if he wants to play one more year of college ball before he enters the workplace. He has the rest of his life to work.
 
That's taking it too far - he's not a DII player. If you need evidence of that, three DI programs have now signed him to their program.

He's just not a high-major player. Not skilled enough.

Just made me realize there are non high-majors in the AAC.
Staring it right in the face is demoralizing.

I think this would likely be the first time in recorded history that someone did something "just to be in Tampa."

Who knows? Maybe he enjoys cigars and cuban sandwiches.

Tulsa, Tulane and UCF are just plain mid-majors.

5 minutes of eligibility is enough! Any more could hurt...me!

That would be about 4 minutes 45 seconds longer than it would take youto demonstrate your "special purpose"!

Who wouldn't want a vet with experience winning the NC giving a growing team some much needed perspective and leadership?

Tampa isn't lame anymore - it's where all your CT jobs and companies are moving to. Florida is drowning in money while CT drowns in debt. It is pretty much CT / New England South with all of the people migrating here.

I did my graduate work at USF, it's a fine school, nothing special.
