First off, rebuilding Wagner and rebuilding UConn are two entirely different beasts.  Part of rebuilding UConn is to bring back  the old UConn "swag" and again making it a destination program.  In order to succeed, you need to bring in top 75 talent and win important games.  Hurley is a stand up guy and I don't think many believe he will actually pull a scholarship but rest assured he wants as many available as  possible.  He has even mentioned a few times that this roster isn't UConn quality.  I often laugh at the hypocrisy of this board.  Many posters criticized Hurley all season and questioned if he was the right hire because of some of the results.  Now, most of you don't want him to pull scholarships from players that clearly aren't high major quality.  The latter is fine.  We can wait it out.  But don't criticize the man next year, when this roster goes 16-14, loses in the second round of the AAC, and doesn't make the tournament.  Not even the best coach can win with 6 quality guys, assuming the three incoming freshman add value from day 1.
