If you had any integrity you would reply with some content…..but you won’t. I don’t appreciate your and a few others taking what I post putting your spin on it then objectively ignoring any misunderstanding so you can troll. Also @aceboon I know who is in the avatar it enhances my view since an avatar is usually something make believe.

And calling me bro? What’s that about…..do you usually continually troll your bro’s? Just don’t understand why some of you would rather insult than be decent…or just leave it alone….bro yeah right.

What prompted my post was the fact that I thought it was funny that your handle is huntfor7 but instead of posting like a guy whose team has won 6 titles and is coming off B2B championships, you’re posting like it’s 1998, when we had zero. We are recruiting at a level the likes of which this program has never seen and you seemed to not see that. Hopefully you’ve been reassured by the comments in this thread explaining how good things are going. I genuinely hope everybody here is enjoying this incredible ride.

Well he‘s had a minimum of 3 different handles here in under 2 years so I’m sure you’ve already put more thought into it than he ever did.

I appreciate the response. Thank you. It’s a long post so read it if you want.

My whole point was that it makes no difference how many 5* we recruit. I don’t care. I care that Hurley is getting the players he thinks fit best. Of course I am enjoying this ride. I have been living and dying with whether we win or lose since the mid 70’s. I know how great this is. Just today my son and I rewatched the Purdue game since our football team stinks. I cannot express in words how great this is and to hear people like Bilas saying what UConn is doing is unbelievable. This is a dream not just a dream season.

When I left CT in 1991, there was no internet or DirectTV. My best friend would record the games overnight them to me so I could watch them. We are talking VHF…And I tried the best I could to avoid any news or watch sports until I got the tape so I would not know the outcome. That went on for four years. If anyone appreciates this I can assure you it is me.

And actually the line under my “frequently changed handle” ( as pointed out by another usual insulter) actually reads “built Hurley strong” not 5* strong. I don’t care how many recruits we get or don’t get I care about the results. That is really how I feel. We just went back to back and I think we have a chance to three peat and that is not because we are recruiting more 5* than other schools. Our teams are built the way Hurley wants to build them. Castle IMO was one of the top players coming out of high school. He probably was not 100% until late in the season and then we almost became unbeatable. He was 9 coming in and two going out. I also think he will have a better NBA career than Sheppard. McNeeley is 10 coming in and I would expect he will be one and done so let’s see how many 5* go before him in the draft.

My point was it’s like a broken record whenever we don’t get a recruit there is a thread like this. So it was a bad attempt at humor “you’ll get nothing and like it ”…. it sarcasm, irony whatever but it was meant as why do we even care. The only recruit or recruiting process I have ever really cared about was Ray Allen because I lived in SC and would go to his games at Dalzell/Hillcrest. So to another point I know who Ray Allen is and I could probably quote you most of the scenes from the movie. That was at least until last year and I got caught up in the Flagg drama here.

All I can say is that I am being truthful that the post was meant to be satirical in nature. I really don’t follow recruiting. I did it once last year and I saw that it was not worth really putting any emotion into.

But I do appreciate you taking the time and responding…..I am guessing you are not going to believe what I just explained but it is the truth.
