Ollie has the transfer thing down....... now let's land a few 2-4 year guys each year. Greedy, I know.
Speaking of transfers. Don't know if the Courant has any inside info but they mentioned the 4 star FR from the Bronx who was big on Uconn before but now is transferring from VCU.
Zach Braziller @NYPost_Brazille ( from fall of 2013)
"Bronx wing Terry Larrier will pick between VCU and UConn after a "great" visit to VCU per AAU coach Munch Williams."
Larrier had Daniel Hamilton and no guarantee that Daniels wouldn't be back for his Sr year in front of him, when he committed to VCU. So could he be another transfer ? But
one with 3 years remaining and who would have to sit out a year. Regarding the long term roster there is speculation that this grad transfer thing could be coming
to an end with new NCAA rules:
Jeff Goodman@GoodmanESPN
"UConn is the winner of
the grad transfer sweepstakes this year
(probably the last year) with addition of Sterling Gibbs and Shonn Miller."
So KO might as well take full use of it while he can. Consider it the new one and done's, but kids that actually go to school ( and graduate )...since Uconn lost
2 transfers theirselves and upgraded the current depth. Gibbs is a huge get because he can actually play with the ball in his hands and Adams is really the only other
guard besides the oft inj, Cassell Jr. who can do that on this roster. Something Gibbs had issues with at Seton Hall between between him and their 5 star FR. who
wanted to control the rock from what I read. But it will be a requirement playing for Uconn, since Purvis and Omar are off the ball types.
