UConn says sophomore F Leon Tolksdorf (Berlin, Germany) has decided to transfer to American University in Washington, D.C.

Thanks and good luck Leon!

Not surprised but wish him well. He may not have contributed on the court but I would bet his practices helped our player win that Championship.

Wear your ring proudly no matter where you go or who you play for. Husky forever!

I live a couple of blocks from AU. My neighborhood is called AU park. Some of my neighbors are professors. So I occasionally watch an Eagle game. He should light it up there.

It will be a big difference, The entire American campus could fit on the UConn sports complex.

Godspeed and good luck.

He chose a good school. Good for him, wish him well, he seemed like a great teammate.

Does this mean we try and get someone for next year or save that scholly for 2015??

Good luck, Leon. Thank you for your contributions in practice.

Does this make it more likely we go after a 5th-year transfer? Or will we just be that much more aggressive going after studs in the class of 2015 with the extra scholarship?

He confirmed on instagram.

Good luck Leon. Don't go off on my alma mater, Boston U.

Good luck Leon. My last memory of Leon would be my buddy's birthday last weekend.

Got him, Ty, and Niels a beaver at Teds. Later that night my buddy and I saw them all again at Wally's. By this time I was past intoxicated. Put my arm around him and chatted for a bit. He pointed out a girl that he wanted me to spit some game to. Hell yeah I'll spit some game Leon. Slid right over and started to spit some killer game, obviously. Leon was laughing the entire time... But i took that as approval. The girl may have gotten up and left, but let's be honest here, she was into me.

Thanks for the memories Leelee.

Wonder if Wolf was still here if Leon would be as well.

Once a husky, always a husky! Forever immortalized by his perfect hair

He will be a basketball God there. Will look forward to updates on how his career goes there.

Always nice to have a second team to root for. I'll be hoping the kid gets two more tournament trips before his college years are done.

Thank you Leon. Always a fan and always #BleedBlue.

A German transferring to American U. and out of The American Conference. Only in America, folks!

Hope he can get some good playing time there. Good guy!

 

[joober jones]

I wonder if the Jim Calhoun connection played a role in Leon choosing American.

 

[upstater]

UConn's huge German fanbase is freaking out!

Dare I say we may hear, You've been Tolksdorf'd? (Think WVU a few years back and big, goofy, white guy crushing it).

 

[BoatShow]

I will be transferring to German University.

Wonder if Wolf was still here if Leon would be as well.

Seeing as Wolf would have been a senior this year (therefore gone next year along with Niels) I don't understand how that would have made any difference at all...

can we import more germans?
