Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3734855, member: 3535"] I think it's been more "unlucky" than cyclical. Boykin decommitted the last minute. No time to recruit. In order to maintain balance upfront he gets transfer commits from Stevens and Camara. This blocks younger bigs from coming other than maybe one "big" player. Stevens only stays one year and Camara is just never able to play though year over year hope is held out. Then the 2017 class - of the 4 players (guards and wings) rated as 97/98 by Hoopgurlz- only one ends up staying. This blocks future 2018 guard and wing recruits other than the #1 player in CWill. Between the bigs that left early/unable to play and the 2017 class of guards and wings that transferred - it was just unlucky. It happens. The 2015 class according to hoogurlz UCONN had 1. 6, and 23. While 23 left - they picked up Stevens who was a 23 in 2014 and Camara who played well in SEC. Add that up with 2017 in which he had 1,13,16, and 29 -- - (only 1 of the 4 remained) this is still solid recruiting imo and not cyclical. They just didn't "fit." [/QUOTE]
