Message: [QUOTE="Uconnfanatic, post: 2639390, member: 4150"] Ollie faced a lot of negative recruiting the past two years, against the conference and against his damaged reputation. I am actually surprised he did as well as he did with the class coming in considering the negative recruiting he was up against. Hurley, assuming its him, won't have that severe handicap. Yes he'll still have the conference issues but I think UConn's poor play and the ability for other programs to claim that UConn was poorly coached will no longer be an issue. Instead we get the benefit of Hurley's reputation as a coach on the rise and the ability to sell recruits on the chance to join a program looking to regain its former position of prominence. Recruiting should get an instant upgrade in terms of the level of kids we can legitimately go after and bring in here. [/QUOTE]
