Wolf deserves his own thread

[HuskyV]

Way to go Nucky!!!!!!

 

[aceboon]

If he keeps it up I would rather a lineup like this:

RB
SN
DD
TO
EW

Calhoun has conditioned you guys to seeing these abnormally big lineups. If we go to that lineup our defense gets worse and DD offensively would struggle from the 3. You guys gotta embrace what college basketball is in 2012.

1.024 HU. No way.

Wolf was definitely impressive tonight. I've been saying all Wolf needs is a couple games like tonight to get some confidence. #fearthebeard

 

[MattMang23]

he also deserves his own highlight video

How did you find his recruitment video?

 

[Dove]

He also had the ball stolen from him early on which would have had JC park him on the bench for the rest of the game.

New era of UConn hoops

You ain't got no problem Jules. I'm on the motherf cker. Go back in there, chill them n-ggazout and wait for the Wolf who should be coming directly.

You sendin' the Wolf?? Well, that's all you had to say negro."

Wolf was AMAZING.

Since this is exclusively a Wolf thread, does that make him a "Lone Wolf".

Good observation. Old era was not bad either, but this is exactly what kind of coach this program needs.

Shock and awe

 

[Palatine]

Who says we have a thin front court?

Who? Where are they?

 

[bmayuc]

you guys notice how many ISO post-ups Ollie is able to generate with his Hi Post/Weakside defense?

AWESOME.

 

[fgbrault]

I thought Wolf played very well and showed great hands. Add me to the bandwagon.

Way.

I'll tell you Wolf really was hungry today. I only wish Tolksdorf was hungry like the Wolf!

(See what I did there?)

What are you talking about?

 

[Quagmire]

Great game by Wolf. One thing that's funny about him, but effective, he doesn't dunk when he's right around the rim.

 

[Husk-E]

 

[Palatine]

That's my rebound.

 

[jibsey]

He was a stabilizing force at the top of the foul line initiating good offense. Good hands, rebounding, everything tonight. This is his first real extended playing time and he really showed he belongs out there. In retrospect he should have had more pt last year but his leash was short, this year no choice but to let the wolf hunt.

Agree one million percent.

"Great hands" was the first phrase that came to my mind when contemplating Wolf tonight. He's instantly transformed from Sanka to Starbucks

12 points, 9 boards, and a couple assists? Plus only 2 fouls? Pretty damn good. I taped the game. Can't wait to get home to see it. I'm really glad Wolf established himself a bit - too much to rely only on Olander solely in the post. You knew Wolf or Nolan would be needed to step up...

When healthy, I've always thought Wolf looked plenty athletic for a kid his size. I wasn't sure how his BBIQ was but so far he seems solid. His biggest problem is to stay healthy so he can gain experience and PT to improve his conditioning. So far he's much more than just 5 fouls to give in the post.

With all the defections in the post, his improvement along with Tyler's has been a pleasant surprise.
