misery in CT

19 pages of discussion about a place, a school, a program, and a coach no one here likes worth a flip. What a waste of time and effort. Our season is over, their season is over. Everyone take a deep breath and get this through your noggins: the sled dogs don't matter.

Yeah I never liked this thread from it's beginning. Now that we officially were better than them this season with them not even making post season, I think it is time to close this one up.

And the rats begin to jump ship... Or maybe Calgoon made him walk the plank.

Methinks spittle made him walk the plank.

Mike Anthony wrote this back on 3/9.

Mike Anthony wrote:..."There will be a couple of changes to the roster mandated by our performance, mandated by our inadequacies, mandated by some kids who probably deserve to get a chance maybe at a different level," Calhoun said....

..."There are some guys on our team who could have very successful careers maybe at a different level," Calhoun said. "They're young and this would be a good time for them to at least think about what their future is, and I'll be very honest with each and every one of them."...

...In A.J. Price and Jerome Dyson, Calhoun feels he has a reliable backcourt in place. Jeff Adrien, while forced to the forefront as an undersized power forward, is steady. But questions remain at key spots surrounding them.

Hasheem Thabeet could provide the first roster shake-up should he declare for the NBA draft.

"I'm encouraged by A.J.'s last two weeks," Calhoun said. "I question Stanley [Robinson], with all that talent, not being able to do more. Jerome Dyson will be a star in this league. ... I still believe that if Hasheem did all the right things and stays in school - maybe two [more] years, I don't know - that he's going to be a force in this league. So we've got some guys to build around."

But still some missing pieces - and, for now, no scholarships to award.

Sophomore Rob Garrison and freshman Ben Eaves, both buried at the end of the bench, are the most likely candidates to transfer. Sophomore Marcus Johnson, his role reduced and his struggles glaring in the second half of the season, could be a candidate, too. And with four guards in the rotation - Price, Dyson, Craig Austrie and Doug Wiggins - it would not be inconceivable to think that Austrie might consider transferring....

PUKE ON ucon!!

There are a few rumors going around about adrien transferring to BC

Wow, I don't if I'd be happy or upset with that. I hate UConn more than BC, but we play BC next year and Adrien is a stud.

Wouldn't have to worry about him for a year afterward.

And another one bites the dust.

Has anyone mentioned lately that Calgoon is a piece of crap? He brings this guy in for a short term fix, knowing full well that he wouldn't play as soon as his convicted felons returned. Why would any recruit believe a word that absolute loser says.

Make this thread go away-this is stuff for the UConn board-not for this board.

Wow, and he says that they have two 'ships now, possibly three, but won't name the other player considering transferring. We'd have 50 pages by now if Ford said one of our players is considering transferring but wouldn't name him. Seems like he's throwing a kid under the bus and putting some pressure on him publicly (I'm assuming UConn followers have a pretty good idea who he could be talking about).

Um, don't click on it?

Well, Mike Anthony is 2-2 in naming the transfers. Will he be 3-3

St. John's lost two today too. Roberts probably forced these guys out.
