Vance is Transferring

[CTBasketball]

I dont think either of these transfers is a knock on KO. Enoch wasnt good enough to play and decided he wanted more min. Vance's father thinks his son should be the man, and he wont be that here. Vance was posting pics with UConn gear on just last wk. This was clearly his fathers decision

Nope.

 

[PAHusky]

If Vital transfers at this point he's a certified lunatic, the kid will be starting at two different positions next year at this rate

 

[The Viking]

Just a thought but maybe we should slow down the recruitment of guys from California.

As long as the movement stops here I think we're fine. If Joe D's rumors are true then we're in one hell of a hole, losing seven scholarship players is going to set us back no matter who sticks around.

This sucks big time. I think his dad's reasoning is idiotic if it is as stated. As for PT, much more talented guys than these sat on Kansas' bench all year. That's the way it goes at this level. Man up.

As for Ollie...there is too much smoke for there not to be some kind of fire. This is really bad.

He mentioned Vance was leaving and then said it caught him as a surprise because the two names he had heard as rumored to be transferring were Vital and Durham. Again he didn't say they WERE leaving, he's just saying he heard rumors they were leaving.

Obviously he's not getting these rumors from the BY - his sources I'd think are better than ours, but who the hell really knows.

I was surprised he mentioned their names considering it's not like there is a 2 transfer limit - they could still transfer and he's putting their names out there already.

Who the hell knows. Maybe a VJ leaving keeps Durham here. With Vital, maybe its a minutes issue with MAL coming in and AG coming back?

Or his source has no clue.

I don't know about the quality of his source(s), but he just said that via his source(s) to expect an announcement of another departure tomorrow.

Clearly we have problems that extend beyond Vance Sr.

That said, if you didn't know Vance Sr was Mumu Volume II from the get-go, then you weren't paying attention. What we saw on Twitter was 1/1000th of what he was putting in his son's ear.

What's incredible to me is that Vance got a LOT of PT. He'd be lucky to get that again next year. I'm not sure what the Vances were expecting, but where I come from, you've got to EARN your minutes.

I'll miss Vance but I won't miss the feeling of wondering whether he's got one foot out of Storrs.

Nope.

Yes. Anyone with a brain knew vance wouldnt last when his father was trying to coach from Twitter. If vital, Gilbert, or durham tansfer then we can start talking dooms day. But i dont think vance and enoch are good barometers for the state of the program

Duuuude, the pipeline broh

 

[JonnyRI]

Dear god we need a big dose of positive news right now. Like a big out of the blue 2017 committ.

I could care less on Enoch but I really thought Dagger Vance had the chance to be a great 4 year player.

We are now down to 10 scholarship players next year (and that includes 2 low rated freshmen and Cobb - hard to expect much from any of those three).

I am deathly afraid that next year will end up looking much like this one.

 

[Huskybass]

Perhaps the apologists will wake up now. This once proud program is an absolute mess right now.

I think what his father said is 100% PR bullspit.

I was referring to your first sentence.

Sweet. We might be starting Larrier at the five next season.

 

[Coach J]

The sky is falling - literally. We need some news to stop the slide. Maybe announcing who is replacing Miller - that I assume KO or DB had some idea about before we made the move to fire him. Time to dial up a defensive stop and quick!

If things keep going the way they are he might be starting at the 3,4, and 5!

The spin zone from the Ollie apologists hasn't let me down.

He deserves a chance to right this ship, but the hole keeps getting deeper.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Have you watched Cobb play? If the dude can go 20 minutes without collapsing or fouling out it will be a miracle. Better to hope Polley or Carlton are the re-incarnation of Emeka Okafor.

Polley will be a 3, not a 4 - Larrier's understudy.

 

[HuskyHawk]

If Vance leaving caught Joe D by surprise than he's out to sea because that should've been the name anyone could see coming. I was expecting his announcement as soon as the season ended.

Why? Can someone explain to me why a kid who wouldn't see major minutes as a freshman at any top 40 program, but who then did see major minutes due to injury, would leave? I'm serious. I liked his game. But if he or his dad thought he was Josh Jackson or something, then they need a long look in the mirror.

Literally?

Cop out...he was 1st Team AAC Rookie Selection but he was scared of competing for minutes with Larrier coming back. He would have had ample opportunity to "showcase what he could do" again next season. Everyone wants to be handed playing time instead of earning it. If that's the case then best of luck but see ya
