Something is going on at UConn... Lost Enoch, Vance Jackson, and now Juwan Durham. Not to mention losing top 50 commit Makai Ashton-Langford.

Either Ollie is cleaning house, or its a meltdown. Not sure which.

FWIW Jalen Adams said he's staying put and not declaring for the draft.

What's interesting is that next year is kind of regarded as make or break for Ollie. Injuries let him off the hook this time around. Next year he was supposed to have a pretty full squad.

I have no doubt it's part implosion, part cut bait and reload. They'll prob get one or two of the Washington class, just based off the Chillious hiring. On paper, Chillious is a great get, always gets elite kids etc. That said, bringing in assistants like that, given Ollies tenuous grip on that job, sorta feels last ditch. Either way, adding Larrier and Gilbert back in, should in theory, really help. All that said, never really been a talent issue in Storrs, has it?

According to local Uconn fans, it is a little bit of both plus a little bit of panic.

Recently, Ollie replaced his lead assistant which definitely affected the situation.

You would have to think this is it for him, don't you?
