Could we stop picking on Syracuse? Their program is not a joke. It has won 50% of the national championships that Tyler Olander has won, and that is a big time accomplishment!

BY-Picking on Cuse? We’re not picking on cuse...
what about you, Jim? You picking on cuse?

Jim - no, not cuse...

More good stuff from two of their bright ones Paulie Peppas and dasher.

Peppas:
Say Hurley miraculously gets em to a final four in the next few years. They actual blue bloods and schools with a lot deeper pockets will go after him, will he stay?

Dasher:

Of course not. Staying isn't who UConn is anymore. And that is what being at a non power 5 school is all about. Did Chris Mack stay at Cinn.? A fellow american member that was left waiting at the church.

Of note: pretty sure chris mack was at Xavier and not cincy. Lol. And we are a blue blood. You have to win multiple titles for that.

And Xavier isn’t a Blueblood. Neither are Louisville or Syracuse.

UCONN - 5 FF’s, 4 NC’s, 7 OBE Tourney titles 1 AAC, 10 OBE regular season titles, 13 lottery picks 33 NBA players (Calhoun Era)

Cuse- 6 FF’s, 1 NC, 5 OBE Tourney titles (2 “vacated”), 10 OBE regularly season titles, 41 NBA players (started from Boheim took over) 12 lottery picks(?)

Did I get any numbers wrong? Doing this quickly through mobile

Yes, Syracuse also has a helms or two and two TBT's final fours. I know it doesn't mean much to most of the nation, but its important to them.

Be nice, the old man needs his naps. I hope Hurley is telling recruits that this guy is VERY old, has a history of health problems and could need to retire at any moment. That's what people did to Calhoun.

I'd guess he isn't. Hurley is too busy selling UConn's history and tradition of sending people to NBA who actually go on to be successful, and of course his own no nonsense tell it like it is coaching style.

I doubt he uses negative recruiting against Cuse. Let sleeping pickers lie, right?

"Yikes they said "1 fluke Final Four from being really pessimistic about their program" - where to even start with how wrong that statement is. How about this? They talk about a fluke Final Four but are obviously ignoring 2011 and 2014. Those 2 were the definition of fluke. Then saying we got lucky to get there because MSU lost? (who we beat last year anyway) But they had to beat Butler in 2011 and Georgia Tech in 2004 to win those...

As an aside - I went to the UConn/Cincinnati football game yesterday - some guy had a UConn shirt on and on the back said "UConn 4 Syracuse 1" - they have such a weird obsession with us"

They currently have a 30 page thread about us....

Edit: Those THREE Final Fours that poster mentioned are THREE NC's

That's interesting. I didn't think Seweracuse had that many NBA players and that many lottery picks.

Agree. I just hope that this board doesn't melt down if we end up missing on both Precious and Kofi. I don't think we will, but it's a possibility, and as frustrating as it would be, it would not mean the sky's falling.

You know what they say -- Akok in the hand is worth two in the bush.
