I don't know the whole story, but his father passed over the summer and maybe his family needs him... Like I said I have no idea.. But another thing could be when he committed here, everyone thought Vogt would be sitting this year due to transfer as it seemed unlikely he would get a waiver and Diarra had a ways to go before playing. But looking at it now, Vogt is our big man and Dou is now the first big off the bench. I wish him the best and hopefully he can play professionally in Europe, it hurts us in terms of depth but I think this team keeps rolling without him.

Sucks it didn't work out for him but as some have mentioned Diara has been taking his minutes. So we have a backup but we also have the small ball option with Scott...which just became a more viable option with the emergence of Harvey if he can keep it up. I'm not sure we will see much more of Davenport but maybe a little in emergency.

Good luck in Europe!
 
I'd guess it's a minutes thing, Sorolla figures if he's not playing here he might as well give Europe a shot. Diarra has majorly outplayed Sorolla, in fact I've been saying for a bit that Sorolla shouldn't be getting minutes.

It hurts depth a bit, but as long as we avoid foul trouble/injury, Diarra can be upped to 15-20 minutes per game as backup 4 and 5 and Vogt/Scott get the rest. Our small ball options are no worse than having Sorolla play if we go that route to buy some minutes.

Sorolla is a smart player and knows what he is doing. That’s still valuable for a coach. If diarra knew what he was doing he would play a lot more. No choice now
 
I liked Sorolla in the 5 out motion offense we ran in the first couple games. We haven't run anything similar since then though, so he's kind of lost his place. Hopefully he finds success wherever he ends up.
 
If Adam Hrycaniuk can still play high-level European basketball at the age of 35, there should definitely be a place on that continent for Sorolla to thrive.

Adam hrycaniuk is the worst player to ever play for us. I truly believe that
 
I just don’t get why guys can’t stick out the year for their teammates and have some commitment. If this was for family reasons then that’s a different story.
 
Definitely a killer if Vogt gets into foul trouble, just to have a body in there was key at times, by no means do I think he was that good, but he gave us more than McNeal did, diarra a lot of the times is a better option at center than sorolla, but when it’s another big body, like a Luke Garza or azabukie or jalen Smith or nick ward, diarra would get manhandled by any of those guys if we were to make the tournament.
 
Thanks Jay!

Now we need whatever he averaged a game (Points/Rebounds) to be made up by the the BENCH!

Should change rotations in a way that we are better defensively, and possibly score more points. We just got faster.

But a lot smaller. Who do we have that would be even close to playing the same? Davenport at 6'7 is like our next biggest guy.

He was a good poor man's Vogt which is what we needed

I think we are good. We should see 4 guards and a big sub rotations coming soon. That puts the pressure back on Mcneal, Harvey, The Other Cumberland:D, and MAW who needs a small confidence boost, during this long season.

Davenport is going to have to bust his chops or continue to bust his chops, to get on the floor for meaningful minutes.
 
I'm happy to see some of you all are seeing the silver lining in this.

I think it is a huge loss for team balance and chemistry. It's not the end of the world, of course, but real flags pop up when this sort of thing is happening.

It's gonna go down as one of the more interesting seasons in my time as a UC fan.
 
Trust me I am all for loyalty and honoring your commitment to your team.... but if I am not playing on this team and I have an opportunity to go home and play professionally making money knowing even if I stay I could hurt my pro stock or I could get injured...…. or do I ride the pine playing maybe 6-10 minutes a game in Cincinnati Ohio. I would probably leave too. Some fans are upset because they are fans of Cincinnati basketball..... Jay Sorolla was a one year temp to fill in for what we lost last summer, he doesn't care about Cincinnati. If you go back and watch the tape when Keith threw down those 2 huge dunks.... The only people on the bench not getting excited and kept sitting down we Sorolla and Jaevin.
