Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 2242806, member: 1609"] I'm certainly am not close to the program . But from my observation post deep in the Sonoran Desert. These are my observations. Up until this year there was a conserted effort to hurt UConn recruiting i.e. The program. mostly by floating all kind of rumors that Ollie was leaving shortly . as he was much too good of a coach to waste his time on a has been program like UConn. After a year were we had our deepest recruiting class in years following the recruitment of a top rated guard all seemed well. Then the disaster of 16-17 happened. Now the narrative is Ollie is not long for the program because ,pick a reason,. To a spinmeister like myself it's obvious that they are the same objective just two different spins. Rationale 1. Ollie is the only reason UConn has any credibility at all Get rid of Ollie get rid of UConn. Connecticut certainly is no longer the basketball state it was 30 or 40 years ago. I couldn't fathom a UConn team battered and fighting for their NCAA lives being abandoned by fans the way the state abandoned last years team. Have you asked yourself if the kids that left might not have stayed if there were 16,000 for Cinncy. We only got in the Big East because CT was a great BB state and JC only came because he was aware of that fact. That shipped has sailed and KO is really our only hope, Ollie has proven he could win ,even last years battered team (with a healthy Adams ) achieved a pretty decent chemistry. I certainly would be suspicious of the motives or the naïveté of any KO hater. Especially the rational ones. [/QUOTE]
