Vance is Transferring

[krinklecut]

He tweeted something earlier about fake love.

Whatever, dude has had a bad attitude about his time in Storrs from the start. Don't need that in our locker room.

 

[CTMike]

Please- whatever you do- don't pm me with info on this. Thx.

Joe D named Durham and another. Sorry was driving and didn't catch the other name as my dumpster fire rage set in on 84

I take it this it not the news of we are about to glow, yet. We need some positive data.

 

[Fishy]

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

Lol...stop.

Guy running the show and cashing the big check is responsible.

If you watched him in high school he did seem like he loved the camera and attention

Thats troubling if backed up with Purvis' tweet the other day about Fake Love. Seems to be a rebellion afoot. Not cool.

To be fair, that could've meant just about anything.

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.

Vance Sr. is LaVar Ball minus the lottery pick.

I'm saying those people are getting what they wanted. The Ollie bashers/haters

What did Purvis say? I avoid Twitter like the plague so I didn't see.

ha ha. Nuclear explosions glow now that I think about it.

The hating was a little much, but the bashing seems semi-appropriate now, no?

 

[SirHypeAlot]

@The Viking you are free to quote Joe D so please share with the board

Ughhhhhh. This was expected and not completely debilitating, but one or especially two more would be completely debilitating. I can probably take a guess on the 2 others based on some names that have been thrown around, but won't mention them due to rules of the board.
Re: Vance...if his dad really thinks Vance should be used in a different way, he doesn't know anything about basketball. I read something about how he wants him to a be a "point forward"...the guy looks down at the ball when he dribbles half the time. I liked Vance and think he could have been a very solid 4 year role player for us, but he has his flaws that you need to game plan around as a coach. "Point forward" is insane for him unless he goes D2.

Taking a deep breath now and hope Ollie has something up his sleeve...but it ain't looking good.

 

[alexd]

Yep

I'll take a PM if you will. Thnx

 

[Walker11]

Excited for Rhett Lashlee!

 

[Mano]

Vance? Oy...

Or they just really like the new Drake album...

This is very concerning on a few levels. Vance was going to play a lot next year and be a big part of the offense regardless of Larrier. And there is no guarantee that Larrier being good or healthy next year anyway.

Something is obviously going on. Nobody ever says that Ollie is a bad guy or doesn't know his basketball, but I have seen signs that maybe his personality rubs people the wrong way?

Personal attacks are wrong, but it's totally fine to criticize the highest paid state employee when they're underperforming. With big money comes big responsibility.

 

[AntG168]

Anyone who was on vance's instagram live knew he was transferring already. But the "rules" here prevented me from saying anything. His friend commented "vance is transferring yall" and vance respnded "why you trying to break the news".

Hard to judge based on that. Hell, it could just as much be about the transfers than something about the people left within the program.

 

[The Viking]

OK, if I'm free to post he said he heard rumors that it was Vital and Durham. Nothing definite, just rumors he had heard.
