VU hoops adds UCONN transfer

Do we lose an APR point for the courant running a story on Bradley with a picture featuring Oriakhi? I guess that's Bradley in the background, but if that's the best they photo they could find, why bother?

I don't want anyone this dumb on my team anyway. He probably won't even see any minutes at VU because he sucks.

I know the sacrifice he would have made if AD didn't decide to walk on but he's now thrown away any chance of a basketball career. Everyone said he was a smart kid, but is not a smart move to leave a top 58 national university for a juco.

One more thing: Nobody leaves college because of a sick grandmother. It is and always has been a bs excuse for a waiver. College is the best time of your life. Everyone loves their grandma, but it just doesn't happen.

Where do these people come from? If you're not able to root for a Michael Bradley to be successful no matter where he goes, then I have to wonder if abduction wasn't part of your upbringing. Wtf planet were you on not to know what he's been through at UConn yet he stood on the sidelines and smiled, cheered on his teammates and was a good student? Damn we have become so spoiled in our fan base.......

Good luck Michael and prove the critics wrong in all respects of life my friend........always a Husky

what he's been through at uconn: uconn was the best basketball program to offer him a scholarship. he took it with the understanding that he'd redshirt his first season. no indication that he would have seen the floor had he not redshirted. team wins national championship. second year he is asked and says yes to giving up scholarship for a year, but ultimately doesn't have to. then he gets hurt and never gets back into playing shape. nobody knows if he would have played significant minutes whether of not andre drummond came. uconn gets postseason ban and he leaves for a school that will cause him to have to sit out a year unless he applies for a waiver, waiver rejected, boom JUCO.

I root for every ex-husky (especially jerome dyson) and i really hope michael bradley has a good life, but i'm calling him dumb because he made a series of very bad decisions that the staff tried to convince him to avoid. people do dumb things, just don't call me dumb

Which of those decisions did the staff try to convince him to avoid?

1) accepting the scholarship to UConn
2) redshirting because UConn made him redshirt
3) agreeing to give up his scholarship
4) not giving up his scholarship
5) getting hurt
6) being unable to get into shape due to being hurt
7) transferring to a school and applying for a waiver
8) going JUCO

Of those decisions, I would say he made two bad choices

1) Accepting the scholarship to UConn
2) Transferring to a school that required a waiver.

The rest of those decisions were either outside of his control, or necesitated by decisions made outside his control.

Give the kid a break, he stayed out of trouble, he got good grades, left in good standing, and he never publicly complained about being dicked around.
