Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 2254068, member: 5436"] Seriously... does some group of the "Ollie and staff are incompetent" crowd have to ruin practically every single recruiting thread on this board with the same, tired narrative? Particularly on guys like this one where there could be a variety of legitimate reasons that he would not fit the mold of what this staff is looking for in a future UConn player? A thread starts that he is available, and then one of you comments on his numbers. Like everyone else, you know virtually nothing about the young man other than his numbers, but does that stop you? Of course not! Instead, you emphatically state he is what we need and "Wow, we must have him, he will automatically make us better next year!" Then, when you find out we have not shown interest, it is another "Ollie crime against humanity!" and "Ollie once again proves he is incompetent!" Then, a few more of you chime in and pile on the narrative, even when you have no idea of why Ollie and the staff have not shown interest in the guy. But that of course does not matter to any of you... it is just more proof that they are automatically and totally incompetent! Lather, rinse, repeat. PLEASE... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... STOP! You guys want to be angry and vitriolic about losing out on Sid Wilson, A.J. Reeves and other similar recruits to them, fine. Even then some of the rhetoric goes over the top, but at least it is understandable. But going to the level of using every recruiting thread as another point of proof that our coaching staff is incompetent on practically every guy who becomes available is ridiculous. You guys create news where there is none just to spout off the same negative verbiage. Can we at least see how this year's recruiting class develops, if it does? "Quite frankly", I used to have a higher opinion of our fan base than I do now... [/QUOTE]
