    Hope Drummond can make a foul shot. To bad he used UCONN for a jumping board. Took time away from other players who just want to play the game. Good Luck.

      I actually don’t actually know how I ended up in this article, but I thought this post was fine. I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a popular blogger if you are not already

    I was thrilled that Drummond came to UConn.

    In case george doesn’t know it, every player at UConn is using it as a springboard. They all want the NBA. Congrats to Andre.

    Started a game in the summer league opener AND scored 8 points. NBA hall of fame here he comes.

    I sure hope his Mom can get her J O B back when he is playing in the D-League in a year or 2.

    Why all the anger aimed at an 18 year old kid? He didn’t live up to the hype at Connecticut, is that his fault or those who expected an awful lot from a high school aged kid? But for the retroactive NCAA sanctions, Andre would likely be coming back to UConn. It’s tough to blame him for leaving given those circumstances and his draft position, don’t you think?

    I agree with Bob, no reason for anger towards this kid. He came here and did his best, maybe that wasn’t good enough for you but he is leaving in decent academic standing and brings more exposure to UCONN by progressing in the NBA. Give the kid a break.

    Good luck Drummond I wish you the best. The few haters on here do not represent the majority of fans in CT.
