Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2582463, member: 489"] I want kids who want to get better wearing the UConn uni, kids who really are "UCONN" kids but clearly we have fallen short. Vital is the only one who ever speaks of "UConn pride" from recent past and I love that, he gets it. We need more of him, heck even though he's wild and turns it over I now trust he's trying to do what's best for the program since he said that. Larrier? Not a UConn type no toughness, Jalen I'm not sure but he's not been blessed like other great guards with a bevy of good players around him to offset his rough nights. He may be a crappy coach in game and maybe even in practice but one would hope he's at least attempted to instill "what it takes" to be everything you want to be, as he did. I mean that would be his strength one wold assume. Kids need to work harder on their own time, after practice and summer if they really want it. Shooting is a natural gift and if you don't have that then it would take hours upon hours to make yourself better. I hope that alarm goes off soon for Jalen because he is truly gifted. [/QUOTE]
