While opinions vary, thinking "analysts", players, and even coaches often overthink this issue. While difficult to sustain, every year UConn has recruited 3 All Americans, they have dominated.  You wonder if:
-Did UConn lose several "Bigs" due to Charli[B] [/B]Collier committing (i.e. then decommitting?).  Is it possible that some of the potential 4's and 5's that would have joined UConn did not since they felt Collier would get the major minutes (i.e. that didn't happen).
-Did Geno change his recruiting strategy once Collier committed?  Hindsight is wonderful but were there some with outstanding skills but not 100% aligned with UConn's approach that Geno did not follow through on once Collier committed.
-Compared to a UConn historic perspective, our Junior class is relatively weak.  Did some players go elsewhere based on their assumptions of reduced playing time?  Would love to see them in a Huskie uniform now.
Seems coaches and players should just go where the best fit is.  Based on the NCAA banners at UConn, seems to take care of itself.
