Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 2737179, member: 2844"] And you know this quality to be a fact? KO got roasted by many for going the grad xfer route and for shooting for the elite - but to be a player in the top program game you have to get the elite caliber players. KO struck out and when you strike out you have failed Heron is proven quality, the guys you refer to are not proven nor have the grads proven to be reliable vs quality comp I'll take 1-2 years of Heron vs "reputation for treating players well" - whatever that means - JC would in a heartbeat You may not agree with Champs but his statements are not absurd. Dan Hurley is a really good get for UConn but I also see that he is playing a risky game of keeping all that want to stay vs getting the best available out there. I also think he is going to be frustrated in the number of quality players who will not play at UConn - not because of UConn or because of Dan Hurley- but because of the AAC - KO found that to be the most frustrating aspect of recruiting. IMHO if Heron even shows a glimpse of desire to play in Storrs and Dan Hurley looks the other way because "he wants to treat his current players well" I will be disappointed in his decision making. To be among the best when you are playing with a distraction (AAC) you have to get the best parts for your machine. [/QUOTE]
