Big East Helps UConn Draw Recruits

Memphis drew better recruits.

Memphis drew better recruits.

The Big East is to the AAC what most posters here are to you.

1000x better.

I think you're in the wrong thread again.

That article is vintage Zagoria.

He takes an article he wrote whenever, repackages the quotes, adds some info cribbed from articles other people write and bam, hits publish. He grabs that bit about Ray Allen and throws it in there without realizing that he’s missed the context of the quote.

But this time for the New York Times!

I was thinking all the same things reading it. Did he learn how to write like that in college? Practically all his articles are the same.

The Ray Allen quote doesn't belong there. Zagoria is such a dope. (Sorry husky99 if I've offended you.).

BE > AAC
AAC + $$$$$$$ > BE

it takes about two seconds to look at the respective recruiting classes to realize memphis was the exception last year. the big east currently has 3 teams in the top 25 and none of them are named villanova. 6 teams have atleast one 4 star committed and that's with nova basically taking the year off.

houston is the only AAC school with a 4 star committed right now, other than UConn, which basically counts as big east team as far as 2020 recruiting is concerned. the respective recruiting isn't in the same ballpark

maybe if UConn won some games in the AAC they would have recruited better.

idk his metrics of course, but if it makes him money, guess the jokes on us. clicks win. if you can bang one of those articles out in 15 minutes and generate revenue, you're winning.

AAC $$$ are a misnomer considering we have to pay to produce our games, we also get to save on travel costs for 99% of our sports. We don't get Andre Jackson or Javonte Brown Ferguson if we aren't in the Big East. Big East=A Good thing

He's talking about Memphis buying recruits.

Yeah like all the other AAC juggernauts.... doof

 

[Devland]

Is it the Big East or Hurley drawing recruits? There are two moving parts here. Ollie was drawing recruits until he lost them all.

Trick question! It's both!

Both recruits have specifically mentioned the Big East when they committed so it's definitely a huge benefit

What does it say about our program that we can't recruit without the help of being in a "good" conference?Pretty much says the Uconn name doesn't mean much. BS! I think being in the big east helping us is a myth. Our recruiting fell off because the guy doing the recruiting wasn't very good at recruiting plain and simple. Ollie was a straight up trash recruiter.

Just say no.

Its a myth. Olliie was a trash recruiter. If we had spent the last 5 years with high seeds in the tourney, winning national titles and constantly in the top 10 and Ollie got off his rear end and put in the work recruits wouldn't care what conference we were in. It'd be about going to Uconn.

Facts bro. Deal with it.

Exactly. Ollie/UConn simply did not get it done. To blame it on the conference situation is lazy and disingenuous, this was an in-house failure.

 

[Psolo12]

Facts bro. Deal with it.

The only fact here is that recruits have specifically stated the big east when asking what they're looking forward to. Ignoring that is just stupid.

 

[Excalibur]

"Draw" recruits? As in like one of your French girls?

 

[Waquoit]

Facts bro. Deal with it.

I unfriend you
