    I just want to say......

    Ozzie, you are one of the few that I find are worth reading any of the posts. This board has become insufferable with a bunch of whining crybabies. If Vance Jackson wants to leave then let him join the others who left because they thought they were better than they are. Oriaki, McCombs, Smith...

    Next up on the IL

    With regard to holding scholarships I suspect that one of them was held for Diallo as it seems the kid mislead UCONN. He eventually decided to not finish the year in high school, and probably was communicating that uncertainty to Ollie all along. If he decided to flip to 2017 in Aug and UCONN...

    Next up on the IL

    One of the players with known injuries referred to hasn't reinjured the knee this year but rather had a minor injury. He is a very talented 6'11'' young player who has the potential to develop into a star. The way I count only one had a history of injury who didn't play this year, Gilbert who...

    Ollie

    Anyone who thinks any coach could win with this roster is as delusional as Bob Diaco. The only chance this team had once Larrier went down was for Durham to develope faster than reasonably possible. Enoch's inability to progress keeps them at mediocre. If they all come back from injuries next...

    It won't be long now

    ollie, without question should have coached Vital not to throw the ball away. He also should have told Purvis and Adams to not miss those shots at the end.. Any of the posters giving this guy any credence should be ashamed of themselves. Do not let his name fool you. I remember him with similar...

    Ozzie, outside of you and a couple of others I am afraid this board is left with nothing but a bunch of whiners who don't understand player development.

    How about My Huskies!!!

    I was at the game tremendous atmosphere with UCONN fans outnumbering the Orange and urging the team on. Good to see Brimah stopping them on one side of the court and Purvis carring them on the other after the abuse many have thrown their way.

    UConn 2-4 Start Its Worst Since 1971

    It is easy to get too down on them right now. I think our football experience has a lot to do with it. I personally think before the injuries they had more talent then we have seen in a while. That being said they were not ready to play to start the season, they had no intensity and haven't...

    Gilbert Status

    Having had three shoulder operations myself and getting back to basketball after each of them my take on his recovery period would be 6 to 9 months allowing him to run drills and about a year to be 100%. I suspect he needs a shoulder reconstruction to tighten the muscles to hold the shoulder in...

    For those who weren't at the Sunday game

    I was at the game as well. The defense wasn't at UCONN standards, however I was impressed with the court presence of Jackson, the agressiveness of Facey and the speed and skill of Larrier. It will take a while for Durham to develop which is not unexpected given the injuries, his youth and not...

    Hamidou Diallo says skipping college for 2017 NBA Draft is real option

    He must still be indicating some positive intents to Ollie otherwise I would think we would have moved on to bring in someone likely to play at least one year. At some point the message of keeping options open and waiting until May to commit becomes a big negative as only one school can land him...

    Bazz.........

    Gerry Besselink was the player that made me realize that Calhoun was a great coach. He played on Calhoun's first team that had the worst talent in the Big East with their only two big east caliber players Cliff Robinson and Phil Gamble on academic suspension for the second half of the year and...
