Xavier Rathan Mayes: "I'm happy for (Ollie), but at same time its sad to see coach Calhoun go after everything he's done."

I like that kid even more. Even if he doesn't come, classy kid.

if ollie lands this kid and we have a successful seasonor two i think kids will be flooding here

Extremely considerate kid. I think this could be a really good sign actually considering he actually took the time to say something like that about our program. I like this kid.

The program is now in a position to attract kids who want to be legends. These kids aren't just going to jump into the lotto-pick pipeline and coast along, like Drummond.

We're looking for the next Donyell Marshall -- who helped put UConn on the map in the early 90's after the Dream Season. We're searching for the first big star of the post-Calhoun era, who wants to take on the challenge of ensuring that UConn continues to be UConn.

Great point, Tenspro. This is a great recruiting pitch. "You want to come to UConn? You can be the first big star in the post Calhoun era and help maintain the legacy of excellence."

For some reason I just think we're going to be OK. I think the worst case will be that Ollie continues to recruit well but turns out to be a subpar in game coach. If that happens you bring someone in who is better but he will inherit talent. I just don't see Ollie not being able to bring in good players.

Couldn't agree more. Well said
