Vance is Transferring

Vance and Rodney must have the same gf and they both just found out.

In context the fact that at least 2 guys are leaving over philosophical differences, and few here are privy to the conversations that transpired between coach, player or parent; that might be enough to give people pause before trashing a player or parent over their reasonable explanation.

 

[JMick]

Well if continues to hit the fan I wonder if Billy Donovan will be available next year.... He's from NY

 

[CardiacAndre7]

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.

I'll probably actually cry if Vital transfers..

 

[Penfield]

OK so at that point could we just trade teams w/ another school?

These kids don't want anyone coming in or coming back healthy that will take some time from them

 

[August_West]

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.

Not when Vance uses the EXACT same phrase. That aint coincidence

So essentially, any freshman that actually played meaningful minutes this year wants out?

This is a much bigger loss than Enoch from a basketball point of view.

Jackson was the floor-spacing 4 we needed to complement guys like Larrier, Adams, MAL, and Gilbert who are much more slashers than shooters.

We just got that much easier to defend next year.

Or get a comp pick? Jesus

Ha this is scary. If we are going full on apocalypse mode but no one is naming names, just let this marinade. 2 guys have already transferred and 3 others have been rumored to be considering transferring. We could be bringing back a guard, a wing and a big. Minutes are wide open so that isn't the reason.

This is what it feels like to me.

It also feels like Benedict is laying down some law and the kids aren't happy with it. Of course, that's 100% speculation, but it seems clear to me. If (big if) that is the case I think (hope) it's better for us in the long run.

 

[August_West]

Top Five?

Yeah right.

Top Jive is more like it.

If we lose 3 out of the 5 recruiting class its a bad look , a real bad look.

I'm sure Benedict is asking KO what the hell is going on!!! And not "laying down the law."

This is uncharted territory. Chief might actually be in the rotation next year.

 

[Dove]

Is this the AAC?

F@#! no!! It's Ollie's basketball program.

Yankees on Sunday. I got YES back.

 

[Coach J]

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

Or featured more - he literally played almost the entire game.

Very well could be

I'd just like to thank Vance for his contributions this past season. I was looking forward to watching him grow as a player and will continue to do so even though he is moving onto a different school. Good luck, Vance!

 

[Hoophound]

Durham is the future if healthy. Total stud. I hope he doesn't go anywhere.

 

[PAHusky]

what's worrying is that these kids don't seem to be leaving due to completely diminished playing time. Enoch was essentially in line to start at center. Vance's dad may feel like Larrier's return is threatening his kid's playing time, but Vance played way more this year than he would have under normal circumstances and Larrier is no guarantee after an ACL injury. Vital and Durham also got a lot more run this year then would have been expected due to injuries. No bueno

I will say living out here in Southern California for a bit now, endorsed by others who have spent significant time here, that being fake, nice-to-your-face, and passive-aggressiveness seem to be fairly classic/common personality/behavior traits out here. Not saying that that necessarily describes Vance, and I can't blame him for disliking CT

The biggest disappointment in all this is all these kids, UConn and elsewhere, not honoring what it means to "commit" to something. I get that Vance wants to do his thing and has a pro future to hone, and that he may feel he may have a better opportunity elsewhere; but damn kid, is UConn really that unbearable?

That was a few years ago.

This is no time to be rational!

but seriously, where is our team going? Is there a free buffet with only 10s as waitresses somewhere out west that we don't know about?

In regard to the 3 players talking about "Fake Love," it does make sense that it might have to do with Ollie. Because Ollie is always preaching "love" and "brotherhood."
