Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2499479, member: 153"] Alterique is not on the floor and he was a McD kid, but as for the transfers, you had one kid coming off an ACL who came here by default (i.e. we were one of the clubs that stuck by him), another local kid who was roundly criticized on this board by people who had watched him play in HS (in other words, his high ranking was overblown), and then the 3rd transfer, Vance, dropped like a stone in the rankings his senior year as clubs stayed away. These were not the prototypical kids UConn used to recruit, even if they were ranked in similar spots. UConn wanted Jeremy Lamb badly, and they scouted him well. He committed early. He didn't come to UConn for lack of anyone else wanting him. Same with Napier. These were kids UConn was high on. Enoch and Vance were more Scott Hazelton than anything else. I guess it remains to be seen, but I don't think 3 talented kids transferred out of the program. The biggest problem is the lack of development of Jalen, but also the lack of a point guard. [/QUOTE]
