Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 2077934, member: 5832"] There needs to be a massive shake up on the staff with regards to assistants, etc. Team just needs a new look. On recruiting I see tools on these kids but not much in the way of being able to bring it all together. It's the same story every year and until that changes I'm really kind of past looking at recruiting rankings. It's just dudes on a list. I was at the game today and just the total lack of basic basketball IQ and execution is just so far past anything I've seen on a UConn team it's hard to know where to begin. Basic boxing out, awful rebounding, incredibly bad shot selection... I'm not even sure what kind of offense they're running. It's a high screen to get the guard in a more favorable match up and just ends up as a bad or a kick out that results with another shot with a hand in the face. They ran that same set almost 15 times. There are streaks where this team almost says screw it and you can see their natural ability take over but that's few and far between. I still get this feeling watching that when they actually ditch the offense they look good. It's almost like an ankle weight. I mean X's and O's is one thing - but to me there's just a major disconnect between this that'd, the players and what's happening in the court. Kids all seem to be great kids and they seemingly have a lot of emotional connection to KO, but that connection just sorta ends there. I don't know what the problem is - but they've gotta fire a shot over the bow or something to get some New perspective on this staff because what's happening now isn't working. That's just the reality of it all. [/QUOTE]
