Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4681373, member: 504"] y. T The whole assumption is that college ball at the higher levels is mostly all about NBA preparation and getting noticed. And it probably is. Even the number players actually making it in the league or being drafted is low for most. IBut as I’m now tired of saying, i really believe at least UConn fans have a relatively short leash on losing. If guys stay and we win all is good. If some leave early and the team struggles some as a result there is a lot of moaning even while not wishing ill on the departed. Bouknight played pretty well at the end of his soph year. Whether or not his leaving early affected his maturity one way or an other is hsrd to know. Was the program better off even with a kind of down year because his early departure might have induced new supposed good recruits, I guess we will find out, if in fact we know that is why they picked UConn even after 2 years of esrly NCAA losses.
