According to reports, prosecutors have dropped their case against UConn's 7'1" center Enosch Wolf. Wolf was arrested in February for a confrontation with a female UConn student. The incident began when Enosch refused to leave an on-campus apartment, leading to a physical altercation with the young woman. The list of charges included third-degree burglary, criminal trespassing, and disorderly conduct.
Wolf was sentenced to personal counseling while he awaited a secondary sentencing. According to Wolf's attorney, the results of the counseling were satisfying enough for prosecutors to drop all charges against the German big man. He still remains suspended from the UConn team, however I expect that suspension to be lifted soon as well.
While there will no doubt be some people who disagree with the decision to let Enosch off the hook, the fact of the matter is that we don't know what happened in that dorm room. All we can do is trust that the United States court system did its job and gave Wolf a punishment that fit the crime.
From a basketball standpoint, this is all good news for the Huskies. Enosch started to emerge as a reliable option in the front court before his season was cut short. After signing 6'11" Amida Brimah, the return of Wolf should give UConn a very intimidating front court next season.
Enosch has decided to continue with personal counseling on his own. He has also decided that he is going to focus on Final Exams, which are coming up in just two weeks. Unfortunately, that also means UConn's famed Spring Weekend is coming up in a few days. As a UConn fan, I really hope I don't come across Enosch doing anything he shouldn't be doing. Fingers crossed!
