Terrence Samuel Transferring

[tcf15]

Played a big part in championship #4. Thank you Terrence, and good luck at your next school.

Noooooooooo! I hope this means we landed Gibbs.

Maybe a sign Gibbs is coming?

 

[businesslawyer]

More reason to think Gibbs is transferring in?

More than enough room (i.e. scholarships) to get Sterling Gibbs. I have a sneaking feeling that this is awful for UConn.

Makes sense for everybody. Thanks for giving us that crucial shot in the arm against Nova, TSam. And for stepping to Chris Jones.

Why? I mean Terrence would've definitely played next year and been a solid piece but unless this is part of a bigger exodus, having Gibbs on board is worth the loss, IMO.

Hope he does well somewhere. Will be a great get for a school like a Manhattan or Fairfield type.

Big piece of the NC for sure.

Good luck Terrance. Maybe it's an indicator Sterling is UConn Bound. More likely the result of the constant choice to calling him Samuel(s).

 

[Leebo]

Good luck to him wherever he goes.

 

[Jaybo]

Gave me a sick feeling.

 

[Matrim55]

I'm shocked and bummed. I really, really thought he'd continue to develop and be a guy who played a huge part over the next two years, but with all the high-profile kids we're chasing I guess he felt like the writing was on the wall.

Best of luck to Terrence. I hope he kicks wherever he lands. He'll always be a champion.

 

[Stainmaster]

Hope you folks who wanted him kicked off the team are happy. He definitely wasn't as atrocious as some made him out to be. Best of luck to him in the future.

The only thing that this means is that Terrence wants to transfer for more playing time, which is due to the fact that we have more talented players coming in/on the roster. I liked TSam and thought he could still put in minutes off the bench, but I think this is just a sign that UConn is getting stronger as a program

 

[Yankees32123]

Damn. This one hurts a lot. Even if this means anything about Gibbs, Terrence was a big part of this team. Great locker room guy and a solid role player. He always gave us lockdown defense and always hustled. Good luck Terrence.

 

[Penfield]

Best of luck to T Sam. Hope he succeeds wherever he ends up

When did Gibbs commit? I ain't counting my chickens yet.

There's another reason...Adams. TS was a big part of 2014. His role diminished this past season. He probably expected to be a starter by his junior year; and at this point he will still be behind Adams on depth chart.

With Jalen Adams and hopefully Gibbs, one of the 3 of the TSam, Cassell, and Calhoun was gonna be the odd man out as far as minutes, and a 2nd was probably gonna see reduced minutes as well. I wish him luck going forward but if Gibbs is on board its not really a big deal imo.

Not about the scholly its about playing time, but sure, the world is ending

The fact that Jeff Goodman tweeted it says all we need to know. Yet another cog in the massive anti-UCONN conspiracy machine.

 

[Brochacho]

You are a if your first and only take on this is that Gibbs is coming. Gonna miss you, T-Sam.

Your avatar is reason he shouldn't have given up on that plan.

This is a bittersweet bit of news. I like TSam and appreciated the effort he gave during that Nat Champ run. I will miss him.
It is also a sign that UConn is bringing in some real talented guards real soon because if it were just JA coming in he would have stayed. Must have been advised of some movement within the last few days/week.
This means UConn is getting stronger players ASAP
Good Luck TSam - you have a ring - something the Kensucky twins can only dream about!!!!

I hope it all plays out the way you say and UConn lands Gibbs. It'd make me feel a whole lot better if he did this after a commitment from a certain Seton Hall transfer target.
