It happened with a lot of kids. It was a scummy practice, so it was blackballed.
 
I'm not upset about this. He's a champion forever and I wish him the best, but I'm not upset about this.

I am. Creighton is a mid-major.

Bryant has been championship eligible for only 2 years. They are really a minor program. That said, I think Tolksdolf can help elevate them to mid-major status before too long. He has two more years of eligibility. Tolksdorf appears to be Division 1 capable, but he was behind the best back court in the country and an underrated freshman.

Tolksdorf has never scored more than 6 points in a single game, but that game was last year vs 'Nova and they were on 2 3-pointer. I guess technically that can be called banging threes, if only because it is plural, but still...

Boy, you really do post some stupid . The dude's a forward, he wasn't behind Bazz, Napier, or TSam.

This would be the roster:

Nolan, Brimah, Facey, Samuel, Calhoun, Hamilton, Cassel, Purvis, Lukin

We will see at least 1 5th year, although I think filling up those slots with transfers is a good idea. We need to keep schollies for the following class, because next year there will not be a single senior if Boat and DD both leave.

The gymnast, Nastia Lukin, is on the team next year? Awesome. She's hot.

Well that was called for. I stand corrected. THC has spoken. :rolleyes:

I have over 4000 posts on this board. Odds are that "some" of it is bound to be "stupid ." However, I do make a concerted effort to curb my douchiness to counter balance that from others on the board.

What game was that where he came off the bench and started banging threes in the first half? I didn't even know who he was when he did it.

I don't know what surprises me more. That Tolksdorf takes Calc or that someone on the Boneyard does.

The later for sure.
 
Will always respect Leon Tolksdorf. Not only is he an NCAA basketball champion, but he came to the program despite not being eligible for the tournament. Always wish him the best whether he transfers or stays
 
Leon is a great kid. His passion for UConn was evident when he showed his love for the team on the sidelines, many times the first guy off the bench to greet them on TO's etc etc…..we can only hope a kid who worked so hard during practice to try to get playing time as well as make his team better, gets what he wants in the long run. Forever a Husky who I will follow hoping to see solid results wherever he lands.

If this isn't a joke, I hope he finishes the semester in good standing...we always have to be mindful of the APR now.

By my calculus, the cosine of 1 retention point missed equals a number which (when multiplied by 1,000 as per NCAA math) yields a figure greater than the required APR especially when using the algorithm developed in a certain lab in Chapel Hill, NC, unless of course the "leaving in good standing" exception is not approved for a German moving to a business school.

Was also out at the first pitch, you can tell hes on good terms. KO probably just being realistic with playing time opportunity, Daniels might very well be back.
 
Look at Leon in the post/video about the team at Fenway last night and how happy he was. It is sad he may leave considering his love tfor his teammates and the university. The few seconds with his arm around TSam and his evident happiness is almost sad for me as a fan!!!

It's a joke, but unfortunately by banning UConn last year (and then getting a million chances for people to talk about it this year, by virtue of us winning it all), the NCAA convinces people they care one whit about academics. Maddening.
 
If true I wish him well. Still that is a huge drop in program level. If he likes New England why not a true mid major such as Northeastern or BCU?

But that might stop people from blowing themselves up while walking through the minefield that The Boneyard can be when someone first arrives....

If Tolkie is really thinking of transferring, maybe he should think of URI? URI seems to be the destination for former 6'7"/8" transfers who were noted shooters, though not too athletic. ie. Hazelton / Eaves. :) Plus he'd still be close enough to visit the team. He's always seemed to be a nice, stand up guy, always smiling. Can't say anything bad about him.

Bryant is a great school and he'll get a chance for major minutes there.

You can play anywhere and get noticed and whether he wants to play overseas or enter the workforce, Bryant will do nicely.

If that works out he'll join Ct native and former Bethel HS forward Dan Garvin who was impressive as a Freshman and could add another threat to what might become a decent frontcourt at Bryant.

Never really heard much about Leon except it looked like he was well liked by his teammates in post game interviews.

He didn't have high D1 game, but rarely few guys do. I'm sure his play in practice helped the team on their way to a title.

Forever a national champion - can't take that away from him. He deserves a chance to play - good luck to him.
