The Former and Almost Husky Thread

Maybe that's why it didn't get much play at all. I just remember being absolutely dumbfounded that it could actually happen again.

Id love to see a "he wore THAT jersey????" thread. I could've sworn I started one years ago.

Jerry Rice was a Bronco for like 10 seconds.

OK, back on track, I would be hard-pressed to think of a single transfer that evokes a feeling of "the one that got away."

Some guys have had decent careers elsewhere, but I can't think of any where both:
1) their performance was significantly better at a new school, and
2) we didn't have a better replacement to take their spot

Yes, Carlton was better with Houston than he was here, but not as good as Sanogo. Curtis Kelly was behind Thabeet and we had capable backups.

Gilbert, Floyd, etc., needed a change of scenery and we had better guys coming in.

Watched a few minutes of VCU-South Florida in the second half and Nowell struggled and got a quick hook. Airballed a 3 that was short by about three feet, turned it over, and turned his head on D and got lost for a dunk and a sub went to the table to get him. Ended up with a short 3-minute shift.

He did make a 3 in the first half and got a couple boards in more extended run - when starting PG (Lewis) sat with two fouls. Didn’t watch that part. Had a first half live ball TO that led to a USF fast break layup.

Ended with a line of 3-4-1 (1-2 FG) with 3 turnovers in 15 minutes. For the year in six games, 5.5 ppg, 1.1 apg (7 assists and 7 turnovers in about 80 minutes), and 4-15 from 3.

He may get more chances in this 3 in 3 days tourney and hope he makes the most of them - he’s clinging to a spot on the edges of their rotation.

I remember being really bummed that we lost Enoch and Juwan Durham, as I thought both had tons of talent. Enoch turned into a 9-5 guy for pretty good Louisville teams and even showed a decent 3-point touch. A guy like him would be a good player in our system under Dan Hurley. Durham became a solid player for Notre Dame, but injuries robbed him of his potential.
