Message: [QUOTE="GAlawyer, post: 2791538, member: 7704"] This is bulletin board material for sure. Expectations within the program, from Coach Hurley down, will not tolerate an 8th place finish in the AAC. We are UConn dammit. The last 2 years were an anomoly - we get back to who we are starting now. I know it's a partial rebuild, but the cupboard is far from entirely bare, and for 2019 and 2020 recruiting, we can't finish 8th in the American anymore. It's just not an option. You hear about how competitive practices are, and how much effort and hardwork are being stressed more than in the past few years. That can be the difference, with the talent we have, between 8th place and top 4, which is enough to get back into the dance and confirm the narrative that UConn is on the short road back, so everybody better get ready.
