Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2705574, member: 26"] If UCONN doesn't offer a kid, there's a reason for it. It could be many reasons. Lack of interest from the coaches, perceived lack of interest from the player, coaches have not evaluated enough to make an offer, kid has not come to campus for a visit, etc etc. To worry that the sky is falling, or some other version of that, is just going to give people ulcers. There are SO many kids that UCONN is still interested in, and SO many kids left to make decisions that it's sort of silly to over-worry. UCONN landed Kalana Greene after a very short recruitment (it seemed that way). There was literally zero "publicity" surrounding her recruitment, then BAM. She's chosen UCONN. Tiff Hayes was recruited for about 2 weeks (it seemed) before she verbaled. Unsure how hard UCONN was recruiting ONO but suddenly the situation intensified after Collier changed her mind, and she chose UCONN. Stevens and Camara came out of nowhere - meaning UCONN was NOT recruiting them as they were at Duke and Kentucky respectively. When they decided to transfer, UCONN went after them and BAM. To ask "when was the last time UCONN didn't get a recruit in a year" is silly. Of the top 60, literally 39 kids are still in play. Start worrying when that number drops to 0 - IF UCONN still has no kids in tow... But to answer that question, never since Geno has been in charge. In 1999 we had only Kennitra Johnson and she transferred out. In 2001, only Ashley Valley. In 2009 only Kelly Faris. In 2013 only Saniya Chong. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to post, but the "sky is falling" mentality is comical. 2 straight years of making the final 4, only to lose on a last second shot in OT and suddenly, it's all going to hell in a hand-basket. Head bang UCONN has made it to 11 straight final 4's but "only" won 6 times. The other teams were Tennessee, aTm, Baylor, SC and ND. I'll start worrying when we have no top 10 recruits and drop out of the top 10 as well. Just don't see that happening with Lou, Pheesa, Danger, Walker, ONO and Williams on board. [/QUOTE]
