Vance is Transferring

[Dove]

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.

With DHam I was so done with California players. Then I saw Vance's emotion during the recruiting and was willing to be okay with them.

Now, f the west coast. Let UCLA and Oregon have them.

Yep

I'll also take that PM if you're up for it. Very curious.

This program has had a huge problem with transfers going back to Calhoun. I know that we all would justify it as "well it happens to everybody", but I'm not sure that's true.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

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

Me too pls

 

[UConnSwag11]

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

They said they players don't develop, the coaching staff is terrible, the fans are terrible, the players aren't good when they come in....

 

[krinklecut]

Hesitant to say this is on KO, but we at least need something from him or Benedict. The silence from Storrs is becoming deafening.

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

He was deft at passing it in to stone-handed centers.

 

[Kembacity]

Seriously wtf is going on? Is it at all possible that this has something to do with the players leaving? As in, Purvis and maybe Brimah seemed to be the central core of the team, captain's duties. Is it possible that with them gone, the keys are in a less friendly and happy go lucky group?

 

[aceboon]

Disappointed but given all the stuff on social media from him and his pops its not surprising. Don't really understand how his father wanted him used as a freshman, dude is going to be a very good player and is skilled but he has his limitations, was he expecting him to be the featured player as a freshman? Spot up shooter, used in pick and rolls, and the occasional iso was more than enough for his plate as a first year player.

Need a PM too. I cant refresh this page any faster!

2 more? Get real. No way 2 more leave. Vance was "10 toes in" yeah right. I know they're kids but are people ok with them not being true to their word? What a crock. This is infuriating. Go sit a year then play at Cal. Good luck VJ

This program has had a huge problem with transfers going back to Calhoun. I know that we all would justify it as "well it happens to everybody", but I'm not sure that's true.

With such a hard headed coach like JC, I expected some kids not to "get it." Ollie is touted as a players coach/father figure and something is clearly not adding up.

 

[uconnell]

Jackson doesn't like Connecticut. He posted that much in a tweet, then deleted it. It is sometimes hard to like the cold weather and snow, especially when you are from a warm or warmer state. There maybe something else going on that we are not aware of, yet. It will all come out in the wash.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

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

Change? Sure how about we start winning.

Having two starters transfer, going on a limb here, likely not the best route to accomplish that.

No one has been ten toes in since 2014. Get ready.

 

[tykurez]

This one is much less surprising than Enoch and I'm surprised it wasn't the first to drop. But it's much more painful from a personnel perspective. Curious to see what these gaps get filled with.

Pm me too please

 

[uconnphil2016]

Why are we all begging for PMs of a radio segment?

 

[KembaStepback]

Id take a PM....curious who Joe D heard.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Pm me too please

Or he can post it... but then pm me

Can someone quote a PM? I am too proud to ask for one myself.

 

[Dove]

He tweeted something earlier about fake love.

 

[Justin M]

I'm still okay with a lineup consisting of Adams, Gilbert and Larrier...and a top guard in MAL....obviously its scary to see guys just go like this, but we have time to find role players to fill the holes

Jordan Tucker is still considering and obviously there have been rumors of other JUCO's in the mix

 

[superjohn]

This was kind of known for a while. Vance is a good kid and a nice player but Vance Sr. thinks he's the next Lamar Odom.

 

[joober jones]

Please add me to the PM list as well
