Terry Larrier to Transfer to UConn!

[Dove]

I wonder what Fishy thinks.

 

[Sonofabeach]

Wow! That VCU board is hilarious with the tampering claims. Lmao

care to share the link?

 

[noeynox]

Terry got it right the second time. Welcome aboard. Nice looking player.

 

[UConnKev]

Wow, I may have been off a couple days on the news but my guy was dead on.

 

[FASTEDDY]

I'm excited too. But I count 4: Purv, DHam, AB, JA. Who else are you counting? Are you counting guys you've barely seen play?

I'm sure he was also counting:

Gibbs
Miller
Larrier
Enoch

 

[MrP]

Addition by subtraction!?

getting to the nba is hard. I would predict (boldly i know) Larrier Hamilton Enoch Brimah and Adams are all locks as first or second round picks. Purvis will have to work his way into the league due to 'tweener status'. No idea about gibbs. Miller will most likely try pro ball out somewhere. There is still a ton of big time talent on the team... really excited to see what KO does with the offense, if he is able to construct an efficient one without a basketball savant like napier. Clearly the most talent on any team he's had.

Some gems from the VCU board:

"Bottom line is when you can advertise national title banners, you will always have a leg up on the recruiting trail."

"After reading the UConn message board, I would LOVE to play them so we can whoop their ass! They don't want to go to war!"

"I'm not all that upset either. I do know one thing....a VCU vs UCONN game needs to be scheduled. This seems like a budding rivalry on the recruiting trail, and could be a nice matchup on the hardwood as well. Lets get it done WW!"

"I've always felt they had some shady stuff going on. - Part of the Calhoun legacy at Storrs."

"I'm gonna lol if Ollie leaves next year. - I am going to applaud and hold the door for Diarra."

I'm sorry, but where is this sentiment that Enoch is an NBA prospect coming from? I can understand reaching to say that about Adams but we haven't even seen the kid dribble a basketball at the college level yet. Let's wait before we start calling high schooler NBA draft locks.

reputable draft guru givony praised enoch as a potential pro prospect when he saw him at the jordan brand regional game. Why are you so insulted i consider enoch a pro prospect? I dont need to wait for

You didn't call him a pro prospect. You said he was a lock to get drafted. Those are vastly different

 

[HooperScooper]

Okafer was a three star when he graduated HS. After working with a coach and listing weights all summer, he gained skill and twenty pounds of muscle, and he was 4+ by the time he got to Stores. Calhoun's luck was finding a kid with that much self-discipline.

You are so off here and I don't know where to begin. I'll search for some articles and post them.

 

[6xChamps]

Gosh I hate VCU fans. Are these guys serious???

 

[JSM1970]

Hamilton yes, Adams I think yes. No idea on Larrier or Enoch yet. Brimah is an interesting one. I think worse case, if he shows minimal progress the next 2 years, he still gets taken in 2nd round and jammed into D league or overseas and see if he develops. Few guys make the league that way, so who knows.

AO, Ajou, Daniels going this route.

Why give then the looks. They're not on our level.

Stop bottom feeding.

It was predictable. Why bring it back here?

 

[OkaForPrez]

No more Texas sized If. That's a mic drop.

 

[willie99]

damn, we're on a roll now

welcome aboard Terry

 

[DogMania]

Oh my god... this thread has derailed in classic boneyard fashion.

Let's just stick to being hyped about Larrier being on board.

Was thinking the same thing. Welcome to UConn, Terry, the home of Champions.

 

[whaler11]

In Ollie we Trust. As long as he stays we are alive.

 

[Blue Blood]

Great get he'll be the purvis this year mimicking the other teams best guy in practice only gonna make everyone else better

 

[aceboon]

I wonder what Fishy thinks.

Thread too positive, check back in the next time a recruit heads elsewhere...

 

[Matrim55]

There were some who were concerned about our recruiting and i was of the opinion that if Ollie couldnt pull in a good class for `16 then id start getting concerned. Seeing as he is already knocking out the park for `16 i think those worries can be put to rest.

I don't think he's knocked it out of the park yet. He's just led off the inning with a solid double.

If we get Gilbert or King - or Fisher, or Heron, or Jackson, or whichever high-ranked 2016 guy we've been recruiting for a while - then that makes the class a home run.

 

[gtcam]

I'll defer to your judgement given that when Okafor was recruited, weeknight games were past my bedtime. But I seem to recall people here mentioning him being outside the Top 100.

He was at the start of his last year in HS but was a 4 at the end

I don't like the sounds of any of those. Being a program that takes in a lot of transfers usually has negative connotations. In UConn's case, they've picked up players who fit needs both positionally and class balancing.

I think we should stick with Championship U.
