I've enjoyed reading this board for years and only recently decided to post on here. This will be my 9th and final post. I'll gladly go back to just reading. Not fun getting attacked for throwing ideas out there for discussion. I don't have the time, energy, or the inclination to have to defend every point I make.
To Husky Bball Fan and CL82.....sorry for using the terms "talent level has fallen off a cliff" and "the last few years." Didn't realize you would micro-analyze my choices of words and ignore my larger point. Just trying to say making a decision on the next head coach based on "retaining what we have now" is ludicrous because we have next to nothing now. If you're a UConn fan and you're happy going forward with Shabazz, Ryan, and Omar combined with the shape we're in with any of the top 2013 recruits nationally, evidently the talent level hasn't fallen off a cliff. I stand corrected.
To HeGotGame....I was incorrect to imply Heyward and Mack were brought in by Lickliter. They were signed by Stevens. Matt Howard was signed by Lickliter, but you chose to ignore that in your attack on me. Don't throw Nored into the talk. He means nothing to my point. You threw that in there. My point -AGAIN - is Stevens had the three best players in the history of the school (and probably Top 15 in history of the Horizon League) all on his team at ONE TIME for two years, and two of them on his team for a 3rd year. He had an NBA lottery pick and two borderline NBA players on one team in the freakin' HORIZON LEAGUE. He did a what he was supposed to do...dominate the league. Now that they are all gone, he went 11-7, 4th place, and a CBI bid (with Quinnipiac btw).
And my 2nd point, which you also chose to ignore, was EXACTLY LIKE KENO DAVIS, I'm sure Stevens would be a great recruiter up and down the Northeast. I'd love to have you and I in on a four-way phone call to listen the first time he or one of his Midwest assistants calls Jimmy Salmon, Curtis Malone, or Keith Stevens and says they want in on one of their kids for UConn. When you're done googling those names, come back at me, the guy who knows nothing about college basketball.
