Not sure if this was the whole reason you made it, but I kind of laughed when I saw the title, and then LOLed when I saw the video time.

Best of luck to him - reminded me of Enoch a bit - maybe he can grow into that type somewhere with time.

 

[Marat]

I'm pretty sure tcf15 spent the least amount of time for JB highlights vs other UConn players.

 

[Hoophound]

Loads of potential. Would love to keep him.

 

[Ewekon]

This does not make me happy.

BUT.

This is the sign of a once again healthy program. If he chooses to leave I will wish him all the best. I guess it's good/bad.

 

[JakeTheDog]

This is the type of quality content I come to the ‘Yard for.

 

[CTBasketball]

Ooooof poor kid.

 

[HooperScooper]

As I opened the thread I was ready to ask if you had access to practices for the video. Lol

 

[MexicoHusky]

My prediction. In a few years we will all agree this is one that got away.

 

[Tampahusky]

The reality is he wouldn’t have seen much playing time with current and future players already committed to roster. Wish him the best. Hopefully he goes to mid major school.

 

[ucawn]

He’s gonna be really good with 2 years of development

 

[elmcityboy]

lol

i am imagining indiana fans poring over these clips in the not-so-distant future...

 

[bazz&boujee]

BYEEEEEEE FELECIA

 

[Chief00]

If he joins Hunter, more confirmation it was not a good coaching breakup. If we needed more.

 

[AuRevoirAAC]

Wishing Javonte well, wherever he ends up. He was going crazy on the bench when TP went off against Marquette. Glad he was at least supportive and having fun with the team.

 

[Chief00]

Chief is in the camp that he will develop into a 1st round pick in the right program. I thought we had the right guy to develop his body. Sometimes the Canadian guys advising him want things to happen too fast. Big guys are different and take more time to develop after having such a growth spurt in their teens. He really had tremendous length and not bad basketball instincts. Disappointed he’s leaving. Johnson will fit well in Hurley’s system.

 

[UConnJim]

I don't blame the kid. It looks like he is talented and under Hurley, UConn is recruiting better and right now there is a logjam in front of him in the front court. Next year, you have Sanogo, Akok, and probably Johnson ahead of him and even more players if Whaley and/or Carlton return.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

He could have at least stuck around and gotten his ring this year.

 

[TerryBoyz]

Sincerely-Best of luck to him!
Just curious if he will still attend practice, travel with team and participate in team activities.
I don’t see the point but I don’t know how these things work =casual fan.

No.

I 100% agree with you and I think we’ll see him play in the NBA.

He’s extremely young, maybe raw, but god is there so much untapped potential.

Oh geez... if he even plays a minute of regular season nba basketball we definitely blew this. Has that ever happened? Has a UCONN transfer gone on to make the NBA?

 

[navery12]

People need to relax with the UConn/Hurley blew this if he goes to the NBA. The coach he committed to left and he decided to leave too, it's simple

 

[DayDayTFS]

this guy is 2/2 in 2 minutes and we are worried about him in the NBA right now... good lord.

It’s one opinion. I’m probably wrong but I still think he’s young enough to grow into his game. Hes 7’ tall... ya can’t teach it. He’s got too many people scratching and clawing for minutes. I really think he’s got the highest ceiling out of our bigs, Sanogo aside.

 

[BParkDog]

OOOOOOF

I feel like a person who just heard an inappropriate joke and I'm trying not to laugh at it (think Norm McDonald making John Stewart laugh about the Crocodile Hunter's death (see . . . CROC ). TCF - completely savage brother. But also one of the funniest posts I've read here in donkey's ages.

I read somewhere, a long time ago - maybe 25-30 years ago, that 25% of all true 7 footers walking around the United States had played in the NBA.

If this kid makes it to the NBA, and I hope he does because I'll put that into the "former UConn players in the NBA" column, it will not be a surprise at all.

This is only about timing. The coach is a pretext. He wants playing time now and going forward, and there are 300 and something D-I program coaches that will give him 20 minutes a game yesterday. Maybe Indiana's coach is one of them.

Letting Brown play this year, which Hurley has determined will cost us wins, could have been an investment in our future, but Hurley thought it was an investment that was too expensive.

 

[Tampahusky]

If we ever hear of him in any kind of college basketball highlight I’ll be surprised. Chill with the NBA talk. His lateral foot speed is super slow and was the last guy on our bench. Probably a great kid and wish him success.
