Vance is Transferring

[The Viking]

Joe D just said he was surprised because he had heard there were 2 other UConn players that were rumored to be transferring.
Am I allowed to share the names he gave

If there are 2 more then ........

What's done is done. I don't care about the dad.

But we are an incredibly small team in a very weak big man transfer market, and have no true 3 after Larrier.

Really interested how Ollie fills the 2 holes from these last couple of transfers. Hope something is lined up.

This answers the question. Daddy thinks he should be playing more....

There seems to be some thoughts going around that this decision was more influenced by Vance's dad than Vance himself. I haven't followed his dad's Twitter account, but some say it's worse than Oriahki's dad. If so, this one ain't KO's doing. Also, VJ rates to be behind Larrier on the totem pole and didn't do enough this year to earn moving ahead, so that likely factored into it as well.

Lol omg

This is a bad loss, there's no other way to look at this. Kid had size, versatility and got major experience this year. I was looking forward to him
and CV as invaluable 4 year program guys.

So this now is successive years of Cali kids leaving the program early, so much for KO's reach there. Does anyone have specifics on the extension KO allegedly signed prior to last season? This is getting very concerning and can't continue.

More crazy talk from the dad --

The dude was a good shooter if he was wide open and didn't have to move his feet. What other skills?

I mean if Joe D said it on the radio I don't see why not...

 

[Danzz]

We were such a good outside shooting team that didn't need him. Good luck Vance.

 

[King Husky]

Agreed. I suspected all along after that whole thing with his father earlier on.

He must know with Larrier back he's back in a much different role.

I'm surprised to see you take such a neutral view on this. In my opinion Vance proved that he should be getting 25-30 min a game next year even with Larrier. We need his shooting, so maybe even more. I agree with others that something more negative is going on.

At the very least I'd love a PM of the names

Yep

If Joe D said it on the radio, it is fair game. Just quote Joe D.

 

[djct1999]

These cryptic posts with no names mentioned are fun. 2 names? hmmm. adams and larrier? please, for all our sanity. if you can't mention names, don't mention anything at all.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

If anyone else leaves we must be looking at much larger internal issues that we don't know about. There's plenty of playing time to go around so this is just odd

We just had our worst season in 30 years, fired a long time assistant coach, had two likely starters transfer, but hang on, if one more guy leaves, then I'll start to wonder if there is a problem.

Time for UConn fans to wake up.

Something isn't right in Storrs and the buck stops with Ollie.

I'll take a Pm too if you are up to it.

 

[CTBasketball]

If you think this was all his dad's decision you are wrong.

Strictly PR.

"Is it okay to say something I heard on the radio?"

I don't understand how some people put pants on in the morning.

cheezus.

All the fans wanted change. All the fans ripped this team. And now they're getting it. Not ollies fault

Agreed. Our fans are delusional and minimize every red flag that happens. We are in steep, steep decline and need to recognize that. Ollie got a pass because of injuries this year, but obviously there are much deeper problems than just the physical health of the team.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Seriously never thought we would have another offseason of transfers like the one with Scoe and Oriakhi. This is a real bummer, really can't have another piece make the same decision.

lol what? By change I'm not sure folks meant multiple key players transferring out with no viable replacements in sight...

Nope. Hard to absolve KO, especially if 2 more kids transfer.
