Why is he playing purvis?

[jojipoji]

Down the stretch. he obviously didn't have it tonight. Turnover, missed shot, bad defense. Anyone else see what I'm seeing?

 

[Chin Diesel]

For the third year in a row Purvis will be a roller coaster for Nov, Dec, Jan.

By Feb and Mar he is solid. Box him up until after President's Day.

Ollie wanted to ride his horse to victory. Just a terrible first night for Purvis, all around except AG, CV & VJ & Wagner. Embarassing

 

[Mr. French]

I'm seeing the same exact crap from Purvis that happened his first few games his redshirt soph. year. I'm sick of it, it's getting old.

If Ollie doesn't figure out a way to get rid of this clogged toilet offense for the last 3 years, I don't know. This was as awful and uninspired an effort as has become a bit too familiar recently.

I have as much hope for Adams as anyone, I've loved him since his HS days, but he isn't doing much growing, in the mental aspect of the game, either.

Yet folks on here still get up in arms when Purvis isn't named to preseason lists and All American teams. Its still the same ol same ol with this dude, I would have went with Vital or Jackson over him.

 

[Kitaman]

Well 'Senior' Amida wasn't very impressive either.

 

[ConnZag3]

I'm not sure Purvis would even get in the rotation on that Wagner team yet he's playing the whole second half. Can't agree more with Mr. French that there's been zero improvement in Purvis since he got here. Same old garbage in season 3.

 

[Mr. French]

Purvis is one of these guys that just doesn't get how to play. It's obvious.

He's talented, so he'll have the chance to help, but I'm afraid I don't feel much confidence if we're relying on him in key moments.

Not me was never impressed with his game. Period. Facey, Brimah and Purvis yeah we need them and that's the problem.

In regards to this loss the blame on him lies very low. Brimah wasn't the one losing shooters all over the place, shooting bricks, or committing multiple turnovers with the ball. That is on Purvis and Adams.

I wasn't blaming him just commenting on how he was not that impressive. His opponent actually outplayed him (or it looked that way).

 

[Rocktheworld]

I know we tout KO's NBA experience and the "NBA system" he runs. But when you have no more than one player on your roster who can currently sniff the NBA, is that really the kind of system you want to shove 75+ ranked square pegs in to NBA circle holes?

 

[jibsey]

Tonight Rodney was a turnover machine and bad shooter. Maybe Vital should play instead.

 

[aceboon]

@upstater please don't ever mention this dude in the same area code of AJ Price again

 

[ConnZag3]

Vital played a heck of a lot better in his limited minutes than Purvis did in his ridiculous amount of minutes.

No but his put backs at 6'11 and rebounds were tremendous. Let's be sure to keep him from being on of the reasons for the loss. Of course he didn't shoot bricks why would you throw it to him? Hilarious!

 

[jorge34]

Purvis was physically lethargic and mentally absent. dont get it, but it needs to be the last time he shows up in a game like that

 

[sledog]

Vital and Jackson were the only one's with any fire. Maybe Larry near the end. Gilbear was good as well

4 years into his college career and he still can't rebound or stay out of foul trouble on the defensive end.

 

[sledog]

AB never went to Big Boy Camp, so what did you expect??? That he was going to inhale that
Storrs air and miraculously transform?

 

[Walker11]

I can't even get mad about Purvis. He is such a good dude and means a ton to the program. I just really hope he can have a good year for his own sake. He can certainly be a productive player, but he (and KO) need to understand his limitations. Running one pNr is one too many.

 

[HuskyFich]

And he was a 250ish ranked recruit. His offensive game doesn't even exist. Hasn't produced 1 reliable post move.

He's good on D tho.

Perimeter D sucked. They dump it in kick it out for a wide open 3. Over and over again.

 

[uconnever]

Give Enoch more minutes. Let him play through his mistakes and at least he trys to be a scorer. I think our guards and wings will be ok but our big guys might as well have stayed home.

Adams and Purvis were the biggest culprits, they lost track of their men time and time again and sagged way too deep into the paint when it went into the post.
