Now we know why Calhoun retired.
Or maybe he read the text while on his bike and immediately took a header.Bike thing was a fraud .. he got a call from mr. Harris saying his son might be interested in uconn
I heard he's an aspiring pointwingpowercenter
superjohn, my post wasn't meant to enflame anyone. I was looking for Fishy's thoughts on the topic. We can agree to disagree on Daniels. My point on celebrating the Omar commitment is that it's like having a party for your mailman tomorrow after he slips the mail in your mailbox...that was KO doing his job. Win a National Championship led by an NYC player for the ages means "UConn assistant (fill in the blank) for the next month or so you get to go down Route 95 and take your pick of any player in NYC while your brand name is white hot." That's how it works.
And I understand KO has been recruiting with brutal obstacles in his way. I get that. I'm just focused on the results and the last five guys to sign the scholarship papers scare the hell out of me. That's 5 out of 13 schollies.
The feeling began in the spring and intensified when Samuels verballed and this fan base nearly threw a parade.

Being new here I believe many of us will need an explanation of the "ddooky" before we present our thoughts..........
Fishy, I can't take this any more....please bring some perspective to this board on this topic!!!
Why again does everyone say "We knew Ollie was a great recruiter" and "We haven't missed a beat"?
What factual evidence is there to back this up?
Was it the haul last spring of Phillip Nolan, Leon Tolksdorf, and RJ Evans?
Or was it bringing in the big fish this year, #99 nationally rated Facey?
Or was it beating URI, Dayton, and Temple for Top 200 guard Samuels?
Or was it losing a Top 25 player from our own backyard today that "we must not have wanted"?
Fishy, can you help us out here?
What cemented the "great recruiter" label?
I don't mention the 2011 class because KO had little to do with getting any those guys. That was all LaFleur and Sellars, who get no credit from anyone on this board for basically putting together the whole 2011 NC team.

Mauconnfan, I come in peace. Rest assured I've followed UConn Basketball long enough to have an educated opinion.
